(1) This compact, lightweight, aperture-preferred AE camera has a built-in microcomputer, product of the latest in electronic engineering, to insure high precision automatic exposure in candlelight to sunlight.
(2) Five LED shutter speed indicators in the viewfinder let you set exposure in an instant so that you won't miss those once-in-a-lifetime shots. Three-way (split-image, microprism, ground glass screen) focusing lets you focus any type of subject quickly and sharply.
(3) Soft-touch electromagnetic
(5) Fujica X 'short turn' (65° ) lens mount permits quick lens changing and accepts the entire line of new X-Fujinon interchangeable lenses from wide-angle to telephoto as well as other lenses to take full advantage of the SLR system.
1. Attaching the strap
* Slide back the strap end hoop as shown.* Hold the clamp between your fingers as shown and pull out the metal clip.
* The clamp may be tight when it's new. If you find it difficult to pull out the clip, open the clamp with your fingers and pull it outs
* Hook the clip to the camera's Strap Eyelet and push the clamp forward to lock the clip.
* slide back the strap-end hoop tightly against the clamp.
Putting the camera in its case
Put the camera in its case and secure the cam to the strap with the flaps provided on both sides of the case by closing the snaps. Next, put on the case cover,
To take the camera out of its case, repeat (5) in reverse.
2. MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING THE LENS
Position the red dot on the lens rear opposite the red dot on the Lens Mount, then push the Lens in and turn it 65° to the right (clockwise). It will lock into position with a click.
While pressing in the Lens Lock toward the camera body, turn the Lens to the left (counter-clockwise} as far as it will go, then pull it out toward the front.
Using the Rubber Lens Hood
3. LOADING AND CHECKING THE BATTERY
When shooting against the light, fit the accessory Rubber Lens Hood on to the lens to prevent flare and ghost caused by the light falling directly on the lens surface.
Choosing the Right Battery You can use any one of the following batteries but be sure to use a new batter.
6-volt silver oxide battery: (4SR44)
6-volt alkaline manganese battery: (4LR44)
6-volt lithium battery
Notes: 1. One new silver-oxide battery and lithium battery will normally last about 6 months, and one new alkaline-manganese battery about 4 months.
2. Before loading, wipe both ends of the battery clean with a dry piece of cloth.
3. If you are not taking pictures for a long while, remove the battery before putting the camera away.
4. It is recommended to use a silver oxide battery for shooting in cold weather.
(1) Remove the Battery Compartment Cover by pushing the Cover Lock in toward the Lens with your
fingernail and lifting it up.
(2) Insert the battery, plus (+) and minus ( - ) ends correctly, as shown in the Battery Compartment.
(3) The battery will load easier if you insert the minus ( - ) end first.
(4) To unload, press down and pull out the plus (+) end of the battery with your fingernail.
(5) Replace the Battery Compartment Cover by sliding in the inner edge and pressing the cover down.
If the battery is not up to the required strength, you will not get properly exposed pictures because your Fujica AX-5's shutter is electronically controlled regardless of the exposure mode employed.
Make it a habit to check the battery before you start taking pictures.
(1) Turn on the main switch.
(2) While looking through the Viewfinder, press the Shutter Release halfway down.
(3) If the red LED opposite the letter 'B' at the bottom of the shutter speed scale blinks (about 4 times a second), it's time to change the battery. However, if you are using an alkaline-manganese battery, the LED will start to blink earlier than when using other types of batteries. In this case, there is still enough power left to expose several rolls of film.
(4) If no LED turns on in the viewfinder, the camera will not operate because the battery strength is insufficient.
Notes: 1. If you are taking your camera on a trip, be sure to bring a spare battery along.2. When shooting in cold weather, check the battery frequently because low temperatures will reduce battery efficiency.
Main SwitchYour Fujica AX-5 has a main switch (ON/OFF/Self timer Lever) on the left side top of the camera (next to the Film Speed Selector). Before you start taking pictures and before you check the battery, be sure to switch it ON by pulling the lever out toward Use cartridge-packed 35mm roll film (135 type) Always load and unload film in subdued light (1) Open the Camera Back by pulling the Film Rewind Knob all the way out. (It will not open unless the knob is fully pulled out.) (2) Drop the film cartridge into the Film Chamber with the spool head (protruding portion of the cartridge) pointing to the camera bottom, then push the Film Rewind Knob down to its original position. * The film is advancing properly if the Film Rewind Knob turns while the Film Advance Lever is winding. * The white dots between the numbers in the Exposure Counter represent odd numbers. * You can position the film faster by setting the Shutter Speed Selector to 1000 and moving the Aperture Ring off auto (orange diamond) mark because the shutter will trip faster. (7) Film identification The Film Confirmation Window in the camera back will tell you at a glance whether there is film in the camera or not. If you have Fuji film in your camera, it will also tell you the film type and the number of exposures it will yield. Loading the film with the Fujica Auto Winder Attached * For further information read the Auto Winder instruction manual. (1) While pressing in the Film Speed Selector Lock (a white button at the side of the Film Speed Selector, turn the selector dial and set it for the speed of the film you are using, that is, if you are using an ASA 100 film, set the number 100 opposite the Film Speed Setting Mark. * The marks labeled +1 and -1 on each side of the Film Speed Setting mark are used for making exposure compensation. Be sure to use the center mark for setting the Film Speed Selector. (2) The lines etched between the numbers on the Film Speed Selector represent the ASA speeds shown in the illustration above. (3) The corresponding ASA and DIN film speeds are as follows: 6. AIMING THE CAMERA 2) When shooting with the camera held vertically, try to keep it extra steady because it will be less stable in that position, 3) The film is advanced with the right thumb and the Shutter Release is depressed with the right for finger. 