Special Features of the Mamiya

RZ67

The

following exemplify how the outstanding features of the

RB67

have

been

further refined in the Mamiya

RZ67,

resulting in un-

precedented quality and performance.

1. Ultra Performance Lenses

Without changing the outer diameter of the lens mount on the camera

body, the inner diameter of the mount on the RZ67 has been increased by

7mm (from 54mm on the RB to

61mm

on the RZ). Furthermore, the

flange back (distance of the lens mount to film plane) has been reduced

by the same amount (from 111 mm on the RB to

104mm

on the RZ).

The increase in

size

of the diameter of the mount and decrease in the

distance of the flange back have made it possible to design a new series

of ultra performance lenses designed exclusively

for

the Mamiya RZ67,

offering performance previously believed unattainable. It is now also pos-

sible to design new, specialized optics, such as shift or high speed

lenses.

Moreover, any RB lenses already in the possession of the photo-

grapher can be used on the RZ67 without an adapter or loss in perfor-

mance.

2. Improved Handling

is now possible to advance the film and Exposure Counter, set the

mirrorand Light Baffle, and cock the lens with

a single stroke of the Cock-

ing Lever.

With Winder

attached to the camera body, a gentle touch of the

electromagnetic release makes it possible to effortlessly take consecu-

tive photographs.

As the revolving back is rotated to change from horizontal to vertical for-

mat, or vice versa, the

viewfinder

masks also simultaneously change

automatically, preventing the photographer from seeing anything other

than the area actually being photographed.

While retaining the “T” (time)

setting

on the lens, a “B” (bulb) setting

has been incorporated into the Shutter Speed Dial of the camera body for

added versatility.

The mirror-up mechanism is now automatically engaged as soon as a

cable release is attached to the Mirror-up Socket.

3. Improved Performance

Shutter speed accuracy and durability have been significantly en-

hanced by utilizing an electromagnetic release and Mamiya’s own Mov-

ing Coil system in conjunction with the Seiko

electronic shutter. Addi-

tionally, the longest fixed shutter speed has been increased to 8 seconds,

making the camera more flexible than ever.

When the camera is not prepared for use, the shutter release automati-

cally locks and awaming lamp illuminates in the viewfinder, informing the

photographer precisely what needs to be done, a red lamp indicating that

the Dark Slide must be removed from the Film Holder, and an orange

lamp reminding the photographer to advance the Cocking Lever.

When using a Mamiyalite electronic flash, a green LED illuminates in

the viewfinder when the unit is fully charged and ready to fire.

For viewfinders with built-in exposure meters, the film speed, shutter

speed, and aperture information is electronically transmitted to the expo-

sure meter.

With a Mamiyalite

MZ36R

MZ18R

attached to the RZ67, aperture

and film speed information is automatically and electronically relayed to

the flash unit, controlling its light output.

’

By attaching Winder RZ and Receiver MZ to the RZ67, remote control

of the camera is possible with Transmitter MZ, thereby immensely in-

creasing the applications of the camera.

(Special Features Shared with the

RB67)

The Ideal Format

The 6

7cm format not only offers an area approximately 4.5

greater

than the 35mm negative size, but it enlarges to standard sizes, such as 8

1 0", with virtually no cropping, making it possible to utilize the full nega-

tive area. Ideally suited for publication and standard print sizes, the 6

7cm format makes the ideal choice for professional photographers.

Instant Change in Format

revolving

the back 90’, the photographer can instantly change from

horizontal to vertical format, or vice versa. In the

RZ67.

viewfinder masks

also change automatically, totally eliminating the chance of exposing the

film with the incorrect composition.

Peerless Film Flatness

After prolonged testing and research, Mamiya has developed Film

Holders which solve the problem of film curl by retaining the film perfectly

flat across the entire film plane. Thus, the full potential of Mamiya-Sekor

ultra performance lenses and the large negative size are realized.

In addition to unparalleled film flatness, the Roll Film Holders also in-

corporate a double exposure prevention mechanism. with multiple expo-

sure provision as well.

Interchangeable Film Holders

120, 220 and Polaroid holders are available which not only allow the

photographer to select a holder in accordance with the application, but

also make it possible to change film in mid-roll from color to black and

white, or color negative to color reversal.

Viewing Ease

The standard

Focusing

Hood opens with a single touch. exposing a

large: bright image on the Focusing Screen. With another touch, the

Magnifier Instantly rises for critical focusing. The

four

sides of the Focus-

ing Hood totally block the screen from extraneous light so that the image

always remains bright and clear, enabling the photographer to work

speedily and accurately. Both hood and screen are instantly interchange-

able.

Lens Shutter Design

Use of a lens shutter makes it possible to synchronize electronic flash

at all shutter speeds, not only eliminating the problem of ghost images

(secondary images recorded by available light) occasionally encoun-

tered with focal plane shutters, but also enabling the photographer to

balance flash illumination with available light.

