There are actually two ways of using photollash Indoors. One way is called the "open-flash" method, and It can be used with any camera that is equipped to take time exposures. In this case, the bulb is flashed by a simple flashing unit, at an in- stant when the shutter is open foru time_exposure. It works this way. The camera Is first. set
