HONEYWELL PENTAX SP 1000
This is the Pentax SP 1000 — proudly taking its
place in the world famous Pentax family, whose
name has become synonymous with design
innovations and precision craftmanship in
35mm single-lens-reflex cameras.
When the Pentax Spotmatic was first introduced
at the 1960 Photokina, the world’s largest
photographic fair, in Cologne, Germany, it
attracted the instant attention of photographers
and photographic engineers alike. Though not
available for purchase at the time, the Spotmatic
immediately became the model with the ad-
vanced designs and innovative features that were
later incorporated into many fine cameras —
both Pentax and other makes. |
Prior to the Spotmatic's appearance at the
Photokina, the perfectionist engineers and tech-
nicians at Pentax had spent literally years
developing it. And even after it had been
introduced, four more years of painstaking
research and experimentation were needed be-
fore the camera was completely ready. Finally,
in late 1964, the Pentax Spotmatic reached the
eager hands of professional and serious amateur
photographers around the world.
Like that early Spotmatic, your Pentax SP 1000
Is a computer camera. lts unique exposure meter
— built into the camera — utilizes two highly
sensitive Cadmium Sulphide sensors to accurate-
ly measure the light intensity as seen through
the camera lens. By measuring the light coming
through the lens (off the subject) and matching
the meter needle as seen through the viewfinder,
you are assured of properly exposed pictures
even under the most impossible lighting condi-
tions. Your Pentax SP 1000 will give correctly
exposed pictures with both special lenses and
filters affixed to normal lenses. In addition, the
SP 1000 gives you the super-fast shutter speed
of a thousandth of a second, Plus complete
compatibility with the entire line of SMC
Takumar lenses for the clearest, sharpest pic-
tures possible.
Your SP 1000 may also be set manualiy, the
same as any other high-quality 35mm camera, if
special lighting or selective focus effects are
desired. Just leave the exposure meter switch in
the “OFF” position and select the correct f/stop
and speed settings for the desired effect,
Despite the incorporation of many highly ad-
vanced features and the many internal improve-
ments that have been developed over the years,
the SP 1000 retains the traditional design and
simple elegance associated with earlier Pentax
models. Like every member of the Pentax
family, the SP 1000 has a 42mm threaded lens
mount that accepts any of the fine Takumar
lenses — from the fish-eye 17mm to the super-
telephoto 1000mm — giving a complete line of
optics that will satisfy the demands of even the
most critical professional. Moreover, the list of
fine accessories is always growing — to meet
your future photographic needs.

BASIC OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
A mercury battery for the light meter is packed separately. Be sure to insert it into the
battery chamber before operating the camera. For insertion instructions, refer to page 10.
1. SET FILM SPEED
Lift the outer ring of the shutter speed dial, turn it
around and set the same number as the ASA number
of the loaded film to the small red index which
appears alongside the figure 1. Then cock the rapid
wind lever,
2. SET SHUTTER SPEED
Turn the shutter speed dial and set the speed you
wish to use to the index. When outdoors, set the
speed at 1/125 sec. or faster, depending upon the
lighting. When indoors, set it at 1/30, or in its
neighborhood. Change the shutter speed later, when
necessary. (Refer to the instruction 5, page 8.)
3. COMPOSE AND FOCUS
While viewing through the viewfinder, turn the
focusing ring with your thumb and index finger
until you get the sharpest image of your subject
at the microprism center of the finder.
4. TURN ON LIGHT METER SWITCH
Push up the meter switch with your thumb.
Through the viewfinder, you will observe the
movement of the meter’'s needle on the right side
of the ground glass. Be sure to turn off the meter
switch when not actually taking readings.
5. ROTATE DIAPHRAGM RING
The needle moves up and down with the turn of the
diaphragm ring. When the needle rests at the center,
you will get correct exposure. If the needle does not
come to the center no matter how far you turn the
diaphragm ring, change the shutter speed. When the
needle is off center and close to the (+) mark, you
will get over-exposure: change the shutter speed to a
faster setting. If the needle is closer to the (—) mark,
you will get under-exposure: change the shutter
speed to a slower setting.
6. RELEASE SHUTTER
Hold your camera firmly and trip the shutter.
When the shutter is released, the meter switch
will automatically turn off, and the needle will
remain fixed off and underneath the center. Cock
the rapid wind lever for the next picture. (When
taking a series of pictures under the same light-
ing conditions, it is not necessary to repeat in-
structions 4 and 5.)
MERCURY BATTERY
How to insert it
Open the battery housing cover on the bottom cover
plate with a coin. Insert the battery with (+) side
toward the top of the camera. For replacement, use
Mallory PX-400 or RM-400-R or equivalent.
10
11
How to check it
1. Set the shutter speed dial to B (bulb) position.
2. Turn the ASA dial to ASA 100.
3. Push the meter switch to “on” position.
Look at the meter's needle through the viewfinder. |f
the needle rapidly drops, the meter battery has
sufficient capacity; if it does not, replace the
mercury battery.
CAUTION:
The mercury battery is like a phonograph record. It
can be damaged by skin acids. Handle by the edges
with a dry cloth only. Be sure the battery is cleaned
with the cloth before insertion into the camera. The
battery is not rechargeable. Do not throw a dead
battery into fire, as it may explode, Also, keep it
beyond the reach of small children.
FILM LOADING AND WINDING
Avoid direct light when loading your film.

