PROPER CARE OF YOUR CAMERA* Never attempt to wipe dust or dirt from the camera's
lens or windows with your fingers. Always use a blower*

to blow the dust away, or wipe the surface gently withcamera lens tissue or a soft cloth.
lmpact, high humidity, salt, and other abnormalconditions can cause the camera to malfunction. Carefully
wipe off the camera after using it at the beacn or areas
subjected to salt spray, high humidity, or chemicals.

* Take care not to expose the camera to sudden changes***
4in temperature, which can cause condensation to formon the lens, on the film, inside the camera body, or onother surfaces.
Do not leave the camera for long periods in your car, in
direct sunlight or in any other area subjected to extremely
high temperatures. Doing so can ruin your film and evencause the camera to malfunction.
When using a tripod, the screw length should be lessthan 5.7mm (1/4 inch). Never try to force a longer screw
into the mounting hole.
Do not leave the camera near a TV, radio, or any otherdevice that generates strong magnetic fields. Description of Parts.

FOCUSING
1. Focusing is by turning Focusing Ring @ while looking
at the image in the viewfinder.

2. In the center of the Viewfinder Window @ a circled area
is seen. The circle area includes a splitimage spot andmicroprism collar. Outside the circle area is the matted
surface screen.
3. In focusing operation using the split-image spot, when
the image divided horizontally is brought into alignmentby turning the Focusing Ring @, the image locuses cor-

rectly.

4. In focusing using the microprism collar, when the image is seen clear and sharp, precise focusing is secured. lf the image is out of focus, it appears broken
and shimmering.

5. In focusing using the matte surface area, once the sharpest image is seen, focus is correct.

6. Choose the most effective way for focusing according
to the shooting situation, such as the lens used, thesubject, etc.

7. The Viewfinder Frame @ is arranged on the viewfinder
eyepiece. This is very useful when using optionally avail-able accessories, such as a rubber eyecup, diopter
lenses, angle finders, magnifiers, etc.

SYSTEM
1. Advance the film and match "Auto 3000" on the Shutter
Speed Dial@ with Shutter Speed Index @.

2. Press the Shutter Release Button @ partly, while looking through the Viewfinder Window @ and two LED's
will light; the uppermost LED "A" means that the mode

is now set in AUTO exposure mode. and the other indicates the shutter speed to be use when fully releasing
the shutter. For instance, if the LED "A" and LED pointing "250" are lighting, then fully release the shutter and
1/250 second shutter speed will be used in auto exposure control mode.
3. lf the LED pointing '3000" is blinking, it means overexposure resulting in unsuccessful photography. Turn Aperture Ring @ to set to the smaller number.
4. When the LED pointing to "1-8" is lighting, extreme slow
shutter speed approx. 2 to 8 seconds is used.

28

www.butkus.us5. Even when setting the lens aperture to full aperture, if
the value of the LED lighting indication is smaller thanthe value corresponding to the focal length of lens, shutter releasing cannot be expected without camera move-

ment. For example, in photography using 135mm focal
length lens with full aperture, if slower shutter speed

than 11125 is set and it is indicated by LED lighting,camera movement may occur when releasing the shutter. Use of tripod and/or remote shutter release control
cable is recommended.

AE LOCK
1. Bring the camera close to the subject to the point that
exposure is not affected by the background.

2. Press the AE Lock Button @ once to memorize the ex-posure. Press AE Lock Button @ a second time to cancel without taking a picture.
3. Once the Shutter Release Button @ is partly pressed,
the indication of LED's will last approx. 20 seconds. AE
Lock is automatically released when the Shutter Release Button @ is pressed for the shot.

MANUAL EXPOSURE PHOTOGRAPHY
1. Advance the film and set a value 'from"2" to "2000" provided on the Shutter Speed Dial @ to the Shutter Speedndex @. For example, set "2" lor 1/2 second shutter
speed and "125" lor 1/125 second.
2. Look through the Viewfinder Window @ while partly
pressing the Shutter Release Button @ and, on the left
side bar, two LED's lighting. The value of LED lighting isselected by you, and the other LED blinking will be seen.
The value indicated by blinking LED is the shutter speed
recommended by autoexpousure system of the camera. Therefore, the value of this blinking LED may change
according to the change of the subject's luminance, orby turning Aperture Ring @.
3. lf the Shutter Speed Dial @ is turned counterclockwise,
the lighting LED shifts upward and higher shutter speed
is set. lf the dial is turned clockwise, the lighting LED
comes down and slower shutter speed is set.
f32

www.butkus.us

www.butkus.us4. The best way to find the appropriate exposure by manual
operation is matching the shutter speed value which
the lighting LED indicates with the value indicated byblinking LED.
5. Once the Shutter Release Button @ is partly pressed,
the indication of LED's will last approx. 20 seconds. So
you can move from the Shutter Release Button @ to

the Shutter Speed Dial @ for further operation while
viewing the indication.

