Manual Photography; Self-Timer - Mamiya 7 User Manual

Manual Photography

You may override the AE mode and select
the aperture and shutter speed manually.
Simply set the shutter speed against the
white line index mark and also set the lens
aperture to the desired "f" stop.
1. When the shutter release button is
touched gently, the selected shutter speed
LED only will be continuously illuminated
or another LED may also flash.
2. When the pre-selected shutter speed
LED only illuminates, it indicates the
shutter speed for correct exposure.
3. When the pre-selected shutter LED
illuminates and one other LED blinks, the
blinking LED indicates the shutter speed
for correct exposure.
4. Turn the shutter speed dial and/or
aperture ring to align the two LEDs until
merged. The single LED indicates correct
shutter speed.
* When on manual, 10 seconds after
activation, the LED indicators will go out,
to save battery power. If they do so during
metering, press the Shutter Release
Button half way again.
Please note:
The LED indicators will disappear 10
seconds after you remove your finger from
the shutter release button in the following
situations:
1) When the film advance lever is not
advanced.
2) When the light shield curtain is closed.

Self-Timer

1. The shutter is released about 10
seconds after pressing the self-timer
button. The LED on the front of the
camera illuminates for about 8 seconds,
then blinks for about 2 seconds, and then
the shutter is released.
2. The self-timer mode cancels itself
automatically.
* When using the self-timer the camera
must rest on a steady support. When the
shutter is set to "B" (bulb), the self-timer
does not operate.
* To override the self-timer, after having
pressed the release, press the self-timer
button again. Then the self-timer lamp will
go out and then the self-timer mode will
be canceled.
