BATTERY LOADING
The built-in through-the-lens CdS exposure metering system of your
SINGLEX II operates on power activated by one 1,35V H-D mercury
battery, which is supplied together with your camera.
 1. Remove Mercury Battery Compartment Cover (EE) by
    unscrewing it counterclockwise with a coin.
 2. Place the mercury battery into the compartment with the plus
    "f  " side up (Fig. 1). For your convenience, the "f  " indicator  is
   marked in the back of Mercury Battery Compartment Cover (EE).
   Make sure that the mercury battery is correctly placed.  lf
    incorrectly placed, the exposure meter needle in the viewfinder
    will not move at all.
 3. Replace Mercury Battery Compartment Cover (EE) by screwing  it
    clockwise until it stops.
 *  Before loading, wipe off the surfaces of the mercury battery with
   a clean and dry cloth to ensure they are free of fingerprints or
     sta   i ns.

 * When your camera is not used for a long period, remove the
   mercury battery and keep it in a dry place,
 * The mercury battery will last for about one year in normal use.
 *  Replace the mercury battery when the exposure meter needle in
    the viewfinder does not move in direct sunlight or other bright
    lights with Exposure Meter Button (M) depressed. For
   replacement. use Mallory RM625, Eveready EPX625 or
    equivalent.
 * The mercury battery may explode if disposed of in fire.

FILM LOADING
Your SINGLEX II is designed to accept any standard 35 mm color or
black and white film roll in cartridge 112,20,24 or 36 exposures).
  1. First of all, press Shutter Release Button (O) to see that the
     shutter has been released.
  2.  Pull up Film Rewind Knob (D) until Back Cover (DD) snaps open
     (Fig. 2). This will automatically reset Exposure Counter (N) to
    "S" (Start).
  3. Swing open Back Cover (DD) and place a film cartridge into Film
    Chamber (Z) (Fig. 3).
  4. Push back Film Rewind Knob (D) to its original position by                                   l{l'
     turning Film Rewind Crank (E) clockwise or counterclockwise so
    that Film Rewind Shaft (U) engages the film cartridge and that
    the film cartridge is seated in place (Fig. 4).
  5. Draw the film leader across the camera back and insert it into
    one of the slits of Film Take-up Spool (Y) (Fig. 5). To bring the
      slit into a more convenient position, rotate Film Take-up Spool
     (Y) in the direction of the arrow with your finger.
  6. Rotate Film Take-up Spool (Y) by advancing Film Advance Lever
      (L) to take up any slack in the film and checkto see that the film
      tip is firmly hooked onto Film Take-up Spool (Y) (Fig.6) and that
    both sides of sprocket holes on the film are fully engaged on
    Sprocket Teeth (X) (Fig. 7).
  7. Close and press Back Cover (DD) firmly until it snaps shut.
  8. Advance Film Advance Lever (L) two or three times, while
     depressing Shutter Release Button (O) each time, until the
    number "l"  is opposite the black index line in Exposure Counter
     (N) (Fig. 8). Now it is ready for your first picture.
  * Always load your camera in the shade or at a poorly-lit place,
    never in direct sunlight or other bright lights,
  * As you advance Film Advance Lever (L), Film Rewind Knob (D)
     will simultaneously rotate counterclockwise indicating that the
     film is properly advanced. lf Film Rewind Knob (D) does not
      rotate, open Back Cover (DD) and re-load your camera.

Film Reminder Ring
To remind you of the type (color or black and white) of the film you
are using, turn Film Reminder Ring (F) and set the corresponding type
of your film to the black index line (Fig. 9). Use the "EMPTY"
marking if your camera is not loaded.

SETTING FILM SPEED
Each type of film. color or black and white, has its own sensitivity to
light. This sensitivity is assigned py 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 the film cartridge itself. The higher the film speed rating, the
more sensitive the film is to light; that is, less light is required for a
proper exposure. The film speed, therefore, is an important element
in ensuring 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. Lift up the outer ring of Shutter Speed Dial (O) (Fig. 10) and
     rotate  it until the ASA number of your film is exactly opposite the
    central part of Film Speed Window (A). For example,  if the film
     is ASA 100, make the correct setting by showing "1OO" (Fig.
     1 1).
 2. Release the outer ring to lock the film speed setting in the
    camera.

 * The scale (Fig. 12)represents the relation between ASA and DIN
   numbers. Figures in parentheses represent intermediate film
    speeds.

 * Each time a film with a new film speed rating is loaded in your
    camera, the film speed must be set in Film Speed Window (A) to
    assure accurately exposed photographs.