1. NUMBERS AND LETTERS ON THE SHUTTER SPEED SELECTOR Your Fujica AX-5 is a super-sophisticated multimode automatic exposure camera which is capable of programmed, aperture preferred, and shutter preferred automatic exposure, as well as manual exposure. Your AX-5's shutter is controlled electronically from 1/1000 - 2-sec. through B regardless of The Shutter Speed and Aperture Ring setting for automatic exposure are as follows: Notes: 1. To move the Aperture Ring to the orange auto mark and from there back to the apertures for manual setting, turn the ring while pressing down the Safety Lock Pin provided on it. 2. When the Shutter Speed Selector is set to AEL for aperture-preferred automatic exposure, the exposure setting seen through the Viewfinder when the Shutter Release is depressed halfway will remain locked until you take your finger off the Shutter Release. In other words, the shutter speed will remain the same even if there are changes in the subject brightness (aperture values). (Refer to the paragraph entitled 'AK Lock' on page 35.) 3. VIEWFINDER INFORMATION The information provided in the Viewfinder of your AX-5 is as follows: If an f-number which falls between the numbers etched on the viewfinder aperture scale has been selected, the LED opposite the number nearest to it will turn on. (1) Red exposure mode indicator Sometimes, however, it may not be the LED opposite the nearest number that will turn on. For example, the LED opposite F2 may turn on although the selected aperture is F1.6, but this is extremely rare and can be ignored. Programmed automatic exposure permits the camera to automatically set both aperture and shutter speed for optimum exposure. Unlike the aperture-preferred or shutter-preferred mode, it rarely requires you to check whether the selected aperture or shutter speed is useable and is therefore suitable for taking quick shots. It is usually best, therefore, to carry your camera around with it set for programmed AK. (1) Set the orange auto mark on the Aperture Ring opposite the Aperture Setting 4. Chart showing the exposure combinations of the programmed mode The shutter speed and aperture combinations in the Viewfinder will vary as shown along the thick diagonal line, but they may sometimes differ from the actual values that will be used. For example, a subject having a light value of 9 will actually be exposed at F4.8, 1/20 sec. although the viewfinder indication will be F4, 1/30 sec. With an F1.4 lens or F2.8 lens on the camera, the shutter speed alone will slow down by an initial speed of 1/2 or 1/8 sec. respectively. 5. APERTURE-PREFERRED AUTOMATIC EXPOSURE This is the mode to use when the emphasis is on the aperture, that is, when you are taking a portrait and want to blur out the background to make your subject stand out (use the largest possible aperture) or when you are taking a close-up and want maximum depth of field so that everything in your picture will be sharply focused (use the smallest possible aperture). (1) Set the Shutter Speed Selector to AE or AEL. (3) The LEDs in the Viewfinder will turn on to show you the selected aperture and the shutter speed coupled to it by the camera when the Meter Button is depressed or the Shutter Release is pressed halfway down. (5) If you are taking a dimly lit subject on aperture-preferred AE, the camera may provide a shutter speed of less than 1/30-sec. depending on the aperture you selected, in which case you will have to guard against camera shake by mounting the camera on a tripod or using something firm to support the camera, such as a table or the top of a chair. 6. SHUTTER-PREFERRED AUTOMATIC EXPOSURE In contrast to the aperture-preferred mode, which is used mainly for creating artistic affects such as intentional blurs, the shutter-preferred mode is used mainly for taking action pictures with the shutter speed normally set to 1/60-sec. or faster to eliminate the effects of camera shake. This is the mode to use if you want to freeze action with a fast shutter speed or create the appearance of motion in your picture with a slow shutter speed. (1) Set the orange auto mark (a) on the Aperture Ring opposite the Setting Mark. (2) Set the Shutter Speed Selector to the speed you want. 2. If you are shooting on shutter-preferred AE, it is not recommended to set the Shutter Speed Selector Dial to 'B', '1' or '2S'. If you want to use these speeds, you'll have to use manual exposure. (3) The LEDs in the Viewfinder will show you the selected shutter speed and the aperture provided by the camera when the Meter Button is depressed or the Shutter Release is pressed halfway down. * If the reading is as shown above, exposure will be made with a shutter speed of 1/250~sec. and an aperture of F11. 2.In the shutter-preferred AE mode, the aperture which will be automatically set by the camera may vary + 1 step maximum. To correct this, the camera can provide automatic shutter speed compensation of + 1 step for the shutter speed you have set. * If the brightness of your subject is beyond the camera's light metering range (EV 0 - 19, see page 34 Light metering range), however, your picture will not be correctly exposed. In the center of the viewfinder of your Fujica AX-1, you will see a split-image spot, a microprism collar around it which, in turn, is surrounded by a ground glass screen. Any one of them can be used for focusing the lens. FOCUSING WITH THE SPLIT IMAGE CENTER 2) Your subject is in sharp focus when the upper and lower segments of the image in the split image center fall in line. This method of focusing is best for taking pictures of subjects that are formed mainly of straight lines such as buildings, towers ate FOCUSING WITH THE MICROPRISIM COLLAR 2) Your subject is in sharp focus when it appears smooth and clear. This method of focusing is recommended for portrait work. Focusing with the Ground-glass Screen Focusing by Eye Estimation This method is best for taking quick snapshots. However, if you are using a large aperture or are taking close-ups, or if you are shooting with a telephoto lens, be sure to focus the lens precisely, 5.

