OPERATING MANUAL
Welcome to the Fantastic World of Pentax
Autofocus Multi-Mode Medium Format
Photography
The Pentax 645=, our latest development in the
area of the medium format SLR, promises a
superior 6 x 4.5cm result with 120, 220, or
70mm film.
Made possible through our vast experience and
technology accumulated over the years, the new
autofocus multi-mode 645n assures pin-sharp
focus accuracy with AF Spot and AF Wide
selection, and the 6-segment multi-pattern
metering allows precise exposure control under
widely varying conditions. Unsurpassed versatil-
ity is assured through the utilizing of a full range
of exposure modes (Programmed AE, Aperture-
Priority AE and Shutter-Priority AE, Metered
Manual and TTL auto flash control), as well as
an exposure compensation control and Auto-
Bracketing Mode.
With a 645 A- or FA lens attached, the 645
imprints relevant information (frame number,
shutter speed, aperture setting, exposure con-
trol and auto-bracketing mode.
The Pentax 645n is a professional camera pos-
sessing a number of highly sophisticated fea-
tures: built-in automated film wind, an external
LCD information panel and clearly visible LCD
information in the viewfinder.
Lenses and accessories produced by other manu-
facturers are not made to our precise specifications
and therefore may cause difficulties with or actual
damage to your Pentax camera. We do not assume
any responsibility or liability for difficulties resulting
from the use of lenses and accessories made by
other manufacturers.

PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR CAMERA
* Do not use the camera where it may come in contact
with rain, water, or any other liquid, because the cam-
era is not weather, water, or liquid resistant. Should
the camera get wet from rain, splashing water, or any
other liquid wipe it off immediately with a dry soft cloth.
* Do not drop the camera or allow it to hit solid objects.
If the camera suffers a shock or impact, take it to a
Pentax service center for inspection.
* Be careful not to subject the camera to strong vibra-
tions, shock or pressure. Use a cushion to protect the
camera when carrying it in a motorcycle, car, boat,
etc.
» Condensation on the interior or exterior of the camera
may be extremely harmful to the camera mechanism
as it may cause rust. Furthermore, if the camera is
taken from warm temperature to a subfreezing one or
vice versa, the formation of icelets may cause dam-
age. In such a case, put the camera into a case or
plastic bag so that any changes in temperature differ-
ence is minimized. Do not remove it from the bag until
temperature has stabilized.
* Regular size color prints may cut off what appears on
the extreme edges of the film frame. Compose your
picture with a margin of safety at the edges.
* Avoid leaving the camera for extended periods in
places where the humidity and temperature are very
high, such as in a car.
* Do not store the camera in a closet with moth balls or
in an area where chemicals are handled. Store it in a
place with good dry air circulation to prevent the
growth of fungus.
* Never touch the shutter curtain or mirror with your fin-
ger or any other object.
* Use a blower and lens brush to remove dust accumu-
lated on the lens or viewfinder.
* Never use solvents such as paint thinner, alcohol or
benzene to clean the camera.
* Electrical problems may often be caused by water, dirt
or dust at points of electrical contact. Also check for
battery leakage, traces of dirt or grease, or corrosion
due to salinity or gas. If you cannot correct the prob-
lems, have your camera inspected at a Pentax service
center. Repairs of this nature are not covered under
the terms of the warranty and charges may be
assessed.

enabling proper exposure value in a wide variety of normal
and adverse lighting conditions.
Set the metering mode switch to [ == ].
* The center-weighted metering mode and spot metering
mode are also available in this camera. See page 50 and
51 for more details.
* When the Adapter 645 for 67 lens or Helicoid Extension

This camera incorporates a high-precision six-segment
TTL metering system. Light values are measured in six
segments within the image field, enabling an optimal
exposure to be made under a variety of lighting conditions.
With conventional averaged metering systems, underex-
posure of the subject results from the brightness of the
background affecting the overall metering. With muilti(6)-
segment metering, the camera records the brightness in
six zones within the image field and uses these measure-
ments to choose an exposure that will not underexposed
the subject. The multi(6)-segment metering system also
calculates exposure values for a scene to automatically
compensate for high-contrast and other difficult lighting
conditions. Even a beginner can achieve excellent results
with ease.