Mirror-up Photography

For occasions when the camera is mounted on a tripod, both the

and RZ67 allow the photographer to raise the mirror well before releasing

the shutter. Since "mirror shock” is thereby completely eliminated.

razor-

sharp photographs are still possible when working at high magnifications

or long shutter speeds. This feature is especially useful

for

close-up work,

telephoto photography, and use of “slow” shutter speeds.

Built-in Bellows

Since the

and

RZ67

have a built-in bellows with a maximum exten-

sion of

46mm,

close-up photography is possible without accessories,

Moreover. by adding an extension tube, a

magnification

ratio of greater

than 1 : 1:1 (lifesize) is possible.

Additional Features

The Film Holder can not be removed from the camera back unless the

Dark Slide is first inserted into the holder, thereby protecting the film from

accidental exposure to light. Additionally, after the holder is removed, the

Dark Slide remains locked to the holder, again guarding the film from

light.

When using wide-angle lenses, the Focusing Knob of the camera can

be locked at the

hyperfocal

distance for focus-free photography. The

Focusing Knob Lock Lever also proves useful when engaged in close-up

photography, using telephoto lenses, or taking consecutive exposures of

a stationary subject.

Finally,

multiple exposures become possible with a mere flickof the RM

Lever.

Inserting a Battery

Because the Mamiya RZ67 does not func-

tion properly without a battery, be sure to load

one into the Battery Chamber before attempt-

ing to use the camera.

The camera uses one of either of the follow-

ing batteries:

4LR444(6V alkaline manganese battery)

4SR44

(6V silver oxide battery)

Pull the Battery Chamber

Cover in the direc-

tion of the arrowhead to open it.

2. Insert the battery into the chamber, taking

care to match the

poles of the battery with

those shown in the diagram found in the

chamber. Future replacement of the battery will

be simplified if the Battery Removal Ribbon (A)

is placed under and over the battery.

Even

if battery power is depleted, aligning the

Re-

lease Button Collar

with the orange dot will make it

possible to release the shutter at approximately

1/400 sec.

CAUTION:

sure

to match the poles of the battery with those

shown in the diagram in the chamber.

Carefully wipe the contacts of the battery before in-

serting it into the chamber. Failure to do so could result

poor

electrical contact and consequent erratic func-

tioning of the camera.

3. When not using the camera for a long period of

time, remove the battery and store it in a

dry,

cool

place.

4. Used batteries can be dangerous. Consequently,

when disposing of a battery. do

not

place it in a fire or

short circuit it.

5. Battery life

varies

considerably in accordance with

the following factors: battery, type, battery brand,

freshness of the battery when purchased, the condi-

tions under which the

battery

was stored before

purchase and is stored after purchase, temperature at

the time of use, whether the battery receives frequent

or intermittent use.

6. Silver oxide batteries have longer battery life than

alkaline batteries.

Attaching/Removing Lenses

Attaching

Lenses

Before attaching a lens to the camera body,

the mirror of the body must be set and the shut-

ter of the lens cocked.

(A) Setting the Mirror

1. Remove the Body Cap from the camera.

2. Make sure the mirror is set (lowered). If the

mirror is raised, lower it by pushing the Cocking

Lever as far as it will go toward the front of the

camera body.

(B) Cocking the Lens Shutter

Remove the Rear Lens Cap.

If the lens shutter is not cocked, firmly rotate

the Shutter Cocking Pins as far as they will go

(to the red dot). When releasing the pins, they

will return to the green dot and the shutter

blades will remain open.

Moving the Shutter Cocking Pins only as far as the

green dot will result in incomplete

shutter

cocking.

sure to rotate

them as far as the red dot.

Whenever a lens

removed

from the camera

body

it is already Cocked.

With the front of the lens facing you, rotate

the Bayonet Ring counterclockwise as far as it

will go (the white dot on the Bayonet Ring will

be aligned with the central index of the lens).

2. Seat the lens on the camera body with the

central index of the lens lined up with the red

Alignment Dot of the camera

body. Next,

rotate

the Bayonet Ring of the lens firmly in a

clockwise direction, securing the lens to the

camera body.

Focusing Hood Operation

Removing Lenses Raising the Focusing Hood

Push the Cocking Lever of the camera body

completely down, setting the mirror and

cock-

ing the lens shutter.

2. Rotate the Bayonet Ring of the lens coun-

terclockwise as far as it will go (white dot of

Bayonet Ring will align with central index of

lens) and remove lens.

Merely

lift

the back of the hood until it opens

completely.

l If you try to rotate the Bayonet Ring coun-

terclockwise without first depressing the Cock-

ing Lever of the camera body, the movement of

the ring will be interrupted, making it impossible

to remove the lens. This safety feature assures

that the mirror is always lowered whenever the

lens is removed, thereby assisting the Light

Baffle in shielding the film from light.

Raising the Magnifier Lowering the Magnifier

Folding the Focusing Hood

Slide the Magnifier Release slightly to the left

and the Magnifier will pop up into position.

Gently push the base plate of the Magnifier

all the way down until it locks in place. Afler lowering the Magnifier, gently squeeze

the right and left panels of the hood together

while closing it.