Using Praktica screw-mount Fujinon lenses . Specifications ............... CAMERA FUNCTIONS The table shows your camera's light metering range with films of various speeds. Since the range at ASA 100 is from EV 2 - EV 19, the range with an F1.6 lens is from EV3 1/3 (at F1.6, 2 sec. to EV 18 let F16, 1/1000-sec.) It applies to the camera's built-in exposure meter's measurements for programmed, aperture-preferred and stopped-down automatic exposure as well as manual. 2. AE LOCK (EXPOSURE MEMORY) The exposure settings of your Fujica AX-1 can be locked with the AE lock. (1) When the Shutter Release is pressed halfway down, the shutter speed (indicated by a red LED) coupled to the preset aperture to accommodate the brightness of the subject will remain locked until you take your finger off the Shutter Release. This is referred to as AE Lock (locking the AE or automatic exposure). (2) The AE lock is useful for making automatic exposure compensation in backlighted situations. To compensate for backlighted portraits, you just bring the camera up close to your subject, press the Shutter Release halfway down and hold it there, then step back and shoot. * Don't take your finger off the Shutter Release until you trip the shutter. 2. Since the Aperture Ring (orange auto mark ) is not provided with an AE lock the only time you can lock the exposure setting is when the camera is operating in the aperture-preferred automatic exposure mode. 1) Set the Shutter Speed Selector to AE or AEL. 3) Press in the Preview Button and, while holding it there, look through the Viewfinder and press the Shutter Release halfway down to make sure that neither the overexposure nor the underexposure warning signal is blinking. 4) Take your picture by pressing the Shutter Release gently down, Stopped-down automatic exposure 4. MANUAL EXPOSURE In the manual mode, both the shutter speed and aperture are set manually. (1) Set the Shutter Speed Selector to the desired speed . (2) Set the Aperture Ring to the desired value. (3) Look through the Viewfinder and press the Shutter Release halfway down for depress the Meter Button). (4) If the shutter speed and aperture you selected are 1/125 sec. and F4 respectively and the yellow LE D opposite F8 turns on and blinks, the correct aperture is F8. (5) Move the Aperture Ring from F4 to F8 or, if you must use an aperture of F4, move the Shutter Speed Selector from 125 to 500 to turn off one of the yellow LEDs and stop the blinking. (6) After making the correct setting, take your picture by pressing the Shutter Release gently down. (7) You can easily make exposure compensation by taking advantage of the function just described. In the case shown in the above illustration, you can intentionally underexpose by 1 EV by setting the Aperture Ring to F11 or overexpose by 1 EV by setting it to F5.6: (8) To take pictures requiring long exposures of 2 second or more, set the shutter speed selector to 'B'. The shutter will remain open for as long as the shutter release is held depressed so that you can trip the shutter when you want to. 5. Exposure compensation The procedures for making exposure compensation are as follows: Exposure Compensation with the Camera on Manual Exposure Compensation with the AE Lock (Refer to the Paragraph on AE Lock, Page 35.) Exposure Compensation Chart 5. MULTIPLE EXPOSURE 2) While pressing down the Rewind Button, wind the film with the Film Advance Lever. (The film will remain stationary, the shutter will wind, and the Exposure Counter will remain where it is.) 3) After winding the Film Advance Lever, take your second picture. You can repeat (2) and (3) as many times as you want. 2 It cannot be made with an Auto Winder X coupled to the camera. 3. For best results, use a tripod. 7. SELF TIMER To take group pictures, family souvenir pictures, etc. with yourself included, use the Self Timer. 1. Mount the camera on a tripod or some other firm support. 2. Wind the film, focus the lens, and make the exposure settings. 4. Push the Self-timer lever toward the camera back as far as it will go. 8. CONTROLLING THE DEPTH OF FIELD To check the effects of the aperture you selected -how well the background has been blurred out or how deep the zone of sharpness is- look through the Viewfinder and stop down the Lens to the taking aperture by pressing in the Preview Button. The reason you can exercise such control is that when the Lens is focused on a point, there will be a zone of sharpness extending to the front and back of that point of sharpest focus which is known as the depth of field of a lens and which works as follows: 2. The smaller the aperture, the wider the depth of field, and vice versa. 3. The farther the point on which the lens is focused, the wider the depth of field, and vice versa. 4. The zone of sharpness in front of the point of sharpest focus is narrower than the zone of sharpness behind it. 9. INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHY To take infrared pictures with infrared film in your camera, the Lens is focused on a point slightly short of your subject. The procedure is as follows: 1. Focus the lens on your subject. 2. Check the distance given on the Distance Ring and move that distance opposite the Infrared Setting Mark. Next, put a red filter on the Lens and shoot. (The Infrared Setting Mark is the small red dot located next to the Lens Setting Mark. ) * Read the instruction sheet packed with your infrared film carefully because exposure is not determined by subject brightness. 10. TAKING FLASH PICTURES Indoor, nighttime, and outdoor backlighted pictures are best taken with a flash. To take automatic flash pictures with your Fuji AX-5, use either the Fuji Auto Strobe 300X or the Fuji Auto Strobe AZ. (Both are exclusive 'system accessories' of your Fuji AX). The Fuji Auto Strobe 300X is a large capacity flash having a guide number of 30 and it has a sub light to assist you to take bounce light pictures. By using this flash you can take perfect bounce light pictures every time, although this type of pictures are generally considered difficult to take with flash. In addition, it will automatically switch the camera's shutter speed to 1/60-sec. as soon as it is fully charged. The Fujica Auto Strobe AZ has a guide number of 17 and it lets you take automatic flash pictures with the entire range of apertures on your camera lens. This is a highly effective flash for taking pictures of groups of people because it interlocks with the camera's film speed selector and extends the shooting distance when the camera is loaded with high speed film. This flash will also automatically switch the camera's shutter speed to 1/60 -sec. as soon as it is fully charged. When the camera's Shutter Speed Selector is set to AE OR AEL, both auto flash units will let you take automatic flash pictures as soon as they are fully charged. The camera is capable of non-flash automatic exposure until they are fully charged, so even if the shutter is released by mistake, you will get a correctly exposed picture. You can also take continuous flash pictures in combination with the Auto Winder X. 1. Taking Automatic Flash Pictures with the Fujica Auto Strobe 300X 1. Clip the strobe foot into the camera's accessory shoe. 2. Set the camera's shutter speed selector to AE. 3. Set the Strobe's Distance Selector to either the yellow, green, or red mark. Them marks represent the following shooting distances: Yellow ....1 - 2.7 m {3.3 - 8.9 ft.) 4. Set the ISO/ASA speed selector on the strobe back to the number corresponding to the speed of the film you are using. 