WARNING: These precautions, if not followed, could result in serious injury to the operator.

• Wrapping the strap around your neck is dangerous. Make sure that small children do not get the strap caught around their neck.

• Do not look directly at the sun through the camera, as viewing the sun for an extended period may damage your eyes.

CAUTION: These precautions, if not followed, could result in minor or medium injury to the operator or damage to the equipment.

• Never try to disassemble, short or recharge the battery. Also, do not dispose of the battery in fire, as it may explode.

• Remove the batteries from the camera immediately if they become hot or begin to smoke. Be careful not to burn yourself during removal.

• Do not use the camera where it may come in contact with rain, water, or any other liquid, because the camera is not weather, water, or liquid resistant. Should the camera get wet from rain, splashing water, or any other liquid, wipe it off immediately with a dry soft cloth.

• Do not drop the camera or allow it to hit solid objects. If the camera suffers a shock or impact, take it to a Pentax service center for inspection.

• Be careful not to subject the camera to strong vibrations, shock or pressure. Use a cushion to protect the camera when carrying it in a motorcycle, car, boat, etc.

• Condensation on the interior or exterior of the camera may be extremely harmful to the camera mechanism as it may cause rust. If the camera is taken from warm temperature to subfreezing or vice versa, the formation of condensation may cause damage. In such case, put the camera into a case or plastic bag so that any changes in temperature difference is minimized. Do not remove it from the bag until temperature has stabilized.

• Avoid leaving the camera for extended periods in places where the humidity and temperature are very high, such as in a car.

• Do not store the camera in a closet with mothballs or in an area where chemicals are handled. Store it in a place with good dry air circulation to prevent the growth of fungus.

• Never touch the shutter curtain or mirror with your finger or any other object.

• Use a blower and lens brush to remove dust accumulated on the lens or viewfinder.

• Never use solvents such as paint thinner, alcohol or benzene to clean the camera.

• Electrical problems may often be caused by water, dirt or dust at points of electrical contact. Also check for battery leakage, traces of dirt of grease, or corrosion due to salinity or gas. If you cannot correct the problems, have your camera inspected at a Pentax service center. Repairs of this nature are not covered under the terms of the warranty and charges may be assessed.

The temperature range at which this camera functions properly is 50 °C to −10 °C (122 °F to 14 °F).

A camera which has been submerged in water usually cannot be repaired. If such an accident should occur, it is advisable to contact a Pentax Service Center immediately.

To maintain optimum performance, it is recommended that the camera be inspected every one or two years. If the camera has not been used for an extended period, or is being prepared for an important photographic session, it is recommended that you have the camera inspected or test shoot with it.

• Use two CR123A lithium batteries.

• Do not store the camera in a closet with mothballs or in an area where chemicals are handled. Store batteries in a place with good dry air circulation to prevent the growth of fungus.

• Misuse of the battery can cause hazards such as leakage, overheating, explosion, etc. The battery should be inserted with the “+” and “–” sides facing correctly.

• Battery performance may be temporarily hindered in low temperatures, but will recover in normal temperatures.

• Keep spare batteries on hand for convenient replacement when shooting outdoors or while traveling.

• Replace the batteries at the same time. Do not mix battery brands, types, or old batteries with new ones, as this may cause explosion or overheating.

• The ISO film speed and number of exposed frames are unchanged even if the batteries are replaced.

• The batteries included in this package are sample batteries. Therefore, you may not be able to take the number of pictures shown in the battery life estimates.

1. Load the Batteries: Remove the battery chamber cover and load two CR123A batteries.

2. Attach the Lens: Align the red dots on the camera and lens mount, attach the lens to the camera body, and turn it to the right until it locks.

3. Set the F-Stop: Set the lens aperture ring to the desired f-stop.

4. Turn the Power On: Set the main switch to ON.

5. Set the Film Speed: Adjust the film speed using the film speed set lever and film speed set button.

6. Turn the Shutter Speed Dial to A: Turn the dial while holding down the lock button. This sets the Aperture-Priority AE Mode.

7. Set Exposure Compensation to 0: Turn the exposure compensation dial to the 0 position.

8. Set the Multi (6)-Segment Metering Mode: Set the metering mode selector to the segmented icon.

9. Load Film: Open the back cover and load the film correctly.

10. Adjust the Focus and Take a Picture: Depress the shutter release button gently to take a picture.

1. Press the lock plate of the clasp in the direction of the arrow with a coin or similar object.

2. Place the clasp onto the strap lug with the part indicated by the arrow enclosed by the dotted line facing out.

3. Return the lock plate to the original position. It will securely attach to the strap lug.

• Adjust the length of the strap with the buckle.

• After fitting the strap and adjusting the length, pull the strap hard to confirm that the strap is securely attached to the camera.

• The strap has a pocket for carrying small goods.

• To remove the strap, slide the lock plate with a coin or similar object as shown in step 1.

1. Remove the battery chamber cover with a coin or similar object.

2. Load two 3V lithium batteries (CR123A or the equivalent) ensuring the “+” and “-” ends are oriented correctly as shown in the illustration.

3. Turn the battery chamber cover in the direction of the arrow to lock it securely.

• If any indicators are not displayed on the LCD panel even though a battery is loaded, confirm that the battery chamber cover is closed at the correct angle.

• Do not replace the battery while winding up the film. If you do so, the film counter on LCD panel advances by two from the current display and the number of pictures that can be taken decreases by one.

