As a general rule of thumb for optimum sharpness, we recommend using 1/125
sec. as the minimum shutter speed for hand-held shooting. For longer exposures
(1/60 sec.
-
8 sec.), attach the camera to a sturdy tripod.
1. For standard tripods with a 1/4" screw, the camera may be directly attached
to the tripod as it is.
2. To attach to tripods with the larger 3/8” screw, first unscrew the small screw
found in the base of the camera’s tripod socket by turning it counterclockwise.
Next, remove the 1/4" adapter (A) by inserting a coin in the slot and turning the
adapter in a counterclockwise direction. Finally, attach the camera to the 3/8”
tripod.
*
If it is necessary to completely eliminate all camera movement, attach cam-
era to a tripod, lock the mirror up, and release the shutter with a cable release.
*When attached to the accessory Revolving Tripod Adapter, the Mamiya M645
can be instantly rotated to change from vertical to horizontal format, or vice
versa.
