The Electronic Synchronization System provides a feedback signal (through the driver utilized) after the shutter
transfers to the open state. The system incorporates aninfrared emitting diode, an infrared sensitive detecting
transistor, and an interrupting vane. The vane is attachedto the shutter so as to block the light path between theemitter and detector in the closed position. When theshutter transfers to the 80% open position, the vane isremoved from the infrared light path, allowing the emitterto switch the detector to the active state. No connection
to the designated synchronization pins when no electronic sync. is selected.