Releasing the Shutter

It is best to

become

acquainted with the

method of releasing the

shutter before using

film

in the camera.

Rotate the Release Button Col-

lar until the white dot on it is

aligned with the one

im-

mediately below (on the Collar

Stop Lever).

Remove the Dark Slide.

Set the R-M Lever to the

“M”

(multiple exposure) position.

Push the Cocking Lever all the

way down.

Press the Shutter Release But-

ton.

The first

steps can be done in any

order. After you are thoroughly famil-

iar with the above steps, return the RM

Lever to its normal setting (the center

position).

Using the Release Button Collar

1. For normal operation, align the white dot on

the Release Button Collar (A) with the white dot

on the lever below (B). When this is done, the

Shutter Release functions electromagnetically

and the various safety mechanisms operate

electrically.

When the camera is not in use, lock the Shut-

ter Release Button. This is done by aligning the

white dot of the Release Button Collar with the

red dot (C) on the camera body. By locking the

Shutter Release Button, you

not only prevent

un-

intentional exposure of film, but also prevent ac-

cidental battery drainage caused by pressure on

the Release Button. For this reason, be sure to

lock the Release Button when carrying the cam-

era in a bag.

l Emergency Shutter Operation

If you were to suddenly

find

yourself with a

dead battery in the midst of a photographic ses-

sion,

switch

over

the emergency Shutter oper-

ation mode. In order to do so, push the Collar

Stop Lever

(D)

toward the camera body and

while holding

it there align

the white dot of the Re-

lease Button Collar with the orange dot (E) on the

camera body. The shutter will now operate (even

without a battery) at approximately

1/400

sec.,

regardless of the setting of the Shutter Speed

Dial.

Because electricity is not being used in the

emergency shutter operation mode, the Monitor

Lamps in the viewfinder will not illuminate.

Moreover, even if the Dark Slide is not with-

drawn, the shutter can still be released, so exer-

cise

care.

The Normal Position

For normal operation of the camera, the R-M

Lever should be kept in the center position,

aligned with the index mark. Setting the lever to

this position activates the double exposure pre-

vention mechanism so that photo after photo can

be taken without fear of

accidental

double expo-

sures.

Multiple Exposure Position

When desiring to make deliberate double of

multiple exposures, set the R-M Lever to the

"M"

position. When this is done, pushing down on the

Cocking Lever will cock the lens shutter, but will

not advance the film. Upon completion of the

multiple exposure, do not forget lo

return

the R-M

Lever to its normal (center) position. The lever is

also set to ‘M’ when testing the shutter without

film in the camera.

Revolving Back Position

Before revolving the back

set the R-M Lever to

the

"R"R"

position. After this is done, the lever will

automatically return to the normal position when

the Shutter Release Button or Cocking Lever is

used.

[

Operating the Cocking Lever

When depressing the Cocking Lever, be sure to push it all the way for-

ward (toward the Shutter Release Button).

If the Cocking Lever

not pressed forward as far as it will go,

will re-

turn to its original position when released, but the shutter will not be

cocked. At such a time, the shutter will not operate and an orange warn-

ing lamp will illuminate in the viewfinder when the Shutter Release Button

is depressed.

Depressing the Cocking Lever advances the film, sets the

Light

Baffle

and mirror, and cocks the shutter.

Under the following circumstances an orange, red,

or green

lamp will il-

luminate

in the viewfinder when the Shutter Release

Button is depressed.

1. Cocking Lever Not Set (Orange

warning lamp)

the Cocking Lever has not been depressed or has been only partially

depressed, an orange warning lamp will illuminate in the viewfinder when

the Shutter Release Button is pressed,warning the user that the film has

not been advanced, the mirror not been set, and the shutter not been

cocked.

2. Dark

Slide in Holder

(Red warning lamp)

When attempting to take a photograph without removing the Dark Slide

from the Film Holder, the Shutter Release Button will lock and a red warn-

ing lamp acts as a reminder to withdraw the Dark Slide.

Mamiyalite Charged

(Green signal lamp)

When a Mamiyalite ZE, MZ 18

or MZ 36

is connected to the

Hot-

Shoe and fully charged, a green lamp will illuminate upon pressing the

Shutter Release Button halfway, indicating that the flash unit is ready to

fire.

Battery

Check

To check the condition of the battery, insert the Dark Slide into the Film

Holder and depress the Shutter Release Button; the red warning lamp

should illuminate with a steady glow. If the red lamp flickers, it indicates

that battery voltage is low and the battey should be replaced as soon as

possible.

Shutter Speed and Aperture

The Shutter Speed Dial

Select the shutter speed desired and rotate

the Shutter Speed Dial until the appropriate fi-

gure is aligned with the shutter speed index

mark.

The Shutter

Speed

Dial must be set to a

click-stop position and can not be used at

in-be-

tween settings.

The numerals as they appear on the dial and

the shutter speeds they represent are shown in

the following table.

When the Shutter Speed Dial is set to “B”

(bulb). the shutter will remain open as long as

pressure is applied to the Shutter Release But-

ton and will close as soon as pressure is re-

leased.