CORRECT EXPOSURE
 Your SINGLEX II has a built-in through-the-fens CdS exposure 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 conditions.
  1. Set the desired shutter speed opposite the black index line by
     rotating Shutter Speed Dial (O) (Fig. 13). (Read "SETTING THE
    SHUTTER".)
  2. Rotate F-Stop Ring (G) and set the f-stop at its full opening (the
     smallest f-stop) (Fig. 14).
  3. Hold your camera, look your subject through Viewfinder Eyepiece
      (T) and focus the lens. For focusing the lens, refer to "VIEWING
   AND FOCUSING",
  4. Press Exposure Meter Button (M) (Fig. 15) and at the same time,
    turn F-Stop Ring (G) until the exposure meter needle in the                  i
    viewfinder centers between the " +" and      exposure





                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            1    warning marks on the exposure index bracket (Fig. 16). lf the                          i
    exposure meter needle is on the                                                                       " +"  area, this means                             i

On the contrary, if on the "-"  area, this
    means "underexposure" (Fig. 18); choose a slower shutter speed
    or a larger lens opening.
 lf you want to use a specific f-stop for the depth of field control, you
may set the f-stop first and then the shutter speed. while other
procedures are same as above. This setting may be used when you
take a portrait or the like, intentionally making your subject attractive
with the back ground or the scene in front of it blurred. How your
subject turns out in the picture depends on the f-stop setting. (Refer
   ,,DEPTHtO      OF FIELD".)
The chart (Fig. 19) shows the exposure value range (shutter speed
and f-stop combinations) of your camera's metering system for
selected film speeds.

* Be careful that underexposed pictures of your subjects may be
    taken under the back-lit condition.
 * Make sure that meter is within EV range after shutter, f-stop and
   ASA (DlN) range have been set. lf meter is out of EV range, it
     will not operate. See Fig. 19 in your instruction manual.

SETTTNG 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
measured in fractions of a second that correspond to the numbers on
 Shutter Speed Dial (O). For example, " 1000" is 1/ 1000 sec., " 125"
 is 1/125 sec.. "4" is 1/4 sec.. "1" is one full second and so on.
  1. Simply turn Shutter Speed Dial (O) until the desired shutter
    speed is set opposite the black index line (Fig. 13).
Generally speaking, when shooting outdoors in bright or  hrazy
sunlight, "125" (1/125 sec.) is suitable for most pictures. When
taking your subjects in motion. "25O" (1/250 sec.) to "1000"
(1/1000 sec.) 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. When in
poorly-lit places, or to achieve the maximum depth of field (the area
of acceptable sharpness in front of and behind your subject). "30"
(1/30 sec.) to " 1" (1 sec.) are available. When set at "B". the shutter
will remain open as long as Shutter Release Button (O) is depressed
(preferably by a cable release). The "B" setting is used for long night
exposures using street lights or electric signs as a light source, or
under poor lighting conditions when flash cannot be used.
 * When using slow speeds, use a tripod or other firm support to
    prevent the movement of the camera and blurred pictures.
 * Do not set Shutter Speed Dial (O) between marked speeds, but
    at a click stop in accordance with engraved speeds only.

SETTING APERTURE
The lens opening determines the amount of light entering the lens
and exposing the film. The smaller the f-stop ff/2.O, f/2.8, etc.), the
wider the lens opening and the greater the amount of light entering
the lens. The larger the f-stop lf/16,f/11, etc.), the smaller the lens
opening and the smaller the amount of light entering the lens. As the
lens opening is moved from  f /16 to  f / 11 , the amount of light entering
the lens is doubled. As the lens opening is moved from f/z.O tof /2.8,
the amount of entering light is cut in half.
  1. Rotate F-Stop Ring (G) until the desired f-stop is opposite the
     aperture index line (Fig. 20). Click stops are provided to prevent
     accidental movement from the setting made.
  *   lf necessary, you may set F-Stop Ring (G) between two f-stops'
VIEWING AND FOCUSING
Since you are viewing through the lens, there is no parallax
problem..... What you are viewing in the viewfinder will exactly
appear in your picture. This enables you to determine the exact
composition of your subjects before pressing Shutter Release Button
(O). Even when you shoot close-ups. there is no danger of
accidentally cutting off a portion of your picture. To assure the
sharpest possible pictures, your SINGLEX II has a microprism image
spot in the center of the viewfinder which exaggerates in-focus and
out-of-focus images.
  1. Look into Viewfinder Eyepiece (T) to compose your picture.
  2. Rotate Focusing Ring (J) until your subject becomes clear in the
     microprism image sPot(Fig. 21).

  * When taking pictures with ultra telephoto lenses or in close-up
     photography with bellows units, macro lenses or extension rings,
       it sometimes becomes difficult to focus using the microprism
                          -8-

image spot. In this case, focus on the ground glass ring
   i{       surrounding the microprism image spot or use the entire Fresnel
       jj          field as a guide to achieve sharpness.

  TAKING FLASH PICTURES
 ${
# {$ A, Flash Equipment with Connecting Cord
   'il Your SINGLEX II provides flash terminals for both,,X,,and,,M,,
   synchronization. "X" Flash Terminal (BB) is used when using an
    electronic flash unit or No. SM frash bulbs and "M" Flash rerminal
   (CC) when using flash butbs Nos. b, 58, 25, 2SB, MS, MSB, M2,
   M2B, M3. M3B, AG1, AG1B, O and 68, and ftash cubes.

