The shutter release button has two positions. Pressing it down halfway (first position) turns on the exposure meter and autofocus system. Pressing it fully (second position) releases the shutter. When taking a picture, press the shutter release button gently to prevent camera shake. Before loading a roll of film, slowly press the shutter release button to learn where the first position is. The LCD indication stays on for about 10 seconds after the button is released from the halfway position. The timer duration of the LCD indication can be changed from the initial 10 seconds to 20 or 30 seconds with Pentax function No.2 See page 78.
Pressure plate Start mark (p.22) After loading the film, be sure to set the proper film speed. See page 24 for setting the film speed.

Not pressed

pressed halfway down (first position)
pressed fully down (second position)
1. Install an empty to the spool retainer as illustrated. 2. Tear off the tape and install the spool to the film holder so that the black inner side of the leader must face outwards.
3. Draw the leader from the film roll, and insert the leader paper tip into the take-up spool's slit. 4. Slowly rotate the film winding gear in the direction of the arrow while lightly holding the leader paper.
Start mark 5. Wind the leader paper onto the take-up spool until the arrow on the leader paper aligns the holder's start mark S and the red line. 6. Attach the film holder into the camera body. 7. Set the main switch to [ON]. Press the stutter release button. The film automatically advances to the first frame. B is displayed on the LCD panel. 8. If A appears, it indicates that the film is not properly loaded. Detach the film holder from the camera and load the film once again.
Always load or unload a film in the shade or by using your body to shade the film holder. We suggest that you first operate the camera without a film to become familiar with its operations. The film counter indication advances one each time the shutter is released. With a 220 film loaded, the dot marks appear before the arrow marking. If the dot marks align the start mark on the film holder, the first 3 frames will not be exposed. The film counter indication can be set with Pentax Function No.7 to either count forward or backward each frame. If the leader paper is wound far over the start mark S or the red line, you may lose the last frame(s) on the roll. The film holder cannot be changed or removed when the film is in mid-roll. 15 pictures are taken with a 120 roll film and 32 pictures are taken with a 220 roll film. The number of pictures taken can be changed with Pentax function No.9. With the main switch set to U, the PCV signal beeps for two second when the film is left only one frame for film depleting warning

3. Turn the fixing screw to the right with a coin or similar object. When using accessories such as the Refconverter 645, remove the eyecup first. When turning the fixing screw with a coin, a large diameter coin is recommended to use. A small diameter coin touches the glass part of the eyepiece and causes scratching the eyepiece glass.
Adjusting the Viewfinder Diopter
The diopter adjustment range is +1.0D to -3.5-1m (per meter).
Aim the camera at a bright subject. While looking through the viewfinder, turn the diopter adjustment ring to the left or right until the autofocus frame l appears in the sharpest focus.
BASIC OPERATION (SHOOTING)
II. BASIC OPERATION (SHOOTING)
Using the Programmed AE Mode
Purpose For easy picture taking, use this mode. In the Programmed AE mode, the camera automatically selects the best combination of aperture and shutter speed settings allowing you to take pictures by simply pressing the shutter release button. To set 1. Turn the lens aperture ring to the b position as shown in the illustration. To move the lens aperture ring to the b position, turn the aperture ring while holding down the aperture-A lock button on the lens. The lens aperture ring can be released from the b position in the same manner.
2. Turn the shutter speed dial to b while holding down the shutter speed dial release button. The shutter speed dial can be released from b in the same manner. You can shift the program line of Programmed AE Mode with Pentax Function No.6. See page 80 for more details. See page 44, 46, 48, and 50 for other available exposure modes.
Using the Multi(6)-Segment Metering Mode
In the multi(6)-segment metering mode, the metering system automatically measures light in six different zones, enabling proper exposure in a wide variety of normal and adverse lighting conditions. Set the metering mode switch to L. The center-weighted metering mode and spot metering mode are also available in this camera. See page 55 and 56 for more details. When the Adapter 645 for 67 lens or Helicoid Extension Tube 645 attached, the center-weighted metering mode is automatically set even if you select the multi-segment metering mode. The multisegment mode cannot be used.
MULTI(6)-SEGMENT METERING This camera incorporates a high-precision six-segment TTL metering system. Light values are measured in six segments within the image field, enabling an optimal exposure to be made under a variety of lighting conditions. With conventional averaged metering systems, underexposure of the subject results from the brightness of the background affecting the overall metering. With multi(6)-segment metering, the camera records the brightness in six zones within the image field and uses these measurements to choose an exposure that will not underexpose the subject. The multi(6)-segment metering system also calculates exposure values for a scene to automatically compensate for high-contrast and other difficult lighting conditions. Even a beginner can achieve excellent results with ease.

