MAINTENANCE OF' YOUR CAMEII3A
Protect your camera from humidity, salty air and dust. Hot tempera-
tures above 104"F (40'C) and low temperatures below - 4"F (- 20"C)
will af{ect the shutter performance. In extremely hot weather, try
to keep your camera cool. Never put it in the glove compartment
or on the rear window sill of your car. When extremely cold, try I
to keep the camera warm.
To remove grit or dirt from the camera body, use a soft brush or a
dry sofi piece oI cloth. For the lens, use only a spray oI air, soft
lens tissue, or a camel hair brush. For the reflex mirror, use a spray
oI air or a soft camel hair brush only. Never wipe the mirror or lens
surlace with cloth.
Never use oil in your camera and do not touch the shutter curtains. I
When advancing the film, be sure to stroke the rapid wind lever
all the way until it stops. 4
Do not use Auto-Takumar 55mm f/1.8 lens with lens number smaller
than 462500 with the H3v and Hla camera bodies, for its automatic
diaphragm will not work correctly due to modilication and im-
provement o{ the Instant Return Mirror and automatic diaphragm
mechanisms of these new models.
If .your camera should need repair, do not try to {ix it yourself. Take
it io the dealer lrom whom you purchased it. Further refer to the
Warrantly Policy described on the last page of this operating manual.

I{OW TO HOLD YOUR CAMERA
In horizontal position. Hold In vertical position A. Hoid In vertical position B. Hold
the camera {irmly with your your cdmera tiqhtly to your your camer.t tiqhtlY to Your
lef t hand, and draw your f orehead with your lef t f orehead with your lef t
arm close to your body. hand, and draw your right hand, raise your right arm
arm close to your body. and draw your left arm to
your body.
As a general rule, your cdmera should be held more f irmly by the lef t hand
which does not release the shutter. If you hold your camera with the right hand
- the hand whlch releases the shutter - it may cause camera movement. Very
often, prctures which are not sharp are due to movement of the camera.
When you focus with the camerd held horizontally, hold the lens barrel as illus-
trated in photograph. Put the camera on the roof of your left hand thumb and
little finger. Turn the distance scale ring with your thumb and index {inger.
When holding the camera vertically, some
people release the shutter with the
thumb (center photo), while others re-
lease it with the index finger (left photo).
Position B is more desirable Ior f ast
focusing and shooting. With the Honey-
well Pentax, whether held vertically or
horizontally, you can see your subject
image through the taking lens, and this
ft enables you to compose, Iocus and shoot
,TF Iaster than with any other type camera.

Bn,IGII{T FIELD FOCUSING
1 You can start viewing and focusing
before and after cocking the rapid wind
lever. When the preview lever @ is 'A' in (automatic) position, the dia-
phragm is lully open except f or the
moment of exposure.
2 Turn the distance scale ring O until
your subject image is clearly in focus.
It is not always necessary lor you to
view and focus with the diaphragm lully
open. In briqht sunlight, you cdn easily
focus with the diaphragm closed to f/5.6
or IlB, and still observe the depth of
field. It is easier, however, to focus with
the diaphragm Iully open as your subject
image is much brighter.
'M' appears beside the later When the letter
@, the lens is in manual position; when 'A'
appears, it's in automatic position.
MICROPRISM
Honeywell Pentax cameras have a Fresnel
lens with a microprism centre underneath
the ground glass. As you look through the
f inder, you will see that the Fresnel lens
consists of many concentric rings which
provide the brightest possible image on
the ground glass.
The microprism is the centre portion of
this diagram. When your subject is in
focus, the image in the microprism will
be sharp and perf ectly clear. If your
subject is not in f ocus, the H3v's micro-
prism will break the image up into many
small dots, much like an engraver's screen,
while a number of parallei diagonal lines
will appear in the microprism of the Hta
also breaking up your sub;ect's image.
You can focus on your subject at any
portion of the ground glass.

AUTOMATIC DIAPHR,AGM
When the preview lever @ is in "A" (auiomatic) posiiion, the {ully automatic
diaphragm is at its largest aperture at all times, except Ior ihe instant ol exposure,
no matter what aperiure is set on ihe diaphragm ring. When you release the
shutter, the diaphragm automatically stops down to the predetermined aperiure
and ihe shutter curtains siart traveling instantly. When the exposure is completed,
the diaphragm reopens to maximum aperture completely automatically, and you are
ready to compose, {ocus, and shoot your next picture. I{ you wish to visually check
exact depth o{ Iield belore making the exposure, move the preview lever to "M"
(manual) position. This siops ihe diaphragm to ihe aperture selected and shows
you exacily how much depth ol field will appear in your picture. The preview
lever may be moved back to "A" (automatic) position be{ore or after making your
exposure, or, if you are making pictures in bright sunlight, ii may be left in manual
posiiion, which permits a constant check ol depth o{ {ield.

SHUTTER,
[trl
W
Turn the shutter speed dial @ clockwise or counter-clockwise as you
like, to the desired shutter speed. The shutter speed may be set
either before or after cocking the ropid wind lever. As you cock the
'cocked' shutter by turning the rapid wind lever, the indicator O
becomes red showing that the shutter is cocked. The indicator window
blacks out as you trip the shutter button. For use of the X setting on
the shutter speed dial, refer to page 14.
With the shutter speed dial set on B (bulb), the shutter will stay open
as long as you depress the shutter button. As you release your
finger from the shutter button, the shutter closes.When a long exposure
is desired while using the B setting, attach a shutter release cable
with a locking device to the shutter button. This will permit a " Time "
exposure.
Wlth the shutter speed dial set on T (time), the shutter stays open
af ter the shutter button is released. To close the shutter, turn the
shutter speed dial in either direction. Unless you turn the shutter
speed dial, the shutter will not close.
CAUTIONS
At slow speeds - slower than 1/30- support your cemera rigidly I
r or use a tripod to prevent movement of your cdmera.
To protect the shutter mechanism, trip the shutter release befo:e CD

