Inserting the Battery

Even if battery power is depleted, aligning the Release Button Collar with the orange dot will make it possible to release the shutter at approximately 1/400 sec. CAUTION: 1. Since the battery that comes with the camera was packed at the time of shipment, its power may be depleted sooner than that of a fresh battery. Therefore, please buy a new battery at your earliest convenience. 2. Be sure to match the poles of the battery with those shown in the diagram in the chamber. 3. Carefully wipe the contacts of the battery before insetting it into the chamber. Failure to do so could result in poor electrical contact and cause erratic functioning of the camera. 4. When not using the camera for a long period of time, remove the battery and store it in a dry, cool place. 5. Battery life varies considerably in accordance with the following factors: battery type, freshness of the battery when purchased, the conditions under which the battery was stored before purchase and how it is stored after purchase, temperature at the time of use and service frequency. 6. Silver oxide batteries have a longer battery life than alkaline batteries.

Shutter Speed and Aperture
The Shutter Speed Dial The Aperture Ring
Select the shutter speed desired and rotate the Shutter speed Dial until the appropriate figure is aligned with the shutter speed index mark. Usually, the Shutter Speed Dial must be set to a click-stop position. However, it can also beset to an intermediate speed. The numerals as they appear on the dial and the shutter speeds they represent are shown in the following table. When the Shutter Speed Dial is set to "B"(bulb), the shutter will remain open as long as pressure is applied to the Shutter Release Button and will close as soon as pressure is released. The AEF mark which appears on the Shutter Speed Dial is the setting for the AE Finder. When set at this position, the dial locks in place. To unlock it, rotate the dial while depressing the Lock Release Button which appears in the center of the dial. The RBL mark on the dial is setting for taking photos using the RB67 lenses. In other positions the shutter release button will not released.
Using RB67 Lenses on RZ PRO II Body As stated before, the camera speed dial must set to RBL and the shutter speed on the lens. In addition you must consider that the flange focal distance on RB lenses is 111 mm and on RZ lenses 104 mm. Therefore with RB lenses the bellows must be moved forward by 7 mm to focus on infinity. The distance scales cannot be used. Shutter release is identical to RZ lens operation.
To set the diaphragm to a desired aperture, rotate the Aperture Ring until the appropriate figure is aligned with the central index line. It is perfectly acceptable to use the Aperture Ring at in-between click-stop settings. When the Shutter Release Button is depressed, the diaphragm will automatically stop down to the preselected aperture before the shutter opens for the exposure.

The Roll Film Holder

Attaching the Holder
1. Slide the Holder Lock Lever of the Roll Film Holder completely toward the Lock Release Lever A.
2. Align the orange circle B of the Revolving Ring (found at the rear of the camera) with one of the two white index marks C or D on the camera body. 3. Hold the Holder so that its orange circle is at the same position as the one on the Re-volving Ring B and fit the holder onto the camera back, making sure that the four Camera Back Mount Pins fit into the four openings of the holder. Do not touch the Light Baffle or mirror. Touching the Baffle could result in light leaking in or other malfunction.
4. Lock the holder to the camera body by moving the Slide Lock as far as it will go as indicated by the arrow. Make sure that the holder securely couples with the camera body; otherwise light may leak in and cause film damage. Because of the revolving back feature, attaching the roll film holder to the camera requires a little practice. We find that a good method is to place the bottom edge of the holder against the bottom edge of the body, (preferably while resting on a flat surface) letting the top of the holder leave a slight gap, permitting you look down and to match the two bottom mounting pins of the revolving back to the corresponding holes of the holder.

Place the Film Insert into the housing, making sure the film advance coupler of the insert fits into the appropriate hole of the cassette.
After correctly placing the insert into the housing, close the back cover, and while gently holding it in place, push both of the Back Cover Latches as far as they will go. The Roll Film Holder Housing will accept either 120 (HA703) or 220 (HB702) Film Inserts.

Advancing the Film

Before attempting to advance the film to the first frame, make sure the R-M Lever is set to its normal (center) position. If the lever is set to 'M'(multiple exposure), it will not be possible to advance the film with the Cocking Lever.
The film can be advanced in either of two ways.
A. By winding the Film Advance Knob of the Film Insert until it stops. B. By activating the Cocking Lever of the camera body several times, until it stops. (The lens shutter will not be cocked unless the Cocking Lever is moved all the way until it stops.
When the film is completely advanced, the numeral '1' will appear in the Exposure Counter, making the first frame ready for exposure. While advancing the film form S (start) to 1 with the Cocking Lever, the shutter releasing mechanism is automatically locked until the film is fully advanced to frame 1. Since there are vertical and horizontal exposure counter windows, an upright numeral can be seen with the Roll Film Holder in horizontal or vertical position.