Using Autofocus Mode

Switching between the autofocus mode and manual focus mode depends on the lens you use. For more details, read the operating manual of the lens. The camera does not provide the switch for switching between the autofocus mode and manual mode.
With the Pentax 645 FA lens attached, the lens automatically focuses when you press the shutter release button halfway down. Set the lens in the autofocus mode.

Using the Single AF Mode

Continuous AF Mode is also available in this camera. See page 58.
When you press the shutter button, the lens automatically focuses. As soon as the subject is in focus, the shutter is released. For normal use, select this position. The shutter cannot be released if the subject is out of focus. Set the AF mode selector to z.
Using the 3-Point AF Mode
Using the Single-Frame Drive Mode
In the 3-point autofocus system, the subject will be focused properly even if the main subject is slightly off-center of the AF frame. Set the AF mode selector to l.
One picture is taken each time the shutter release button is pressed. Set the drive mode dial to O.

Holding the Camera

Camera held horizontally Camera held vertically
For best results, be sure to hold the camera correctly as shown in the illustrations. Hold the camera firmly, with your left hand supporting the camera and lens as shown in the illustrations. While taking a picture, hold your breath and gently press the shutter release button. (Sudden force on the shutter release button will cause camera shake, making the picture blurred.)
To reduce camera shake, support your body or the camera on a solid object - a table, tree, or a wall for instance. Although there are individual differences among photographers, in general the shutter speed with a handheld camera is lower than the inverse of the focal length. For example, 1/75 second when the focal length is 75mm, and 1/150 second when the focal length is 75mm, and 1/150 second when it is 150mm. A tripod should be used for shutter speeds slower than this. When using an ultra-telephoto lens, a tripod that is heavier than the total weight of the camera and lens is recommended to avoid camera shake. This camera has provided two tripod sockets for vertical and horizontal format positions. When a tripod is used, use of an optional Cable SW CS105/CS-130 or Cable Release is also recommended.

Taking a Picture

When the shutter release button is pressed halfway down, the shutter speed and aperture setting are displayed in the viewfinder. Select the Spot AF Mode to critically focus on a specific spot of the subject. See details on page 59. When the subject is in focus, the audible PCV signal can be emitted. See details on page 14. During autofocus operation, the focusing ring should not be obstructed with your fingers, hands, or any other object. The focus indicator u blinks when the camera is not able to obtain proper focus for one of the following reasons. 1. The subject is too close. Adjust the camera to subject distance. 2. The subject is difficult to autofocus. See "HARD-TO-AUTOFOCUS" on page 63.

Set the lens to the autofocus position. 1. Focus on the subject with the 3-point AF frame l. When the shutter release button is pressed halfway down, the lens automatically focuses. 2. When the subject is in focus, the focus indicator u lights up. 3. To release the shutter, gently press the shutter release button fully.
The shutter cannot be released if the subject is out of focus. The film counter indication advances each time the shutter is released. Press the shutter release button halfway down. While is on, the camera-to-subject distance is fixed (focus lock). To refocus on another subject, lift your finger off the shutter release button. If the drive mode switch is set to the ConsecutiveFrame Mode with the Single AF Mode set, the camera focuses only the first picture. From the second picture, the pictures are taken consecutively with the focus locked at the first picture.