DEPTI:I- OF-FIELD GUIDE
Depth of field is the range between the nearest
and farthest distances which are in focus at differ-
ent lens apertures.
If you want to know how great the depth ol {ield is at a certain aperture, look at
the depth-of-field guide @. In ihe above photograph, the distance scale is set at
15 {eet... ihe lens is locused on a subject 15 {eet away. The calibrations on each
side ol the disiance index @ correspond to the diaphragm setting and indicate
the range ol in-{ocus distance lor dilfereni lens apertures. For example, il the lens
opening ol {/8 is to be used, the range on the dlstance scale ring covered within
the ligure 8 on the depih-o{-lield guide indicates the area in {ocus at that lens
opening. You will note {rom the depth-o{-lield guide in the above photograph that
the range lrom l0 to 25 leet is in {ocus. Note that as the lens apertures change,
the ellective depth ol lield also changes. For the depth ol |ields at dillerent aper-
tures and distances, reler to page 13.
FILM TYPE n,EMINDER DTAL
The ASA Iilm speed rating ol all 35mm lilms is given in the data sheet packed
with each roll of {ilm. As the ASA number increases, the sensitivity of the {ilm also
increases. For example, {or two lllms ol ASA 50 and ASA 200, the ASA 50 lilm
requires 4 times more exposure than the ASA 200 film.
Use the {ilm type dial to show what type ol Iilm is in your camera. Simply move
the nipple @ and set ihe ASA number ol your film opposite the red pointer. Use
white figures lor black-and-white {ilm and green ligures {or colour and other special
Iilms. To check whether the camera is loaded, turn the film rewind knob clockwise.
II it turns {reely, ihe camera is not loaded.
For ASA-DIN {llm speed conversion, reler to page 33.

SELF-TIMER
Turn the self-timer cocking wheel @ clockwise as indicated by the arrow mark
until it stops. When you depress the self-timer release @, the shutter will release
in about lO seconds. If you depress the release button after turning the wheel @
about 50 degrees, the shutter will release in about 5 seconds. The cocking wheel
can be turned bef ore or af ter you cock the rapid wind lever o{ the camera.
* V " mark on the side of theRemember that the shutter will release when the
wheel O comes to the front. So, you always know when the shutter releases when
taking your own self-portraits. The setf-timer is built in the HSu model only.
FLASI{ SYNCHRONIZATION
The Honeywell Pentax has two sets of terminals - FP
and X. The table below shows which llash contacts, which
shutter speed and which {lash bulb may be combined
Ior maximum lamp ef{iciency. Unless these combinations
are rigidly f ollowed, there will be a f ailure in f lash tr X " setting between 60 and synchronization. Note the
30 on the shutter speed dial. The speed of this X
setting is about 1/50 of a second, and this indicates
the highest shutter speed at which Honeywill Strobonars
or other electronic flash units may be used'

TNTER,CIIANGEABLE LENSES
The Honeywell Pentax offers many interchange-
able lenses, all of which are widely respected by
prof essional and amateur photographers for
their fine resolution. The photographic coverage
of the various Takumar lenses is illustrated on
page 16. With focal length longer than SSmm,
the subject image is seen through the viewfinder
larger than its life size. Regardless of the lens
selected f or your Honeywell Pentax, there is
never need for an accessory viewfinder, ordina-
rily reguired for rangelinder type cameras.
When interchanging lenses, hold the lens by
the distance scale ring O. When attaching a
lens, f ilter, or lenshood, do not screw it too
tightly, as you may find it difficult to unscrew.

RESOLVING POWEB OF TAK,UMAR LENSES
Resolving power of all Takumar lenses is Iactory-tested by skilled engineers. There
are three types oI tests: microscopic aerial test, projection test and photographed
{ilm test. Resolving power oI a lens shown by lpm (lines per mm) varies depending
upon the method of resolution test. Takumar lenses have been tested for resolving
power to conform to Asahi standards which are higher than those set by JIS (Japan
Industrial Standards). All Takumar lenses bear the seal oI the Japan Camera Inspection
Institute which insures the per{ormance standards.
When testing your lens performance,. .
Use a slow-speed line grain film. Generally, high speed {ilms are grainy and are not
suitable {or resolution test. Support your camera on a good tripod. Use a shutter
release cable to prevent camera movement. The de{inition ol the picture on the
negative lilm may decrease if exposure and developing time are not proper. Time
your exposure and development correctly.
If you do your own developing and enlarging, see that your enlarger uses a fine
guahty enlarger lens. I{ it is not of a line guality, your pictures can never be sharp
no matter what superb lenses are mounted on your camera. Usually, the diaphragm
ol the enlarger should be closed down to I/B or f/11.

between the camera body and the Takumar
lens, close-ups of the subjects, as close as
3 ss/oainches from the front of 55mm lens, may
be photographed. By adding more extension
tubes, close-ups as close as the f ocal length
of the lens may be easily and simply photo-
graphed.
The extension tube set consists of 3 rings : #I,
#2 and *3; 9.5mm, l9.Omm and 28.5mm re-
spectively. These rings may be used in combi-
nation as desired. Ring # i is suited for
moderate close-up work as in copying docu-
ments. When all extension tubes etre used
simultaneously with 55mm lens, the subject
may be enlarged on the film to a magnification
of 1.04 of the life size. Such extreme close-up
photography is d special advantage of the
single lens reflex camera because there is no
parallax problem and you do not need an
accessory viewfinder as is ordinarily required
Ior rangefinder type cameras.
