Fujica AX Accessories
Go to Fujica System Accessories
1: This highly sophisticated SLR camera lets you take aperture-preferred
automatic and manual exposure pictures with shutter speeds ranging all the
way from 2 full seconds to 1/1000 second. Its built-in, high precision,
microcomputer-controlled automatic exposure system represents the latest
in LSI technology.
2: Thirteen LED shutter speed indicators and an aperture indicator window
in the viewfinder let you set exposure without taking your eye off your
subject.
3: Soft-touch electromagnetic shutter release; 2 seconds to 1/1000 second
stepless shutter speeds; simple manual exposure setting by watching LED
shutter-speed indicators in the viewfinder; provision for taking
continuous shots at 2 fps with an auto winder X.
4: A wide assortment of "system accessories" (including the exclusive
Fujica Auto Strobe 300X-guide number 30, Fujica Auto Strobe AZ, and the
Fujica Photo Recorder for printing data on the film) expands your picture-
taking scope well beyond present horizons.
5: Fujica X "short turn" 65 degree lens mount permits quick lens changing
and accepts the entire line of the new X-Fujinon interchangeable lenses
from wide-angle to telephoto as well as other lenses to let you take full
advantage of the SLR system.
1. ATTACHING THE STRAP AND PUTTING THE CAMERA IN IT'S CASE
2. MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING THE LENS
Position the red dot on the lens rear opposite the red dot on the Lens
Mount, then push the Lens in and turn it 65ø to the right (clockwise). It
will lock into position with a click.
While pressing in the Lens Lock toward the camera body, turn the Lens to
the left (counter-clockwise) as far as it will go, then pull it out toward
the front.
Using the Rubber Lens Hood
When shooting against the light, fit the accessory Rubber Lens Hood on to
the lens to prevent flare and ghost caused by the light falling directly
on the lens surface.
3. LOADING AND CHECKING THE BATTERY
Choosing the Right Battery
You can Us any one of the following batteries but be sure to use a new
battery.
6-volt silver oxide battery (4SR44).
6-volt alkaline manganese battery (4LR44).
6-volt lithium battery.
* Special precautions for the use of batteries in cold weather
1. Generally, the battery performance will
decrease rapidly at temperatures below 0
Degrees C. If you are shooting in sub-zero
weather, it is always best to use a new
battery. If the temperature is extremely
low, it is advisable to keep a spare
battery on hand and use the camera battery
and this spare battery in turns while
warming them up with your body heat.
2. Silver oxide batteries are
well suited for shooting in
cold weather. They are also
recommended for taking a large
number of pictures.
1. Remove the Battery Compartment Cover by pushing the Cover Lock in
toward the Lens with your fingernail and lifting it up.
Notes: 1. One new silver-oxide battery or lithium battery will normally
last about 8 months, and one new alkaline-manganese battery about 6
months.
2. Before loading, wipe both ends of the battery clean with a dry piece of
cloth.
3. If you are not taking pictures for a long while, remove the battery
before putting the camera away.
2. Insert the battery, plus (+) and minus (-) ends correctly, as shown in
the Battery Compartment.
3. The battery will load easier if you insert the minus (-) end first.
4. To unload, press down and pull out the plus (+) end of the battery with
your fingernail.
5. Replace the Battery Compartment Cover by sliding in the inner edge and
pressing the cover down.
CHECKING THE BATTERY
If the battery is not up to the required strength, you will not get
properly exposed pictures because your Fujica AX-3's shutter is
electronically controlled regardless of the exposure mode employed. Make
it a habit, therefore, to check the battery before you start taking
pictures.
1. Turn on the Main Switch.
2. Look through the Viewfinder and press the Shutter Release halfway
3. If the red LED opposite the letter "B" at the bottom of the shutter
speed scale blinks (about 4 times a second), it's time to change the
battery because it is being worn out.
4. If no LED turns on in the viewfinder, the camera will not operate
because the battery is completely exhausted.
Notes: 1. If you are taking your camera on a trip, be sure to bring a
spare battery along.
2. When shooting in cold weather, check the battery frequently because low
temperatures will reduce battery efficiency.
3. If you are not taking pictures, turn off the main switch to prevent
unnecessary battery drain.
Main Switch
Your Fujica AX-3 has a main switch (ON/OFF/Self timer Lever) on the left
side top of the camera (next to the Film Speed Selector). Before you start
taking pictures and before you check the battery, be sure to switch it ON
by pulling the lever out toward you while watching the Main Switch Window-
4. LOADING THE FILM:
Use cartridge-packed 35mm roll film.
Always load and unload film in subdued light.
1. Open the Camera Back by pulling the Film Rewind Knob all the way out.
(It will not open unless the knob is fully pulled out.)
2. Drop the film cartridge into the Film Chamber with the spool head
(protruding portion of the cartridge) pointing to the camera bottom, then
push the Film Rewind Knob down to its original position.
3. Pull out the film tip and insert it deeply into the slot of the Take-up
Spool, but make sure it doesn't go through the spool hub.
4. Wind the film with a stroke or two of the Film Advance Lever and make
sure the Sprocket Teeth catch the film perforations.
5. Erect the Film Rewind Crank and turn it in the direction of the arrow
to take up any slack in the film, make sure the film is properly
positioned between the guide rails, then close the Camera back.