• Do not wind up the film when the battery is not loaded in the camera. The space between frames may increase causing the number of pictures that can be taken to decrease.

Battery life using new batteries, based on Pentax testing conditions:

[20°C]

120 film	Approx. 500 rolls
220 film	Approx. 250 rolls
Bulb exposure time	Approx. 13 hours

[-20°C]

120 film	Approx. 250 rolls
220 film	Approx. 120 rolls
Bulb exposure time	Approx. 6 hours

• Actual battery life and performance may vary drastically depending on external conditions such as temperature and freshness of the battery.

• Battery performance may be temporarily hindered in low temperatures, but should recover in normal temperatures. Also, the number of pictures that can be taken decreases in low temperatures.

Set the main switch to ON to turn the power on. Set the main switch to L to turn the power off. When the camera is not in use, make sure that the main switch is set to L to prevent battery drain if the shutter release button is accidentally depressed.

• When the batteries are nearly exhausted, the low battery warning icon appears on the LCD panel. Replace the batteries as soon as possible.

• Even if the low battery warning icon appears, exposure will be correct as long as the shutter can be released.

• When the low battery warning icon starts blinking, the indicators on the LCD panel disappear and the shutter cannot be released. Also, you may not be able to wind up the film at its beginning and end.

• Do not wind up the film when the low battery warning icon is blinking. The end of the film cannot be detected properly.

• Do not replace the battery while winding up the film. If you do so, the film counter on LCD panel advances by two from the current display and the number of pictures that can be taken decreases by one.

1. Remove the body mount cap by turning it in the direction of the arrow.

2. Align the red dots on the camera and lens mount.

3. Attach the lens to the camera body, and turn it fully to the right until you hear a click.

• See the operation manual “INTERCHANGEABLE LENSES” for 67 lenses when attaching or removing an outer bayonet lens for a large lens.

• Do not operate the lens release lever when attaching the lens. Doing so may result in the lens not being able to be attached to the camera properly.

• To remove the front lens cap, squeeze the tabs on both sides in the direction of the arrow.

To remove the lens, turn it to the left while depressing the lens release lever. To protect the lens against damage after removal, be sure to set the lens down with the mount side facing upward.

The shutter release button has two positions:

• Pressed halfway down (first position): Turns the indicators in the viewfinder on.

• Pressed fully down (second position): Releases the shutter.

• To prevent the camera shake, depress the shutter release button gently.

• Before loading a roll of film, slowly depress the shutter release button to learn where the first position is.

• The indicators in the viewfinder stay on for about 10 seconds after the button is released from the halfway position. Depressing the shutter release button down halfway keeps the indicators in the viewfinder on.

Four types of optional interchangeable viewfinders are available:

• AE Pentaprism Finder 67 II

• Pentaprism Finder 67 II

• Folding Focusing Hood 67 II

• Rigid Magnifying Hood 67 II

• When the AE Pentaprism Finder 67II is attached to the 67 II camera, the Aperture-Priority AE Mode and the Metered Manual Mode are usable.

• The Pentaprism Finder, Folding Focusing Hood or Rigid Magnifying Hood used for the original 67 camera can also be attached to the 67 II camera.

• The TTL Pentaprism Finder used for the original 67 camera cannot be used on the 67 II camera.

Attaching:

1. Remove the cover (if present) from the camera body’s viewfinder mount.

2. Place the viewfinder on the upper part of the camera as illustrated.

3. Press it down until it clicks two times.

• Note: When the AE Pentaprism Finder is not attached properly, [PErr] may appear on the LCD panel.

Detaching:

1. Turn the viewfinder unlock button in the direction of the arrow to align the red dots on the camera.

2. Depress the viewfinder unlock button to remove the viewfinder.

1. Depress the film speed set button (located on the bottom of the camera). The ISO indicator on the LCD panel blinks.

2. While depressing the film speed set button, move the film speed set lever (located near the shutter speed dial) to change the film speed.

• To change the film speed to a larger number (higher film speed), move the lever toward the front repeatedly until the desired ISO appears on the LCD panel.

• To change the film speed to a smaller number (lower film speed), move the lever toward the back repeatedly until the desired ISO appears on the LCD panel.

• Holding the lever will change the film speed continuously.

• The film speed setting range is ISO 6 to 6400 in 1/3 EV step increments.

• ISO and film speed are always displayed on the LCD panel when the main switch is set to the ON position.

Be sure to set the proper film speed before the film is loaded.

1. Open the back cover by sliding the back cover release lever.

2. Depress and shift the pressure plate according to the film type (120 or 220) you use. The pressure plate you set will be indicated in the film type indicator.

3. Unfold the crank of the film spool retainer knob (on the take-up side), turn the knob to the left and pull down.

4. Install the emptied spool (from the previous roll) onto the spool retainer as illustrated.

5. Push in the film spool retainer knob and turn it to the right (direction of the arrow) to lock it. If the film spool retainer knob does not fit in the proper position, turn the spool slightly.

6. Unfold the crank of the other film spool retainer knob (supply side), turn it left and pull down.

7. Tear off the tape from the new film roll. Install the film roll onto the spool retainer so that the letters on the leader paper are facing outwards. Lock the retainer knob as in step 5.

