[Neck strap]
If the batteries have been depleted - espe-
cially when the power on-off lever has been
set to the
OFF position during long expo-
sures (at
"B" ; 4 seconds or 2 seconds) -
the winding-stop prevents the film from
being wound.
If this happens, push the emergency ad-
vance/stop release button with a pen or
other pointed object as shown above. The
advance/stop is then released, allowing the
film to be wound. Please note that that par-
ticular frame will be poorly exposed.
l When the batteries have been depleted,
immediately replace them.
l The emergency winding-stop release button
should not be used for any other purposes.
Since the New Mamiya 6 has a 6 x 6 for-
mat, it is not necessary to adjust for vertical
and horizontal composition. Because most
out of focus pictures are the result of camera
movement, make sure not to move when
pressing the shutter button. Hold the camera
with your elbows close to your body: pres-
sing
part of the camera on your forehead
will help stabilize it. Then gently release the
shutter.
When making exposures longer than 1/30
sec., it is advisable to use a tripod with a
cable release.
Pass the neck strap through the
carrying strap lug, and fasten it
as shown.
[Using a tripod]
When using the camera with a large tripod
head, the head may interfere with the spood
stud, preventing film from being loaded. To
prevent this, use the optional tripod adapter
for the M645 Super.
*The threaded tripod screw hole is 5.5mm deep
and the use of a longer tripod screw might result in
the damage or breakage of internal working parts.
So be careful not to apply unnecessary pressure
when mounting the camera.