Taking Photographs

Unloading Exposed Film
When the film is advanced to the next frame, the numeral in the Exposure Counter will automatically change.

CAUTION

120 or 220 film used in this roll film holder is, unlike 35 mm film, not perforated. Therefore, if it is advanced very rapidly, the spacing between frames may become uneven. So, be sure to gently operate the cocking lever with even strokes to maintain proper frame spacing. After an exposure is made, the automatic double exposure prevention mechanism blocks the shutter release until the film has been advanced. After completing the last exposure, press the Cocking Lever several times, until the film and backing paper have been completely wound onto the Take-up Spool. Instead of using the Cocking Lever, you can use the Film Advance Knob of the Film Insert, if you prefer.

Then open the back cover of the Film Holder and remove the Film Insert. While holding down the right-hand Spool Release Pin, remove the film, making sure that the backing paper does not unroll or become loose. To prepare for future use, remove the empty spool from the Film Insert and move it to the right-hand side so that it will act as the new Take-up Spool. When the back cover of the holder is opened, the Exposure Counter will automatically return to 'S' (Start).
If anything other than 'S' appears in the Exposure Counter, it indicates that there is film in the holder. To prevent accidental exposure of the film, always check the Exposure Counter before opening the back cover of the holder.
To process a partially exposed roll of film, first insert the Dark Slide and remove the holder. Next, while holding in the pin in the center of the coupler A, completely wind the film onto the Take-up Spool with the Film Advance Knob. Instead of continuously holding in the coupler pin, you can push it in once after each frame, if preferred.
Focusing and Locking the Focusing Knob
Focusing Locking the Focusing Knob
During exposures, the Dark Slide can be stored in the Dark Slide Slot in the back of the holder. The Memo Clip on the back cover can be used for holding the film box-top as a film reminder or for holding a piece of paper with pertinent data.
Depressing the Cocking Lever sets the mirror, projecting a bright image on the focusing screen. Focus by rotating either Focusing Knobs until the image appears sharp. Please use the large inner knob for fine focusing.
After adjusting the focus, focus shift can be prevented by locking the Focusing Knob with the Focusing Knob Lock Lever, which is located behind the left hand Focusing Knob. Simply raise the lever and push it forward, clamping the Focusing Knob in place.

Refocusing

If the focusing knob is moved accidentally while it was not locked the image may be out of focus. Also, be careful that you do not touch the focusing knob at the down stroke of the film transport lever.

The Revolving Back

The Vertical and Horizontal Formats Change in Viewfinder Format
Before attempting to revolve the back, set the R-M Lever to "R". To change from horizontal to vertical format, rotate the Film Holder clockwise as far as it will go. Rotating it counter-clockwise, changes the format from vertical back to horizontal. Revolve the back clockwise or counterclockwise until it securely clicks at a 90 turn. If the back is not in a "click position", the shutter release button will not function. The R-M Lever will automatically return from "R" to its normal position upon depressing the Cocking Lever or Shutter Release Button. However, as long as the R-M Lever remains at the "R" setting, the Film Holder can inadvertently be moved off-center. Therefore we recommend, returning the lever to its normal position (i.e., center index mark) immediately after revolving the back. As the revolving back is rotated, the viewfinder format automatically changes from horizontal to vertical, or vice versa. This is accomplished by viewfinder masks which are coupled to the revolving back. Additionally, when viewed from the top, a small rectangle appears at the upper edge of the Film Holder, Visible at a glance, this rectangle acts as a reminder, indicating whether the holder has been set for the vertical or horizontal format. * Be sure to rotate the Film Holder gently, as undue use of force can result in damage to the camera. *Do not revolve the back while pressing the shutter release button. When using a cable release or self-timer, the release end must be correctly adjusted; otherwise the shutter release button may remain depressed.

