sattler123 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Here is an online version of the manual - hopefully that'll help. Sorry I don't own a RZ67 and can't help you directly! http://www.butkus.org/chinon/mamiya/mamiya_rz67_pro/mamiya_rz67_pro.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bueh Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Yeah, you can't fire the camera when the film is not correctly advanced (or absent) in normal mode. Only in "M" you can fire it without film and even without a back attached. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cory_zapatka Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I just recieved my Mamiya RZ67 today, and I have a few questions, which I am hoping someone can answer. My Mamiya fires fine in Multiple Exposure mode, so I know there is not a problem with the cocking lever, ect. However, in normal mode, the orange lamp appears when I try to dry-fire. Now, this may seem like a stupid question, but is the sole reason it wont fire due to the fact that there isnt any film? Can the Mamiya only fire in regular mode if film is present? This is my first MF Camera, so I have a lot to learn, but if someone could just lend me a hand with this problem, it would be greatly appreciated. -Cory Zapatka www.coryzapatka.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denys_meunier Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Hi Cory,Bueh is right,no film,no shutter,and try this to, remove your lens,align the shutter lever to the orange dot, arm the shutter and your camera suppose to fire at 1/400.The lever is at your shutter button you have a white dot this one is normal operation,the orange one is the low or dead battery shutter (emergency) and the red one is to lock the button for accident fire.

hugh_sakols Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 You certainly won't be bored! Make sure to shoot some transparencies eg fuji Velvia just to look at them on a slide table. Grab a 50mm lens from an old screw mount 35mm camera to use as a loup and enjoy.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cory_zapatka Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 sweet-- thank you-- I finally got my film, and I answered my own question... it should be interesting to see how my first MF shots come out. Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werner1 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Cory, when you get your proofs back, don't be disappointed. Pick your sharpest shot and blow it up to 11x14. This is where the real magic of 6x7 emerges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