HOLDING THE CAMERA
Camera held horizontally
Hold the camera firmly, with your left hand supporting the
camera and lens as shown in the illustrations. While taking
a picture, hold your breath and gently depress the shutter
release button. (Sudden force on the shutter release but-
ton will cause camera shake, making the picture blurred.)
Camera held vertically
* To reduce camera shake, support your body or the cam-
era on a solid object - a table, tree, or a wall for instance.
* Although there are individual differences among photog-
raphers, in general the shutter speed for a hand held
camera is the inverse of the focal length. For example,
1/75 of second when the focal length is 75mm, and
1/150 of second when it is 150mm. A tripod should be
used for shutter speeds slower than this.
* When using an ultra-telephoto lens, a tripod that is heav-
ier than the total weight of the camera and lens is rec-
ommended to avoid camera shake.
* This camera has provided two tripod sockets for vertical
and horizontal format positions.
» When the tripod is used, use of an optional Cable SW F
or Cable Release is also recommended.

a) Extremely low-contrast subjects such as a white
wall in the autofocus frame [7].
b) Subjects which don't reflect much light in the aut-
ofocus frame [[ 7].
c) Subjects which are moving too fast.

DAYLIGHT- SYNC SHOOTING
=
y Rs NN
UN |
With Daylight-Sync
In daylight conditions, when a portrait picture is
taken with a person's face cast in shadow, dis-
charging the flash will eliminate the shadow.
Daylight-sync photography is obtained in the
same manner as normal flash photography, so
you simply depress the shutter release button.
* If the background is too bright, it may be overex-
posed.
SLOW-SPEED-SYNC SHOOTING
It is possible to balance the exposure of a fore-
ground subject against a dimly-lit background by
using the flash to properly expose the foreground
subject and a slow-shutter-speed to expose the low
light background.
With the Metered Manual Mode set
1. Turn the flash on.
2.Set the camera's exposure mode to the
Metered Manual Mode.
3. Select an appropriate shutter speed (slower
than 1/60 of second) and aperture combina-
tion for a correct exposure.
4. Release the shutter.
With the Shutter-Priority AE Mode set
1.Set the camera's exposure mode to the
Shutter-Priority AE Mode.
2. Set the desired shutter speed.
» |f the aperture in the viewfinder blinks, a correct
exposure will not be obtained for the background.
Adjust the shutter speed until the blinking stops.
3. Turn the flash on.
4. Take the picture.
* |f the power is on before the desired shutter
speed is selected, the proper exposure for the
background will not be obtained. Be sure to select
the shutter speed before the flash is turned on.
In the slow-speed-sync shooting, use of a tripod
is recommended to prevent camera shake.

SHIHLO
All Pentax cameras purchased through authorized
bona fide photographic distribution channels are
guaranteed against defects of material or workman-
ship for a period of twelve months from date of pur-
chase. Service will be rendered, and defective parts
will be replaced without cost to you within that peri-
od, provided the equipment does not show evi-
dence of impact, sand or liquid damage, mishan-
dling, tampering, battery or chemical corrosion,
operation contrary to operating instructions, or
modification by an unauthorized repair shop. The
manufacturer or its authorized representatives shall
not be liable for any repair or alterations except
those made with its written consent and shall not be
liable for damages from delay or loss of use or from
other indirect or consequential damages of any
kind, whether caused by defective material or work-
manship or otherwise; and it is expressly agreed
that the liability of the manufacturer or its represen-
tatives under all guarantees or warranties, whether
expressed or implied, is strictly limited to the
replacement of parts as herein before provided. No
refunds will be made on repairs by non-authorized
Pentax service facilities.
WARRANTY POLICY
Procedure During 12-month Warranty Period.
Any Pentax which proves defective during the 12-
month warranty period should be returned to the
dealer from whom you purchased the equipment or
to the manufacturer. If there is no representatives of
the manufacturer in your country, send the equip-
ment to the manufacturer, with postage prepaid. In
this case, it will take a considerable length of time
before the equipment can be returned to you owing
to the complicated customs procedures required. If
the equipment is covered by warranty, repairs will
be made and parts replaced free of charge, and the
equipment will be returned to you upon completion
of servicing. If the equipment is not covered by war-
ranty, regular charges of the manufacturer or of its
representatives will apply. Shipping charges are to
be borne by the owner. If your Pentax was pur-
chased outside of the country where you wish to
have it serviced during the warranty period, regular
handling and servicing fees may be charged by the
manufacturer's representatives in that country.
Notwithstanding this, your Pentax returned to the
manufacturer will be serviced free of charge
according to this procedure and warranty policy.
In any case, however, shipping charges and cus-
toms clearance fees to be borne by the sender. To
prove the date of your purchase when required,
please keep the receipt or bills covering the pur-
chase of your equipment for at least a year. Before
sending your equipment for servicing, please make
sure that you are sending it to the manufacturer's
authorized representatives or their approved repair
shops, unless you are sending it directly to the man-
ufacturer. Always obtain a quotation for the service
charge, and only after you accept the quoted ser-
vice charge, instruct the service station to proceed
with the servicing.
The local warranty policies available from
Pentax distributors in some countries can
supersede this warranty policy. Therefore, we
recommend that you review the warranty card
supplied with your product at the time of pur-
chase, or contact the PENTAX distributor in
your country for more information and to
receive a copy of the warranty policy.