Since the shutter operates mechanically, not electronically during a time exposure, there is virtually no drain of battery power, and the shutter speed dial can be set in any position other than "RBL".
Multiple Exposures Infrared Photography
RZ lenses need no focusing mount because of the bellows feature. Normally, lenses with focusing mounts have a secondary index for infrared film. Therefore, if you want to do critical infrared photography, you should focus as usual and before exposures move the focus slightly towards the camera body, as per table below. There is a millimeter scale on top of the focus scale. RZ67 PRO II Infrared Correction Table Shows required adjustment at infinity
1. Set the R-M Lever to 'M' (multiple exposure). The lever can be 100 moved to 'M' either before or after releasing the shutter. 2. Press the Cocking Lever as far as it will go in order to cock the shutter and set the mirror. The film will not advance at this time. The shutter can now be released, creating a double exposure. This procedure can be repeated as often as desired to create as many exposures as necessary. When photographing the same subject two or more times though, exposure compensation is necessary. The same is true with different subjects that are all evenly illuminated. With subjects of different brightness, the darker one is normally photographed first. However, it is not within the scope of this operating manual to teach multiple exposure technique, as many excellent books dealing with this subject are already available.

CAUTION

Unlike the "R" lever, the "M" lever does not return automatically to its normal position. Therefore you must do it manually. If you forget, the film is not transported and not only are subsequent exposures wasted, but the planned multiple exposure also.

Mirror Lock-up Operation

With the RZ 67 PRO II , it is possible to lock the mirror in the up position beforehand, and at the desired instant release the shutter without the usual accompanying mirror movement. Referred to as, "mirror lock-up operation," this technique is extremely valuable when even the slightest mirror vibration must be eliminated. When the mirror rises, it usually causes vibrations the very instant before the shutter opens, creating a possible loss of sharpness when working at high magnifications or with long shutter speeds. Consequently, mirror lock-up operation is especially useful when engaging in close-up photography, using telephoto lenses, and making long ("slow") exposures. Yet another application is when trying to catch the peak of

action. By raising the mirror beforehand, the shutter can instantly be released, totally eliminating the time lag usually present between the time the mirror completes its upward swing and the time the shutter opens. 1. After screwing a cable release firmly into the Mirror Lock-up Socket of the lens, the socket will elevate slightly and the camera will be ready for mirror lock-up operation. 2. Press the Cocking Lever as far as it will go. Step 2 may either follow or precede step 1. 3. Depress the Shutter Release Button and the mirror will rise, but the shutter will remain closed. 4. Press the plunger of the cable release and the shutter will operate.
When you no longer need mirror lock-up operation, remove the cable release. Upon removing the release, the Mirror Lockup Socket will retract and the camera will return to normal shutter operation. If you complete step 3 above, but remove the cable release without making an exposure (step 4), the shutter will be released as soon as the cable release is removed. Even when using mirror lock-up operation, everytime the shutter is cocked, the mirror is relowered. Therefore, it is possible to check the viewfinder before each frame is exposed. A double cable release is both an available and convenient accessory. Since one end of the release screws into the Shutter Release Button and the other end into the Mirror Lock-up Socket, it is possible to use the same release to raise the mirror and later release the shutter. The double cable release is particularly valuable when using B exposures with mirror lock-up operation. After pressing the shutter release button to raise the mirror, detach the cable release from the mirror lock-up socket. At that instant the shutter will be released. -Continued on next page-
Flash Photography Using a Tripod

Attaching Flash Units

As long as a cable release remains attached to the Mirror Lock-up Socket, the camera is set for mirror lock-up operation. Consequently, it will not be possible to take a photography by merely pressing the shutter release button. It the red line around the Mirror Lock-up Socket is still visible when the cable release is removed, the camera is still set for mirror lockup operation. If such is the case, reattach the cable release, making sure that the socket retracts as you remove it once again. The shutter should be released with the cable release within 55 seconds of pressing the Shutter Release Button. If this is not done, the alarm will sound after 55 seconds later and continue for 5 seconds before stopping. If you release the shutter with the cable release after the alarm stops (approx. 60 seconds), the shutter speed will be 1/400sec. If you wish to use a shutter speed other than 1/400 sec. after the buzzer stops, follow the procedure for multiple exposure in the steps given below. 1. Set the R-M lever to "M" (multiple exposure),and press down the cocking lever. 2. Set the shutter speed dial to a desired speed and perform "mirror lock-up". 3. Reset the R-M lever to its normal position.

Using a Tripod

Compact, clip-on units can be attached directly to the Hot-Shoe of the camera. When using large, grip-type units, attach the sync cord of the flash to the Flash Sync Terminal (X-sync) of the lens. When the Mamiya MZ36R Flash is used, a green monitor lamp will glow, indicating that battery charging has been accomplished.

