BATTERY LOADING
The built-in through-the-lens cds exposure metering system of your
KR-s SUPER operates on power activated by two 1.5V SR-44 silver ox-
ide batteries, which are supplied with your camera.
1. Remove Battery compartment cover (29) by unscrewing it counter-
clockwise with a coin (Fig. 1).
2. Place the two batteries into the compartment with the plus (+) side
down. as illustrated in the battery holder of Battery compartment
Cover (29) (Fig. 2). Make sure that the batteries are correctly
placed. lf incorrectly placed, Exposure Meter Needle (37) in the
viewfinder will not move at all.
3. Replace Battery compartment cover (29) by screwing it clockwise
until it stops, but do not force.
Tips for Better Results
* Before loading, wipe off the surfaces of the batteries with a clean
and dry cloth to ensure they are free of fingerprints or stains'
* when your camera is not used for a long period, remove the batter-
and keep it in a cool, drY Place.
* The batteries will last for about one year in normal use' We sug-
gest you replace them once a year or sooner.
* The batteries may explode if disposed of in fire.
* Replace the batteries when the Exposure Meter Needle (37) in the
viewfinder does not move in direct sunlight or other bright lights
with Film Advance Lever (1 1) moved to "ON" position (Refer to
"METER/SHUTTER ON-OFF CONTROL"). For replacement, use two
new Mallory MS76, Eveready 576 or equivalent.

FtLM LOADING
Your KR-5 SUPERis designedto accept any standard35 mm color or
blackand white film roll in cartridge (12,20,24 or 36 exposures).
1. Press Shutter Release Button (g) to see that the shutter
has been released. (Refer to "METER"/SHUTTERON-OFF CON-
TROL'')
2. Pull up Film RewindKnob (1) untit BackCover(33) snaps open (Fig.
3). Then, pull it out all the way to allow for insertionof the film car-
tridge.
3. Swing open Back Cover (33) and place a film cartrifue into Film
Chamber(28) (Fig.a).
4. Pushdown Film RewindKnob (1) to its originalpositionby turning
Film Rewind crank (2) clockwise or counterclockwiseso that Film
RewindShaft (27) engagesthe film cartridgeand the film cartridge
is in place(Fig.5).
5. Draw the film leaderacross the cameraback and insert it into one
of the slits of Film Take-upSpoot (32) (Fig.6). To bring the stit into
a convenientposition,rotate Film Take-upSpool (32) in the direc_
tion of arrow with your finger.
6. Rotate Film Take-up Spool (32) by advancingFilm Advance Lever
(1 1) to take up any slack in the film and checkto see that the film
tip is firmly hooked onto Film Take-upSpoot (32) (Fig.7) and that
sprocket holes on the film are fully engagedon Sprocket Teeth (22)
(Fig.8).
7. Closeand press BackCover (33) firmly until it snapsshut.
8. AdvanceFilm Advance Lever(1 1) two or three times,after depress-
ing Shutter ReleaseButton (9) each time, until the number,,1.,is
oppositethe indexline in ExposureCounter(12) (Fig.9). Because
the first portions of the film can not be used for picture taking as
they have alreadybeen exposedto light and two or three blank ex_
posuresshould be made before taking your first picture. Now it is
ready for your first picture.

Tips for Better Results
* Always load your camera in the shade or in a poorly-lit-place, never
in direct sunlight or other bright light.
* As you advance Film Advance Lever (1 1), Film Rewind Knob (1) will
simultaneously rotate counterclockwise indicating that the film is
properly advanced. I
SETTING FILM SPEED
Each type of film, color or black and white, has its own sensitivity to
light. This sensitivity is assigned by a numerical value described as an
ASA rating (U.S.A. Standard) or a DIN rating (Europe and most other
countries). In most cases, both ASA and DIN ratings are imprinted on
the film package, as well as the data sheet packed with the film and
film cartridge itself. The higher the film speed rating, the more sensi-
tive the film is to light. that is, less light is required for a proper ex-
posure. The film speed, therefore, is an important element in insuring
that the through-the-lens metering system of your camera determines
the correct shutter speed and f-stop combinations for a given lighting
situation.
