3 Times More Area than 35mm Format, Less

Waste of The Negative Area:

The 6

4.5cm

format offers approx. 3 times more area

than the 35mm (24

36mm) format. The horizontal and

vertical ratio of the area is proportional to the size of most

printing papers, so there is little waste of the negative

area. For beautiful color enlargements, the 6

4.5cm

the ideal format.

Versatile

Light-Weight Body:

The M645 Super is a compact, light-weight, all-round

camera designed to handle as easily and speedily as a

35mm SLR.

Its size and weight are well suited for action photo-

graphers.

, Interchangeable Film Holder System Enables

Polaroid Photography:

The

M645

Super features an interchangeable film holder

system. A range of film holders can be used depending on

the application.

A 35mm

Roll Film Holder, “Polaroid” Land

Pack Film Holder as well as 120 and 220 Roll Film Holders

are available. This system can

quickly attached to the

camera, ready for the first photograph. Also, fail-safe

devices are incorporated including a release

lock

and

removal lock, using a Dark Slide.

Unique

Moving Coil Electromagnetic Release

and High-Precision Electronic Shutter:

The M645 Super

features a

revolutionary, quartz-controlled

moving coil electronic shutter which conserves battery

consumption.

The moving coil is operated

twice

by an electronic circuit,

acuate

the electromagnetic release.

This unique method allows high-precision shutter control

as well as wireless remote control.

Large, Bright Focusing Screen N, to satisfy your

Applications:

It becomes easy to obtain optimum results when looking

through the large, bright viewfinder. Five types of Focusing

Screens are available to facilitate photographing special

subjects.

Interchangeable Viewfinders for All Applications:

Lightweight, Waist Level Finder N

The waist level finder hood can be opened and closed

with a single action. Lifting the magnifier upright com-

pletely seals the hood, making the viewfinder ideal for

outdoor photography, close-ups and copying. The

sports finder which is located outside the hood is con-

venient for fast action photography.

l Prism Finder N suitable for snap photography

The prism finder is well-suited for action photography

providing an unreversed, eye-level image. Horizontal or

vertical photographs are both easy with this finder.

. 3-way

TTL

metering

AE Prism Finder N

This

AE Prism Finder N features 3-way metering which

can automatically switch from center-weighted averag-

ing metering for general photography, to spot metering

which will emphasize a specific photographic point or

you can designate either of these metering methods

according to photographic conditions. These metering

systems facilitate AE Photography under difficult

conditions, such as adverse lighting. Further a

exposure compensator expands the range of exposure

control.

A wide Variety of Multi-coated Lenses for Clear,

Sharp Images:

Mamiya-Sekor lenses have achieved world-renown rec-

ognition as professional lenses of exceptional contrast,

high resolution, clear definition and excellent color

balance. The lens series includes wide-angle to telephoto,

and special applications lenses. All of these lenses are

multi-coated lo

eliminate

flare and ghosting, even under

adverse lighting

conditions.

A Broad Accessory System to Expand Your

Scope:

A full range of accessories are available for the

M645

Super to assist you in capturing virtually any type of

image. These accessories include hand grips for conve-

nient, easy handling. auto extension rings for easy close-

ups and copying, auto bellows, and infrared cordless

remote control to satisfy all photographic requirements.

Please refer to the M645 Super system chart for a com-

plete listing.

First, insert the battery

terminal into

the Battery Chamber and press the

battery’s

terminal in while confirming

battery polarity. Then close the cover.

*Before inserting the battery, arrange

the battery removal ribbon correctly

passing it under, then over, the bat-

tery. Consequently the battery can

be removed easily by pulling the end

of the ribbon.

When the

Battery

Check Button

(located on the front of the camera) is

depressed, the

Battery

Check Lamp

lights up. The lamp will not light if

the battery capacity is insufficient or if

the battery is inserted incorrectly.

Caution:

1. Carefully wipe the contacts of the

battery before inserting it into the

chamber. Failure to do this could result

poor

electrical contact and conse-

quent erratic functioning of the camera.

2. When the

camera

is not used for a

long period of time, remove the battery

and store it in a

cool,

dry place.

Battery

life differs, depending on

battery brand, period after manufac-

ture, storage conditions, temperature

during operation and operating fre-

quency. Prior to use, check the battery

condition, using a battery checker.

It is recommended that you take a

spare battery with you when going out

on a photographic trip, for example.

4. This camera is designed for use

with either a silver-oxide or alkaline-

manganes battery. However. the life of

a silver-oxide battery will be much

longer. The silver-oxide battery is

pre-

fered

when the AE Prism Finder is

attached.

While looking through the viewfin-

der, adjust the lens Focusing Ring

until the most important part of the

subject appears sharp and clear.

Extremely accurate focusing is

simplified by the split-image

range-

finder spot located in the center of

the Focusing Screen. (to use,

match up the image on both sides

of the split-image.)

The split-image rangefinder spot is

surrounded by a microprism collar

which fractures the image whenever

goes

slightly out-of-focus. Con-

sequently, this is an invaluable aid

for pinpoint focusing accuracy.

The outer ground glass ring (which

encircles the microprism collar) can

be also used for focusing.

*As an accessory, Mamiya offers

Diopter Correction Lenses which can

be attached to the viewfinders. Near

and farsighted persons will find these

accessories useful for obtaining

accurate focus.

*The Focusing Screen is interchange-

able. To change screens, refer to the

instruction manual supplied with the

screens.