Determining the Aperture

When using automatic flash units, refer to the instructions of the particular flash units for the correct apertures to use. When using a manual electronic flash unit or flash bulbs, the guide number (G.N) divided by the subject distance gives the correct aperture to use.
NOTE: Flash time, recharging time and synchro polarity differ depending on the type of flash unit. Check performance by taking test photographs.
For optimum quality, use of a large, sturdy tripod is recommended. The Tripod Socket will accept standard size (U 1/4" thread) tripod screws without modification. Simply attach the RZ 67 as you would any other camera with standard threads. When using a tripod with a 3/8" screw, first remove the small screw in the base of the Tripod Socket of the camera by rotating it counterclockwise with an appropriately sized screwdriver. Next, use a coin to remove the 1/4" adapter A from the Tripod Socket by rotating it counterclockwise. The camera can then be mounted on a 3/8" screw tripod.

Close-up Photography

Exposure Compensation for Close-up Photography
When working very close to the subject, the exposure must be increased. The actual exposure factor will vary in accordance with the distance that the lens is extended. (Optical law: Light intensity decreases by the square of the distance from the film plane). Exposure compensation is easily determined by referring to the Exposure Compensation Scale. After focusing the lens, read the exposure compensation factor on the scale. The scale is divided into three zones of light, medium, and dark shades. As indicated by the table at the base of the scale, the light zone represents an exposure factor of zero (no compensation is necessary), the medium shaded zone indicates +0.5 (a 1/2 stop increase in exposure is required), while the dark zone denotes a factor of +1 (a full stop increase in exposure is necessary). To find the exposure factor, first locate the figure on the Focal Length Scale for the lens in use. Next, move along the scale, in the same column, until you reach the Distance Graduation. The shading of the zone (light, medium, dark) which touches the Distance Graduation indicates the correct exposure factor. For example, when the 110mm lens is focused as shown in the illustration, the correct exposure factor is +1. The scale curve for each lens has a white O mark which coincides with the right-hand lens indication. So, use the mark to find the corresponding scale curve for each lens. With a factor of +0.5, open the aperture by a half-stop. For example, assume that a hand-held exposure meter indicates a normal exposure reading of f /16 at 1/60 sec., for an exposure compensation of +1, set the lens to either f /16 at 1/30 sec. or f/11 at 1/60 sec. When using a Mamiya through-the-lens (TTL) Exposure Meter Finder, such as the RZ AE Prism Finder, it corrects automatically for close-up photography. For optimum sharpness at the corners when using the 50 mm and 65mm wide-angle lenses at distances closer than 1 meter, use as small an aperture as possible. The bellows extension in millimeters appears on the top of the Focal Length Scale. These figures are used to determine the required exposure compensation factor when using extension tubes. For areas covered with the bellows fully extended, see the instructions for all interchangeable lenses.

Attaching a Lens with Shutter Released or Mirror Raised
When a lens is removed from the camera body, the mirror is set (lowered) and the lens shutter cocked. Conversely, when attaching a lens, the same conditions should prevail (mirror set and shutter cocked). However, should a lens be attached with either the mirror raised or shutter released, or both, the camera can be reset by following the procedures below. 1. If the mirror is raised (regardless of whether the lens shutter is cocked or released), simply depress the Cocking Lever to reset the camera. 2. If mirror is set and lens shutter released (closed), remove the Dark Slide from Film Holder and depress the Shutter Release Button (film will not be exposed). Next, depress the Cocking Lever to reset the camera. 3. When a lens is removed from the camera both the mirror and the lens shutter are cocked, or they can't be separated. Elsewhere we explained how to uncock both. (For storage, for instance). 4. To rejoin them both have to be in a cocked state. To cock the camera (lowering the mirror), just activate the film advance lever, To cock lens shutter, follow instructions supplied with lenses.

How to Use the Carrying Strap

Attaching the Strap

Hold the metal clamp of the strap so that the key-hole shaped opening faces the Carrying Strap Lug on the camera body. Gently fit the upper part of the key-hole opening over the lug. Next, gently push the bottom of the metal clamp upwards and it will lock in place with a click.

Carrying Position

Since the Carrying Strap Lug is not rotary, the carrying strap will not become twisted.
If the clamp is attached to the Hot-Shoe side of the camera upside-down, it will be difficult to remove, so be careful to attach the clamp right-side-up.

