Turn the aperture ring until the central green LED dot glows which indicates proper exposure. The f-stop you have selected is also visible in the small window above the focusing screen. If the central green dot does not glow no matter how far you turn the aperture ring, change the shutter speed. Open the back by pulling up the rewind knob until the back opens. Place the film cartridge in the film chamber, and push down the rewind knob.
Insert the film leader in between any of the white plastic pins surrounding the film take-up spool. Advance the film by alternately advancing the rapid wind lever and depressing the shutter button until both top and bottom sprockets engage the film perforations. Close the back by pressing it firmly. Wind the rapid-wind lever, and confirm that the film rewind knob turns counterclockwise, indicating that the film is properly loaded and is moving from cartridge to take-up spool.
Trip the shutter. Advance the film until the exposure counter turns to "1 ", indicating that the first picture is ready to be taken. As a reminder of the type of film in your camera, tear off the top of the film box and insert it into the Memo Holder on the back of the camera. The ASA film speed rating of all 35mm films is given in the data sheet packed with each roll of film. The higher the ASA number, the more sensitive the film is to light.
While depressing the ASA dial lock button, turn the rim of the shutter dial until the ASA number of your film is aligned with the index mark. Be sure to set the ASA film speed because it is coupled to the exposure meter system.
Turn the shutter speed dial clockwise or counter-clockwise to the shutter speed desired. The shutter speed may be set either before or after winding the rapid-wind lever. As you wind the shutter by turning the rapid-wind lever, the "WOUND" indicator turns red showing that the shutter is wound.
The color of the winding indicator changes to black after tripping the shutter. For use of the X setting on the shutter speed dial, refer to page The standard focusing screen of your MX has a central split-image circle surrounded by a microprism collar.
While looking through the viewfinder, turn the focusing ring until your subject comes into sharp focus. If your subject is not in focus, the image in the split-image circle will appear divided into upper and lower portions, and the image in the microprism collar will appear broken into many small fragments. Turn the aperture ring to get a proper LED exposure read-out in the viewfinder. On the right-hand side of the viewfinder, appear the preselected shutter speed plus two adjacent speeds e.
On the right-hand side of the shutter speeds shown, there are 5 LED dots which are normally not visible. If you depress the shutter button halfway and the exposure is correct, the central green dot will illuminate. If it is 1 EV or more over or under, the appropriate red dot will glow as a warning for adjustment of either the f-stop or the shutter speed, unless you want to make intentional over or underexposure.
As a general rule, your camera can be held more firmly in the left hand, which does not release the shutter. If you hold your camera with the right hand - the hand that releases the shutter - this may cause camera movement. Often, blurred pictures are due to camera movement. Horizontal position Hold the camera firmly with your left hand, and draw your arms close to your body.
Vertical position Hold your camera tightly to your forehead with your left hand, and draw your right arm close to your body. After the final picture on the roll has been taken, the rapid-wind lever will not advance further, indicating that the film must be rewound. Lift up the rewind crank. Depress the film rewind button and turn the rewind crank as indicated to rewind the film into its cartridge.
Rewind until the tension on the crank lessens, indicating that the leader end of the film has been released from the take-up spool. Pull out the film rewind knob the back will open automatically , and remove the film cartridge. The table on the next page shows which flash contact, which shutter speed and which flash bulb may be combined for maximum lamp efficiency. Unless these combinations are rigidly followed, there will be a failure in flash synchronization.
Note the "X" setting is exactly at the 60 mark on the shutter speed dial. This indicates the highest shutter speed at which electronic flash units may be used. Use the hot shoe flash contact when using a shoe mount electronic flash like the Pentax Autostrob which has a flash contact on the shoe bracket. When using the hot shoe, there is no need to plug the flash cord into the X terminal on the front of the body.
The hot shoe flash contact turns to "hot" switched on only when you insert a shoe mount electronic flash. It remains "cold" disconnected even when using an electronic flash with its cord plugged into the X terminal on the body front. This eliminates the danger of electric shocks. There are basically two types of flash bulb attachments on the market: clip-on types and bracket types. Either can be used with your camera. The clip-on types are attached to the hot shoe and the bracket types are attached via the tripod socket.
The correct terminal and the correct shutter speed to use for each of these three types are outlined in the table below. Before attaching the flash unit to the camera, you must remove the protective plug from the proper terminal. When not using the terminals, keep the plugs inserted. Depth of field is the range between the nearest and farthest distances which are in focus at a given lens aperture.
If you want to know how great the depth of field is at a certain aperture, focus on a subject and look through the viewfinder while moving the Self-timer lever toward the lens, and you will be able to preview the depth of field. The shutter button lock lever is for your convenience while you are making a particularly long exposure using the B shutter speed setting.
After depressing the shutter button, turn the lock lever which is on the collar at the base of the shutter button so that the letter "L" is visible. When the exposure time is up, move the lock lever back to its original position.
This automatically releases the shutter button. In addition to making "Time" exposure, the lock lever is also used to turn off the meter circuit and simultaneously prevent accidental release of the shutter. The two silver oxide batteries in your MX are used only for powering the exposure meter; the shutter mechanism is a totally manual operation.
Therefore, your camera can still be operated even if the batteries have worn out. If the batteries have worn out and the exposure meter is no longer functioning, you must determine the correct combination of shutter speed and aperture size yourself, from your own experience.
Also, packed in with most types of 35mm film is a data sheet with suggestions for determining the correct exposure in a variety of situations. The Self-timer delays the shutter release by When using the Self-timer, do not depress the shutter button Then, push the start button, and the Self-timer will commence. If you intend to take infra-red photographs, remember to use the infra-red mark indicated with an orange line on the depth-of-field scale.
First, bring your subject into sharp focus. Then determine the subject-to-camera distance from the distance scale on the lens. Then match your subject-to-camera distance to the infra-red mark by turning the focusing ring accordingly.
For deliberate multiple exposures, make the first exposure in the normal way. Then tighten the film by turning the rewind knob , and keep hold of the rewind knob. Depress the film rewind release button and advance the rapid-wind lever. This winds the shutter without advancing the film. Finally release the shutter to make the second exposure. Then make one blank exposure, before taking the next picture, to avoid overlapping. As the exposure counter continues to function each time the shutter is wound, a double exposure will be counted as two frames.
Webmaster: You also have to compensate for the additional light hitting the film on multiple exposures on the same frame. Look on-line for information.
