Thank's >There seems to be a bit confusion about this issue >(the manual is not very clear in this aspect). > >But the LX works like this: > >1) The LX has an auto sync feature, i.e. sync speed is >set automatically. > >2) Clearly, the sync speed cannot be set automatically >when the shutter is set at any mechanically controlled >speed (i.e. 1/75-2000 and B).