     B. Cordless Electronic Flash Unit
         lf you are using an electronic flash unit with a built-in hot shoe
       contact,  it can be attached directly to Hot Shoe (K) on top of the
      camera pentaprism. The ca.rnera and flash will then be fully synchro-
       nized through the contacts in Hot Shoe (K) witfr any shutter speed up
      to 1/125 sec.
       * "125" (1/125 sec)on Shutter Speed Dial (O) and "X" on Hot
         Shoe (K) are marked in red as a reminder for electronic flash
           synchronization (Fig. 24l'.    .
       * The chart (Fig.25) shows the combination of the terminal and
          shutter speeds for various flash situations. Use only these
          combinations to ensure proper flash synchronization.
       *  Insert a plastic cover, which is supplied with your camera, into
         Hot Shoe (K) when not in use to protect the contact point.

     C. Exposure for Flash Photography
     The exposure is determined by the guide number of the flash bulb or
       electronic flash unit, The guide number represents a relationship
      between the light output of the flash and the speed of the film, Guide
     numbers for flash bulbs can be found on the package and guide
     numbers for electronic flash units are found in the technical
       specifications. Using the guide number, you can determine the cor-
       rect f-stop for a given flash situation using the following formula:
          F-stop :  Guide number .  Flash-to-subject distance.
      For example,  if your flash unit has a guide number of 16 (m) or 52.8
          (ft.) for the type of film you are using, and your subject is 2 meters
       (6.6 ft.) from the flash unit as indicated on Distance Scale (H) after
       focusing, divide 16 (52.8) by 2 (6.6). The answer is 8; therefore, set
      F-Stop Ring (G) to 8 (f/8).

\

* Most electronic flash units have a built-in dial or exposure table
   which enables you to quickly compute f-stops based on
     flash-to-subject distances.

USING SELF-TIMER
Your SINGLEX II has a built-in Self-timer Lever (C) which delays the
shutter release from 7 to 15 seconds. This enables you to include
yourself in your own pictures and is also of benefit in taking close-ups
or photomicrographs where camera movement must be avoided.
  1. First, advance Film Advance Lever (L).
 2. Merely move Self-timer Lever (C) counterclockwise (Fig. 26).
    According to the degree you have moved  it down, the shutter will
     fire within 7 to 15 seconds. For the maximum delay, move  it
     until it stops,
 3. Press Shutter Release Button (O) to start the self-timer moving.
  * The camera should be placed on a tripod or other sturdy support
   when using self-timer.

CHANGING LENSES
When changing lenses, please do as follows:
  1. To remove the lens, grasp the lens firmly around the lens barrel
    and continuously turn  it counterclockwise until it can be removed
     (Fig. 271.
 2. To attach another lens, turn it clockwise until the lens is firmly
    seated in position.
 * Do not touch the reflex mirror in the camera body when
    removing or attaching lenses.

   DEPTH OF FIELD
    When you focus on a specific subject, an area in front of and behind
     the subject will appear acceptably 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/16tof/2.8l., the depth
      of field becomes shallower. By stopping the lens down (for example.
      from  f /2.8 to  f /16), the depth of field becomes more deep. The depth
      of field can be pre-determined in the following ways:
    A. Depth of Field Preview Button
      Pressing Preview Button (M) (Fig.28) will set the lens at the cor-
      responding opening you previously set on F-Stop Ring (G). This will
     enable you to preview the area of acceptable sharpness in the picture
     you take. The viewfinder will become dark corresponding to the
      f-stop your previously set on F-Stop Ring (G). Preview Button (M)
       will automatically return to its original position when you leave your
      finger off it and the viewfinder will become bright as before.

    B. Depth of Field Scale
      After you have set the lens opening and have focused the camera, the
      area of acceptable sharpness in front of and behind your subject can
     be also determined on Depth of Field Scale (l). Locate on Depth of
       Field Scale (l) the two numbers corresponding to the f-stop you have

INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHY
    For infrared photography using infrared films, the correction of
    Distance Scale (H) is necessary because "infrared light rays" focus on
    a film plane slightly behind that of "visible light rays".
      1. Normally focus on your subject and note the camera-to-subject
        distance opposite the distance index line on Distance Scale (H).
      2. Turn Focusing Ring (J) until this camera-to-subject distance
        setting is opposite the infrared index line. For example, if
        Distance Scale (H) reads 5 m (16.5 ft.) after focusing, merely
          shift the "5" (16) scale to the "l" (red) position (Fig.30).
     *  Infrared radiation varies with the degree of infrared light rays in
      the atmosphere. Use the infrared focus setting only as an
       approximation. For best results, use the smallest f-stop the light
        allows to provide the sufficient depth of field to include all
        important elements of the picture in the area of acceptable
        sharpness.

  AUTO/MAN UAL SWITC H ,t'4*
 i$'n  When using non-automatic accessories (bellows units, etc.), it  is
   sometimes required that you disengage the automatic diaphragm
 {ri   feature of your lens. Standard lenses for your SINGLEX II and most
    universal thread mount lenses provide Auto/Manual Switch Lever
*   (FF) for this purpose.
      1. To disengage the automatic feature, move Auto/Manual Switch
 I       Lever (FF) to "M" (Manuat) (Fig. 31).
 i    2. To engage the automatic diaphragm, return Auto/Manual Switch *:&      Lever (FF) to "A" (Automatic).
