We are most gratified that you have selected the XR-1 which we are sure will give you many delightful
years of picture-taking pleasure. The XR- 1 is a 35 mm SLR camera which assures you of superb optics
and outstanding mechanical performance and reliability and which will justify your choice for years to
come.
Before Using Your XR-1 .....
Please read this instruction booklet carefully and familiarize yourself with the equipment and its features
thoroughly. Your pleasure in using your XR-1 will be greater if you know your camera properly.
BATTERY LOADING
The built-in through-the-lens CdS exposure metering
system of your XR-1 operates on power activated by two
1.5V G13 silver-oxide batteries, which are supplied
together with your camera.
1. Remove Battery Compartment Cover (32) by
unscrewing it counterclockwise with a coin (Fig. 1).View original page 5Page 6 · Read text
2. Place the two batteries into the compartment with the
plus side down. as illustrated in the battery holder of
Battery Compartment Cover (32) (Fig. 2). Make sure that
the batteries are correctly placed. If incorrectly placed,
Exposure Meter Needle (40) in the viewfinder will not
move at all.
3. Replace Battery Compartment Cover (32) 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 batteries and keep them in a cool. dry
place.
The batteries will last for about one year in normal use. We suggest you replace them regularly once a
year on your birthday or sooner.
* The batteries may explode if disposed of in fire.
BATTERY CHECK
Check the power of the silver-oxide batteries after loading them.
1. Turn Battery Check Ring (12) clockwise until it stops
(Fig. 3).
2. If Exposure Meter Needle (40) in the viewfinder swings
to Battery Power Check Mark "C" (42), the batteries have
sufficient power (Fig. 4).View original page 6Page 7 · Read text
www.butkus.us
3. If Exposure Meter Needle (40) does not move or stays
below Battery Power Check Mark "C" (42), the batteries
must be replaced. For replacement, use Mallory MS76,
Eveready S76 or equivalent.
Tips for Better Results
* Do not turn Battery Check Ring (12) often in order to avoid unnecessary consumption of the batteries.
FILM LOADING
Your XR-1 is designed to accept any standard 35 mm color or black and white film roll in cartridge (12,
20. 24 or 36 exposures).
1. First of all. press Shutter Release Button (9) to see that
the shutter has been released.
2. Pull up Film Rewind Knob (1) until Back Cover (36)
snaps open (Fig. 5). Then. pull it out all the way to allow
for insertion of the film cartridge.View original page 7Page 8 · Read text
Swing open Back Cover (36) and place a film cartridge into Film Chamber (31) (Fig. 6). 4. Push down Film Rewind Knob (1) to its original position by turning Film Rewind Crank (2) clockwise or counterclockwise so that Film Rewind Shaft (30) engages the film cartridge and that the film cartridge is seated in place (Fig. 7). 5. Draw the film leader across the camera back and insert it into one of the slits of Film Take-up Spool (35) (Fig. 8). To bring the slit into a convenient position. rotate Film Take-up Spool (35) in the direction of arrow with your finger.View original page 8
Page 9 · Read text
www.butkus.us
6. Rotate Film Take-up Spool (35) by advancing Film
Advance Lever ( 1 1 ) to take up any slack in the film and
check to see that the film tip is firmly hooked onto Film
Take-up Spool (35) (Fig. 9) and that sprocket holes on the
film are fully engaged on Sprocket Teeth (24) (Fig. 10).
7. Close and press Back Cover (36) firmly until it snaps
shut.
8. Advance Film Advance Lever ( 11 ) two or three times.
after depressing Shutter Release Button (9) each time. until
the number 1 is opposite the index line in Exposure
Counter (1,3) (Fig. 11), because the first portions of the
film can not be used for picture taking as they have already
been exposed to light and two or three blank exposures
should 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 (11), Film Rewind Knob (1 ) will simultaneously rotate
counterclockwise indicating that the film is properly advanced.
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 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
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.View original page 9Page 10 · Read text
1. Depress Film Speed Lock Button (4) (Fig. 12) 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 100, make the correct
setting at "100" (Fig. 13).