8. Turn the wind lever until the slot of the empty take-up spool faces upward.

9. Draw the film leader from the film roll, and insert the tip of the leader into the take-up spool’s slit.

10. Turn the wind lever while lightly pressing the film leader to ensure it winds evenly onto the take-up spool.

11. Turn the wind lever until the arrow marking on the leader paper aligns with the ▼ mark on the camera body.

12. Close the back cover. Keep turning the wind lever until the wind lever stops. The film counter indicator (0), film type (120 or 220), film symbol (FILM), and wind indicator (arrow) will appear on the LCD panel. The film advance indicator ‘1’ appears on the LCD panel when the film is properly loaded.

13. (Optional) Tear off the end cover of the film package indicating the type of film and speed and insert it into the memo holder provided on the back cover.

Notes & Cautions:

• Film drag will occur or the end of the film cannot be detected when the 220 pressure plate is set for a 120 film. Imprecise focusing will occur or the number of pictures that can be taken decreases when the 120 pressure plate is set for a 220 film.

• If a battery is not loaded, the spool will not turn even if the wind lever is turned.

• When the film does not advance even if the wind lever is turned, turn the wind lever twice after closing the back cover. Then release the shutter, open the back cover and repeat the film winding procedure from step 9 (inserting leader).

• CAUTION: Align the start mark of the film and the ▼ mark of the camera as shown in step 11. With a 220 film loaded, a dotted line appears before the start mark; do not align this line with the ▼ mark, as it may result in the first three frames not being exposed.

• The film counter indicator is also displayed in the viewfinder.

• Always load/unload the film in the shade or using your body to shade the film holder.

• We suggest that you first operate the camera with no film loaded to become familiar with its operations.

• The film counter indicator advances by one each time the film is wound. The LCD panel indicator is displayed even when the camera is turned off.

• Always keep the surface of the pressure plate clean as dust and smudges may cause scratches on the film. Wipe clean with a dry cloth.

• If the start mark on the leader paper is not set correctly with the ▼ mark, you may lose the first or last frame(s).

• 10 pictures are taken with the 120 film and 21 pictures are taken with the 220 film (or 20 with older 220 film).

• If you open the back cover when there is no film loaded, you have to cock the shutter twice to release the shutter.

• To release the shutter with the back cover opened, cock the shutter while holding down the multi-exposure lever.

1. After the last frame of the roll is exposed, the film advance indicator (arrow) and film counter (e.g., [10] or [21]) on the LCD panel blink.

2. Wind the film advance lever. The film speed indicator will disappear. Repeat winding the film several times to wind the trailing leader paper onto the take-up spool.

3. Continue winding until [End] appears on the LCD panel.

4. Confirm that [End] is displayed on the LCD panel. Open the back cover (always in the shade or using your body to shade).

5. Unfold the crank of the film spool retainer knob (take-up side), turn the knob to the left and pull down to release the exposed roll.

6. Fold the end of the leader paper and then affix the paper seal securely on the back of the paper leader to prevent accidental unwinding of the exposed roll. Move the empty spool to the take-up side for the next roll.

Aim the camera at a bright subject. While looking through the viewfinder, turn the diopter adjustment dial (located next to the eyepiece) to the left or right until the microprism grid (center focusing aid) appears in the sharpest focus.

• The diopter adjustment range is +1.5 m⁻¹ to -2.5 m⁻¹ (per meter).

• Be sure to adjust the diopter before use.

1. Turn the rubberized eyepiece frame to the left and remove it.

2. Install the desired correction lens as illustrated.

• The diopter adjustment range can be changed from -5.5 to −1.5 or –0.5 to +3.5 by changing the optional correction lenses.

In Aperture-Priority AE mode, you select the desired aperture (f-stop), and the camera automatically sets the appropriate shutter speed for proper exposure.

1. Set the lens aperture ring to the desired f-stop.

2. Turn the shutter speed dial while holding down the shutter speed dial lock button until ‘A’ aligns with the index mark.

• The shutter speed dial can be released from ‘A’ to another position in the same manner (holding the lock button).

• The Aperture-Priority AE Mode does not operate unless the AE Pentaprism Finder 67II is attached.

• When the shutter speed dial is set to ‘A’ without attaching the AE Pentaprism Finder 67II, the shutter speed will be set at 1/30 of a second.

Set the metering mode selector (located on the AE Pentaprism Finder 67II) to the Multi-Segment icon (looks like a rectangle divided into sections). The Multi-Segment icon will be displayed in the viewfinder.

• In this mode, the metering system measures light in six different zones within the image field, enabling proper exposure value calculation in a wide variety of normal and adverse lighting conditions, compensating for high-contrast scenes automatically.

• The Center-Weighted Metering Mode and Spot Metering Mode are also available.

• When the lens is stopped down (e.g., using non-auto diaphragm lenses or for depth-of-field preview), the exposure metering mode automatically defaults to Center-Weighted Metering Mode, even if the selector is set to Multi (6)-Segment Metering Mode.

For best results, hold the camera correctly as shown in the illustrations (horizontally or vertically). Hold the camera firmly, with your left hand supporting the camera body and lens. While taking a picture, hold your breath and gently depress 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 wall for instance.

• 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.

• As a general guideline for hand-holding, the shutter speed should be the inverse of the focal length (e.g., 1/75 sec for 75mm, 1/150 sec for 150mm). Use a tripod for shutter speeds slower than this.

• When the tripod is used, use of an optional Cable Release is recommended.

Look through the viewfinder and use either the Microprism field or the Matte field for focusing:

• Microprism field (Center circle ①): Turn the focusing ring on the lens until the image on the microprism appears sharp and crisp (the shimmering or broken pattern disappears).