Removing the Strap

Reach behind the strap and while gently squeezing the top of the protruding front plate (leaf spring), slide the clamp downward and off the lug.

Troubleshooting

Uniquely designed to prevent errors, the RZ67 incorporates 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.

The RZ PD Prism Finder will not function on the RZ II. It cannot be retrofitted.
2. Shutter Speed Selection
When a RB67 lens is mounted on the RZ PRO II body, use the Shutter Speed Ring of the lens for shutter speed selection. Be sure to set to the "RBL" position. Once this done all the other speed dial settings are immobilized. The shutter is cocked and released in the same manner as RZ series lenses. When using a Mamiya Sekor C lens for the RB series on the RZ PRO II body, be sure to insert an optional interchange mounting ring into the lens rear mount to assure correct coupling with the camera body. Older RB Lenses should be checked before use, to determine if their shutter torque is compatible with the RZ PRO II. Before try ing, please send such lenses to the service department of your country's Mamiya distributor.

Care of the Camera

Handling Camera
As your camera is a precision instrument avoid exposing it to severe vibrations or shock. Be careful when interchanging lenses and film holders. Use the neckstrap whenever possible.

Proper Maintenance

The Mamiya RZ PRO II is designed for heavy professional use and will last indefinitely, if properly maintained. Every camera has mechanisms like film transport, shutter, diaphragm blade etc. They are controlled by gears. levers, springs, rollers, etc., which are subject to wear and tear and also require special lubrication from time to time. Ambient conditions like dust. sea air and moisture can also affect these mechanisms. To uncock the mirror and the lens shutter, remove the lens from the cocked camera. Press the release button and the mirror will go up and stay up. To release shutter of cocked lens, see instructions on page 13. We recommend that the camera body should be serviced at least about every 50,000 exposures (about 5000 rolls of 120 film): your roll film holders about every 20,000 exposures; your leaf shutter lenses about every 10, 000 exposures. Please contact the Mamiya Distributor in your country for service information.

Storage

When not used for a long period of time remove the battery and film from the camera and keep mirror and shutters in uncocked state. Avoid storing the camera and lenses in humid or sea air atmosphere or in extreme hot or cold environment. Periodically exercise film transport and shutters by making a number of blind exposures at various shutter speeds and f/stops.

Cleaning

Never touch the lens or mirror surfaces. If a lens needs cleaning, use a blower or lens tissue to remove dust particles. Never use anything other than a blower for the mirror, as its surface should never be touched.

Periodic Examination

Periodically check the camera to make sure it is in working order. This is especially important before beginning a photographic session or assignment. Check the battery, flash synchronization, mirror and shutter operation, diaphragm automation, and film advance. Also check any accessories you plan to use.

If the Pro Back/Pro Back Plus issues a shutter release command and a lens shutter opening is not detected, the LCD displays the error message "Lens error: No sync detected!". If this error message appears when using your MAMIYA RZ67 PRO II, check for the following: The Lens Sync Cable is not connected between the MAMIYA lens Flash Sync Terminal and the Pro Back/Pro Back Pluss Lens Sync Cable jack. The MAMIYA Interface Plate's Cable Release is not plugged into the RZ67 PRO II camera body's auxiliary release jack. See step 3 on the previous page. The MAMIYA Interface Plate's Release button does not have its two white dots aligned. See "Electromagnetic Cable Release" on the next page. The MAMIYA RZ67 PRO II camera body has not been wound. Push the Cocking Lever all the way down. The MAMIYA RZ67 PRO II camera body R-M lever is not in the M position. See step 6 above. The MAMIYA RZ67 PRO II camera body's Shutter Speed dial is at the AEF setting and an AE viewfinder is not installed, or the dial is at the RBL setting and an RB lens is not installed. The Shutter Release collar is in the Emergency Shutter Operation position. Lock the Shutter Release Button as described in step 5 above.

Release Button

The Release button is a two-step position button. Each position provides a different function. Lightly press the Release button halfway down to collect photometric data. Press the button fully down to perform a shutter release.
When the two white dots are aligned, the ring is in the correct position for metering and shutter release. When taking long time (LT) exposures in Bulb mode, lock the Release button by turning the outer ring clockwise and aligning the orange dot with the white dot. The Shutter release locks. To disengage a locked Shutter release, turn the ring counterclockwise and return the orange dot to its original position. NOTE: We do not recommend Pro Back/Pro Back Plus exposures that exceed 1/4 second shutter times.