Set the

desired

f/stop

on the Aperture

Ring

by aligning the f/number with

the red reference dot

(The Aperture

Ring has a click stop for each f/stop.

In-between clicks can

also

be used.)

AM (Auto/Manual) Lever

1. In normal photography, set AM

Lever so that character “A” is visible

in the lever window. If you do so,

the aperture will remain wide open,

stopping the lens down only during

shutter

operation.

2. Moving the AM Lever of the lens so

that “M” is visible will stop the lens

down to the preselected aperture,

thus making it possible to confirm

effect of the aperture through the

viewfinder.

The Shutter Release Button

is a

2-step

type. The release pressure

will charge halfway through the

cycle. The first step light up the

metering related display. The

second step is the electromagnetic

shutter release position. (The first

position operates only when the AE

Prism Finder N is used.)

If the film is not completely

advanced,

the

Dark Slide is not

removed or the battery is

exhausted, the shutter can not be

released even when pushing the

Shutter Release Button.

After releasing the shutter, the

Wind-up Crank is unlocked auto-

matically, making it possible to

transport the film to the next frame.

When this setting is used, the shutter

speed is always 1/60 sec. regardless

of the Shutter Speed Dial

postion.

When your camera is not in use, set

the Shutter Release Selector to the

red dot so that the power is turned

OFF.

*In

normal photography, set

the shutter

Release Selctor

to the “NORMAL”

(white square) position.

*Note: Always make sure that the

Shutter Release Selector clicks into

position. When the battery is

exhausted

during

photography, and

the shutter can not be released, set

the selector to the yellow dot, and

you will be able to use the mechanical

shutter at 1/60 sec.

Attaching and Removing the

Neck

to the Camera

Eye-level Operation

No matter how carefully one focuses

the camera, if there is camera move-

ment during the instant that the shutter

is released, sharp pictures are unlikely.

To eliminate camera movement, care

must be taken regarding the method of

holding the camera and releasing the

shutter.

Waist-level Operation

When hand-holding the camera with

the Waist Level Finder attached, adjust

the length of the neck strap to take out

the slack and

Crank, insert the neck strap fastener @

into the lower pad of the double

solt.

1. Turn the Wind-up Crank until it

stops

(one turn), and the camera is

ready for the next exposure.

After the fixed number of exposures

has been taken (15 for 120 film,

for 220 film), the Shutter Release

Button automatically locks, and the

Wind-up Crank becomes free. At

that time, wind the Crank until the

leader paper is completely wound

onto the Take-up Spool. (By turning

the crank 4 to 5 times after the final

frame of the film comes in sight, the

film will be wound up completely.)

Open the Back Cover, and remove

the Roll Film Insert. The exposure

counter will return to

(start)

automatically.

Move the Spool Clip of the Roll Film

Insert outward to remove the film.

Remove the film from the Roll Film

Insert, exercising care that the film

does not loosen, and seal it.

Depth-of-field refers to the total area

(foreground and background) which

will appear in sharp focus. The area of

sharpness (depth-of-field) depends

upon the distance the lens is focused

at, the f/stop (or aperture) being used,

and the focal length of the lens.

The area that will appear sharp can be

determined

as follows:

1. Depth-of-field can be determined

referring

to the Depth-of-field

Scale engraved on the lens.

For example, with the 60mm

f/2.8N

lens focused at 10 ft. (3m) and

the

Aperture Ring set to f/22, the

Depth-

of-field Scale reveals that every-

thing from about 7ft.

(2m)

to about

20 ft.

(6m)

will appear sharp.

2. The lens can also be stopped down

to the preselected aperture for

direct viewing of the depth-of-field

by using the AM Lever on the lens.

To do so, move the lever so that “M”

(manual) is visible. When the lens

is set to “M” you can take a picture

observing the depth-of-field in the

finder.

5. Precautions for Mirror Lock-up Lever

If you

carry

a camera with you outdoors with the Mirror

Lock-up Lever at “M. UP”, light passing through the lens

will hit the Shutter Curtain, thereby possibly causing

damage to the curtain. If there is a time lapse before the

next shot during mirror lock-up photography, return the

lever to "NORMAL" or put a cap on the

lens.

(c)

Place the camera in the outside air only during the

moment

exposure.

7. Precautions for AE Shooting

(a) Set

the

film

holder’s Film Speed Dial

the sensitivity

of the film to be used.

When the camera is not used for a long period of time,

remove the battery and any film from the camera.

Avoid storing the camera for prolonged periods of time in a

damp or salty atmosphere. (Color film should be stored at

the manufacturer’s recommended temperatures,)

Since cameras are precision instruments, avoid shocks

and rough handling.

When the camera is stored for a long time, periodically

remove the camera and release the shutter several times

to keep the camera in good condition.

Cleaning:

Never touch the lens or mirror surfaces. When your camera

is contaminated with dust, fingerprints and so on, blow

away the dust particles with a blower, and clean the lens

surface with lens cleaning tissue and lens cleaner. Merely

blowing dust particles off the mirror surface is

sufficient-

never touch the mirror.

Periodic Check:

Periodically check the camera to make sure that it is in

working order. This is especially important before a photo-

graphic assignment. (Check the battery, flash synchroniza-

tion, mirror and shutter movement, film wind, diaphragm

automation and so on.)

If the camera is malfunctioning, take it to the nearest

authorized Mamiya Service Center for repairs.