1. Depress Film Speed Lock Button (a) (Fig. 1O) and rotate the outer
ring of Film Speed Dial (3) until the ASA (or DIN) number of your
film is exactly opposite the index line on the outer ring of Film
Speed Dial (3) and click stops. For example, if the film is ASA 1OO,
make the correct setting at "1OO" (Fig. 1 1).
Tips for Better Results
* Each time a film with a new film speed rating is loaded in your
camera,the film speed must be set to assureaccuratelyexposed
photographs.View original page 13Page 14 · Read text
M ETER/SHUTTER"ON-OFF" CONTROL
Film Advance Lever {11)controls exposure meter "ON-OFF" and shut-
ter release "LOCK-UNLOCK" to protect your camera from unnecessary
depletion of the batteries and accidental shutter release when not
taking pictures. 4O" pre-advance and 1 35" advance angle assures
faster winding and permits continuous operation for sequence photo-
graphy.
1. When Fillm Advance Lever (1 1) is moved to "ON" position (Fig.12l,
the electric circuit is switched on and Shutter Release Button (9) is
unlocked.
2. Whenever picture-taking is completed, be sure to move Film
Advance Lever (1 1 ) to "OFF" position (Fig. 1 3). The electric circuit
is switched off and Shutter Release Button (9) is locked.
Tips for Better Results
* To prevent unnecessary consumption of the batteries, be sure to
move Film Advance Lever (1 1)to "OFF" position when not taking
pictures.
CORRECTEXPOSURE
YourKR-SSUPERhasa built-in,through-the-lens,full apertureCdSex-
posure meter which measures the light coming through the lens and
enables you to set the proper exposure for a given lighting condition.
The correct exposure is obtained by setting the shutter speed and
f-stop in the correct combination for the film, subject, and lighting con-
ditions.
1. Set the desired shutter speed opposite Shutter Speed Index Line (6)
by rotating Shutter Speed Dial (7I(Fig. 14). (Read "SETT|NG THE
SHUTTER'1. Shutter Speed Needle (38) in the viewfinder moves
according to the shutter speed you set.
2. Move Film Advance Lever (1 1) to "ON" position lFiS.12l
www.orphancameras.comView original page 14Page 15 · Read text
3. Hold your camera,look at your subjectthrough the ViewfinderEye-
piece(24) and check ExposureMeter Needle(37).
4. Rotate F-stop (lens opening) Ring (21) and align ExposureMeter
Needle(37) with Shutter Speed Needle(38) (Fig. 15). lf Exposure
Meter Needle (37) goes above Shutter Speed Needle (38). this
means "overexposure"(Fig. 16); select a faster shutter speed or a
smallerlens opening.On the contrary,if the needlegoes below the
Shutter Speed Needle(38), this means "underexposure."(Fig. 17);
choosea slower shutter speedor largerlens opening.
lf you want to use a specificf-stop for depth of field control, you may
set the f-stop first and then the shutter speed,while other procedures
are the same as above.
This setting may be used when you take a portrait or the like,intention-
ally makingyour subject attractivewith the backgroundor the scene in
front of it blurred. The sharpnessof your subjectdependson the f-stop
setting. (Referto "DEPTHOF FIELD").
Exposure Compensation
Though you learnedhow correct exposureis obtained,inunusuallight-
ing conditions,the desired effect or the correct exposurewill not be
obtainedin the final pictureand exposurecompensationis necessary.
Back-lit subjects
When the light is behind the subject,
1 . Move close to the subjectfor meter reading,then, move back,focus
and shoot.