1. Press the Shutter Release Button @ to make the firstshot.
2. Advance the film while turning the ME Lever @ toward
you. The Film Counter @ will not advance during multiexposure photography.
3. Press the Shutter Release Button @ to make the second shot.
4. When you ask camera shop to print your pictures, you
had better tell them that multiple exposures were taken.
lf not, they may take them for "accidental" double exposures and not print your shots.

BULB PHOTOGRAPHY IN "B'' SETTING
1. Setting the mode into "B" (bulb), the frame is exposed
as long as the Shutter Release Button @ is pressed.
When extreme slow shutter speed is necessary for example in night scene photography, use of "B" setting isuseful.
2. Advance the film and set "B" on the Shutter Speed Dial
@ with the Shutter Speed lndex @.
3. Look through the Viewfinder Window @ while partly
pressing the Shutter Release Button @ and LED's "B"willlight.

4. For photography in this "B" mode setting, use of a triood and/or a remote shutter release control cable isnecessary.

5. In "B" mode setting, self-timer cannot be used.

FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
1. To use a cordless type of flash unit, simply set it to the
Hot Shoe @.

2. Advance the film and turn the Shutter Speed Dial @ sothat the "60" on the dial aligns with the Shutter Speed
Index @.

3. Look through the Viewfinder Window @ while partly

pressing the Shutter Release Button @. Confirm thatLED "60" is lighted.

At this time, another LED will be blinking to indicate the

shutter speed recommended by automatic exposuresystem. However, the value of blinking LED does notaffect flash photography.

4. When using the automatic flash unit, set the apertureto the f-stop specified in the instruction manual of the
flash unit.
5. When using the usual flash unit, use the f-stop value
obtained by the formula show below:
F-stop value (Fn) =guide number (lSO 100 m) ..

DEPTH-OF.FIELD
1. When you are focusing on a given subject, objects inthe foreground and background will appear acceptably
sharp in the picture. The range in which all objects appear acceptably sharp in the picture is called the "depthof-field". The depth-of{ield changes depending on thefollowing rules;a) The greater the f-stop value is set with the lens used,
the wider range of depth of field is obtained meaning that the range in which all objects appear in focus extends.
b) The more distant from the camera the subject moves,
the wider is the deoth-of-field.
c) The smaller the focal length the lens used has, thedepth of field becomes the wider.
d) When you are focusing on a given subject, the depthof field in front of the subject is narrower than thatbehind the subject.

2. To know the depth of field in your shooting situation,use Depth-of-Field Scale @. The Depth-of-Field Scale@ is engraved with Aperture Index @. For example,
when a lens of 50mm focal length is focused on a subject at a distance of 3m with the aperture of f/8, thedepth of field is read as Irom 2.4m to 4.5m by reading
the values on the Depth-of-Field Scale @ corresponding to the set f-stop value "8". This means, in this shoot-ing situation, all objects within the range from approx.
2.4 to approx. 4.5m distance from the camera will be
reproduced with acceptable sharpness.

DEPTH.OF-FIELD PREVIEWIn the viewfinder you can visually observe the depthof-field provided by manually selected F-stop.
1 . Manually adjust the Lens Aperture to the desired F-stop.
Press the Preview Lever @.

2. Observe the results of increased sharpness on the(darkened) image in the Viewfinder.

* As it will cause the camera to malfunction, please refrain from pushing the Shutter Release Button @ or
winding the film while holding down the Preview Lever

INFRARED FILM
Always readjust your focus to the infrared focusing markwhen using infrared films and infrared filters. This is necessary because the infrared rays have longer wave lengths
than the visible light rays you see and focus with, and thecamera lens focuses them slightly further back inside thecamera. Therefore visual focusing cannot be accurate without adjustment.
1. Attach the infrared filter and focus on the subject. Readthe indicated distance of the Focusing Index @.
2. Shift that distance setting over to the red Infrared Photography Index @. Set the exposure in accordance with
the instructions for the film.
