INSTALLING THE BATTERIES

       1. Remove the Battery Container from the side of the Power Winder by
      depressing the battery container detachable button downward toward the
      arrow indication and sliding the container until it is separated from the
      winder (ring. 1).

       2. Load the Battery Container with four (4) AA size (Penlite) 1.5 volt
       Alkaline Batteries. The correct positioning of the positive (+) and negative
         (-) ends of each battery is shown in the container. When a fresh set of
       batteries are installed, a minimum of 20 rolls of 36 exposure films can be
      used at room temperature. Replace with a fresh set of batteries when the
      motor in the power winder stops running.

           If the motor stops during the film transport, it indicates that the batteries
      have insufficient power to drive the motor. Immediately, replace the
       batteries with a fresh  set.4www.butkus.org

Install the batteries correctly to avoid malfunction of the Power Winder and to
avoid the possibility of the batteries leaking.

NOTE: Always remove the batteries when the power winder is not in use for a
long period of time. When replacing batteries all four (4) batteries must be
replaced.

ATTACHING TO THE CAMERA

       1. The C/S Dial should be turned to the off position (Fig. 2).

       2. Insert the guide pin into the pin receptacle located on the bottom of the
      camera. Align the attachment screw to the tripod socket of the camera and
       rotate the attachment screw clockwise until the Power Winder is securely
      fastened to the camera body (Fig. 3).

NOTE: To attach a CHINON Power Winder to CE-5, CG-5 and CP-5 camera
body, the body grip has to be removed from the camera body.

NOTE: Normal Use

       1. Set the C/S Dial to the "S" (single frame exposure) position (Fig. 4).

       2. Each time the shutter release button is depressed single frame shooting
         will result. The film will automatically be advanced one frame and the
       shutter will be cocked ready for the next exposure.

Remarks: The shutter can be released by depressing the shutter release button
on the camera body or the
shutter release button on the winder  grip.4www.butkus.org

Continuous Use

       1. Set the C/S Dial to the "C" (continuous) position (Fig. 5).

     2 Continuous shooting will result as long as the shutter release button is
      depressed.

       3. The actual frame per second rate will depend on such factors as the
       interval timer and the pre-set counter. See "Interval Timer" and "Pre-set
      Counter" for further explanation.

ACTION LAMP

The Chinon Power Winder employs an electronic LED (red) which illuminates
when the shutter is tripped and during the instant the film is automatically
advanced. This action light confirms that the Power Winder and camera are
functioning properly.

PRE-SET COUNTER (PW-610 only)

Because of the special computerized memory chip built in to the Chinon Power
Winder it is now possible to preselect a predetermined amount of frames that can
be shot continuously.

1. Set the C/S Dial to the "C" position.
2. Set the pre-set counter to the number of desired frames for continuous
shooting (Fig. 6).
3. Depress the shutter release button on the camera.
NOTE: When the pre-set counter is used, check the remaining film In the
camera. If the desired amount of frames are greater than the amount of frames
remaining in the film, the counter will automatically stop at the end of the roll.

* While taking pictures in the continuous shooting mode, the film advance will
stop automatically regardless of the pre-set counter if your finger is removed from
the shutter release button.

* As soon as the shutter release button is depressed again the counter starts
from the beginning. For example, should you set the pre-set counter to 8,
depress the shutter release button and remove your finger after the 5th frame
has been exposed. Then depress the shutter release button again. The counter
will automatically start from the beginning and another 8 frames will be
exposed.4www.butkus.org

* When the desired amount of frames are exposed, the Power Winder will stop
automatically after advancing the film one additional frame.

* In the case where the Power Winder stops, check both the Frame Counter on
the camera and the preset counter on the Power Winder. If the pre-set counter or
the film in the camera has not reached the end, replace the batteries with a fresh
set.

