Mamiya 6 User Guide

Uniquely designed to prevent mistakes, the New Mamiya 6
incorporates numerous safety features.
If the shutter will not function, it is very likely due to user
error rather than camera malfunction. Should something

appear to go wrong, be sure to review the following points.

 Is the power on/off lever set to the ON position?

 Has the film been completely advanced to the  next

frame?

Have all the exposures already been made (12 with
120, 24 with 220)?

 Has the film advance lever been wound until it stops?

 Is the lens mount retracted?
 Is the light shield curtain closed?

(In the case of examples 

   

 the red LED will

flash a warning on the upper right side of the view-
finder.

 When the lens cannot be removed:

 Is the light shield curtain open?
 Is the lens mount retracted or stored in the body?

 Be sure to use new batteries.
 Expose the camera to cold air only when in use.

 Batteries which will not function at low temperatures may be used when

returned to use at normal temperatures.

Avoid quick heating or cooling as unstable voltage may result.

An automatic circuit  will signal battery depletion.
When the shutter release button is

 

touched slightly, an LED

blinks to indicate a suitable shutter speed. A few exposures can
be made, but replace the batteries as soon as possible.
When the batteries are depleted, the LED ceases to light and

the shutter cannot be released.

l 

Replace both batteries at the same time. Avoid using old

batteries with new ones, and avoid mixing different types

of batteries.

* When inserting batteries in the battery chamber, verify correct
polarity. If contaminated with oil, sweat or other foreign matter,
be sure to wipe clean with a dry cloth or lens tissue.
