Specifications

The new Mamiya 6 features an X synchro
flash terminal and its lens shutter system
permits flash synchronization at all shutter
speeds.
Shoe-mounted flash units can be attached
directly to the hot-shoe, while flash brackets
can be attached to the tripod socket for
larger flash guns.
Remove safety cover (A) to attach sync
cord in the socket.
[Determining the aperture]
When using automatic flash units, refer to
the instructions on the flash unit for correct
aperture settings.
When using a manual electronic flash, the
guide number divided by subject distance
gives the correct aperture.
Guide number (46)
= Correct aperture
Subject distance (6 m)
setting (8)
t Charged electronic flash units sometimes fire
when they are attached to the camera. This does
not indicate a defective circuit.
l When using electronic flash, be sure to read its
manual carefully.
When using infrared film, it is necessary to
make a focusing adjustment in order to
achieve accurate focus. This is because the
focus position of the image deviates from
normal since the infrared ray wavelength is
longer. After focusing in the usual manner,
check the distance on the distance scale
that is aligned with the center reference
mark of the lens. Make the focusing adjust-
ment by turning the focusing ring in the
direction of the arrow in the accompanying
photograph so that the distance just
observed is aligned with the infrared mark.