Selecting a Drive Mode

ADVANCED OPERATIONS

III. ADVANCED OPERATIONS

Consecutive-Frame Mode Consecutive pictures can be taken by holding down the shutter release button. Set the drive mode selector to P. if the AF mode selector is set to [S]. the camera focuses only the first picture. From the second picture, the pictures are taken consecutively with the focus locked at the first picture.
Self-Timer Mode The self-timer mode delays the shutter release, and is useful for taking group shots that include the photographer. The shutter will be released about 12 seconds after the shutter release button is pressed. 1. Set the drive mode selector to r. 2. Focus on the subject first using the autofocus frame and by pressing the shutter release button halfway down. Then press the shutter release button fully.
The shutter will be released about 12 seconds later. When the Self-Timer is in operation. The audible PCV signal is heard and the rate increases for the last two seconds. To cancel the Self-Timer operation after it has been activated, move the drive mode selector to a position other than r or set the main switch to the OFF position. The Self-Timer delay time can be set to 12 sec. or 2 sec. (with mirror lock-up) with Pentax Function No. 4.

Multiplex Exposure Mode

Procedure 1. Turn the multi-exposure switch in the direction of the arrow until it locks. 2. The frame counter on the LCD panel blinks.
3. Press the shutter release button to shoot an initial exposure. The film will not advance.
4. Return the multi-exposure switch to the original position to cancel the multi-exposure mode. Notes: To exposure the triple shot, leave the multi-exposure switch in the lock position and shoot the second shot. Then return the multi-exposure switch to the original position. The film does not advance at this stage. Press the shutter release button to shoot the third shot. The film will advance and the Single-Frame shooting will be restored.

3. Set the desired f-stop. 4. The f-stop that you have selected and appropriate aperture indication determined by the camera can be seen in the viewfinder when the shutter release button is pressed halfway. The approximate aperture indication appears in the viewfinder. It may not the same indication as that you selected with the lens aperture ring especially when the A645 150mm f/3.5 or A 645 4582mm Zoom f/4.5 is attached.
* Exposure Warning If the subject is too bright or too dark, the selected shutter speed will blink in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel as a warning as shown. When the subject is too bright, choose a smaller aperture, if available; when it is too dark, choose a larger aperture, if available. When the shutter speed indication stops blinking, you can take the picture. If both shutter and aperture blink, it means that the exposure is out of metering range and unable to obtain a correct exposure even if the aperture is adjusted. Select a darker subject if it is too bright, or use a flash if it is too dark.
Using the Shutter-Priority AE Mode Purpose When the desired shutter is selected, the appropriate aperture is automatically set by the camera for a proper exposure according to the brightness of the subject. This mode is suitable for freezing the action with a fast shutter speed or capturing a flowing dynamic image with a slow shutter speed.
To set 1. Set the lens aperture ring to b. 2. Set the shutter speed dial to a shutter speed other than b. To set the shutter speed dial to a position other than b, turn the shutter speed dial while holding down the shutter speed dial lock button. 3. Set the shutter speed dial to the desired shutter speed.
4. The shutter speed dial between 1/1000 to 4S can be set to 1/2 step by pressing the up/down button. The set shutter speed will be displayed on the LCD panel and in the viewfinder. If the shutter speed does not change to 1/2 step, confirm Pentax Function No. 1 When the shutter release button is pressed halfway down, the shutter speed and the aperture value will be displayed in the viewfinder. In flash photography, when you use flash sync shutter speed of 1/60 second or a non-dedicated external flash unit, set the shutter speed dial to the e (1/60 of second ) position.
* Exposure Warning If the subject is too bright or too dark, the shutter speed and aperture setting in the viewfinder blink. When the subject is too bright, choose a faster shutter speed. When the shutter speed indication stops blinking, you can take the picture. If both selected shutter speed and aperture blink, it means that the exposure is out of metering range and unable to obtain a correct exposure even if the shutter speed is adjusted. Select a darker subject if the subject is too bright. Use a flash if it is too dark.