• Matte field (Surrounding area ②): Turn the focusing ring until the image on the matte field appears sharp and crisp.

• While looking through the viewfinder, turn the focusing ring to the right or left until the image appears sharp and crisp.

• Adjust the diopter before use if the view from the viewfinder is not clear.

• An interchangeable focusing screen is available.

1. Depress the shutter release button halfway down. The shutter speed and film counter indicator will be displayed in the viewfinder.

2. Cock the shutter using the wind lever.

3. Depress the shutter release button fully to take the picture.

You can also display the indicators in the viewfinder by pressing the memory lock button (ML). This is particularly useful when you are using a Cable Release. However, be aware that if you press the memory lock button (ML) while in Aperture-Priority AE Mode, the memory lock function will be set. If this happens, press the memory lock button (ML) again to cancel it before taking a picture.

When the shutter is in the uncocked position, the film advance indicator (an arrow symbol) appears on the LCD panel, indicating that the film needs to be wound (shutter cocked).

Do not try to cock the shutter when the film advance indicator (arrow symbol) is not displayed on the LCD panel. This indicates the shutter is already cocked or another condition prevents winding.

The Self-Timer Mode delays the shutter release by about 12 seconds, useful for group shots that include the photographer.

1. Set the main switch to the Self-Timer symbol (marked with a clock icon).

2. Focus on the subject.

3. Depress the shutter release button fully. The shutter will be released after approximately 12 seconds.

When the self-timer is in operation, an audible PCV signal is heard. The rate of this signal increases for the last two seconds before the shutter is released.

To cancel the self-timer operation after it has been activated, move the main switch to either the ON or L (Lock) position.

Use the eyepiece shutter when taking pictures in situations where your eye will not remain at the viewfinder, such as when using the Self-Timer Mode or a remote release.

1. Set the eyepiece shutter lever to the down position. This blocks the eyepiece.

2. Depress the shutter release button to take the picture.

In normal photography (when looking through the viewfinder), set the eyepiece shutter to the up position.

When your eye is not at the viewfinder (e.g., during Self-Timer use), stray light can enter through the eyepiece and cause incorrect exposure readings. Using the eyepiece shutter blocks this stray light, ensuring a proper exposure.

The Multiple-Exposure Mode allows you to overlap multiple shots on a single frame of film.

1. Take the first picture as normal.

2. Before cocking the shutter for the next shot, move the multi-exposure lever in the direction of the arrow.

3. While holding the multi-exposure lever down, cock the shutter using the wind lever. The film will not advance.

4. The film counter indicator in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel will blink while the wind lever is being set back to its original position.

5. Compose and depress the shutter release button fully to take the second shot on the same frame.

6. To expose a third shot on the same frame, repeat steps 2-5 after taking the second shot.

• Always operate the multi-exposure lever *before* you cock the shutter for the subsequent exposure. Otherwise, the frames may be misaligned.

• If you only wind the film halfway while holding the lever, you can release your finger from the multi-exposure lever; it stays in the lock position, and the film counter indicator blinks.

• For best results, consider using a flash to illuminate the main subject against a dimly lit background.

• When making multi-exposures on the last frame of the film, specific indicators ([–], [10], or [21]) may appear on the LCD panel.

Once the Multi-Exposure Mode is set (by moving the lever and cocking the shutter), it cannot be canceled normally through a menu or button. If you need to cancel it (i.e., advance the film without exposing the second shot on that frame), you must essentially ‘waste’ the exposure: cover the lens with the lens cap, set the shutter speed to 1/1000 of a second, set the aperture to the minimum value (largest f-number), and depress the shutter release button in a dark place. Then wind the film normally.

In Aperture-Priority AE Mode, you select the desired aperture (f-stop), and the camera automatically selects the appropriate shutter speed for proper exposure. This mode requires the AE Pentaprism Finder 67 II to be attached.

1. Set the desired f-stop position on the lens aperture ring.

2. Press and hold down the shutter speed dial lock button.

3. While holding the lock button, turn the shutter speed dial to the ‘A’ position.

4. Release the lock button. The dial can be released from ‘A’ to another position by holding down the lock button again.

When the shutter release button is depressed halfway down, the automatically selected shutter speed, the metering mode indicator, and the film counter indicator will be displayed in the viewfinder.

If the subject is too bright or too dark for the selected aperture, the shutter speed display in the viewfinder will blink as a warning.

• If the subject is too bright (shutter speed blinking at the fastest speed, e.g., 1000), choose a smaller aperture (higher f-number).

• If the subject is too dark (shutter speed blinking at the slowest speed), choose a larger aperture (lower f-number).

Take the picture when the shutter speed indicator stops blinking. If it does not stop blinking even after adjusting the aperture, the required exposure is outside the camera’s metering range. If too bright, use a Neutral Density (ND) filter or choose a darker subject. If too dark, use a flash.

The Metered Manual Mode allows you to set both the shutter speed and aperture manually, while still providing exposure guidance via the viewfinder meter. It’s useful for maintaining a consistent exposure setting or for creative under/over exposure. This mode requires the AE Pentaprism Finder 67 II to be attached for metering information.

1. Set the desired f-stop setting on the lens aperture ring.

2. Set the shutter speed dial to a desired shutter speed other than ‘A’. To move the dial off ‘A’ or onto/off ‘X’, you must press and hold the shutter speed dial lock button while turning the dial.

