Mamiya 645 Super: Quick Guide

A quick overview on the Mamiya 645 Super. I want to share what I learned getting this camera up and running from the moment i got it. There are a lot of things a new owner needs to understand about this camera to get it to work properly. When i got mine, i thought it was broken! so i did research and research before crying for help. And i managed to find my way and got the camera working properly! It was not broken after all!

So this video is primarily for someone who is interested in getting a 645 Super. And specially for those who have them already and got lost a bit on making it work :)

I you clean the contacts, why do you touch them with fingers?

Sorry but red dot shutter speed positions with lock button is not for leaf shutter lenses !

round red dot is A modus without AE lock (automatic aperture priority) and square red dot is A modus with AE lock by pressing half way the shutter.

When operating a leaf shutter lens you simply choose a manual focal shutter speed longer than 1/30s and the leaf shutter will expose within this focal shutter slot with it's own leaf shutter time setting.

Wow thanks for the guide! Been thinking of buying this model and I cant seem to find any in depth guide like yours on youtube. Glad I stumbled upon it! Just curious, where did you get yours from - in Manila or online? Also trying to see where I can get one here :)

Great info. I have my eye out for one on ebay. I believe Av stands for Aperture Priority not Average.