2. Take your finger off Film Speed Lock Button (4) to lock
the film speed setting in the camera.
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 assure
accurately exposed photographs.
METER/SHUTTER "ON-OFF" CONTROL
Film Advance Lever (11) controls exposure meter "ON-OFF'' and shutter release "LOCK-UNLOCK" to protect
your camera from unnecessary depletion of the batteries and accidental shutter release when not taking pictures.
40°pre-advance and 135°advance angle assures faster winding and permits continuous operation for sequence
photography.View original page 10Page 11 · Read text
www.butkus.us
1. When Film Advance Lever (11) is moved to "ON" position
(Fig. 14), 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 (11) to "OFF'' position (Fig. 15). 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 ( 11 ) to ''OFF''
position when not taking pictures.
CORRECT EXPOSURE
Your XR-1 has a built-in through-the-lens full aperture 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.View original page 11Page 12 · Read text
1. Set the desired shutter speed opposite Shutter Speed
Index Line (6) by rotating Shutter Speed Dial (7) (Fig.
16). (Read ''SETTING THE SHUTTER''). Shutter Speed
Indicator (41) in the viewfinder indicates the shutter
speed you just set.
2. Move Film Advance Lever (11) to ''ON'' position (Fig. 14)
3. Hold your camera. look at your subject through the Viewfinder
Eyepiece (27) and check Exposure Meter Needle (40).View original page 12Page 13 · Read text
www.butkus.us
4. Rotate F-Stop (lens opening) Ring (22) and align Exposure Meter
Needle (40) with Shutter Speed Indicator (41 ) (Fig. 17). F-stop is
visible through Aperture Readout Window (43).
If Exposure Meter Needle (40) goes above Shutter Speed Indicator
(41), this means "overexposure"'' (Fig. 18); select a faster shutter speed
or a smaller lens opening. On the contrary.
If the needle goes below Shutter Speed Indicator (41). this means
''underexposure'' (Fig. 19); choose a slower shutter speed or a larger
lens opening.
If you want to use a specific f-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, intentionally making your subject attractive with
the background or the scene in front of it blurred. How your subject turns out in the picture depends on the f-
stop setting. (Refer to ''DEPTH OF FIELD''). The chart (Fig. 20) shows the exposure value range (shutter speed
and f-stop combinations) of your camera's metering system for selected film speeds.
Exposure Compensation
Though you learned how correct exposure is obtained, in unusual lighting conditions, the desired effect or the
correct exposure will not be obtained in the final picture and exposure compensation is necessary.
Back-lit subjectsView original page 13Page 14 · Read text
When the light is behind the subjects,
1. Move close to the subject for meter reading, then. move back. focus and shoot.
2. If it is impossible to approach the subject, adjust either shutter speed or lens opening to overexpose. When
you adjust the lens opening, open up the aperture by 1 or 2 stops.
Spot-lighted subjects and dark backgrounds
1. Move close to the subject for meter reading, then. move back. focus and shoot.
2. If it is impossible to approach the subject, adjust either shutter speed or lens opening to underexpose. When
you adjust the lens opening. close down the aperture by 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 manually because
metering with the built-in exposure meter is not possible.
* Do not make an exposure setting by pressing Depth of Field Preview Button (16) or turning Battery Check
Ring (12) because these will incorrectly influence the meter's reading.
* Outside of the meter's coupling range, the exposure meter will not respond correctly. For example, coupling
range for ASA 100 film is from 1/4 sec. at f/1.4 to 1/1000 sec. at f/16 (EV3 - 18) (Fig. 20). If the light is too
dim, use supplementary lighting.
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 measured in fractions of a second that correspond to the numbers on Shutter Speed Dial (7).
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.
* Simply turn Shutter Speed Dial (7) until the desired
shutter speed is set opposite Shutter Speed Index Line (6)
(Fig. 16).
