Automatic Flash Synch Speed Setting

In the shutter speed priority AE and manual operation mode:

1. The shutter speed is automatically set at a flash synch speed of 1/60 sec. after the flash unit has charged, even

though the dial is set for faster shutter speeds.

2. When the preselected shutter speed is slower than 1/60 sec., the exposure will be made at the speed in use. Use of

slower shutter speeds is useful for long exposures where additional exposure of the background is desired.

Keys to better flash photography

· If you release the shutter before the flash has charged, a non-flash exposure will be made at the exposure setting of

the preselected mode.

· Faster recharging is possible if you place your subject somewhat closer to you than the maximum distance indicated,

since the camera computes the light reflected from the subject so that the flash discharges only the amount of energy

that is required, saving the left-over energy for the next flash.

· The distance indications given in the viewfinder are based on the lens aperture scale and should be taken as

approximate only.

· Exposure compensation can be employed for flash by setting the exposure variation dial to the appropriate plus or

minus setting.

The Mamiyalite ZE differs from the Mamiyalite MZ, and the following

operational differences should be noted to ensure correct operation.

1. Only one of the two apertures indicated by the aperture scale on the back of

the unit should be used to make proper flash exposures.

2. Except for the "EF" flash ready indication, other viewfinder data is inaccurate

and should be disregarded.

3. The Crossover System does not function and the crossover switch should be

set to FIX.

4. With EF lenses, the focusing distance priority switch must also be set to OFF.

Precautions when using other flash units

Mamiya Camera will not be responsible for any damage caused to the camera by flash units other than Mamiya

products. The electrical contacts and input/output of non-Mamiya dedicated flash units, including high voltage trigger

outputs, may cause severe damage to your Mamiya camera.