2. lf it is impossible to approach the subject, adjust either shutter
speed or lens openingto overexpose.lf you choose to adjust the
lens opening,open up the apertureby 1 or 2 stops.View original page 15Page 16 · Read text
Spot-lighted subjects and dark backgrounds
1 . Move close to the subject for meter reading,then, move back,focus
and shoot.
2. lf it is impossibleto approach the subject, adjust either shutter
speed or lens openingto underexpose.lf you choose to adjust the
lens opening,closedown the apertureby 1 or 2 stops.
Tips for Better Results
* When the Shutter Speed Dial (7) is set at "B" (Bulb),set the desired
f-stop and expose manuallybecausemeteringwith the built-in ex-
posuremeter is not possible.
* Outsideof the meter's coupling range,the exposuremeter will not
respondcorrectly. For example,couplingrangefor ASA 10O film is
from 1/8 sec.atI/1 .4 to 1/l OOOsec.at f/16 (EV4 - 1 8). tf the light
is too dim, use supplementarylighting.
SETTING SHUTTER SPEED
The shutter controls the length of time the light is allowed to strike the
film. The speed at which the shutter opens and closes is measuredin
fractions of a second that correspond to the numbers on Shutter
Speed Dial (7). For example,"5O0" is 1/5OOsec.,"125" is 1/125 sec..
and so on.
* Simply turn Shutter Speed Dial (7) until the desiredshutter speedis
set oppositeSlutter SpeedIndexLine(6) (Fig.1a).
Generallyspeaking.when shooting outdoors in bright or hazy sun-
fight,"125" (1/125 sec.l is suitable for most pictures. When taking
your subjects in motion, "25O" 11l25Osec.)to "1OOO"(1/1OOOsec.)
should be used ....Faster speeds will "freeze" extremely fast moving
subjects (sports, racing cars, etc.). When indoors in a well-lit room,
"60" (1/60 sec.)should be sufficient to take your subjects,depending
upon the film you are using. In poorly lit places,or when trying to
achievethe maximumdepth of field,"3O" (1/3Osec.)to "8" (1/8 sec.)
www.orphancameras.comView original page 16Page 17 · Read text
are available. When set at "8", the shutter will remain open as long as
Shutter ReleaseButton (9) is depressed(preferablyby a cable release)'
The "B" setting is used for long night exposureusing street lights or
electricsigns as a light source,or under poor lighting conditionswhen
flash cannot be used.
Tips for Better Results
* When using slow speeds(below 1/30 sec.),use a tripod or other
firm support to prevent the movement of the camera and blurred
pictures. When shooting with a telephoto lens,be especiallycare-
ful to minimizethe camerashake.
* Do not set Shutter SpeedDial (7) betweenmarkedspeeds.
* Shutter SpeedDial (7) does not revolvebetween"1OOO"and "8".
SETTING APERTURE
The lens openingdeterminesthe amount of light enteringthe lens and
exposingthe film. The smallerthe f-stop (f/2.O, f /2.8, etc.).the wider
the lens opening and the greaterthe amount of light enteringthe lens.
The fargerthe f-stop (f/16,t111, etc.),the smallerthe lens openingand
the smallerthe amount of light enteringthe lens. As the lens opening
is moved from f/16 to f/l 1, the amount of light entering the lens is
doubfed.As the lens openingis moved fromtl2.8 tol/4, the amount of
enteringlight is cut in half(Fig.18).
* Rotate F-stop Ring (21) until the desired f-stop is opposite the
apertureindex line (Fig.19). Click stop is providedto prevent acci-
. dental movementfrom the chosensetting.
Tips for Better Results
* lf necessary,you may set F-stop Ring (21) between two f-stops.View original page 17Page 18 · Read text
VIEWINGAND FOCUSING
Becauseyou are viewing through the lens,there is no parallaxproblem.
