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.
0 When the shutter will not function.
@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 0 - 0, the red LED will flash a warning on the upper right side of the view- finder.
0 When the lens cannot be removed:
0 Is the light shield curtain open?
@ Is the lens mount retracted or stored in the body?
0 Be sure to use new batteries.
* Expose the camera to cold air only when in use.
t 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.
•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.
