Hi all,
I have an old F-1, which is the first model. The condition is still nice based on its version and age.
When I use it with flash gun today, I notice the flash can not be triggered 1/60 or below but above 1/125 . Besides, I notice the sound at 1/60 is strange. It is "Squeezee.."in a fast way instead of " ch-oop".
How to fix this problem? Where is the flash sync. mechanics?
Thank you.
Kevin
