AUTO STROBO
300X
OWNER'S MANUAL
This manual will show you how to use your
FUJICA AUTO STROBO 300X correctly.
Please read it through carefully.
SPECIAL FEATURES
1. Your Fujica Auto Strobo 300X is a high-power
series-circuitry computer flash (guide number
30). It provides an option of three apertures to
let you freely take automatic flash pictures. For
example, if you want to take long-range flash
shots, you can use a large aperture and shoot at
up to 11 meters. If you want everything in your
picture sharply focused, the aperture can be
stopped down as far as f/11 (with ISO/ASA 100
film).
2. It is provided for twin-light bounce flash. If the
flash head is tilted for bounced lighting, it auto-
matically converts into a twin flash unit having
a main light and a sublight. With this flash, you
can take perfect bounce-light pictures everytime,
although this type of pictures are generally considered difficult to take with flash.

3. Used on the Fujica AX-5, AX-3, AX-1, or AZ-1,
it will automatically switch the camera's shutter
speed to 1/60-sec. as soon as it is fully charged.
Since you can check the flash charge-up while
looking through the viewfinder, you will not lose
any shooting opportunities.
