Special Advice To Professional Photographers
Your Mamiya 645DF
is designed for heavy professional use and will give you a long
service life if properly maintained. Your camera and lenses have many moving parts
which require periodic lubrication. Its electronic components, too, are subject to wear
and tear and are affected by ambient conditions like dust, sand, sea air, heat and
moisture.
If cameras had odometers like automobiles, it would be easier to specify servicing
schedules. May we suggest that if you shoot thousands of images per year, you send
your equipment annually for servicing to the Mamiya distributor in your country.
Mamiya 645DF
corresponds with digital backs compatible with MSCE (Mamiya Serial
Communication of External).
Mamiya pioneered the 645 SLR system camera three decades ago and
the Mamiya 645DF, with its TTL auto-focus, auto-exposure and auto-flash
is the latest Mamiya masterpiece and reflects its long tradition of medium
format camera expertise.
Combining 35mm handling ease and speed but with an image size almost
3 times larger, it is a full-featured camera, utilizing many digital controls and
LCD displays, and featuring 19 custom settings for fully personalized digital
photography.
Its high-tech focal plane shutter with speeds up to 1/4000 sec. permits
flash sync up to 1/125 sec. and has an exclusive “Safety Retraction”
feature, which protects it against accidental damage.
The AE Prism Finder with its many features, protected by a sturdy
magnesium housing, and also the Power Drive Grip, are now integral
components of the die cast aluminum camera body, designed for heavy
professional use.
All the many features, safety interlocks and other important information are
covered in detail in these instructions. It is imperative that you read them
thoroughly before you put your camera to work, in order to ensure proper
operation and maximum results.
Congratulations on your purchase of the Mamiya 645DF Camera.

1. Battery life of the originally supplied batteries is dependant on storage conditions.
2. Blots and fingerprints on terminals may cause loose connection and corrosion.
Wipe the terminals before loading the batteries.
3. It is advised to carry spare batteries in remote or foreign locations.
4. Battery performance decreases in low temperatures. Keep them warm when in cold
climates or locations.
External battery case PE401 is available as an optional accessory.
5. Store the batteries in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight.
6. Remove the batteries from the camera body when they will not be used for a long
time.
7. Replace the batteries with new ones as soon as they are exhausted. Liquid leakage
from the battery may damage the camera.
8. Read the label warnings of the batteries for their handling.

charge display
The camera’s power is turned on when the drive dial is set to “S,” “C” or “M.UP.” In
order to prevent the camera’s battery power from draining, sleep mode is automatically
established if no operations are performed for a specific period of time while the power
is ON (with exposure metering status maintained).
The initial setting for the exposure metering status maintenance period is 15 seconds.
It can be changed at any time to a period within 30 sec., 60 sec. using the custom
settings. (C-03 on page 84)
In sleep mode, operating the shutter button or function setting button restores power
ON status.
In sleep mode, the shutter speed and f-number in the external LCDs go off, and the
icon shown in the figure is displayed. (This mark appears in program AE mode.)
For the purpose of the descriptions and explanations provided in these
instructions, it is assumed that the camera’s power is on.

Replacing the Diopter Correction Lens
If there is dirt or dust on the lens surface, remove it with a blower or sweep it off
gently with a lens brush.
If there are fingerprints or dirt on the lens surface, wipe away with a piece of clean,
soft gauze.
Using solvents could discolor the diopter correction lens frame.
2. Remove the existing diopter by sliding
downwards using the fingernail groove and
detach.
3. Insert a new diopter by aligning it to the base
of the diopter holder and sliding it upwards into
place then reattach the rubber eye piece.
Diopter Adjustment
Look through the viewfinder and make sure that the focus frame (Rectangle with
Circle) is in sharp focus. If it is not, turn the diopter adjustment dial in the “–” direction if
you are nearsighted, in the “+” direction if you are farsighted. If this is not sufficient you
may require an optional diopter correction lens. See below.

There are three exposure metering modes: In
the “A” mode the average brightness in the
entire frame is measured with emphasis on the
center of the frame. The brightness at a
specific spot in the center of the frame is
metered in the “S” mode. The “A-S” mode
automatically switches between these two
modes depending on the contrasts in the
picture. (See page 54.)

Exposure metering mode is automatically set to average/spot
exposure metering before exposure metering is performed.
There are four exposure modes: “P” (program
AE), “Av” (aperture priority AE), “Tv” (shutter
priority AE) and “M” (manual mode). “X” is for
synchro mode, while “CF” is used to for custom
functions.
3. Set the exposure mode selector dial to “P”
(program auto exposure).
Exposure mode Features
The aperture and shutter speed are determined automatically according to
the shooting conditions. This mode is best suited for general photography,
since it allows you to concentrate on the shooting. You can change the
shutter speed and aperture by turning the front and rear dials while the “P
(Program AE) mode is selected. (See page 44 and 45.)

★
When a lens with the focus mode selector is attached and the focus mode selector
lever of the camera body is set at “S” or “C”, you can change focus modes between
automatic and manual with the selector of the lens.
★
To use the auto focus function, both the camera body and the lens have to be set in
the auto focus mode.
★
When either the camera body or the lens is set in the manual focus mode, auto
focus does not function.
★
See the instruction manual for each lens for the way to switch focus modes on the
lens.
Manual focus mode (M)
The auto focus function can be cancelled, and you can focus manually.
1. Switch to “M” (manual focus
mode).
Turn the focus mode selector lever and set it to
“M” (manual focus mode). appears on the
external LCD panel.
2. Manual focus operation for
telephoto and zoom lenses.
All Mamiya 645 AF Telephoto and Zoom lenses
can be switched from Auto Focus to Manual
Focus by sliding the focusing ring on the lens
FORWARD until it clicks. When this is done,
the “Auto Focus” inscription on the lens barrel
is covered and the lens can then be focused
manually. When the FOCUSING RING is set in
