However, comparing the circuit in Aford's post to the one in the Electro 35 manual, I can't see any difference and I can't see anything that will automatically switch the shutter speed to 1/30th.
This site limits the size of pictures you can post.
(However, since I really have no idea how to post pictures to this site, afraid I can't be of more help here.) Post it on Flickr or some other photo-sharing site? Yashi GSN etc have this switch to manually set 1/30, originally meant for flash bulbs but GX has not. Second, how is the 'speed limiter' working which prevents the GX to use speeds longer than 1/30 sec when a flash is attached and switched on? I figured out so far that this limiter needs a flash trigger voltage of at least 5 volts to block the longer speeds.Ĭase is, I'm doing quite a lot of b/w low light work where it often would be nice to have a fixed 1/30 sec to prevent blur.
Has any of you ever seen a circuit/wiring diagram of the Yashica Electro GX? I'm looking for two very special things.