INTERVAL TIMER
(PW-600 only)

As mentioned previously, because of the latest electronic technologies
incorporated in the Chinon Power Winder and because of its special
computerized memory chip it is now possible to shoot "time-lapse" photography
by means of the special built-in interval timer.





1. Set the C/S Dial to the "C" position.
       2. Set the interval timer dial to the desired interval position (Fig. 7).

       3. Keep the shutter release button depressed on the camera or locked into
      the continuous shooting  position.4www.butkus.org

       4. A desired number of frames can be exposed automatically when used
       with the pre-set counter and the interval timer.

NOTE: The Interval Timer controls the duration between each exposure
automatically.

Neither the pre-set counter nor the interval timer can be used in the "S" position.

REMOTE CONTROL

Remote control photography can be accomplished with your new Power Winder
by means of the special remote control accessory switch available from your
CHINON dealer (Fig. 8).

1. Set the C/S Dial to the off position.

2. Set the remote control switch to the off position and plug it into the remote
control socket of your Power
Winder.

3. Set the C/S Dial to either the "C" or "S"  position.4www.butkus.org

C/S Dial set at the "C" position
(PW-610)

The operating manner is the same as previously described.

NOTE: When the C/S Dial is set at the S position do not use the Pre-Set Counter
or the Interval Timer as these two features only function when the C/S Dial is set
at the C position.
(PW-610)

Continuous shooting will result as long as the remote control switch is set in the
on position.

C/S Dial set at the "S" position

For single frame exposure, the Remote Control switch is set to the on position. A
frame will be exposed each time the remote control switch is turned on.

NOTE: If you use Chinon Wireless Controller which is available as an optional
accessory, you can control this Power Winder remotely at a distance of approx.
40 meters (13.12 Ft.).

REWINDING THE FILM

       1. Your Chinon Power Winder has a built-in automatic stop device which is
       activated at the end of the roll of film. When the automatic stop device is
       activated the film should be completely exposed. It is recommended to
      check the frame counter to confirm that the roll of film is completely
      exposed.

       2. Push up the rewind lever as indicated by the arrow mark on the Power
      Winder and rewind the film by turning the rewind crank in a clockwise
       direction on the camera (Fig. 9).

       3. Process the film without delay.


CONTINUOUS SHOOTING LOCK

When used for continuous shooting with the Pre-set counter and Interval Timer,
the shutter release button
can be pressed down and locked for continuous shooting (Fig. 10).

CAUTIONS

       1. The batteries will weaken if the Power Winder is not used for a long
      period of time or at low temperatures. It is recommended to replace the
       batteries or use the unit at normal room temperatures.

       2. When new film is loaded in the camera, advance the film manually for
     one frame or re-set the C/S Dial.

       3. If the Power Winder is not in use, the C/S Dial should be returned to the
        off position. If the Power Winder is not in use for a long period of time,
     remove the batteries from the unit.

       4. The dials on the power winder should be set with clicked position.

MOUNTING THE POWER WINDER TO A TRIPOD

The Chinon Power Winder is provided with a tripod socket so that it may be
secured to a tripod (Fig. 11).

CAMERA BODY POWER SUPPLY CONTACT

When mounted to CHINON cameras designed with body power supply contact,
the winders supply and serve as the power source to camera body (Fig. 12).

USE WITH CHINON CM-5

When using the PW-600 and 610 power winders with the CM-5, only single
frame advance is possible. Furthermore, the power winders will only advance the
film when the camera's shutter release is depressed and released. The shutter
release button on the power winder's built-in grip is non-functional when used
with the CM-5.

NOTE:

       1. Caution should be used not to set the C/S dial in the "C" position.

       2. Care should be taken to avoid depressing the shutter release on the
      power winder grip when depressing the camera's shutter release as the
      power winder will not advance the film when the button is kept depressed.

       3. The interval timer and the preset counter (PW-600) are non-functional
     when used with the CM-5.

       4. Do not attempt to use the remote control socket when the power winder
        is used in conjunction with the CM-5.