The

mark which appears between “B”

and 400 on the Shutter Speed Dial is the setting

for the AE Finder (which will be available in the

future). When set at this position. the dial locks

in place. To unlock it, rotate the dial while de-

pressing the Lock Release Button which ap-

pears in the center of the dial.

The Aperture Ring

To set the diaphragm to a desired aperture,

rotate the Aperture Ring until the appropriate fi-

gure is aligned with the central index line. It is

perfectly acceptable to use the Aperture Ring at

in-between click-stop settings.

When the Shutter Release

Button

is de-

pressed, the diaphragm will automatically stop

down to the preselected aperture before the

shuner opens for the exposure.

Focusing and Locking the Focusing Knob

Focusing

Depressing the Cocking Lever sets the mir-

ror. projecting a bright image on the focusing

screen. Focus by rotating to-and-fro either of

the two Focusing Knobs until the image ap-

pears sharp.

Locking the Focusing Knob

After adjusting the focus, focusing deviation

can

prevented by locking the Focusing Knob

with the Focusing Knob Lock Lever, which is

found at the rear of the left-hand Focusing

Knob. Simply raise the lever and push it for-

ward. clamping the Focusing Knob in place.

When working with wide-angle lenses, the

lens can be

prefocused

at the

hyperfocal

dis-

tance, and the knob locked with the Focusing

Knob Lock Lever so that snap-shots can freely

be taken without the need of focusing. Exam-

ples of other occasions on which the lock lever

will prove useful include when copying, engag-

ing in

macrophotography, or

using telephoto

lenses.

The Revolving Back

The Vertical and Horizontal Formats

Before attempting to revolve the back, set

the R-M Lever to

“R”

To change from horizon-

tal to vertical format, rotate the Film Holder

clockwise as far as it will go. Rotating it counter-

clockwise, changes the format from vertical

back to horizontal.

Be sure to

rotate

the

Film Holder

gently, as undue

use of force can result in damage to the camera.

The R-M Lever will automatically return from “R” to

its normal

position

upon depressing the Cocking

Lever or Shutter Release

Button. However

, as long as

the R-M Lever remains at the

“R”

setting,

the Film Hol-

der can

inadvertently

be moved of-center. Con-

sequently, we recommend manually returning the

lever to its normal position (center index mark) im-

mediately after revolving the back.

Change in Viewfinder Format

As the revolving back is rotated. the viewfinder format automatically changes

from horizontal to vertical, or vice versa. This is accomplished by viewfinder

masks which are coupled to the revolving back.

Additionally, when viewed from the top, a small rectangle appears at the upper

edge of the Film Holder. Visible at a glance, this rectangle acts as a reminder, indi-

cating whether the holder has been set for the vertical or horizontal format.

The Roll Film Holder

Attaching the Holder

Remove the rear body cap by sliding it up-

wards.

CAUTION: Do not touch the Light Baffle or

mir-

ror.

Touching the Baffle could result in a light leak

or malfunction.

Slide the Holder Lock Lever of the Film Hol-

der completely toward the Lock Release Lever

(A).

2. Align the orange circle (B) of the Revolving

Ring (found at the rear of the camera) with one

of the two

white

index marks on the camera

body.

Hold the Film Holder so that its orange circle

is at the same position as the one on the

Re-

volving

Ring (B) and

fit

the

4. Insert the Dark Slide into the Roll Film Hol-

der. For instant recognition, the Dark Slide Slot

bordered by white reference lines.

The Film Holder can be removed after mov-

ing the Holder Lock Lever as far as it will go to-

ward the Lock Release Lever (A). It is recom-

mended that you remove the holder on a table

or similar support, or in your lap, to avoid the

possibility of dropping the

holder or

having it fall

off the camera.

If you attempt to remove the holder without replac-

ing the Dark

Slide,

the Holder Lock

Lever

will

automat-

tically

lock in place. preventing accidental removal of

the holder and exposure of the film.

However, if you must remove the holder without the

Dark

Slide

in place. the automatic lock can

be overrid

den by pulling

the

Lock Release Lever toward the Hol-

der Lock Lever, holding the

lever

there, and then mov-

ing the Lock Lever.

1. Pull out the upper and lower Back Cover

Latches and the back cover will open.

Because of the double safety lock, pulling out

just one of the two Back Cover Latches will not

open the back cover.

After opening the back cover of

the Roll

Film Holder,

remove the Film Insert. When loading film, it

is not

necessary to remove the holder from the

camera

back.

When loading film, avoid direct sunlight, either load-

ing the film in the shade or

3. After feeding the tip of the backing paper

into the slot of the Take-up Spool.

Gently wind the Film Advance Knob until the

arrow of the backing paper aligns with the insert

Advancing the Film

Before attempting to advance the film to the

first frame, make sure the R-M Lever is set to its

normal (center) position. If the lever is set to ‘M

(multiple exposure), it will not be possible to ad-

vance the film with the Cocking Lever.

Taking Photographs

The film can be advanced in

either

of two

ways.