Set the shutter speed dial to the ‘X’ position (1/30 of a second) when using flash photography with the camera’s flash sync speed or when using a non-dedicated external flash unit connected via the X-sync terminal. Remember to press the shutter speed dial lock button to turn the dial to the ‘X’ position.

When the shutter release button is depressed halfway in Metered Manual Mode (and the AE Pentaprism Finder 67 II is attached), the viewfinder displays the selected shutter speed, a bar graph indicating exposure level relative to the meter reading, the selected metering mode, and the film counter indicator.

The bar graph shows how your selected shutter speed and aperture combination compares to the camera’s meter reading:

• A single bar in the center indicates correct exposure according to the meter.

• Bars displayed above the ‘+’ side indicate overexposure.

• Bars displayed above the ‘-‘ side indicate underexposure.

• Each bar segment represents approximately a 0.3 EV (Exposure Value) step.

• If the exposure is beyond +3 EV or -3 EV, the ‘+’ or ‘-‘ indicator will blink.

Note: The bar graph is only displayed when the AE Pentaprism Finder 67 II is attached.

If the subject is too bright or too dark, causing the required exposure to be outside the camera’s metering range even if the aperture or shutter speed were adjusted, the selected shutter speed display in the viewfinder will blink. This means the meter cannot guide you to a correct exposure within the camera’s limits. If the subject is too bright, use a Neutral Density (ND) filter or select a darker subject. If the subject is too dark, use a flash.

Bulb (‘B’) mode is used for long exposures, typically for night scenes or fireworks. The shutter remains open as long as the shutter release button is held down.

1. Set the desired f-stop on the lens aperture ring.

2. Press and hold the shutter speed dial lock button.

3. While holding the lock button, turn the shutter speed dial to the ‘B’ position.

4. Depress and hold the shutter release button for the desired exposure duration. The shutter closes when the button is released.

When Bulb mode is selected and the shutter release button (or Cable Release) is depressed halfway, ‘bu’ will be displayed in the viewfinder’s shutter speed area.

In Bulb Exposure Mode, use a steady tripod to prevent camera shake during the long exposure. It is also highly recommended to use an optional Cable Release attached to the shutter button’s threaded socket. This allows you to open and close the shutter without touching the camera body directly, further minimizing vibration. Depressing the Cable Release halfway will light up the viewfinder indicators.

Exposure compensation allows you to intentionally overexpose (brighten) or underexpose (darken) a subject compared to the camera’s meter reading, or to compensate for tricky lighting situations that might fool the meter. This requires the AE Pentaprism Finder 67 II.

1. To set a compensation value other than ‘0’, press and hold the exposure compensation dial release button.

2. While holding the release button, turn the exposure compensation dial to the desired compensation value (e.g., +1 for one stop brighter, -0.7 for 0.7 stops darker).

3. The selected compensation value and the compensation symbol (±) will appear in the viewfinder bar graph area.

Note: Exposure compensation does not work in Bulb Exposure Mode. The range is -3EV to +3EV in 0.3EV steps.

When exposure compensation is used in the Metered Manual Mode, the bar graph in the viewfinder indicates the value of under or over exposure relative to the meter reading *plus* your compensation setting. The exposure compensation symbol (±) is displayed instead of the bar graph showing the compensation value itself. To achieve the compensated exposure, adjust your aperture or shutter speed until the bar graph indicator is centered (at the marker).

Set the metering mode selector switch (located near the shutter speed dial on the AE Pentaprism Finder 67 II) to the Center-Weighted position (symbol looks like a rectangle with a circle inside). The corresponding symbol will be displayed in the viewfinder. In this mode, the camera meters the entire scene but gives more emphasis (weight) to the central area of the viewfinder. Creative exposure control is determined by the user, as this mode does not automatically compensate for strong backlight like multi-segment metering might.

Set the metering mode selector switch (on the AE Pentaprism Finder 67 II) to the Spot position (symbol looks like a small circle). The corresponding symbol will be displayed in the viewfinder. In this mode, the camera measures light only in the small circular area in the center of the viewfinder. Aim this central area at the specific part of the subject you want to meter.

If the brightness range between the small area you meter in the center and the surrounding areas is very large, the exposure based solely on the spot reading might result in the rest of the picture being improperly exposed (either too dark or too bright). In such cases, determine the final exposure by considering the overall brightness of the scene, perhaps by taking multiple readings and averaging, or by using exposure compensation or the memory lock function.

The memory lock function allows you to meter a specific area (especially useful with Spot Metering) and lock that exposure reading before recomposing the shot.

1. Aim the camera’s metering area (e.g., the spot meter circle) at the part of the subject you want to set the exposure for.

2. Depress the memory lock button (ML). The exposure level is memorized, and an asterisk (*) symbol is displayed in the viewfinder.

3. Recompose your picture and take the shot. The exposure will be based on the memorized reading.

As soon as the memory lock button (ML) is depressed, the camera stores the measured exposure level for 20 seconds, even if the ML button is released immediately. If you depress the shutter release button halfway while the memory lock timer is operating, the memorized meter reading will remain locked even if the ML button is released.

To cancel the memory lock function after it has been activated but before taking a picture, depress the memory lock button (ML) again. The memory lock function is also automatically canceled after a picture is taken.

The memory lock function cannot be used when the camera is set in the Metered Manual Mode.

Compatible flash units for TTL Auto Flash are AF540FGZ, AF360FGZ, AF500FTZ, AF400FTZ, AF330FTZ, AF240FT, AF280T, AF200T, and AF220T. Note that using these flash units requires the optional hot shoe grip 67 II.

