Yup, I know - I've done various tricks with my XA-series cameras and
flashes. But for Titoy's sake, and to better explain the concepts of flash
sync at various speeds and combining flash with ambient light, I decided to
stick with explaining how to use a conventional shoe-mount flash and camera
with manually adjustable shutter speeds and apertures.
The XAs can do some pretty incredible stuff. With my XA3 I usually tape
over the DX code contacts on the film cannister and use the ASA switch for
exposure adjustments. Kinda wish they'd just omitted DX coding from the
XA3...