The subject appearsin your viewfinderexactlyas it will appearin your
picture. This enablesyou to determinethe exact composition of your
subjects before pressing the Shutter ReleaseButton (9). Even when
you shoot close-ups.there is no danger of accidentallycutting off a
portion of your picture. To assurethe sharpestpossiblepictures,your
KR-s SUPER has a three way focusing screen with diagonal Split-
image Spot (36), Microprism-imageBand (35), and Fresnelfield. you
can selectthree way focusingaccordingto your subject.
1. Lock into the ViewfinderEyepiece(24! to composeyour subject.
2. Split-imageFocusingis useful when the subject has either verticalir or horizontallines.
RotateFocusingRing (19) untilthe split imagein Split-imageSpot
(36) forms a single image. When it is out of focus, your subject is
split into two parts (Fis.22L
3. Microprism-imageFocusingis useful when the subject lacks clear
verticalor horizontallines.
Rotate Focusing Ring (19) until the image in Microprism-image
Band(35) appearssharp(Fig.22).
4. You can also focus with any part of the area surroundingMicro-
prism-imageBand (35). This is most useful when taking pictures
with ultra telephoto lenses or with a bellows for close-up photo-
graphy, macro lenses,extensionrings becausethe other focusing
aids may darkenappreciably.
UNLOADING FILM
After the last pictureon the roll of film has beentaken, rewind the film
and unloadyour camera.
1. PressFilm RewindReleaseButton(31)(Fig.21).
2. Lift up Film Rewind Crank (2) and turn it clockwise until Film Re-
wind ReleaseButton (31) stops revolvingand you feel the film
www.orphancameras.comView original page 18Page 19 · Read text
tension released (Fig. 221. This indicates that the film has been
completely rewound into the cartridge.
3. Open Back Cover (33) by pulling up Film Rewind Knob (1).
4. Remove the film cartridge and have the film processed as soon as
possible.
Tips for Better Results
* Always unload your camera in the shade or in a poorly-lit place,
never in direct sunlight or other bright light.
* When you reach the end of the roll of film, Film Advance Lever (1 1)
will tighten and not advance. lf this happens, do not advance Film
Advance Lever (11) by force for "Just one more shot", otherwise
the film will be torn out of the cartridge.
* Film Rewind Release Button (31)will remain in place once it is
pressed, and return automatically to its original position when Film
Advance Lever (1 1 ) is advanced.
TAKING FLASH PICTURES
You can use a flash at night or in a dimly lit room as well as for supple-
mentary lighting in outdoor photography. The camera and electronic
ffash wilf be fully synchronizedwith the shutter speed at "8" and 1/8
sec.to 1/125 sec.
* Mount a flash unit with a built-in hot shoe contact on Hot Shoe (5).
Tips for Better Results
* Use a flash unit with a built-in hot shoe contact. The camerais not
equippedwith flash terminalfor a flash unit with connectingcord.
* "125" 11/125 sec.)on ShutterSpeedDial (7) is markedin red as a
reminderfor electronicflash synchronization(Fig.23).View original page 19Page 20 · Read text
* Do not use other makes of flash units that have special signal pins
exclusively for their cameras, as this may damage the circuitry of
the camera.
RICOH SPEEDLITE180 AND XR SPEEDLITE24O
UseRicohXRSpeedlite180 or 24OFig.24for convenient,easyto take
flash photography.
* lf you use Speedlite 180 or 240 thylister type automatic flash units:
* You don't have to set f-stop each time, depending on the camera-
to-subject distance. Once it is set, flash unit automatically controls
the amount of light for correct exposure.

Recycling time is very short when camera-to-subject is closer.
Consequently, the battery life is prolonged compared to the non-
thylister type automatic flash units or ordinary manual type flash
units.

Exposure for manual type flash unit
The exposureis determinedby the guide number of the electronicflash
unit. The guide number representsa relationshipbetween the light
output of the flash and the speed of the film. Guide numbersfor elec-
tronic flash units are found in the technical specifications.Using the
guide number,you can determinethe coirect f-stop for a given flash si-
tuation using the following formula:
F-stop= Guidenumber + Flash-to-subjectdistance.
