Nikon EL2 - Manual (Page 59)

The Nikon EL2 camera is designed to synchronize with
most types of flashbulbs at almost all shutter speeds and
with electronic flash at speeds to 1/125 second. Addi­
tionally, the camera is fitted with an automatic sync
switchover circuit which selects the proper synchroniza­
tion timing as the shutter speed is selected (operation
with the shutter-speed dial set to “A” is not possible,
however). The table below shows which shutter speeds
may be used with different types of flashbulbs.
No special adapters are necessary when using flash
units equipped with an ISO-type hot-shoe mount (such
as Nikon Speedlight Units SB-3 and SB-4) or bottom-
mount units (such as the Speedlight SB-5). For other
Nikon units, such as the Flash Unit BC-7 and Speed-
light Unit SB-2, the Flash Unit Coupler AS-2 is avail­
able and offers, again, operation without the need for
a sync cord.
