Precautions
on Batteries
The
Mamiya ZM has
a built-in
circuit that
automatically
gives
a
warning
when battery
power
is running
low. In
this case, the
LED
corresponding
to the
correct
shutter speed flashes
and
a
warning
buzzer
sounds at the rate
of 2 times
per
second when
the
shutter release
button is lightly
pressed.
The batteries
should
be
replaced
as
quickly
as
possible,
although several
exposures
can still be made.
When the
bat-
teries
go
completely
dead, the LEDs
won'l light
at all.
.
Batteries
should always
be removed
when the
camera is not to
be
used for an
extended time Keep
them in
a cool, dry
place.
Leaving
bat-
teries in
the camera for long
periods
may result in leakage
which
could
damage the internal mechanisms
.
When replacing
batteries,
use 1
5V alkaline-manganese
batteries
LR44
(A-76),
or
silver oxide batte.ies
SRzt4
(G-13).
Although 1
3V mer-
cury batteries
are the
same shape
and size, they will not
operate the
camera normally
.
Be
sure to replace
both two
batteries at the
same time Do not
mrx new
and
old batteries or batteries
of different
types or brands
.
When
loading
batteries into the
battery
cartridge, be
sure
the
plus
and
minus
terminals
are located
properly.
Before loading
the
batteries, oe
sure to wipe
the terminals
of the batteries
and the
cartridge with a
dry
cloth to remove
any
soiling or finger marks,
etc
.
Never
take apart
batteries, short
them, or throw them
into fire.
Handling
Cautions
When
the camera is not in use, the main
switch should be
left
in the
"OFF"
position
lf the
camera's
main
switch
is left
in the
"ON"
position,
the LEDs
will light up whenever the
shutter button
is
depressed, causing
premature
battery exhaustion
The
depth ot the tripod socket is
7/32
in
(5.5mm)
lf a tripod is
used
with a mount
screw
longer
than this, the internal mechanisms
of
the
camera may be damaged Do not
use excessive lorce when mounting
the
camera on a tripod
Avoid
strong vibration and
shock since this
may
cause adverse influence
on the delicately
adjusted
parts
of the camera. Be careful nol to drop the
camera
or allow it to strike against objects.
Do not
keep the
camera
for
extended
periods
where temperature is
above
100'F
(40"C)
or below
5'F
(
15"C),
or where there is excessive
humidity
or salt in the air The
camera
mechanism
or film can also be
damaged if the
camera is left for a long time in a.place where there is
naphthalene
or formalin
gas.
Always
store color film
at the designated
temoerature.
Never
touch the
surface of the miorror or lens with the hands Any
dust
should be blown
off
with
a blower or wiped off by lightly applying a
soft
cloth Be
especially sure to never rub the
surface of the
mirror
Always
clean the camera carefully
after
photographing
at the beach or
other
place
where there is
salt
in
the air. Clean the many
plastic parts
by
gently
wiping with
a soft, dry cloth. Never use
solvents
when
cleaning.
Inspect the
camera
periodically
when it is not
being used.
Be
sure
to in-
spect
moving
parts
before trying to take important
photographs
This in-
cludes the film
advance and shutter
operation, electronic
flash
syn-
chronization,
etc. Test
shots should also be taken if
possible
to discover
any irregularities
that may exist.
(lncidenlal
damage which results in this
camera malfunctioning will not
be compensated
)
Do not
try to repair
or
lubricate
the camera iJ
some
irregularity is
dis-
covered Leave this to
Vour

dealer.
