Mamiya PRO 645 - Manual (Page 2)

Congratulations on your purchase of the Mamiya 645 PRO
Mamiya pioneered the 6x4.5 film format and introduced the world’s first 645
SLR in 1975. The 645 PRO is the latest masterpiece in this series and
incorporates all the latest mechanical, electronic and optical advances. Its
external appearance, too, has been modernized and its ergonomic design
further enhanced.
We are sure that you will enjoy the many advantages this camera and its
accessories offer and want to particularly mention:
The 645 PRO has a built-in self-timer (delayed shutter release) which will also
facilitate time exposures. Attaching special leaf shutter lenses will automati-
cally set the focal plane shutter to 1/8 sec. Heavy duty gears connect to the
improved Power Drive Grip WG401. This grip also automatically cocks the leaf
shutter lenses and permits remote control.
The AE Prism Finder FE401, specially created for this camera, automates
exposure and shows LED safety signals. 35mm film holders now come with
panoramic adapters. A super fast 300mm f/2.8 APO lens was also designed
for this camera.
We are convinced that your camera will serve you well, because we have
designed it for heavy professional use. However, we ask you to please read
all operating instructions carefully before you put your equipment to work, in
order to ensure proper operation and maximum results.
This manual covers the
basic camera. Sepa-
rate instructions are
supplied with all sys-
tem accessories, in-
cluding lenses,finders,
film holders, etc.
