Pentax 67II no manual

[philipp]

Hi!

 

I sent my own 6x7 to repair and they lend me a 6x7II.

 

I haven4t got a manual, so I want to knwo what the buttons "PS-Time"

and "ML" are for, and how they are used. I want to take some time

exposures this night so it would be great if I could use the battery-

saving time exposure mode, which I think is operated by at least one

of these buttons.

 

Help! Thanks in advance

ML stands for memory lock

As soon as the ML button is depressed the camera stores the measured exposure level for 20 seconds, the ML button can be released

If the shutter release button is depressed halfway down while the memory lock timer is operating, the memorized meter reading will remain even if the memory lock button is released

The memory lock function cannot be used when the camera is in manual metering mode

 

PS time is for long exposures

This mode is useful fr the long exposures required for shooting night scenes and astronmical photography

1. Set the lens aperature ring

2. Slide the PS.Time set lever out away from the camera body

3. Wind the film

4. Lock up the mirror

5. Depress the shutter button Use a remote release or self timer to reduce shake.

6. Slide the time exposure set lever back to the original position and the time exposure finishes

 

Note that the time exposure can be set at any of the shutter speed positions.
