I don't know the Ya****ca A, but for most horizontal focal plane shutters,
1/60 is maximum. If the pictures have one side cut off, then it's longer
than 1/60. If it's a between-the-lens shutter, just about any speed is
good.
(The preceding is a _general_ statement that applies to many 35mm cameras,
and possibly MF cameras.)
Is this a MF twin lens reflex? if so, try

For
many camera instruction books, try the first part of that
