Zorki 2c

Hey guys! Just a quick question regarding the Zorki 2c (S), how do I utilise the 'slow speeds'? (The flash synch speeds marked under the normal speed dial. And also what is the flash synch speeds? It's impossible to find a manual for this one! Thanks!

The lower dial only adjusts the delay for the PC (flash) socket, markings are in milliseconds. Set to 0 for modern electronic flashes, the delay setting are so older bulb flash units can reach peak brightness before the shutter is opened. The sync speed on most or all of the fed's and zorki's is 1/30th (or 1/25th if marked)

Thanks very much Laika! Milliseconds eh... useless then 🙂 I was told by some guy that they were slow speeds.. so much for that theory! 🙂