For example,if your flash unit has a guide numberof 16 (ASA1OO.m)
or 52.8 (ASA 1OO.ft)for the type of film you are using and your subject
is 2 meters (6.6 ft) from the flash unit as indicatedon DistanceScale
(20) after focusing,divide 16 (52.8) bv (6.6). The answer is 8; there-
fore,set F-stopRing(21)to 8 (f/8).
Tips for Better Results
* lf you are using an auto electronicflash unit with power ratio con-
trol, follow the instructionsheetspackedwith the flash unit.
* Most electronicflash units have a built-in dial or exposuretable
which enablesyou to quickly compute f-stops based on flash-to-
subjectdistances.
USING SELF-TIMER
Your KR-SSUPERhas a built-inself-timerwhich delaysthe shutter re-
lease about a maximum of 1O seconds. This enablesyou to include
yourselfin your own picturesand is also of benefit in taking close-ups
or photomicrographswherecameramovementmust be avoided.
1 . First,advanceFilm AdvanceLever(1 1).
2. Simply move Self-timerLever(15) counterclockwise(Fig.25).
According to the degreeyou have moved it down, you can adjust
the operatingtime. Forthe maximumdelay,move it until it stops.
3. Press Shutter ReleaseButton (9) to start the self-timer moving.
Then the Self-timerLED (14) lights up to indicatethe self-timeris
activated(Fig.26).
_t3_View original page 21Page 22 · Read text
Tips for Better Result
You can set the Self-timer Lever (15) first and then advance the
Film Advance Lever (1 1).
The camera should be placed on a tripod or other sturdy support
when using self-timer.
* When using a tripod with a long thread length (more than 5.7 mm),
be careful not to forcibly screw in the thread further than the depth
of the socket.
CHANGINGLENSES

Tips for Better Result
* Always make sure the lens is properly mounted.
* Do not touch any of the internal parts or permit dust or dirt to enter
the camera body when removing or attaching lenses.
* Protect the inside of the camera by putting on the body cap when-
ever the camera is carried or kept with the lens removed.f DEPTH OF FIELD
When you focus on a specific subject, an area in front of and behind
the subject will also appear reasonably sharp in your picture.
This area of acceptable sharpness is called "Depth of Field". The depth
of field is determined by the f-stop you select and the distance from the
in-focus subject to the film plane. As you get closer to your subject, or
as you open your lens (for example, from f /16 to f /2.O the depth of field
becomes shallower. By stopping the lens down (for example, from
f /2.O to f/1 6), the depth of field becomes deeper.

* Use the lens cap to protect the lens when not taking pictures.
* Protect your camera from dust, dirt, water, rain, dampness, salt air
and rough handling.
* Never expose your camera to excessivety high or low temperatures
for an extended period of time. In extremely hot climates, do not
leave your camera inside closed automobiles during the daytime or
in direct sunlight.
* In extremely cold climates, do not expose your camera to the outer
air except when in use, then gradually expose your camera to the
outer air to prevent the lens from clouding.
lf exposed to extremely cold climates, the exposure meter batteries
may fail to operate properly. Keep your camera inside your clothing
until taking a picture.
* Never touch the surface of the lens, metal focal plane shutter cur-r tain, reflex mirror, etc. with your fingers.
* To clean the lens, gently wipe it in a circular motion with a lens
cleaning paper or a soft, clean, lintless cloth.
* Do not wipe the camera body with chemicals, such as benzine,
thinner, etc. Use only a soft cloth or cotton swab sprinkled LIGHT-
LY with alcohol on the camera body. Do not use them on the lens
because they can affect coating.
* When your camera is not in use for an extended period of time, put
on the lens cap, remove the batteries, place your camera in its car-
. rying case together with silica gel or other desiccant, and store it in
a dry, cool place. Never store your camera in places where the tem-
peratures are excessively high or low.