The camera automatically measures the exposure for each shot. The focus is locked at the first picture and remains locked until all pictures are taken. If you let go of the shutter release button during auto bracketing, the auto-bracketing will remain effective until the viewfinder indication goes off. After that, the camera returns to the shooting status before the first frame was taken. Auto Bracketing Exposure Mode combined with the Exposure Compensation function. You can combine the auto bracketing exposure mode with the exposure compensation function. The auto-bracketing will work in accordance with the exposure compensation value set. Auto Bracketing Exposure Mode combined with the Metered Manual Mode. You can combine the auto Bracketing exposure mode with the metered manual mode (except X sync speed). The auto-bracketing will work with changing only the shutter speed. The bar graph of the metered manual mode is only displayed in the viewfinder. The bar graph of the exposure compensation value is not displayed.
1. Set the auto bracketing selector to the desired exposure compensation value. 2. Press the shutter release button fully. Three pictures are taken consecutively according to the auto-bracketing switch you have set. Three pictures are taken consecutively as follows. First picture: Correct exposure Second picture: Underexposure Third picture: Overexposure The sequence of the auto bracketing exposures can be changed with Pentax Function No.3.
Switching the Metering Mode
The Spot metering or Center-Weighted metering mode can also be selected in this camera. Select the desired metering mode with the metering mode selector. Using the Center-Weighted Metering Mode This metering system does not automatically compensate for backlit or spotlit scenes like the Multi(6)Segment Metering Mode. Creative exposure control is decided by the user. To set Set the metering mode selector to the J position.
The metering pattern in the illustration above shows that the upper part of the pattern (in the center of the viewfinder) has more sensitivity to light than the lower part. In this metering mode, the camera does not automatically compensate the exposure in backlit or spotlighted scenes like the Multi (6)-Segment Mode. Creative exposure control is decided by the user.

Metering area Using the Spot Metering Mode The Spot Metering Mode measures light only in the small area in the center of the viewfinder. To set 1. Set the metering mode selector to I. 2. Measure the small area of the viewfinder as illustrated. If brightness is much different between the center and the other area of the photograph, exposure should be determined in consideration of the overall brightness. Otherwise, the picture will come out improperly exposed.

Using AE Lock

As soon as the AE lock button W is pressed, and the camera stores the measured exposure level for 20 seconds. The AE lock function remains while the AE lock button is pressed. If the shutter release button is pressed halfway down while the AE lock timer is operating, the memorized meter reading will remain even if the AE lock button is released. The AE lock function cannot be used when the camera is set in the Metered Manual Mode. The AE lock function memorizes an exposure before shooting. The AE lock function is very effective when used along with the spot metering. Use the AE lock function to get a correct exposure when the subject occupies only a small part of the viewfinder. Position the area to be measured in the spot metering area and press the AE lock button. The exposure level is memorized and n is displayed in the viewfinder. How to cancel To cancel the AE lock function, press the AE lock button again.
Setting the Focus Mode Switch to the Continuous Position
Predictive Autofocus Mode When the camera senses subject movement during the autofocus operation, the camera will automatically switch the focus mode to the predictive autofocus mode to measure the speed of a moving subject, and predict where it will be at the moment of shutter release to maintain sharp focus on the subject. If the subject is moving too fast, the shutter may not be released.
If the shutter release button is held at the halfway position, the lens focuses continuously to follow the subject. The shutter can be released even if the subject is out of focus. Set the focus mode switch to h.

When the exposure compensation is not enabled, E is imprinted. The exposure compensation Exposure compensation value value for the auto bracketing is also imprinted. If both auto-bracketing and exposure compensation are used, the sum is imprinted.