Insert the film leader
into the slot of the take-
up spool.
alternately turning the
rapid wind lever and de-
pressing the shutter but-
ton until both sprockets
engage the film perfora-
tions properly. Close
the back by pressing it
firmly.
4.
13
Cock the rapid wind
fever, and confirm that
the film rewind knob
automatically turns
counter-clockwise, in-
dicating that the film is
properly loaded and is
moving from cassette to
take-up spool. Trip the
shutter.
5. The first portions of the film cannot be used for picture
taking as they have already been exposed to light.
Generally, two or three blank exposures should be made
before taking your first picture. Therefore, advance the
film until the exposure counter turns to “1”, indicating
that the first picture is ready to be taken.
FILM TYPE REMINDER DIAL
Use the film type reminder dial to show
what type of film is in your camera.
Simply turn the dial so that the type of
film in the camera is opposite the À mark.
To check whether the camera is loaded,
turn the film rewind knob clockwise. If
it turns freely, the camera is not loaded.
14
SETTING ASA FILM SPEED
The ASA film speed rating of all 35mm
films is given in the data sheet packed
with each roll of film. The higher the ASA
number, the more sensitive the film. Lift
the outer ring of the shutter speed dial
and rotate it until the ASA number of
your film is opposite the orange dot
alongside the figure 1.
Be sure to set your film speed on the
shutter speed dial because the dial is
connected to the exposure meter system.
COMPOSE AND FOCUS
While viewing through the viewfinder, turn
the focusing ring until your subject comes
into sharp focus.
Pentax viewfinder has a Fresnel lens with
a microprism center underneath the ground
glass. As you look through the finder, you
will see that the Fresnel lens consists of
many concentric rings which provide the
brightest possible image on the ground
glass.
The microprism is the center portion of
this diagram. When your subject is in focus,
the image in the microprism will be sharp
and perfectly clear. If your subject is not in
focus, the microprism will break the image
into many small dots, much like an engrav-
er's screen. You can focus your subject on
any portion of the ground glass.
16
AUTOMATIC DIAPHRAGM
When the depth-of-field preview lever is in
“AUTO” (automatic) position, and the
exposure meter is turned to “OFF”, the
diaphragm is at its largest aperture at all
times, except for the instant of exposure,
no matter what aperture is set on the
diaphragm ring. When you release the
shutter, the diaphragm automatically
stops down to the predetermind aperture
and the shutter curtains start traveling
instantly, When the exposure is complet-
ed, the diaphragm reopens to maximum
aperture automatically and you are ready
to compose, focus and shoot your next
pictures. If you wish to visually check
exact depth of field before making the
exposure, move the preview lever to
“MAN” (manual) position. This stops the
diaphragm to the aperture selected and
shows you exactly how much depth of
field will appear in your picture. The
preview lever may be moved back to
“AUTO” position before or after making
your exposure, or, if you are making
pictures in bright sunlight, it may be left
in manufal position, which permits a
constant check of depth of field,
17
When the meter switch is turned to the
“ON” position, the lens diaphragm
changes from the automatic to manual
position even though the preview lever is
in the “AUTO” position. When the shut-
ter is released, the lens diaphragm will
automatically return to its automatic posi-
tion if the lever is set on “AUTO”.
SHUTTER
Turn the shutter speed dial to the shutter
speed desired. The shutter speed may
be set either before or after cocking the
rapid wind lever. As you cock the shut-
ter by turning the rapid wind lever, the
“cocked” indicator turns to red showing
that the shutter is cocked.
The indicator window blacks out as
you trip the shutter button. For use of
the X setting on the shutter speed dial,
refer to page 21.
With the shutter speed dial set on B
(bulb), the shutter will stay open as long
as you depress the shutter button. As you
release your finger from the shutter but-
ton, the shutter closes. When a long
exposure is desired while using the B
setting, attach a shutter release cable with
a locking device to the shutter button.
This will permit a “Time” exposure.
CAUTIONS:
At slow speeds — slower than 1/30 —
support your camera rigidly or use a
tripod to prevent movement of your
camera.
To protect the shutter mechanism, trip
the shutter release before putting the
camera out of use for any extended
period.
18
CAMERA HOLDING
As a general rule, your camera should be held more firmly by the left hand which does not
release the shutter. If you hold your camera with the right hand — the hand which releases
the shutter — it may cause camera movement. Very often, blurred pictures are due to
movement of the camera.
When you focus with the camera held horizontally (Position A), hold the lens barrel as
illustrated. Cradle the camera with your left hand thumb and little finger. Turn the
focusing ring with your thumb and index finger. When holding the camera vertically, some
people release the shutter with the thumb (Position B), while others release it with the
index finder (Position C). Position C is more desirable for fast focusing and shooting. With
the Pentax, whether held vertically or horizontally, you see your subject through the lens,
enabling you to compose, focus and shoot with a minimum of time and effort,

