Time Saving Features

• Auto-detect of First Frame of Film

The 645AFD II is the only auto-focus medium format camera to have auto-detect of the first frame; There is no need to line up the START arrows; the Film Magazine automatically seeks the first frame of film; The result is quicker and easier loading of film and less chance of film fog

• Half-and Third-Stop Shutter Speeds

The only medium format camera that has precise selection of shutter speed values to 1/2- or 1/3-stop providing the means to record the proper exposure

• Fully Digital Controls

The vertical-travel metal focal plane shutter provides a maximum shutter speed of 1/4000 second; This permits the photographer to employ techniques, from soft-focus portraits using wide apertures to razor-sharp images of even the fastest-moving subjects; The high-speed shutter also allows flash synchronization at a fast 1/125 sec., which enables effective application of daylight synchronization and other flash techniques

Useful Features

• Electronic Dial Lock

Prevents accidental changes of aperture and shutter speeds set in the X, Manual, Aperture Priority and Shutter Speed Priority exposure modes; Lets you concentrate on the photo session, not the camera

• Auto bracketing for one-touch exposure adjustment

Auto bracketing is effective under complex lighting conditions when determining proper exposure settings is difficult, or for shooting with narrow-latitude slide films; The camera will take two or three pictures: normal + over, normal + under or normal + under + over expore; You may also change the order of bracketing via the Custom Function menu, to under + normal + over, over + normal + under;

• Exposure data imprinting records vital information

Apply the data imprinting to generate a record of exposure data factors outside the image area; DATA mode imprints exposure mode, aperture value, shutter speed, exposure compensation level, metering mode, TTL flash compensation indicator, bracketing position and index (frame) number. DAY mode records year, month, day, and time, along with an index number; The 4-digit index numbers run 0000 to 9999 and each digit can be set individually, allowing for custom indexing; Data is stored in camera memory, and is not cleared when a film magazine is replaced; This allows easier record keeping and management when shooting large numbers of images

• Custom Function settings

There are three Custom Users (A, B & C) and 36 custom settings accessible by selecting CF on the exposure mode dial; For a complete listing of all custom settings, use the "Custom Settings" link at right; Having three separately-adjustable users allows for multiple setups for different people or preferences, making adjustments swift and effortless; Make the 645AFD II yours through finite preference controls

• Digital multiple exposure activation

Press Multi Exposure Mode and set the desired number of exposures in a range of 2 to 6 with the digital control dial; Digital cancellation of film winding assures precise registration of multiple images on a single frame; By pressing the Multiple Exposure button before the exposure set is complete allows for more exposures to be dialed in

• Self-timer

To activate the Self Timer, use the selection ring around the shutter release; You can change the self-timer setting by pressing SET from 2 to 60 seconds; Settings can be made in 1-second steps from 2 to 10 seconds and in 10-second steps for settings longer than 10 seconds; Time-lapse photography is possible by using a locked-down cable release in the "C" (continuous advance) motor drive mode; Intervals are set between 2 and 60 sec. using the self-timer

Provides exposure settings suited to a wide range of subjects and lighting. Spot mode will be automatically selected when the brightness within the measured range is lower than the brightness of the overall picture by about 1.5 EV or greater, and the Average mode is selected when the Spot exposure metering value is the same or brighter than the Average value. When the difference between spot and average is between .75 and 1.5 EV, the appropriate exposure is achieved at an intermediate value; AE LOCK: Yes (AEL button): Released by pressing twice or shutter operation; light metering value differentiation in viewfinder exposure compensation display when AEL button is held down; +/- 6EV (in 1/3 steps)

Power Source

Camera uses 6 "AA" batteries (alkaline-magnesium, lithium or NI-MH); Film magazine power supply is a CR2032 battery.

When the roll film holder is attached to the body, the power is supplied from the camera body; External Battery Case PE401 available. This case provides battery protection when shooting in extreme cold weather. 6 "AA" batteries are inserted in to the case (PE401) which is then kept in your pocket. A cord from the case to the camera provides the power for the camera. Power receptacle is located on the bottom of the camera body.
