Troubleshooting

Uniquely designed to prevent errors, the RZ67 incorpo- rates numerous safety features, so if you can not release the shutter, or remove a lens or holder, it is most likely due to user error rather than a camera malfunction. Should something appear to go wrong, be sure to check the following points.

When the Film Holder can not be removed

Have you inserted the Dark Slide into the holder?

When the shutter can not be released

1.Has the film been completely advanced to the first frame? Have all the exposures already been made (10 with 120, 20 with 220)?

2.Has the Cocking Lever been advanced as far as it will go?

3.Has the Dark Slide been removed?

4.Have you locked the Shutter Release Button and forgotten?

5.Is there a battery in the Battery Chamber? Is the battery still good?

6.Is the "T" lever of the lens on "N"?

7.Is the camera speed dial on RBL and a RZ lens is on camera? 8.Is the camera speed dial on AEF and the AE Finder and a RZ lens

is not attached?

9.Have you used the mirror -up mode and red ring on the collar is still visible after removing the cable release?

• In the case of examples 1-3, an orange lamp will illuminate in the viewfinder if an error has been made.

When the lens can not be removed

Have you pressed the Cocking Lever completely forward?

CAUTION:

∙The winder RZ-1 cannot be used on the RZ PRO II body.

∙When using the mirror-up operation in the B (bulb) mode, use an optional double cable release.

∙The previous models of AE Prism Finders or AE Magnifying Finders cannot be used with the RZ PRO II unless their circuits

are modified. Contact your country's Mamiya Distributor for further information.

∙The AE Prism Finder FE701 can be directly mounted on the RZ PRO II.

∙Electronic Flash Precautions

Electronic Flash units that have a high sync trigger voltage may seriously damage the electronic circuitry of your RZ PRO II. Flash

units with a maximum of 12 volts sync output trigger voltage are safe for use. Please contact your flash manufacturer, or have your

local flash repair station test the sync line trigger voltage before using with your RZ PRO II. Older studio flash power packs are

particularly suspect of using high voltage sync trigger voltages, sometimes feeding as much as 400 volts into your RZ PRO II

sync terminal! To prevent this problem, your may consider using a "filter" or regulating circuit between your power pack and sync cord. Contact your local flash dealer or manufacturer for more information about these devices.