6. Turn on the Strobe Switch. You can go ahead and shoot as soon as the ready lamp turns on. 7. To take your picture, focus the lens, compose your subject, and press down the shutter release. If your subject is standing near a wall, you will get distracting shadows in your picture if you flash it from the front. The situation calls for using bounce light. 2. Taking Automatic Flash Pictures with the Fujica Auto Strobe AZ 1. Clip the strobe foot into the camera's accessory shoe. 3. If you are using an X-Fujinon DM lens, set the Strobe's F-number dial to F1.4 (marked in red). If you are using an X-Fujinon lens, set it to the maximum aperture of the lens. 4. You can use any aperture you wish but the shooting distance will differ depending on the aperture and the speed of the film you are using. (Use the accompanying chart as your guide for selecting the aperture). 5. Switch the strobe switch to 'AUTO' and shoot as soon as the Ready Lamp turns on. 10. TAKING FLASH PICTURES Example: ISO/ASA 100 film, F4 .. 0.5 - 4m (1.7 -13.2 ft.) The nearest shooting distance for ISO/ASA 25 and 50 films is 0.5 meter at all apertures. 3. Taking Automatic Flash Pictures with Other Auto-flash Units Set the Shutter Speed Selector to 1/60 sec. (X sync) and set the Aperture Ring to the specified value. The flash will do the rest to give you correctly exposed pictures. (For details, read the instructions packed with the flash you are using). 4. Other Flash Units You'll have to find the correct aperture to use by dividing the flash guide number by the distance from flash to subject and set the Aperture Ring accordingly. Example using an ISO/ASA 100 film (Fujicolor HR100) Example using an ISO/ASA 400 film (Fujicolor H R400) The guide number is double that of the ISO/ASA 100 film so 40 divided by 5 = 8 and the correct aperture is F8. X-Fujinon lens operation and mount adapters 1. CHANGING THE LENS An advantage of the SLR camera is that it permits you to use many different kinds of lenses, and there are a wide variety of high performance X-fujinon interchangeable lenses of outstanding color compatibility available to you for taking scenic, portraits, snapshots, etc. 2. TYPES OF X-FUJINON INTERCHANGEABLE LENSES There are two types: X-Fujinon DM Lenses {Lenses with an Orange Mark on the Aperture Scale) These are capable of full aperture metering and programmed, shutter-preferred, and aperture-preferred automatic exposure. However, your Fujica AX-5 is provided for full aperture metering and aperture-preferred automatic exposure only. Do not set the Aperture Ring to the orange (diamond) mark. (Stops down the aperture to the preset value just before exposure by the operation of the Aperture Control Lever in the camera body.) These lenses are mounted on your Fujica AX-5 with the Mount Adapter X-S (optional). The procedure for taking pictures is explained below. For details read the instructions packed with the adapter. 1. Screw the Mount Adapter X-S on the rear end of your lens. 2. Place the red dot on the adapter's rear end against the red dot on the camera's Lens Mount and turn the lens 65ø tO the right (clockwise). It will lock into position with a click. Set the adapter's aperture scale for the maximum aperture of the lens you are using. If the adapter does not have that f-number, set it to the one nearest to that number. Example: F 1 .6/55mm lens set adapter to F 1.4 F1.8/55mm lens set adapter to F2 Note: If the adapter's aperture scale is set to M, it will work in practically the same way as the Mount Adapter X-S. Follow the procedure shown below for the Mount Adapter X-S. Praktica Screw-mount Fujinon Lens with Mount Adapter X-S The exposure mode possible in this case is stopped down automatic exposure. (1) Screw the Mount Adapter X-S on the rear end of your lens. (2) Place the red dot on the adapter's rear end against the red dot on the camera's Lens Mount and turn the lens 65° to the right (clockwise). It will lock into position with a click. CAMERA CARE * After you are through shooting, be sure to trip the shutter by pressing down the shutter release button. * Normally. your camera does not need lubricating. It should never be oiled or taken apart except by a qualified service technician. * Periodically, dust off your camera and wipe it with clean, lintless cloth. Use an air blower to remove dust and film debris from the interior. * If you are not using your camera for a long interval, take it out of its case, remove the battery, and store it away from moisture, heat, and dust. The best way to store it is to keep it in a lidded container together with some desiccant, such as silica gel. * Guard the lens and viewfinder against finger marks and dust. Use an air blower to remove dust. Finger marks are removed with Fuji Lens cleaning Fluid or Lens Cleaning Paper. Do not touch the mirror because it will damage easily. * Keep a note of your camera and lens numbers so that you can trace them in cam they go astray. * If you are shooting sea-side scenes, carry the camera in a vinyl bag and take it out only when you need it. After you return home, wipe off salt and sand with a piece of clean, lintless cloth. * Take your camera to your service technician for its checking about once every two years. It will give you better and longer service. * On hot days, do not leave your camera in your car or in moist places except temporarily for a very short time. * In freezing weather, keep it warm by putting it in the case and carrying it inside your wind breaker and take it out only when it is needed. * Guard against dropping your camera on the floor and do not leave it in direct sunlight.

