assuring

the

photographer

of

finegrained,

superior

quality

image

definition

on

enlargements.

has

to

offer.

INSERTING

BATTERY

Use

one

of

the

battery

types

mentioned

below;

6V

Alkaline

battery

(4LR44,

A544)

6V

Silver-oxide

battery

(4SR44,544,

PX28)

•

If

the

shutter

is

operated

without

a

bat¬

tery

or

the

battery

is

installed

incorrectly,

the

safety

device

will

be

activated

and

the

mirror

will

stop

partway

up.

•

Insert

a

new

battery

when

the

mirror

is

in

the

normal

position,

not

when

it

is

part¬

way

up,

as

it

will

shorten

the

battery

life.

1.

Lift

up

the

crank

on

the

bottom

of

the

camera

and

turn

it

counterclockwise,

and

take

out

the

battery

case.

2.

Put

a

new

battery

into

the

battery

case

and

reinsert

the

battery

case

making

sure

that

the

(+)

and

(-)

marks

on

the

battery

cor¬

respond

with

the

{

-

I-

)

and

(-)

marks

inside

the

battery

chamber.

3.

To

secure

the

battery

case,

turn

the

crank

in

the

direction

of

the

arrow

until

the

red

dots

align.

3

Press

the

battery

check

button

at

the

back

of

the

camera.

If

the

battery

check

lamp

does

not

light,

the

battery

power

is

insufficient.

In

such

a

case,

replace

the

battery

immediately.

4

Press

the

safety

device

release

button

with

a

pointed

object,

and

press

the

shutter

button

for

one

blank

exposure.

The

mirror

will

then

return

to

its

original

down

position.

•

When

the

battery

power

becomes

insuffi¬

cient,

the

mirror

will

stop

partway

up

block¬

ing

the

viewfinder.

•

It

will

shorten

the

battery

life

if

the

battery

check

button

is

pressed

too

frequently.

•

The

shutter

may

work

for

a

while

even

if

the

battery

lamp

does

not

light.

However,

the

shutter

speeds

may

be

inaccurate.

•

Use

the

Alkaline

battery

(4LR44,

A544)

or

the

Silver-Oxide

battery

(4SR44,

544,

PX28)

aligning

the

polarities

correctly.

•

Always

keep

batteries

out

of

the

reach

of

children.

•

The

misuse

of

batteries

may

cause

hazards

such

as

leakage,

over

heating,

explosions,

etc.

•

To

prevent

explosion;

never

try

to

break

a

part,

never

recharge

the

battery,

never

throw

into

fire,

never

expose

to

excessive

heat.

•

The

Alkaline

battery

should

last

about

6

months,

while

the

Silver-Oxide

battery

about

one

year

with

average

use

at

normal

temperature.

However,

when

the

TTL

pen¬

taprism

is

used,

the

battery

will

last

less

as

it

also

activates

the

TTL

meter.

•

At

temperature

below

0°C

(32°F),

battery

performance

may

temporarily

decrease.

One

way

to

avoid

this

is

to

use

the

67

remote

battery

cord

(optional)

for

keeping

the

battery

warm

under

your

clothing.

•

Keep

a

spare

battery

on

hand

for

con¬

venience

when

shooting

outdoors

or

traveling.

•

Make

sure

to

remove

the

battery

when

the

camera

is

not

in

use

for

an

extended

period

of

time,

as

the

battery

may

deteriorate

and

cause

damage

to

the

contact

points.

5

INTERCHANGEABLE

FINDERS

There

are

four

types

of

interchangeable

finders

(Optional)

for

the

67

camera

as

mentioned

below;

Eyelevel

viewfinder:

O

TTL

Pentaprism

O

Pentaprism

Waist-level

viewfinder:

0

Rigid

Magnifying

Hood

O

Folding

Focusing

Hood

Grasp

the

finder

on

the

top

from

both

sides

and

fit

it

into

the

finder

mount

until

it

locks

in

place

with

a

click

heard

from

both

side

of

the

finder

mount.

Once

attached,

jiggle

it

back

and

forth

to

con¬

firm

that

it

is

securely

locked.

6

Press

the

lock

pins

on

both

sides

of

the

finder

and

lift

it

straight

up.

•

In

a

bright

environment,

film

may

be

accidentally

exposed

if

the

finder

is

detached

while

the

shutter

is

open

for

an

extended

period.

•

To

prevent

an

accidental

exposure,

protect

the

finder

eyepiece

from

strong

light

such

as

direct

sun

light.

With

the

TTL

pentaprism

or

Pentaprism,

approximately

90%

of

the

total

area

is

visible.

With

the

Rigid

Magnifying

hood

or

Folding

focusing

hood,

100%

of

the

image

area

is

visible,

but

the

image

is

laterally

reversed.

The

67

camera

accommodates

two

types

of

film:

120

type

(10

exposures)

and

220

type

(20

exposures).

Whenever

changing

film

types,

the

following

two

adjustments

must

be

made.

The

plate

the

120

type

and

220

type

(120

type:

With

back

paper,

220

type:

Without
