,, +-s

l::.,;n

tr'-.

*$
F'
$
The Mamiya ZE is equipped with a special device for
obtaining correct exposure not only with backlighting,
but any other difficult lighting situation as well. And
this device is called the AE Lock.
Just press the shutter mode selector lock button (B)
and rotate the selector to the "AE LOCK" position.
When the shutter release button is lightly pressed the
camera locks in, or memorizes, the exposure reading
until the finger is removed from the release button.
To use the AE Lock function, move close to the
subject until the desired part of the subject covers the
center area of the viewfinder and lightly press the
shutter release button until the LED lights. Hold the
shutter release in this position and move back to the
place from where you want to photograph, compose
the picture and press the release button to make the
exposure. The subject will be correctly exposed even
under difficult light conditions.
If it is not possible to move close to the subject,
determine the exposure using the palm of the hand at
a distance of about 12" (30cm), or point the camera
so that sky or other bright areas are not included in
the viewfinder; then lock in the exposure value and
make the exposure as described above.
 [Link]
IncludeYourselfwith the Self-Timer 1
l. Move the self-timer lever counterclockwiseuntil it
stops. The film must be advancedbefore making the
exposure,but this can be done either before or after
the self-timer lever is set.
2. The self-timer is activated by pushing back the
self-timer lever slightly toward its original position.
The shutter will be releasedapproximatelyl0 seconds
later.
o Before making an exposure,remove the hot-shoe
cover (D) and place it over the viewfindereyepieceto
prevent extraneouslight enteringthe finder. Exposure
may not be correct unless the finder eyepiece is
covered.
o You can bypass the self-timer merely by pressing
the shutter releasebutton even after the self-timer
leverhasbeenset.

ExposureCompensationfor High-and Low-KeyEffects

,fl,,::

High- and low-key shots are also possible with the Mamiya ZE. High-key
shots have a bright, ethereal appearance while low-key shots are dark and
powerfully dramatic.
Excellent high-key effects can be obtained by overexposing one or two
steps. Low-key is possible with underexposure of one step, or made more
pronounced by two steps.
The exposure compensation dial lock (C) must be pressed to turn the
exposure compensation dial in either direction from the "0" position.
Click stops are provided for each step but intermediate settings are also
possible.
For high-key effects, the background should have flat, bright lighting 2 to
4 times brighter (l to 2 steps) than the subject. For low-key, only the
highlights should be 2 to 4 times brighter than the rest of the subject for
best results.
After finishing taking photographs using exposure compensation, be sure
to return the dial to the "0" position. The dial locks at this position to
prevent errors.
Flash Photography Made Easy
l. Attach the Mamiyahte ZE auto electronic flash to the hot-shoe of the
camera.A sync-cordis not required.
2. Set the shuttermode selectorto the LOCK" posi-
tion.
3" The Mamiyalite 7E will be fully charged a fe\'., seconds after the
switch is turned on. If you lightly press the shutter release button while
the flash unit is charging, the LED dispaly will shift from the strutter
speed for natural light conditions to 1/60 sec. as soon as the flash is fully
charged.
4. Set the lens to the aperture indicated by the flash and start taking
photographs as explained in detail on the Mamiyalite ZE instructions-.
The flash intensity is automatically controlled in accordance with the
distance to the subject. Two apertures are available for different flash
ranges.
This is a series control type automatic electronic flash so energy is saved
at close distances. This results in shorter recycle times and longer battery
life.
o When using flash units other than the Mamiyalite ZE, set the shutter
mode selector to the "X" position. The shutter speed will be 1/90 sec. in
this case.
o When using flash units that cannot be mounted on the hot-shoe,
connect the sync-cord to the sync-cord terminal of the camera.

Effortless Film Advance with Mamiya Winder ZE
Mounting the Mamiya Winder ZE on the camera eliminates the need to
advance film manually. Photographic opportunities can be captured more
easily because there is no need to take the eye away from the viewfinder
for film advance.
Continuous sequence photography is possible at the rate of
approximately 2 frames per second by merely holding down the shutter
release button.
When the camera is used with the Mamiya Winder ZE while set at
"A{JTO",
each frame will be correctly exposed even if light conditions
change. AE Lock operation is also possible. In this case, however, any
single sequence of photographs will all be exposed at the value deter-
mined by the camera for the first frame. Use only as required.
Single frame photography is easy by simply removing the finger from the
shutter release after each shot.

B (bulb)for Long Exposures

Set the shutter mode selector at the "B" (bulb) for exposures longer than
1 second. At this position the shutter will remain open as long as the
shutter release button is held down. The use of a cable release and tripod
is recommended to prevent camera shake. The camera operates at the
"B" position
even if the batteries are dead.
 GontrollingDepth-of-Field
When the camera is focused on a subject, a certain distance in front and
back of the subject is also in relatively sharp focus. This is called the
depth-of-field and increases as the lens aperture is stopped down while it
decreasesas the lens is opened up to larger apertures.
4 5.6I 1l 16 o To render a background in sharp focus, or to allow snap-shooting without
the bother of pinpoint focusing, the lens can be stopped down to increase
the depth-of-focus. Opening up the lens aperture appropriately enables a
subject to be rendered in sharp detail against a purposely blurred
Depth-of-field background or foreground.
Stopped-down aperture k------------N
The depth-of-field range can be determined using the depth-of-field scale
of the camela lens. Once the desired aperture is selected, the corre-
sponding figures on both sides of the center index mark indicate the
depth-of-field for that aperture on the distance scale.
For example, if the camera is focused at 15ft (5m) at an aperture of f/l1,
the range from approximately l0ft (3m) to 30ft (l0m) will also be in

- l
sharp focus.

Infrared Photography
The red dot (or red line) to the right of the center index fnark of the lens
is the infrared mark. This mark is provided because focusing when using
black and white infrared film differs than with ordinary films.
Compensation must be applied as explained below.
1. First focus the camera as for normal photography; then read the
distance indicated by the center index mark and move this value to the
infrared mark position.
2. A rcd filter should also be used with infrared film so refer to the film
instructions concerning exposure.
o There is no need for focus compensation when using color infrared
films. Use the filters recommended in the film instructions.