A) By winding the Film Advance Knob of the

Film

Insert

until

stops.

B) By pressing the Cocking Lever of the cam-

era body several times, until it stops. (The lens

shutter

will

not be cocked unless the Cocking

Lever is consecutively pressed until it stops.)

When the film is completely advanced, the

numeral

‘1’

will

appear in the Exposure Counter

and the red, film-unadvanced warning will dis-

appear.

While advancing the film from

(start) to 1

with the Cocking Lever, the shutter releasing

mechanism

is automatically locked

until the film

is fully advanced to frame

After removing the Dark Slide and releasing

the shutter, the red warning mark will reappear

in the Exposure Counter, indicating that the ex-

posure has been made and the camera needs

to be set for the next exposure.

When the film is advanced to the next frame,

the numeral in the Exposure Counter will au-

tomatically change and the red mark will disap-

pear.

Operate the Cocking Lever gently. If if is

pressed very rapidly, the spacing

between

frames may not be uniform.

After an exposure is made, the automatic dou-

ble exposure prevention mechanism will make

impossible to release the shutter until

the

film

is advanced.

After completing the last exposure, press the

Cocking Lever several times, until the film and

backing paper is completely

wound

onto

the

Take-up Spool. Instead of using the Cocking

Lever, you can use the

Film

Advance Knob of

the Film Insert, if you prefer.

Unloading the Film

Open the back cover of the Film Holder and

remove the Film Insert.

2. While holding down the right-hand Spool

Release Pin, remove the film, exercising care

that the backing paper does not unroll or be-

come loose.

3. In preparation for the future, remove the

empty spool from the

Film

Insert, replacing it on

the right-hand side so that it will act as the new

Take-up Spool.

When the back cover of the holder is opened,

the Exposure Counter will automatically return

to "S" (Start).

If anything other than

‘s’

appears

in the Exposure

Counter,

indicates

that there is film in the holder. To

prevent accidental exposure of the

film

to light, always

check the Exposure Counter before opening the back

cover of the

holder.

When desiring to turn in for processing a roll

of film that has been only partially exposed, first

remove the holder after inserting the Dark

Slide. Next, while holding in the pin in thecenter

of the coupler(A), completely

wind

the

film

onto

the Take-up Spool with the Film Advance

Knob. Instead of

continuously

holding in the

coupler

you can push it in once after each

frame, if preferred.

During exposures, the Dark Slide can be

stored in the Dark Slide Slot in the back of the

holder.

The Memo Clip on the back cover can be

used

for

holding

der or for holding a piece of paper with special

Distance Scale Depth-of-Field

The Distance Scale is used to determine the

film-plane-to-subject distance. The scale itself

composed

of two parts, the Distance Gradu-

ation and Focal Length Scale.

After focusing, the

correct

distance can be

determined by

locating

the point at which the

curved line for the focal length in use intersects

the Distance Graduation.

For example, tithe

110mm

lens is mounted

on the camera and focused as shown in the il-

lustration, the subject is

1.5m

(5 ft) from the film

plane.

Depth-of-Field Preview Using the Depth-of-Field Scale

Set the Aperture Ring to the desired f-stop

and focus the lens.

2. Depress the Depth-of-Field Preview Lever

of the lens and you will be able to check the

depth-of-field directly on the focusing screen.

Check the camera-to-subject distance on

the Distance Scale.

2. Rotate the Lens Distance Scale Knob until

the previously noted camera-to-subject dis-

tance is aligned

with

the center index of the

Depth-of-Field Scale.

3. Locate the selected aperture on both sides

of the Depth-of-Field Scale.

4. The figures of the Lens Distance Scale, ap-

pearing above the selected aperture, indicate

the nearest and furthermost limits of sharpness

for that aperture.

For example, when the

110 mm

lens is

fo-

cused

at 3m and stopped down to f/32, every-

thing from approximately 2m to

10m

will be in

focus.

When desiring to know the depth-of-field in

feet, rotate the Lens Distance Scale

180”,as

one side is in feet and the other in meters.

Close-up Photography

Exposure

Compensation

for Close-up Photography Area Covered with Bellows fully Extended

When working very close to the subject, the

exposure must be increased. The actual expo-

sure factor will vary in accordance with the dis-

tance that the lens is extended. This is simply

because the brightness of the image

striking

the film grows increasingly dimmer as the lens

is progressively moved further from the film

plane.

Exposure compensation is easily deter-

mined by referring

the

Exposure Compensa-

tion Scale.

1. After focusing the lens, read the exposure

compensation factor on the scale. The scale is

divided into three zones of light, medium, and

dark shades. As indicated by the table at the

base of the scale, the light zone represents an

exposure factor of zero (no compensation is

necessary), the medium shaded zone indi-

cates

+0.5

1/2

stop increase in exposure is

required), and the dark zone denotes a factor of

(a full stop increase in exposure is neces-

sary).