1. Attach the optional hot shoe grip 67 II to the camera (refer to the grip’s manual).

2. Remove the black cover (hot shoe cover Fc) from the upper part of the grip.

3. Attach the Pentax dedicated flash unit to the hot shoe grip 67 II.

4. Connect the flash unit’s cord to the camera’s 5P-sync terminal.

5. Power the flash on *after* connecting the cord.

• In Aperture-Priority AE Mode or when the shutter speed is manually set in the range of 1/30 to 1/1000 of a second, the camera’s flash sync speed of 1/30 of a second is automatically set when the flash is fully charged.

• When the shutter release button is depressed halfway, the flash ready symbol (lightning bolt) appears in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel when the flash is fully charged.

• In Aperture-Priority AE Mode, when the flash is fully charged, the camera automatically switches to Metered Manual Mode. The bar graph in the viewfinder then indicates the exposure value for the background lighting.

Using the AF400T flash unit requires the optional AF400T 67 II Bracket and the 4P sync cord A.

1. Attach the AF400T flash unit to the camera using the AF400T 67 II Bracket (refer to the bracket manual).

2. Connect the 4P sync cord A from the flash unit to the camera’s X-sync terminal.

3. Power the flash on *after* connecting the cord.

Camera operation (sync speed, flash ready indicator, mode switching in Aperture-Priority AE) is similar to using TTL flashes via the hot shoe grip.

Yes, the AF200T and AF280T can be used in the same way as the AF400T by combining them with an optional hot shoe grip and the AF400T 67 II Bracket. Refer to the bracket’s operating manual for details.

When exposure compensation is set on the camera and used with a TTL flash unit, only the amount of flash output is adjusted according to the compensation value. The background exposure is not directly affected by the camera’s compensation dial in this specific combination. To adjust both the background brightness and the flash amount simultaneously using the compensation dial, you need to set the exposure compensation symbol (±) to the center of the bar graph by adjusting aperture/shutter speed manually (essentially working in manual mode with the flash providing TTL fill).

These flashes offer two- or three-level external auto flash modes (using sensors on the flash units themselves) in addition to TTL auto flash. Select the desired auto mode level (e.g., Red, Green, Yellow setting) on the flash unit itself.

Then, set the corresponding aperture value on the camera’s lens as shown in the table below (based on ISO 100 film):

Setting	AF200T	AF280T	AF400T
Red	f/2.8	f/4	f/4
Green	f/5.6	f/8	f/8
Yellow	N/A	N/A	f/11

In Aperture-Priority AE Mode or when the shutter speed is set manually between 1/30 and 1/1000s, the flash sync speed of 1/30s is automatically set when the flash is fully charged.

When using more than two Pentax dedicated flashes simultaneously (multi-burst), ensure that they are of the same type group. Use either a combination of Type A and B flashes OR a combination of Type C and D flashes. Refer to the flash function overview table for type classifications. Mixing types across these groups (e.g., Type A with Type C) is not recommended. Multi-burst flash capability itself is only available with specific flash models like the AF500FTZ.

For AF540FGZ, AF500FTZ, AF330FTZ and AF360FGZ:

• Sync speed is 1/30s (automatically set when charged in Aperture-Priority AE or manual 1/30-1/1000s).

• Sync speed is 1/15s in trailing-shutter-curtain sync and contrast-control flash modes.

• The auto zoom function on the flash does not function with this camera; adjust focal length manually.

• Wireless slave-sync flash is available when using AF500FTZ and AF360FGZ together.

• Multiple-burst flash is possible with the AF500FTZ.

• Auto power off occurs after about three minutes of inactivity; depress shutter release halfway to restart charging.

For AF240T and AF400FTZ:

• Sync speed is 1/30s (automatically set when charged in Aperture-Priority AE or manual 1/30-1/1000s).

• Auto power off occurs after about five minutes of inactivity; depress shutter release halfway to restart charging.

For AF200T, AF280T and AF400T:

• The two- or three-level external auto flash mode can be used in addition to the TTL auto flash mode.

• Sync speed is 1/30s (automatically set when charged in Aperture-Priority AE or manual 1/30-1/1000s).

The following table summarizes compatibility:

TYPE D: AF200S, AF160, AF140

Notes:

*1: The AF200SA and AF201SA do not operate TTL auto flash.

*2: The shutter speed is 1/15s or slower.

*3: Multi-burst and slave-sync flash are possible.

• Use of non-Pentax flash units may potentially damage the camera. For best results and safety, use a Pentax dedicated flash unit.

• Some large studio type flashes may have inverted contacts and will therefore not fire when attached directly to the camera or standard adapters. Contact the flash unit manufacturer for information.

• To prevent the view from being vignetted by the second shutter curtain when using slower shutter speeds with flash, it is recommended to use a shutter speed one step slower than the camera’s maximum flash sync speed (i.e., slower than 1/30s).

• When a flash cord is connected to the X-sync terminal only, the flash’s secondary functions (like TTL or confirmation signals) will not work.

Slow-Speed-Sync balances flash exposure on a foreground subject with a longer exposure for a dimly lit background.

1. Set the camera’s exposure mode to Metered Manual Mode. (This can be done at any time before taking the picture).

2. Turn the flash unit on.

3. Select an appropriate slow shutter speed (slower than 1/30 of a second) and an aperture combination for a correct exposure of the background.