Improved Through-The-Lens Exposure Meter The exposure meter of the FUJICA ST605N consists of 2 Silicon photocell light receptors located on either side of the viewfinder eyepiece, which are connected to an FET (Field Effect Transistor) circuit and are coupled with the shutter and diaphragm It measures the average light intensity which falls on the entire surface of the focusing glass In other words. it measures the light that has passed through the lens and will actually reach the film Its special features are: high sensitivity, complete accuracy, instantaneous response, and a spectral sensitivity close to that of color film. Other merits are its compatibility with any lens that can be mounted on the camera, and elimination of the necessity of making exposure corrections in taking close-ups and in shooting with a filter on the lens because the light that has passed through the selected aperture is the light that is measured 2. World Renowned FUJINON Lens The interchangeable lenses of the FUJICA ST605N are widely known for their superb color definition and perfect corner-to-corner picture sharpness and clarity. 3.

(FUJICOLOR F- II FUJICHROME R100 and NEOPAN SS are ASA 100 films FUJICOLOR F-11400 and NEOPAN 400 are ASA 400 films The calibrations between the ASA numbers represent the following numbers ( I ) · If you are using a film marked for DIN speed. refer to the following conversion table (11) SETTING THE SHUTTER SPEED The letter B and the numbers 2 . . . . 700 on the Shutter Speed Selector Dial represent 'bulb' and 1/2 ., 1/700 second. They indicate the length of time the film will be exposed to light The shutter speed scale is also visible in the viewfinder (left side edge) This camera allows you to set exposure either by the shutter speed or by the size of the lens opening However, it is best to set the shutter speed first. For example. the shutter speed would be from 1/125 to 1/250 sec if you are shooting outdoors. or from 1/30 see to 1/60 sec. if you are shooting indoors To set the shutter speed. first turn the Shutter Speed Selector Dial while pressing down on it slightly and set the number you want opposite the red dot on the camera body To set the shutter speed with the scale and needle in the viewfinder, just move the needle into position by turning the Shutter Speed Selector * There are no intermediate settings between the numbers indicated on the dial. * 60 is marked in red to remind you that it is the speed used for shooting with electronic flash * Excepting 1/700 second. each shutter speed is either 1/2 or 2 times the speed of the shutter speed next to it. Beyond B and 700 (see illustration), the Shutter Speed Selector Dial will turn lightly (there won't be any click stops) and the Shutter Speed Indicator Needle in the Viewfinder will point anywhere between B and 700. The actual shutter speed, however, will be either B or 1 /700-sec. To set the shutter-speed, look through the viewfinder. turn the Shutter Speed Selector Dial and set it accurately at one of the click stops (not between them). FOCUS THE LENS AND FRAME YOUR PICTURE 1. Focus the Lens (1 ) Look through the Viewfinder and point the camera so that the main subject is seen through the small (2) Split-image Focusing Turn the Focusing Ring I) until the upper and lower segments of the split image in the microprism center spot converge to form a single image (3) Microprism Focusing Turn the Focusing Ring until the image in the microprism center spot appears sharp. (4) You can also focus with any part of the area surrounding the microprism center spot This method is especially useful when shooting with aperture stopped far down. (5) The white numbers on the Focusing Ring are for meters and the green numbers are for feet The distance can also be set by visual judgment for quick shooting. When shooting extreme close-ups the distance from subject to Film Plane Mark (15) must be precisely measured with a tape measure 2. Frame Your Picture The Viewfinder will let you see 92% of the entire view that will register on your film so that you can go ahead and use the whole length and width of the area in the Viewfinder to frame your picture · Eyesight Adjustment Lens The Viewfinder is provided with an eyepiece for those with normal vision If you are near sighted or far sighted, be sure to use an Eyesight Adjustment Lens, otherwise it will be extremely difficult for you to focus the lens precisely Four different Eyesight Adjustment Lenses are supplied as optional accessories: +2, +0.5, - 2 5 and —4 dioptor CORRECT EXPOSURE 1. Press the Exposure Meter Switch Point the camera at your subject while looking through the viewfinder and press the Exposure Meter Switch (10). The meter needle on the right hand side of the viewfinder will move up from the ( - ) position. At the same time, the view will darken because the aperture will close down to the one you have selected. 2. Turn the Aperture Selector Ring Press down the Exposure Meter Switch and turn the Aperture Selector Ring (17) until the needle in the viewfinder moves into the center of the indentation You now have the correct exposure. The aperture can also be set intermediately between the calibrations on the scale to permit fine adjustments. 3. If the Needle Does Not Move into the Center of the Indentation. If the meter needle does not move into the center of the Indentation by turning the Aperture Selector Ring, you will have to change the shutter speed · If the needle is near the ( - ) side. reduce the shutter speed. (Example: If the shutter speed is 1/125 sec., reduce it to 1/60 sec.). Since the light that is measured is the average light intensity falling on the focusing glass, the range of measurement must differ depending on the speeds of the lens and film. A noteworthy feature of this exposure meter is that it covers a wide range of exposure values If you are shooting with FUJICOLOR F-E (ASA 100j film using a 50mm F1 4 lens, for example. the range covered would be EV2 ~ EV17-2/3 (f/1.4 1/2 sec.