Your Auto 35/Reflex camera will accept almost any type of flash unit, either electronic flash or the kinds that accept flashbulbs or flashcubes.
You'll find the Bell & Howell Flashcube Adapter (NO. 113821) a very compact unit. It uses 4-shot flashcubes for quick pictures without changing bulbs every exposure. The Flashcube Adapter can be purchased from your Bell & Howell dealer. Auto 35/Reflex with Flashcube Adapter

To install a flash unit on your camera, just mount it on the accessory shoe (or on the bottom of the camera if a bracket is used) and plug the cord into the PC Flash Socket. Be sure your unit has fresh batteries for dependable results. Your dealer can check batteries for you.

Set the camera's Shutter Speed Dial to 1/15 second (15) for flash pictures with all types of flashbulbs and flashcubes. The flash duration of the bulb (usually 1/75 second) will be the effective exposure and will be sufficient to stop action in many situations. When using an electronic flash unit, set the Shutter Speed Dial to 1/60, 1/30, or slower speeds. The flash duration of these units (usually 1/1000 second or less) will stop all but the fastest action.

Since your camera's electric eye is not used for flash pictures, you must set the camera's lens opening manually with the Lens Opening Control Ring. Just turn the ring from EE to the Manual Opening Area. Sight through the viewfinder and turn the ring until the Exposure Indicator points to the desired number.