Generally speaking. when shooting outdoors in bright or hazy sunlight. "125'' (1/125 sec.) is suitable for mostView original page 14Page 15 · Read text
www.butkus.us pictures. When taking your subjects in motion. "250" (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, "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 (9) 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. 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. In shooting with a telephoto lens, be careful to minimize the camera shake especially. * Do not set Shutter Speed Dial (7) between marked speeds. but at a click stop in accordance with indicated speeds only. * Shutter Speed Dial (7) does not revolve between "1000" and "B". SETTING APERTURE The lens opening determines the amount of light entering the lens and exposing the film. The smaller the f-stop (f/2.0. f/2.8 etc.). the wider the lens opening and the greater the amount of light entering the lens. The larger the f-stop (f/16, f/1 1, 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/2.0 to f/2.8. the amount of entering light is cut in half (Fig. 21). * Rotate F-Stop Ring (22) until the desired f-stop is opposite the aperture index line (Fig. 22). Click stops are provided to prevent accidental movement from the setting made. Tips for Better Results * If necessary you may set F-Stop Ring (22) 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 (9). 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 XR-1 has a three way focusing screen with diagonal Split-image Spot (39) Microprism-image Band (38) and Fresnel field and you can select three way focusing according to your subject.View original page 15

UNLOADING FILM
After the last picture on the roll of film has been
taken. rewind the film and unload your camera.
1. Press Film Rewind Release Button (34) (Fig.
24).
2. Lift up Film Rewind Crank (2) and turn it
clockwise until Film Rewind Release Button (34)
stops revolving and you feel the film tension
released (Fig. 25). This indicates that the film has
been completely rewound into the cartridge.
3. Open Back Cover (36) 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 (11) will tighten and refuse to advance. If 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 (34) will remain in place once it is pressed, and return automatically to its
original position when Film Advance Lever (11) is advanced.View original page 17Page 18 · Read text
MULTI-EXPOSURE
Your XR-1 has a multi-exposure device which will give
you a lot of creative fun (Fig. 26).
1. Make the first picture in the normal way.
2. For the second exposure. advance Film Advance
Lever ( 1 1 ) while keep pressing Multi-exposure
Button (25) firmly with the other hand (Fig. 27).
This will set the shutter for the second exposure
without advancing the film and Exposure Counter
(13).
Tips for Better Results
* Good results in multi-exposure depend on careful shutter speed and lens opening setting. This means. in order
to prevent overexposure of the final picture. we suggest that the first picture should be underexposed by
adjusting either shutter speed or lens opening.
* If you want, repeat the same action for the third exposure or afterwards.
* Whenever advancing the Film Advance Lever (11 ) for second exposure or afterwards. make sure that the
Multi-exposure Button (25) is pressed firmly with the other hand and watch to see that Exposure Counter (13) is
not advanced. indicating that multiexposure picture is ready to be taken.View original page 18Page 19 · Read text
www.butkus.us
Take practice shots to get yourself accustomed to the multi-exposure technique and take creative pictures of
your own.
TAKING FLASH PICTURES
You can use a flash at night or in a dimly lit room as well as for supplementary lighting in outdoor photography.
The camera and electronic flash will be fully synchronized with the shutter speed at "B'' and 1 sec. to 1/125 sec.
A. Cordless Electronic Flash Unit
If you are using an electronic flash unit with a built-in hot shoe contact. it can be attached directly to Hot Shoe
(5) on top of the camera pentaprism.
B. Flash Equipment with Connecting Cord
If your flash unit does not have a built-in hot shoe contact. attach it to Hot Shoe (5) and plug the flash cord into
the X" Flash Terminal (29).
Tips for Better Results
* 125 (1/125 sec.) on Shutter Speed Dial (7) and "X on
Hot Shoe (5) are marked in red as a reminder for
electronic flash synchronization (Fig. 28).
