1 Introduction

Congratulations to your new Sinar Hy6 system. You have purchased a reliable state of the art professional medium format camera system enabling you to take pictures at highest quality. The broad variety of the functions and the easy and intuitive operation of the camera make it the ideal instrument for each application field of professional photography.

Designed and developed in cooperation with Franke & Heidecke, the Sinar Hy6 system sets new standards in medium format photography. Sinar Hy6 is a digital-analogue hybrid system, and is presently the only medium format camera that does not only cover the usual 6 x 4.5 cm format, but also the classic 6 x 6 cm format. With its central shutter and a shutter speed of only 11000 s, it is also the fastest camera in its class.

An outstanding feature of the camera is its versatility and ease of use. Using the 6 x 4.5 cm format, portrait or landscape format can be chosen without altering the camera position, simply by changing the orientation of the back. As light metering with the Sinar Hy6 system is performed independent of the viewfinder, the Sinar Hy6 system can be operated with a 90° reflex viewfinder or with a waist-level viewfinder.

The ergonomic design and the position of the operational elements guarantee quick access to all functions. There are no nested menus and no toggle key functions; in this way you will be able to call up all camera functions intuitively after you have been working with the camera for a while.

The following operating manual provides you with a description of the camera functions, and the instructions about the camera operation. Please read the safety advice and observe the assembly instructions before starting to work with the camera.

A detailed description of the Sinarback and its functions can be found in a separate documentation. Please refer also to this documentation in order to benefit from all functions of your Sinar Hy6 system, and to take optimum pictures.