4. Release the shutter. The flash will expose the foreground, and the slow shutter speed will expose the background.

Note: Use of a tripod is recommended to prevent camera shake during the slow shutter speed.

1. Slide the depth-of-preview lever located on the lens mount until the letters ‘MAN’ appear in the small window.

2. Look through the viewfinder. The lens aperture will stop down to the preset f-stop, allowing you to visually confirm the range of sharpness (depth of field).

3. To return the aperture to fully open for bright viewing and focusing, depress the depth-of-preview lever. It will spring back to its original position.

Note: The actual range in focus may differ slightly from what is seen. When the lever is set to MAN, the camera’s metering mode automatically switches to Center-Weighted Metering.

Mirror lock-up locks the mirror in the up position before the shutter opens, minimizing camera vibrations caused by mirror movement, which helps achieve sharper pictures, especially at slower shutter speeds or with long lenses.

1. Wind the film (cock the shutter). Mirror lock-up cannot be activated before winding.

2. Slide the mirror lock-up lever (M.UP) upward. The mirror will flip up and stay in the up position.

3. Depress the shutter release button to take the picture. The shutter will open and close with the mirror already up.

Note: With the mirror locked up, the memory lock function operates automatically, and the exposure is fixed at the moment the mirror is locked up.

Once the mirror lock-up is set (lever moved up after winding), it cannot be canceled normally. If you want to return the mirror without taking a picture, you must release the shutter. To avoid exposing the film, cover the lens with the cap, set a fast shutter speed and minimum aperture, depress the shutter release button in a dark place (similar to canceling Multiple Exposure Mode), and then wind the film again if needed. The mirror returns to the down position after the shutter cycle. Note that this function does not operate if the battery is exhausted and uses more battery power.

Time Exposure Mode is designed for very long exposures (longer than available on the shutter speed dial or Bulb), such as for astronomical photography or extended night scenes. It minimizes battery consumption during the exposure.

1. Set the desired f-stop on the lens aperture ring.

2. Slide the time exposure set lever (located near the mirror lock-up lever) as shown in the illustration.

3. Wind the film (cock the shutter). The lever can be set after the film is wound.

Note: This function does not operate if the battery is exhausted. It can be combined with the mirror lock-up function.

1. After setting up Time Exposure Mode (lever set, film wound), depress the shutter release button. The shutter opens and remains open.

2. To end the exposure, slide the time exposure set lever back to its original position. The shutter will close, finishing the exposure.

Note: The shutter will not close until the time exposure set lever is returned to its original position, regardless of the shutter speed dial setting.

Infrared light focuses at a slightly different point than visible light. When using infrared film and an “R2” or “O2” filter:

1. Focus on your subject as usual using visible light (before attaching a dense IR filter if necessary).

2. Note the distance indicated on the lens’s distance scale corresponding to your focus point.

3. Turn the focusing ring slightly to the left (towards closer distances) until the distance mark you noted in step 2 aligns with the red infrared index mark (often a red line or dot) on the lens barrel’s depth of field scale.

To set the proper exposure level for infrared pictures, refer to the specific instructions accompanying the infrared film you are using. The camera’s built-in meter is calibrated for visible light. The Aperture-Priority AE Mode will likely not give a correct exposure for infrared film. Use the Metered Manual Mode and adjust settings based on the film manufacturer’s recommendations or test shots.

Contact your local Pentax service center for more information.

Twelve types of focusing screens are available, including the standard screen. They offer different focusing aids and grid patterns:

• BA-61, BA-81: Microprism Matte (General use)

• BB-61, BB-81: Split-Image Matte (Matte screen with split image center)

• BE-60, BE-80: Center-Spot Matte (Standard screen for general photography)

• BH-61, BH-81: Cross-Lined Microprism Matte (Microprism with grid lines)

• BJ-61, BJ-81: Cross-Lined Split Image Matte (Split image with grid lines)

• BG-60, BG-80: Cross-Lined Matte (Matte screen with grid lines)

Screens ending in -60 or -61 are standard brightness. Screens ending in -80 or -81 are bright screens designed for use with telephoto or slower maximum aperture lenses.

Yes. The BA-81, BB-81, BE-80, BG-80, BH-81, and BJ-81 focusing screens are brighter, making focusing easier with telephoto lenses or lenses with slower maximum apertures. However, the exposure accuracy of these screens may decrease when the lens is stopped down significantly. Also, when used in combination with a rear converter, a slight amount of overexposure may occur. Consult the operating manual of the 67 II Interchangeable Focusing Screens for more details.

Refer to the following compatibility chart.

Caution: Telephoto screens (ending in -80 or -81) make the viewfinder brighter, facilitating focusing, especially with slower lenses. However, care must be taken as the brightness of the screen may affect exposure accuracy.

When using the AE Pentaprism Finder 67 II (or Pentaprism Finder 67 II) with the magnifier or eyecup, you must first detach the rubber ring from the finder’s eyepiece. If the eyepiece is squeezed too tightly, making ring detachment difficult, hold down and rotate the frame of the eyepiece using the back side of the camera strap (the side without the word PENTAX) to make it easier.

When using a polarizing filter, exposure accuracy can be adversely affected if using an ordinary (linear) polarizing filter. Use of a circular polarizing filter is necessary for proper exposure metering.

If you are using the auto close-up ring in Aperture-Priority AE Mode, make sure to narrow the aperture (select a smaller aperture/higher f-number) before taking the picture. Otherwise, the exposure will not match the meter reading.

