PACEMAKER GRAPHIC CAMERAS / 3 Sizes + 2 Models
The instructions in this manual are applicable to all Pacemaker Graphic Cameras.
Speed Graphic Model FP Cameras have a focal plane shutter while Crowe and
Speed Graphie Model 1000 Cameras do not. Although most illustrations are of the
largér 45 size, the instructions are equally applicable to the smaller = and 34
Cameras. All directions, loft and right, are from the operator's position behind
camera. :
E. instructions apply to the Graflok Back and the Graphic accessoriés ac-
cepted by them. For information concerning the use of the Graflex Back and the
Graflex film accessories accepted by them see Page 50.
Every effort has been made to make your camera dependable, convenient and
easy to use. The following pages will review basic operation and will explain the
purpose and use of the many features built into the camera.
For those who wish more detailed information on lighting, exposure and other
areas of photography, a bibliography has been provided on Fage 43.

INFINITY STOPS
A set of infinity stops must be correctly
positioned for each lens used on the
CATR,
If infinity stops have not been factory
installed, they must be very carefully
located square with the film plane and
locked firmly in place.
LENS FITTING
Lens and shutter combinations may be
mounted on lensboards by your local
Service Dealer or Graflex Service Cen-
tor. Focusing scales should be provided
and properly located Гог each lens. For
cameras equipped with a Graphic
Rangefinder each lens must be measured
optically for exact focal length so that a
matching rangefinder cam can be sup-
plied with the lens, Be sure to identily
and record each lens, matching cam and
set of infinity stopa for future reference.
Lenshoards with 8 raised besses will fit
Super Graphic Cameras but must be
tripped externally.
Lenses mounted on Pacemaker 45
Lensboards may be used on the Graphic
View through the use of the special
Graphic View lensboard adapter.

FOCAL
PLANE
SHUTTER
Pacemaker Speed Graphic Cameras are equipped with
à focal plant shutter at the back of the camera. This
shutter has a wide selection of accurate speeds in a
erally higher range than between the lens shutters,
Te provides for the use of telephoto or other lenses
which may not be mounted in shutters. Generally
speaking, the foeal plane shutter has more motion
stopping ability than between the lens shutters. Whore
there js duplieation of shulter speeds, either focal
plano or front shatter may be used nt preference of the
user, If shutter speeds slower than 1/30 of a second are
required, use the (rent shutter,
To use the local plane shutter:

CAMERAS
Use only the No. 31 and No, 24 flash lamps at shutter
speeds of 1/1000 and 1/250 of a second. Synchronization
can not be obtained at other instantaneous speeds. Speeds
marked in red serve as a reminder that they are not to
be used for flash synchronization.
All types of flash lampa as well as high apeed electronie
flash units may be used with the Time exposure setting
by means of the built-in contacts. The curtain ahould bo
set Tor the making of a Tine exposure, previously out-
lined. (Seo Page 20.) The lamp will be fired as the curtain
reaches tho full open position,
The Graflex focal plano shutter will not fire a flash lamp
when the shutter curtain is wound or when the shutter is
rebased with the shutter selector slide since à secondary
switch connected to the body release makes it necessary
to release the focal plane shutter by the body relenss in
order to fire the Mash lamp,
MOTE: If the focal plane shutter has not been used ro-
cantly, the contacts may havo become exidired, To Insure
good contact wind and release the curtain occasionally,
or at least a few times before using for fash.

THE OPTICAL
VIEWFINDER
This iz built into the Graphic Rangefinder and has
automatic parallax compensation. The optical
finder is a separate item on other Graphics, all sizes.
The optical viewfinder is often preferred to the
open frame finder in order to more clearly define the
limits of the field since it may be fitted with masks
of different sizes to correspond with the field cover-
age of various focal length lenses and different film
sizes used with the camera. Both finders are used
to best advantage when the eye is held as closely
as possible to the rear element.
Fer parallar adjustment, set the eyepiece dial by
placing the number which most closely corresponds
to the distance from the subject opposite the line
along the top center of the finder.

FRONT
STANDARD
ADJUSTMENT
The Pacemaker Graphic has three im-
portant adjustments to shift, rise and
tilt the lens and shutter. Each move-
ment may be used independently, or
with the others, Watch the ground glass
image for the improvement oF correction
that each movement contributes to the
appearance of the image. All focusing
and composing must be done on the
ground glass. Remember that some
lenses, notably short focal length lonses,
may not adequately cover the entire
negative with a elenr, sharp image when
moved or tilted from thé normal position.
It is generally desirable to kcop the
back of the camera parallel to the sub-
ject, unless special effects are desired.
The area which will be included in sharp
focus (depth of field) will be generally
parallel to the lensboard. Turning à lens
toward a plane at an angle to the camera
will bring more of that subject into
sharp focus on the film. Note the subject
malter not included on this plane or
area may not come inte sharp focus,
even though dosing the diaphragm will
help somewhat.

Sheet film, which is available in the greatest variety
of emulsions, comes packed in a box with cach piece of
film interleaved with à sheet of black paper. It must be
loaded and unloaded in total darkness, but has the ad-
vantage ol allowing the processing of one or more €

ACCESSORY LENSES
Basically, there are 3 groupe of lenses: Normal, Wide Angle and Telephoto.
All lenses, regardbess of the focal le or design, have standard diaphragm openings
and require ne change in exposure ealeulations.
The angular edd of view and the sine of the image are important essentials in selecting
a lens, although maximum aperture or speed is à consideration.
A normal lens usually bas a focal length equal to either the long side or diagonal of the
files area. Ha maximum apertoré or speed may vary greatly, bot 174.5 is usual, ipa
have a medium angular field for general purposs a
A wide ange cs ix expecially designed to includo a greator angular fed of view and has
a short [eal length. It has great depth of field, but oven so is generally weed at the smaller
diaphragm openings, These lenses permit only fimbted use of the front standard movements.
Thea lenses will usually como to focus with the front standard on the rear siding track.

CARE OF YOUR CAMERA
You have purchased a fine camera, carefully designed, produced and tested. It
should give you long and moat satisfactory service, Protect it from dust and dirt
and avald rough handling; and if possible, keep the camera closed and in the
carrying cise when it is not in use,
Do not attempt to make any repairs to the shutter and never oil a camera
shatter. If it needs attention, turn it over to a competent camera mechanic. Re
member that, on general principles, it is a good idea to have the complete camera
checked over every few years to keep it in tip top shape.
The surface of the lons has received a special hard coating, which will reduce
internal reflections and help you make better negatives. Clean the lens carefully,
with smooth, easy motions using a camel's hair brush or lens tissue. Moisten the
tissue with a drop or two of lens cleaner, but do not apply the cleaner to the
surface of the lens.
Your Graflex Dealer is ready to be of service in discussing your camera and its
use, and over-the-counter dizcussions of your pictures will be very helpful to you.
The Graflex Consumer Correspondence Department is also at your service to
assist vou in getting the most out of your Graphic Camera. Do not hesitate to
write about any photographic problems which you may have. Should such ques-
Lions relates to the making of pictures, be sure to send in your negatives and such
exposure data as you may have available.