- f/16 1/700 sec.). If the lens is 55mm F2.2, the range is from EV3 - EV17-2/3 (f/2.2 1/2 sec. - f/16 1/700 sec ). The chart on page 55 shows the light measuring range of the FUJICA ST605N's exposure meter. The Shutter Speed Selector Dial can be 1. Hold the Camera Steady If you don't hold the camera steady. your pictures will not turn out sharp because the camera will shake Be sure to hold yourself in good balance with elbows close against your body and the camera pressed lightly against your face This is all the more necessary if you are shooting with the camera held vertically. Practice a little and get used to these motions 2. Press Down the Shutter Release Button Be sure to press down the Shutter Release Button (5) gently. Any jerky motion can cause the camera to shake and pictures to be unsharp. 3. When To Use a Tripod If you are taking a close-up, telephoto shot. or if you are shooting at a shutter speed slower than 1/30 sec . be sure to use a tripod and cable release to avoid camera shake A cable release is also recommended for shooting long-exposure shots with the camera placed on a table, against a tree, or on some other steady foundation A cable release with a stopper attachment is a very convenient item for shooting with the camera set at B (bulb). You can press open the shutter, hold it in that position with the stopper for as long as you want, then release the stopper to close the shutter REWINDING FILM AND UNLOADING FILM After you have finished a roll of film, rewind it back into the cartridge and take it out of the camera 1. Press the Film Rewind Button First, press down the Film Rewind Button (34) located on the underside of the camera Once you have pressed down this button, you can let it go because it will stay depressed The Sprocket Wheels (28) are now free. 2. Turn the Film Rewind Crank Erect the Film Rewind Crank (14) and wind it in the direction of the arrow to return the exposed film back into the cartridge. Just before the end of the film is reached, you will fell a slight tension release on the crank. Give it two more turns into the cartridge. 3. Open the Camera Back Lift the Combination Film Rewind Crank - Camera Back Lock (14) until the Camera Back (31) opens with a snap. Now take out the cartridge and send it to the processor - the sooner the better · If the end of the film is reached when you have wound the Film Advance Lever half-way around. do not force it because the film might break. Simply press the Film Rewind Button and wind the Film Advance Lever all the way back. The shutter will be wound, but the film will remain stationary. Since you have already pressed the Film Rewind Button. all you need do is turn the Film Rewind Crank A complete range of highly color-compatible, high resolution FUJINON interchangeable lenses are available for shooting scenic, portraits, snap-shots, news photos. and photo records with the FUJICA ST605N You can also use any lens with a Praktica thread mount on it as well as any Leica mount lens by simply attaching a Leica mount adapter on the camera But the Leica mount lens can only be used for shooting close-ups How to Change the Lens Hold the part of the lens barrel with the depth of field scale on it with your hand and turn it counter-clockwise. About 2~ turns will dismount the lens. To mount, repeat the same motion in reverse, but be sure to screw the lens in tightly. USING FUJINON INTERCHANGEABLE LENSES Table of the Fujinon lenses COUPLING RANGE OF THE FUJICA ST605N'S EXPOSURE METER The ASA film speed and shutter speed are coupled over the range shown in the chart on the opposite page To measure the exposure you can use the entire range of apertures provided on the lens you are using. Example: With the ASA speed selector set to 100 you can use a shutter speed of from 1/2 to 1/700 sec. The aperture will automatically be coupled to the shutter speed being used. EXPOSURE CORRECTION Any normal subject can be accurately exposed by following the meter reading However, best results are obtained under the following situations by correcting the exposure 1. Back lighted Subjects. etc. Back lighted subjects or ski scenes, which are dominated by white areas and strong reflections, will turn out with the main subject underexposed. By opening the aperture by 1/2 or 1 full stop, or by approaching the main subject to measure the light intensity, it can be correctly exposed. 2. Spot-lighted Subjects. etc. A person standing before a black background or a spot-lighted subject in a stage play will be influenced by the dark surroundings and turn out overexposed. The aperture should be stopped down by 1/2 or 1 full stop below that indicated by the meter 3. Copying Documents The major portion of most documents are occupied by white areas The situation calls for opening the aperture by 1 full stop from that indicated by the meter If you. want, to be more precise, place an 18% With the aperture stopped well down, the light reflected from your eye or spectacles (if you are wearing them) will reach the focusing glass and slightly influence the meter reading. To avoid this, use an Eye Cup over the Viewfinder eyepiece. UTILIZING THE LENS DEPTH OF FIELD 1. What is meant by Depth of Field To check the effects of the aperture you have selected —how well you have blurred out the background or how wide the depth of sharpness is - all you have to do is to look through the