When the Rear Converter is used with a focusing screen designed for telephoto lenses installed (BA-81, BB-81, BE-80, BG-80, BH-81, or BJ-81), a slight amount of overexposure will likely occur. Compensate accordingly.

The autobellows unit *without* the extension tube (Outer bayonet No.1) cannot be attached to the 67 II camera if the AE Pentaprism 67 II is used. The extension tube (Outer bayonet No.1) and the scale (Scale 67 II) are available as optional accessories to enable use with the AE finder.

Shutter speed controls the duration of time the film is exposed to light.

• A fast shutter speed (e.g., 1/500s, 1/1000s) freezes motion, capturing moving subjects as if they are stationary. It also helps prevent blur caused by camera shake.

• A slow shutter speed (e.g., 1/15s, 1s) allows motion blur for moving subjects. It can also be used creatively to capture flowing water (rivers, waterfalls, waves) with a smooth, motion-like quality.

Aperture controls the size of the lens opening, adjusting the amount (or “thickness”) of the light beam hitting the film. It significantly affects the depth of field (the range of distance that appears sharp in the picture).

• A wide aperture (opened up, e.g., f/2.4, f/4 – lower f-number) lets in more light and creates a shallow depth of field. Objects in front of and behind the exact focus point will appear blurred. This helps isolate the subject from the background.

• A narrow aperture (stopped down, e.g., f/16, f/22 – higher f-number) lets in less light and creates a large depth of field. More of the scene, from foreground to background, will appear sharp.

Custom Functions allow you to modify certain aspects of the camera’s operation to suit your personal preferences. These modifications are not set by the user through menus; they must be made at a Pentax service center, and there may be a charge for this service. Consult your local Pentax service center for details.

The following Custom Functions can be set by a Pentax service center:

(1) 1/2 EV Shutter-speed settings: Shutter speeds can be divided into 1/2 EV steps instead of full steps.

(2) Metering timer duration: The standard 10-second metering timer (how long the meter stays active after pressing the shutter button halfway) can be changed to 5, 20, or 30 seconds. The memory lock timer (standard 20 seconds) can be changed to 10, 40, or 60 seconds.

(3) F-number indication in viewfinder display: The selected aperture (f-number) can be displayed in the viewfinder LCD indicator instead of the exposure frame number. This function is only available when a lens with automatic diaphragm control is mounted.

(4) Installment of an additional strap lug: An additional strap lug can be installed next to the grip for horizontal positioning of the camera strap.

• If Custom Function (3) is activated to display f-stops in the viewfinder, the film frame number will not be displayed there.

• The f-stop will not be displayed if the attached lens or accessory does not support photometry (i.e., cannot communicate aperture information to the camera body).

• The f-stop displayed in the viewfinder does not necessarily match the aperture actually set with the lens’s aperture ring, especially with older or non-coupled lenses/accessories.

There are several possible reasons:

• The last frame of the film is exposed: Remedy – Remove the film.

• The main switch is set to L (Lock): Remedy – Set the main switch to ON.

• The low battery warning symbol is displayed: Remedy – Replace the batteries.

• The Self-Timer Mode is set and counting down: Remedy – Cancel the Self-Timer Mode (switch to ON or L) or wait for it to fire.

• The film is not wound (shutter not cocked): Remedy – Wind the film using the wind lever.

Possible reasons:

• The main switch is set to L (Lock): Remedy – Set the main switch to ON.

• No batteries have been installed: Remedy – Install the batteries.

• The batteries are improperly installed (check polarity): Remedy – Install the batteries properly.

• The batteries are dead: Remedy – Replace the batteries.

One possible cause is that the pressure plate inside the camera back has not been set correctly for the type of film being used (120 or 220). Remedy: Set the pressure plate according to the film type loaded.

This could also be caused by the pressure plate not being set correctly for the film type. Remedy: Ensure the pressure plate is set according to the film type (120 or 220).

This usually happens if the film start mark on the film backing paper was not properly aligned with the start mark inside the camera when loading the film. Remedy: Ensure the film start mark is correctly aligned during loading.

The diopter adjustment for the viewfinder eyepiece may not be set correctly for your eyesight. Remedy: Adjust the diopter correction dial next to the eyepiece until the viewfinder display appears sharp.

Ensure that batteries are installed in the camera. Remedy: Install the batteries.

An [E] followed by double figures (e.g., [E-13]) appearing on the LCD panel indicates an unusual operation or error within the camera. When this happens, the shutter cannot be released. Follow the specific instructions based on the numbers following the [E].

If the first figure after [E] is “1” or “3” (e.g., E-13, E-31), this indicates a camera breakdown, regardless of the second figure. You should take the camera to your local Pentax service center.

If the second figure after [E] is “1”, “2”, or “3”:

• If there is film in the camera: Wind the film to the end and remove it. Press the shutter release button. If the error display disappears, the camera may be ready for use, but it is recommended to have it checked by a Pentax service center.

• If there is no film in the camera: Open and close the back cover. If the error display disappears, the camera is ready for use.

The [PErr] display usually indicates an issue with the connection to the viewfinder (AE Pentaprism Finder). Take the viewfinder off the camera body and reattach it securely, perhaps two or three times. If the error display disappears, the camera is ready for use.

In rare cases, static electricity may cause the camera to not operate correctly. This can often be remedied by taking the batteries out of the camera and then putting them back in again.