FILM UNLOADING
After the final picture on
the roll has been taken,
the rapid wind lever will
not turn, indicating that
the film must be rewound.
Lift the rewind crank up.
Depress the film rewind
release button and turn
the rewind crank as in-
dicated to rewind the film
into its cassette. Rewind
until the tension on the
crank lessens, indicating
that the leader end of the
film has been released
from the take-up spool.

FLASH SYNCHRONIZATION
The Pentax SP 1000 has two terminals —
FP and X. The table below shows which
flash contact, which shutter speed and
which flash bulb may be combined for
maximum lamp efficiency. Unless these
combinations are rigidly followed, there
will be a failure in flash-synchronization.
Note the ““X’’ setting is exactly at the 60
marked on the speed dial. This indicates
the highest shutter speed at which elec-
tronic flash units may be used.

DEPTH-OF-FIELD GUIDE
Depth of field is the range between the
nearest and farthest distances which are in
focus at a given lens aperture.
If you want to know how great the depth
of field is at a certain aperture, look at the
depth-of-field guide. In the photograph
below, the distance scale is set at 5 meters
. the lens is focused on a subject 5
meters away. The calibrations on each side
of the distance index correspond to the
diaphragm setting and indicate the range of
in-focus distance for different lens ape-
tures. For example, if the lens opening of
1/4 is to be used, the range on the distance
scale ring covered within the figure 4 on
the depth-of-field guide indicates the area
in focus at that lens opening. You will note
from the depth-of-field guide in the photo-
graph that the range from approximately
45 to 6.5 m is in focus. Note that as the
lens apertures change, the effective depth
of field also changes. For the depth of
fields at different apertures and distances,
refer to the next page.