viewfinder, because the aperture will close down to the size you have selected as you press down the Exposure Meter Switch. Thus, the sharpness of a picture extends over a considerable range both in front of and behind the point the lens is focused on. This zone of sharpness is referred to as the depth of field The width of the depth of held differs depending on the lens focal length. subject distance, and lens aperture. (1) The higher the aperture number (the smaller the aperture), the wider the depth of held. The lower the aperture number, the narrower it becomes. (2) The longer the focal length of the lens, the narrower the depth of held, and the shorter it is the wider it becomes. (3) The farther the distance the lens is focused on, the wider the depth of field. (4) The zone of sharpness in front of the point of sharpest focus is narrower than the zone of sharpness behind the same point (5) Example A shows the aperture fully open A B 2. How to see the Depth of Field All the interchangeable lenses of the FUJICA ST605N are provided with a depth of field indicator on the lens barrel For example, if you are using an F2 2 55 mm normal lens and have set the aperture at f/8 and the distance at 15 feet (5 m), everything from about 11.5 feet (3.5 m) to 28.5 feet (8.7 m) will be in focus USING THE SELF TIMER If you are taking pictures of a group or if you are shooting a family souvenir picture and want to get into the picture yourself. just use the self-timer First, mount the camera on a tripod, wind the film and push the Self-timer Set Lever all the way down, Next, press the Self-timer Start Button and move back into the picture The shutter will be automatically released in 8 ~ 10 seconds · Don't press the Shutter Release Button 'instead' of the Self-timer Start Button, because you will release the shutter if you do · Make sure the Self-timer Lever is pushed all the way down (never part-way down) before depressing the Start Button When shooting with infrared film, remember that the point You can use a flash for shooting indoors and night pictures as well as for supplementary lighting in outdoor photography 1. Electronic Flash (l) With a cordless, hot-shoe type electronic flash, all that is necessary is to mount it on the camera's hot-shoe (12). (2) With other types of electronic flash, the flash unit is mounted on the camera's hot-shoe and the cord is plugged into the camera's X-contact socket (22) (3) With large-size electronic flash, the flash unit is mounted on the camera with the accessory bracket and the cord is plugged into the camera's X-contact socket. (4) In each case, the shutter speed is set at 1/60 sec. (marked in red on the Shutter Speed Scale) 2. Sync Ranges - an electronic flash will sync from B to 1/60. Flash bulb are no longer used so I won't print the graph. 3. Exposure (1) Electronic Flash Flash guide number divided by subject-to-film distance equals aperture. Example: Electronic Flash (Guide No. m18/ft.60) FUJICOLORF-f II, FUJICHROME R100 NEOPAN SS (ASA100) Subject-to-film distance=3m/l0ft. 18 (GN. m)/60 (GN. ft.) divided by 3 (m)/10 (ft.) aperture) = 6 (f/5.6 is the correct aperture) (2) Flash Bulb Since the flash guide number varies with the shutter speed the recommended procedure for determining the aperture is to follow the instructions packed with the flash.

1. If the Shutter Speed Selector is in AS or AEL position, turn it while pressing in the Shutter Speed Selector Lock.
1. If two yellow LEDs turn on at the same time, exposure will be made with an aperture that lies between them.
If the lens you are using does not have an aperture that will accommodate the shutter speed you selected, the yellow LED at the top or bottom of the aperture scale will turn on and blink. However, even if you trip the shutter by mistake, your picture will be properly exposed because the Fujica AX-5 is built to provide automatic compensation for shutter speed.* If, after setting the shutter speed, the yellow LED opposite '22' blinks to warn you of overexposure as illustrated in the right-hand figure the normal thing to do is to use a faster shutter; speed to turn off the warning, but even if you should trip the shutter, it will automatically switch to a higher speed to provide correct exposure.
Note: When the Aperture Ring is set to the orange auto mark , an X-Fujinon DM lens will provide an aperture equivalent to F22 even if its minimum aperture is F16 as in the case of the AX-5's F1.6/50mm lens. Depending on the shutter speed setting, therefore, the yellow LED opposite '22' may sometimes turn on. In this case, you will have to reset the shutter speed so that yellow LED moves down to 16 or under.

You will have to use stopped-down automatic exposure when shooting with a Praktica screw-mount Fujinon lens (mounted with Mount Adapter X-S), an ultra-telephoto lens, through an automatic extension bellows, a microscope (with Microscope Adapter X) or a Macrocinecopy, or with the lens mounted in reverse (with Reverse Adapter X). And to prevent light from entering through the finder and fouling up your exposure setting, you will have to use the accessory eyecup or eyepiece cap.
2) Set the Aperture Ring to the desired value.Note: If you are shooting with the Shutter Speed Selector set to AEL, be sure to press in the Preview Button before you press the Shutter Release halfway down because your picture will not turn our properly exposed if you do it the other way around.
Shooting through a microscope or macrocinecopy
1) Set the Shutter Speed Selector to AE or AEL.
2) Look through the Viewfinder and press the Shutter Release halfway down to make sure that neither the overexposure nor the underexposure warning signal is blinking.
