QL17 G-III : stupid question ? Probably

Hi All,

That's certainly a stupid question, but I'll try..I can live with such a shame ;-)
What are these 3 blues numbers written on the aperture ring ? I mean on the right of the A mark, we can see the numbers from left to right 28, 20 and 14. (I can't see what are the changes operated on the aperture)

Thanks,

The flash feature is actually pretty helpful, as the Canonet is a good daytime fill-flash camera- you can use the flash at any shutter speed.

I asked the same "stupid" question yesterday, but I found the answer and avoided the shame by editing my post before anyone saw it!!! In the instruction manual, they seem to imply that it should only be used with a non-Canolite D flash unit.

I was wondering the same thing so thank you for asking. I, of course, didn't read the manual. It's funner (is that a word?) to ask here with all the knowledgeable people here.

I actually have a stuck shutter on mine and trying to get it unstuck with the instructions in this forum. I dunno what I'd do without this place.

That's definitely true. Now on to that Leica I've been wanting.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer and comments ;-). I wasn't the only one....Saved.

The doc is not so big, and I have missed that...Probably because I wasn't interested in the flash for the moment.

Thanks again.