To find the exposure factor, first locate the fi-

gure on the Focal Length Scale for the lens in

use. Next, move along the scale, in the same

column, until you reach the Distance Gradua-

tion. The shading of the zone (light, medium,

dark) which touches the Distance Graduation

indicates the correct exposure factor. For

example, when the

110mm

lens is focused as

shown in the illustration, the correct exposure

factor is +

2. Compensate the exposure by changing

either the shutter speed or aperture. When the

exposure factor is

+1,

either open the aperture

or lengthen the shutter speed by a full stop.

With a factor of +0.5, open the aperture by a

half-stop. For example, assume that a hand-

held exposure meter indicates a normal expo-

sure reading of

f/16

1/60

sec., for exposure

compensation of + 1, set the lens to either

f/16

1/30

sec. or

f/1

1 at 1/60 sec.

When using a finder with a built-in meter,

such as the PD Prism Finder, there is no need

to compensate for close-up photography.

For optimum clarity at

the corners when using the

50mm

and

65mm

wide-angle lenses at

distances

closer

than 1 meter, use as

small an aperture as pos-

sible.

The bellows extension in millimeters appears on

the top of the Focal Length Scale. These figures are

used to determine the required exposure compensa-

tion factor when using extension tubes.

Using a Tripod Long Exposures

For optimum quality, use of a large, sturdy

tripod is recommended.

1. The Tripod Socket will accept standard size

1/4" thread)

tripod screws without

modifica-

lion. Simply attach the RZ 67 as you would any

other camera with standard threads.

2. When using a tripod with a

3/8” screw, first

remove the small screw in the base of the

Tripod Socket of the camera by rotating it coun-

terclockwise with an appropriate screwdriver.

Next, use a coin to remove the

1/4”

adapter (A)

from the Tripod Socket by rotating it counter-

clockwise. The camera can then be mounted

on a

3/8"

screw tripod.

Bulb (B) Exposures

When the Shutter Speed

Dial

is set to B, the

shutter will remain open as long as the Shutter

Release Button remains depressed. Since bulb

exposure is also controlled electronically, the

shutter will automatically close after approxi-

mately one minute in order to prevent inadver-

tent battery depletion. When using bulb, if the

Shutter Release Button is depressed for ap-

proximately 50 seconds, a warning buzzer will

sound. If pressure on the Release Button is

maintained, the buzzer will continue for about

seconds longer, after which the electricity

will be automatically extinguished and the shut-

ter will close. When desiring to take exposures

of longer than one minute, use time exposures.

When using bulb, if pressure is released from the

Shutter Release Button too quickly (before the mirror

completes its upward travel), the shutter may remain

open. To

correct this situation,

press

the Shutter

Re-

lease Button once again, upon releasing pressure the

shutter will close. If you do not

correct

the situation

yourself. the

buzzer

will sound after approximately 50

seconds, 10 seconds the buzzer will stop and the

shutter close.

Mirror-up Operation

Time Exposures

To make a time exposure,

first

slide the T

Lever of the lens until the letter

"T"

is exposed.

After doing so, the shutter will remain open

upon depressing the Shutter Release Button.

At this time, the setting of the Shutter Speed

Dial on the camera body is inconsequential.

2. To close the shutter, slide the T Lever in the

opposite direction, exposing the letter ‘N’ (nor-

mal). During time exposures, do not touch the

Cocking Lever until the shutter closes.

Since the shutter operates mechanically, not

electronically,

during

a time exposure, there is

virtually no expenditure of battery power, and

the length of time the shutter remains open is

insignificant.

With the RZ 67, it is possible to lock the

mirror

the up position beforehand, and at the de-

sired instant release the shutter without the

usual accompanying mirror movement.

Referred to as,

“mirror-up

operation,” this

technique is extremely valuable when desiring

to eliminate even

the slightest mirror shock.

Be-

cause the mirror normally rises and causes vib-

rations the very instant before the shutter

opens, a loss of sharpness is possible when

working at high magnifications or with long

shutter speeds. Consequently, mirror-up oper-

ation is especially useful when engaging in

close-up photography, using telephoto lenses,

and making long

(“slow")

exposures. Yet

another application is when trying to catch the

peak of

action.

By raising the mirror be-

forehand, the shutter can instantly be released,

totally eliminating the time lag usually present

between the time the mirror completes its up-

ward swing and the time the shutter opens.

After screwing a cable release firmly

into

the Mirror-up Socket of the lens, the socket

will

elevate slightly and the camera will be ready for

mirror-up

operation.

2. Press the Cocking Lever as far as it will go.

Step 2 may either follow or precede step

3. Depress the Shutter Release Button. The

mirror will rise, but the shutter will

remain

closed.

4. Press the plunger of the cable release and

the shutter will operate.

5. When you no longer need mirror-up opera-

tion, remove the cable release.

Upon removing the cable release, the

,Mir-

ror-up Socket will retract and the camera will

return to normal shutter operation.

Multiple Exposures

you complete step 3 above, but remove the cable re-

lease without making an exposure (step 4), the shutter

will be released as soon as the cable release is re-

moved.

Even when using mirror-up operation,

everytime

the shutter is cocked, the mirror is

relowered.