* When using PF M or MF class bulb. refer to the Chart
(Fig. 29), showing the synchronizing ranges of shutter
speeds. (Mike: Not used anymore dudes)
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 correct f-stop for a given flash situation using the
following formula:
F-stop = Guide number divided by 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 (20) after focusing divide 16
(52.8) by 2 (6.6). The answer is 8; therefore. set F-Stop Ring (22) to 8 (f/8).View original page 19Page 20 · Read text
Tips for Better Results
* If you are using an auto electronic flash unit with power ratio control, follow the instruction sheets packed
with the flash unit.
* 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 XR-1 has a built-in Self-timer which delays
the shutter release about maximum of 10 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 (11).
2. Merely move Self-timer Lever (15)
counterclockwise (Fig. 30). According to the
degree you have moved it down. you can adjust the
operating time. For the maximum delay, move it
until it stops.
3. Press Shutter Release Button (9) to start the self-
timer moving.
Tips for Better Results
* You can set Self-timer Lever (15) firstly and then advance Film Advance Lever (11).
* The Self-timer Lever (15) can be returned to its original position aver setting the lever, however. be careful
that the self-timer mechanism will not be disengaged.
* 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.View original page 20Page 21 · Read text

CHANGING LENSES
To mount the lens on the camera
1. Mount the lens by lining up the red dot on the lens
mount with the matching dot on the camera mount
(Fig. 31).
2. Grasp the lens firmly around the lens barrel and
turn it clockwise until it clicks into place.
To remove the lens from the camera
1. Grasp the lens firmly around the lens barrel in
one hand.
2. With the other hand. hold the camera body and
press Lens Release Lever (17) and turn the lens
counterclockwise until it stops (Fig. 32). The lens
now can be removed.
You can also change lenses easily without looking even in the dark by means of Lens Locator Node (18). Line
up Lens Locator Node (18) with Lens Release Lever (17) and turn the lens clockwise for mounting the lens. For
removing the lens. press Lens Release Lever (17) and turn the lens counterclockwise until Lens Locator Node
(18) and Lens Release Lever (17) line up.
Tips for Better Results
* Whenever a lens is mounted on the camera. make sure that the lens is perfectly mounted.
* Do not touch any of the internal parts or permit dust or dirt to enter the camera body when removing or
attaching lenses.View original page 21Page 22 · Read text
* Protect the inside of the camera by putting on the body cap whenever the camera is carried or kept with the
lens removed.
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/16 to f/2.8), 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 deeper. The depth of field can be pre-
determined in the following ways:
A. Depth of Field Preview Button
Pressing Depth of Field Preview Button (16) (Fig.
33) will set the lens at the corresponding opening
you previously set on F-Stop Ring (22). This will
enables you to preview the area of acceptable
sharpness in the picture you take. The viewfinder
will become dark corresponding to the f-stop you
previously set on F-Stop Ring (22). Depth of Field
Preview Button (16) will automatically return to its
original position when you release it and the
viewfinder will become as 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 (21).
Locate on Depth of Field Scale (21 ) the two numbers
corresponding to the f-stop you have set on F-Stop Ring
(22). The distance between these two F stops on Distance
Scale (20) will be an area of acceptable sharpness in your
picture. For example. if your lens is focused at 3 meters
(10 h.) and you shoot at 8 (f/8), the area of acceptable
sharpness will be from 2.2m (7.3 I.) to 5m (16.5 I.), by
reading Distance Scale (20) opposite the both sides of the
"8" numbers on Depth of Field Scale (21) (Fig. 34).View original page 22Page 23 · Read text
www.butkus.us
Tips for Better Results
* Do not depress the Shutter Release Button (9) when depressing Depth of Field Preview Button (16).
INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHY
For infrared photography using infrared films. a correction of Distance Scale (20) 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 (20).
2. Turn Focusing Ring (19) until this camera-to-
subject distance setting is opposite the infrared index
line. For example. if Distance Scale (20) reads 5m
(16.5 ft.) after focusing. merely shift the ''5" (16)
scale to the "a" (red) position (Fig. 35).
Tips for Better Results
* Infrared radiation varies with the degree of infrared light rays in the atmosphere.
* For exposure. follow the instruction sheets which are packed with the film.