RANGE OF LIGHT MEASUREMENT
The exposure meter of the SP 1000
measures the brightness of the ground
glass. Therefore, the meter should be
turned on after you have focused your
subject on the ground glass. The table on
the next page shows the range of the
meter's light measurement, and should
not be interpreted as the camera’s total
range of f/stop-shutter speed combina-
tions. As you will note from the table
below, with an ASA100 film, you may
use any shutter speed from 1 sec. to
1/1000 sec. in combination with any aper-
ture that will bring the meter needle to
the midpoint in the viewfinder. The total
range of the aperture settings is, of course,
determined by the minimum and maxi-
mum apertures of the lens being used. For
example, with the 55mm f/2 lens and
ASA100 film, an aperture from f/2 (the
maximum aperture of this lens) to f/16
(the minimum aperture) may be used with
any shutter speed from 1sec. to
1/1000 sec. that will bring the meter
needle to midpoint,

The area A indicates the reading range of the meter, The area B indicates that although the shutter
speed index is black and the meter needle moves, the meter is NOT operating properly,
When the meter needle is centered with the shutter speed dial set at B using ASA 20 ~ 50 films, this
indicates that the exact shutter speed required is 2 seconds. Please expose your picture for 2 seconds.

INFRA-RED PHOTOGRAPHY
If you intend to take infra-red photo-
graphs, remember to use the infra-red
index marked with an orange line or a
small ‘`В’ on the depth-of-field guide.
First, focus your lens on your subject.
Determine the lens-to-subject distance
tl 8 56 4 28 2
AUTC
from the distance scale. Then match
your lens-to-subject distance to the in-
frared index by turning the distance
scale accordingly. For instance, if your
subject is in focus at infinity, turn the
distance ring and move the infinity (00)
mark to the index.
26
MULTIPLE EXPOSURE
For deliberate multiple exposure, make
the first exposure in the normal way.
Then tighten the film by turning the
rewind knob M, and keep hold of the
rewind knob (). Depress the film rewind
button @ and cock the rapid wind lever.
This cocks the shutter without advancing

the film. Finally, release the shutter
to make the second exposure. Then
make one blank exposure, before taking
the next picture, to avoid overlapping.
Naturally the indication of the exposure
counter is not exact in this case.
SPECIAL CAUTIONS
Takumar lenses and
Pentax accesories are engi-
neered and meticulously

Always keep the meter
switched off when not ac-
tually taking readings.
Leaving the meter switch-
ed on will rapidly exhaust
the battery. It is also nec-
essary to keep the meter
switched off when inter-
changing lenses. If it is
switched on, the tip of the
automatic diaphragm re-
lease pin of the lens will
hit the pin release plate
inside the camera body
and it may get damaged.
When the index of the
shutter speeds turns to
red, it indicates that the
shutter and film speed
settings are off the meter's
measurability range.
Change the shutter speed
setting to a faster or
slower setting. Refer to
page 25.
When the meter is switch-
ed on, the lens (any SMC
Takumar lens with fully
automatic diaphragm) is in
its manual position even
when the depth-of-field
preview lever is in
“AUTO” position. When
the meter is switched off
manually, or automaticaily
after shutter release, the
lens returns to its
automatic position when
the preview lever is set in
“AUTO” position.

The integra! meter of your
SP 1000 correctly reads
your exposures through
the taking lens and
through whatever accesso-
ries you use on the lens or
between the lens and the
camera. Thus, the expo-
sure increase factors which
apply when taking pictures

extend it longer than this
length when mounting
your camera on a tripod.
Forcing longer screws into
the tripod receptacle will
damage the mechanism.
GUIDE BOOK FOR HONEYWELL PENTAX
SYSTEM OF PHOTOGRAPHY
The operating manual for the Honeywell Pentax cameras is merely
an instruction book for the proper care and operation of the
Honeywell Pentax cameras. It does not, and can not, deal fully
with every possible application of the Honeywell Pentax System
of Photography because those applications are almost limitless.
The following book is therefore recommended to those amateurs
who are eager to learn more about the Honeywell Pentax System
of Photography and photographic technique in general. It is
available in English, German, Italian and Spanish languages, and
each can be obtained from your photo dealers or directly from the
publishers listed on the next page.
“THE HONEYWELL PENTAX WAY"

Herbert Keppler has been associated with the U.S. photographic
magazine Modern Photography for over 15 years as its editor and
publisher. His column devoted exclusively to single-lens reflex
cameras and photography is very famous throughout the world.
He is well known for his objective outlook on all things
photographic and for his healthy mistrust of any theory that he
has not tried out in practice. He has no interest in pushing the
products of any particular manufacturer and brings to the
Honeywell Pentax Way a knowledgeable, independent and un-
prejudiced outlook,