There-

fore,

is possible to check the

viewfinder

before each

frame is exposed.

A convenient

double

cable release is available as

accesory.

Since one end of the release screws into

the

Shutter

Release Button and the other end into the

Mirro-up Socket, if is possible to use the same release

to raise the mirror and later release the shutter.

CAUTION

As long as a cable release remains attached to the

Mirror-up Socket, it is possible to use the same re-

lease to raise the mirror and later release the shutter.

Photograph by merely pressing the Shutter Release

Button.

lf the red line around the Mirror-up Socket

is still visi-

ble when the cable release

removed, the camera is

still set for mirror-up operation. If such is the case,

reattach the cable release, making sure that the soc-

ket retracts as you remove it once again.

The shutter should be released with the cable re-

lease within 50 seconds of pressing the Shutter Re-

lease Button. If this is not done, the buzzer

will

sound

after 50 seconds and

continue

for

seconds before

stopping.

. If

you

release the shutter with the cable release after

the buzzer stops, the shutter speed will be

1/400

sec.

If you wish to use a shutter speed other than

1/400

sec. after the buzzer stops, follow the procedure for

multiple exposure.

Using Bulb with Mirror-up Operation

1. Attach cable release to Mirror-up Socket.

2. Set the Shutter Speed Dial to B

Press the Shutter Release Button (mirror rises).

Press plunger of cable release (shutter opens).

5. Press Shutter Release Button (shutter closes).

1. Set the R-M Lever to

‘M’

(multiple expo-

sure). The lever can be moved to ‘M’ either be-

fore or after releasing the shutter.

2. Press the Cocking Lever as far as it will go

in order to cock the shutter and set the mirror.

The film will not move at this time. The shutter

can now be released, creating a double expo-

sure. This procedure can be repeated as often

as desired.

When photographing the same

subject

2 or

times exposure compensation is necessary. The

same is true with different

subjects

that are all evenly

illuminated.

With

subjects of

different

brightness, the

darker one is

normally

photographed first. However, it

is not within the scope of this

operating

manual to

teach multiple exposure technique, as many excellent

books dealing with this

subject

are already

available.

After completing your

multiple

exposure, im-

mediately replace the R-M Lever to its normal pos-

tion. If this is not done, the shutter may later be re-

leased mistakenly, not only

ruining

the

multlple

expo-

sure, but also ruining the additional exposure.

Flash Photography

Attaching Flash Units

Compact, clip-on units can be attached di-

rectly to the Hot-Shoe of the camera.

When using large, grip-type units, attach the

sync cord to the flash to the Flash Sync Termi-

nal

(X-sync) of the lens.

When using the Mamiyalite

ZE,

MZ 18 R, or

36 R, and pressing the Shutter Release

Button halfway, the green monitor

lamp

in the

viewfinder will illuminate if the flash is fully

charged and ready to fire. When using Mamiya

flash units, two units can be fired simultane-

ously by connecting one unit to the Hot-Shoe

and the other to the Sync Terminal.

However, if the same procedure were fol-

lowed with flash units of other makes, damage

may result to the camera or flash units. There-

fore, if using flash

units

of other makes, be sure

to use only one at time (unless others are fired

by slave units).

Determining the Aperture

When using automatic flash units, refer to the

instructions of the flash unit for the correct aper-

tures to use.

When using a manual electronic flash unit or

flash bulbs, the guide number divided by the

subject distance gives the correct aperture to

use.

small an aperture as possible.

2. Mirror-up operation is recommended for optimum

results.

3. When

using

a finder

How to Use the Carrying Strap

Attaching the Strap

Hold the metal clamp of the strap

so that the key-hole shaped open-

ing faces the Carrying Strap Lug on

the camera body. Gently fit the

upper

part

of the key-hole opening

over the lug. Next, gently push the

bottom of the metal clamp upwards

and it will lock in place with a click.

If the clamp is attached to the

Hot-

Shoe side of the camera

upside-

down,

will be difficult to remove,

be careful to attach the clamp

right-

side-up.

Removing the Strap

Reach behind the strap and while

gently squeezing the top of the

pro-

truding

front plate (leaf spring), slide

the clamp downward and off the lug.

Three Carrying Positions

Depending upon the way the

strap is attached to the camera.

there are three ways of carrying the

camera as shown in the accom-

panying illustrations. Since the Car-

rying Strap Lug is not rotary, the

car-

rying

strap will not become twisted.

Interchanging Magnifier/ Focusing Hood/Focusing Screen

Magnifier Focusing Hood

The Magnifier of the Focusing Hood is inter-

changeable. In addition to the standard

1.3

diopter) magnifier, the following diopter lenses

are also available: +1

0, -1, -2, -3.

To remove the Magnifier, gently squeeze the

sides of the Focusing Hood, preventing the

Magnifier Base Plate from moving, rotate the

Magnifier counter-clockwise and remove.

Removing the Focusing Hood

To remove the Focusing Hood, merely

squeeze both Focusing Hood Lock Buttons to-

ward each other and lift the hood off the cam-

era.

