H 10 M645 Getting Started

Mounting the H 10 M645 on the Mamiya 645AFD
The H 10 M645 is fully integrated with the camera house
and acts as a true part of the whole camera system.
When no cassette is attached to the Mamiya 645 AF camera
house the mirror is up and the shutter is open. This is the
correct position, when no film cassette is attached.
When attaching the M645 to the camera house, the shutter
will close and the mirror comes down.
It is important to ensure that the bottom part of the H 10
M645 camera back is pressed well into the locking mecha-
nism before the upper locking mechanism is pressed to-
gether. Failure to do this can in some circumstances bring
the Mamiya camera house in an error state of continuos
opening and closing the shutter. (The same procedure is rec-
ommended for all film cassettes).
In case this error appears you simply have to remove the H
10 M645. Notice if the shutter is in the closed position, at-
tach and remove the H 10 to make sure that the camera
house gets in the correct starting position.
To avoid that the H 10 is released by mistake from the cam-
era house, you can use the enclosed screwdriver to lock the
H 10 M645 locking mechanism.