3) Take your picture by pressing the Shutter Release gently down.
Shooting with a Untar-telephoto lens, with a lens mounted in reverse,
and through an auto Extension Bellows
1) Set the Shutter Speed Selector to AE or AEL.
2) Set the Aperture Ring to the desired value.
3) Look through the Viewfinder and press the Shutter Release halfway down to make sure that neither the overexposure nor the underexposure warning signal is blinking.
4) Take your picture by pressing the Shutter Release gently down.
Under normal conditions your pictures will be properly exposed without exposure compensation, but if you are shooting under special lighting conditions (against the light, etc.), or if you are taking intentional high key pictures (overexposed pictures) or intentional low key pictures (underexposed pictures), or if you are taking pictures under the conditions shown in the accompanying chart, exposure compensation is mandatory.
Just press in the Film Speed Selector Lock, move the film speed setting to the mark labeled +1 or -1 and take your picture. (Be sure to move it back to its original position after making your exposure.)
(Refer to the Paragraph on Manual Exposure, Page 40.)
After checking the correct aperture indicated by the yellow LED in the Viewfinder, turn either the Aperture Ring or Shutter Speed Selector to increase or reduce exposure by the desired amount.
Set the Shutter Speed Selector to AEL and use the AE lock to make exposure compensation.
Multiple exposure is used to create special picture effects by superimposing the same scene or another scene several times on the same frame. It is easy to do with your Fujica AX-5.
1) Take your first picture.
1. Multiple exposure is normally made by photographing the darker subjects first.
3. To prevent light from entering through the Eyepiece, mount the viewfinder Eyepiece to prevent extraneous light from entering it.Note: 1. Be careful after you start the Self Timer because the shutter will trip the instant the Main Switch is pushed back to it's original position.
2. You cannot turn off the Self-timer once it is activated.
* You can take advantage of this characteristic of photographic lenses to use 'selective focusing,' that is, to draw attention to your main subject by blurring out its surroundings or to make your pictures sharp all the way from foreground to background.Note: The X-Fujinon Z 1:3.5 - 4.2/29 - 47 mm DM and X-Fujinon Z 1:3.5 - 4.5/43 - 75 mm DM lends have a depth of field scale with colored lines, which work together with the colored numbers on the aperture ring. Read the instructions packed with them lenses carefully.
Green ....1 - 5.3 m (3.3 - 17.5 ft.)
Red ..... 1.5 - 10.7 m (5 - 35.3 ft.)Example: If you are using an ISO/ASA 100 film (Fuji color HR100) and have set the Strobe's Distance Selector to the green mark, the aperture is F5.6 so you'll have to set the camera's aperture to F5.6.
The Fujica Auto Strobe 300X has a head that will tilt O - 90ø, and when tilted, it automatically converts into a twin flash having a main (G. No. 25) and a sub (G. No. 6) face to prevent your subject from becoming underexposed.
2. Set the shutter speed to AE or 60X.
6. To take your picture, focus the lens, compose your subject, and press down the Shutter Release.Note: The continuous diagonal lines on the right show the farthest shooting distances and the hyphenated lines on the left show the nearest shooting distances.
Flash guide number (ISO/ASA 100, meters) ...20
Flash to subject distance ...........5m
Since 20 divided by 5 = 4, the correct aperture is F4.CAUTION:
Your Fujica AX-5 does not allow allow you to take auto flash pictures if the Aperture Ring is set to the Auto (Orange ) mark, that is, if the camera is operating in the shutter-preferred or programmed mode.
2. Full aperture signal pin(Having a special built-in resistor for full aperture, it signals the viewfinder indicator and auto strobe circuits in the camera body on contact with a pin in the body.)
3. Aperture keying lug(It signals the f-number to the camera body, works at 6 degrees intervals per step, and stops the aperture down to minimum when the Aperture Ring is set for the orange mark.)
4. Lens auto/manual groove(When a DM lens is mounted, it presses in the auto/manual pin in the camera body to activate the automatic aperture setting circuit, and when the lens is on manual, it activates the circuit for stopping the aperture down to the preset value.)
X-Fujinon Lenses (Lenses without the Mark on the Aperture Ring)These can be used for full aperture metering and aperture-preferred automatic exposure but not for programmed and shutter-preferred automatic exposure. They are not provided with functions (2) and (4) of the DM lenses.
3. USING PRAKTICA SCREW-MOUNT FUJINON LENSESNote: If you are shooting with an adapter, the LED aperture indicator in the viewfinder will always turn on in the lowest position regardless of the aperture which is set. Caution is required, therefore, because it is impossible to check the aperture while looking through the viewfinder.

SYSTEM ACCESSORIES
This compact, lightweight unit is attached to the bottom of your camera to wind the film automatically at a rate of two frames per second so that you can concentrate on your subject and won't miss those decisive moments that can easily be lost forever. It will advance the film continuously while the shutter release is depressed or one frame at a time each time the shutter is tripped. It operates on four penlight batteries and a red LED will turn on while the film is advancing.
This data back is interchangeable with the Camera Back and is equipped with a hand-writing pen that is inter linked with a 'light pen' for printing in data (up to about 30 letters) in the bottom left corner of the picture. The Camera Back can be easily detached by pushing down the hinge pin.
Attached to a F 1.6 50mm normal lens, it lets you take close-ups of subjects about 32 to 48cm away from the camera lens.
This accessory Is used for copying pictures taken on 8 and 16mm films.