Attaching the Hood

To attach the hood, slide the Focusing Hood

Catches into the groove of the camera body,

and while holding in both Focusing Hood Lock

Buttons, seat the front of the hood on the cam-

era body. The hood will lock in place after re-

leasing pressure from the Lock Buttons.

Focusing Screens

There are seven instantly interchangeable

focusing screens to choose from, each de-

signed for specific applications.

Removing a Focusing Screen

After removing the focusing hood, lift up and

remove the screen by grasping the lug on the

right-hand side (as viewed from the

back of

the

camera). To replace a screen, gently lower the

left-hand side of the screen (as seen from the

camera back), followed by the right-hand side,

and

lightly

snap screen into place.

CAUTION

When removing screens, exercise care not to touch

the vertical and horizontal

format viewfinder mask.

Shutter

Speed Selection

When a

RB67

lens is mounted on the RZ67 body, use the Shutter

Speed Ring of the lens for shutter speed selection. The setting of the

camera body Shutter Speed Dial is inconsequential.

The shutter is cocked and released in the same manner as RZ series

lenses.

Film Holders

Follow the procedure outlined below in order to use RB series (G-Lock

System) holders on the

RZ67.

1. Attach G Adapter RZ to the back of the

RZ67.

Set the R-M Lever of the camera body to “M”. If the lever is set to its

normal position (the central index mark), the shutter will not release.

3. Advance the film with the Film Advance Lever of the Film Holder.

4. After releasing the shutter, slide the Film Wind-Stop Release Lever of

the holder to the left, freeing the film, and advance the film to the next

frame.

CAUTION:

The Film-Unadvanced Indicator (red bar appearing in the Exposure

Counter window) comes into view after the Film Wind-Stop Release

Lever is moved.

The double exposure prevention mechanism does not operate when

a Pro-S Roll Film Holder is used on the

RZ67

body, so do not forget to ad-

vance the film immediately after releasing the shutter.

Even if a Dark Slide is not inserted into a Pro-S Roll Film Holder, it can

still be removed from an RZ67 camera body. Therefore, when desiring to

remove a holder containing a partially exposed roll of film, be sure to first

insert the Dark

Slide.

The Shutter Release Button of the

RZ67

will not lock automatically,

nor will the viewfinder red warning lamp illuminate

a Dark Slide remains

Slide before beginning a picture-taking session.

Troubleshooting

NXK3

Finders

When using the

series CdS Finder or CdS Prim Finder on a

RZ67

body, be sure the Electrical Contact Cover is in place, for it is used to de-

press the switch at the base of the finder.

The Lens Speed Scale of either of the above finders does not have pro-

vision for a lens faster than

f/3.8;

therefore, when using the

Mamiya-

Sekor Z 110mm f/2.8 lens, follow the procedure indicated below.

Set the Lens Speed Scale to 3.5.

Next, set the Film Speed Dial of the finder to

1/2

the actual film speed.

For example, when using 100 ASA

(ISO)

film, set the dial to 50.

Uniquely designed to prevent errors, the

RZ67

incorporates

numerous safety features, so if you can not release the shutter,

or remove a

lens or holder,

it is most likely

due

to user error rather

than a camera malfunction. Should something appear to go

wrong, be sure to check the following points.

When the shutter can not be released

1. Has the film been completely advanced to the first frame?

Have all the exposures already been made (10 with 120, 20 with

220)?

Has the Cocking Lever been advanced as far as it will go?

3. Has the Dark Slide been removed?

4. Have you locked the Shutter Release Button and forgotten?

5. Is there a battery in the Battery Chamber’? Is the battery still

good?

In the case of examples

1-3,

an orange lamp will illuminate in

the viewfinder if an error has been made.

When the lens can not be removed

Have you pressed the Cocking Lever completely forward?

When the Film Holder can not be removed

Have you inserted the Dark Slide into the holder?

Care of the Camera

When not used for a long period of time, remove the battery and any

film from the camera. Do not store the camera at temperatures exceeding

40°C or below -10°C. Also avoid storing the camera in a damp or salty

area.

As your camera is a precision instrument, avoid exposing it to severe

vibrations or shocks. When handholding your camera always use a neck

strap and exercise extreme caution when removing a lens or Film Holder.

Prolonged disuse does not lengthen camera life, but shortens it. Thus,

when storing a camera for a long time, periodically remove the camera

and release the shutter several times to keep the camera in good condi-

tion.

Cleaning

Do not touch the lens or mirror surfaces. If a lens needs cleaning, use a

blower or lens tissue to remove dust particles. Never use anything other

than a blower for the mirror, as its surface should never be touched.

Periodic Check

Periodically check the camera to make sure it is in working order. This

is especially important before beginning a photographic session or as-

signment. Check the battery, flash synchronization, mirror and shutter

operation, diaphragm automation, and film advance. Also check any ac-

cessories you plan to use.

For a general overhaul, cleaning, or minor repair, take the camera to

your nearest authorized Mamiya Service Center or see your camera

shop for advice.
