Congratulations on your purchase of the Mamiya 645 AF Camera.
Mamiya pioneered the 645 SLR system camera three decades ago and the Mamiya 645 AF, with its TTL auto-focus, auto-exposure, auto-flash and autofilm winding features, is the latest Mamiya master piece and reflects its long tradition of medium format camera expertise.

Special Advice To Professional Photographers
Your Mamiya 645 AF is designed for heavy professional use and will give you a long service life if properly maintained. Your camera and lenses have many moving parts which require periodic lubrication. Its electronic components, too, are subject to wear and tear and are affected by ambient conditions like dust, sand, sea air, heat and moisture. If cameras had odometers like automobiles, it would be easier to specify servicing schedules. May we suggest that if you shoot thousands of film rolls per year, you send your equipment annually for servicing by the Mamiya distributor in your country.

Combining 35mm handling ease and speed with the advantages of an almost 3x larger image size, it is a full-featured camera, utilizing many digital controls, LCD displays and is ready for the age of digital photography.

Its high-tech focal plane shutter with speeds to 1/4000 sec. permits sync flash up to 1/125 sec. and has an exclusive "Safety Retraction" feature, which protects it against accidental damage.

The AE Prism Finder with its many features, protected by a sturdy magnesium housing, and also the Power Drive Grip, are now integral components of the diecast aluminum camera body, designed for heavy professional use. All the many features, safety interlocks and other important information are covered in detail in these instructions. It is imperative that you read them thoroughly before you put your camera to work, in order to ensure proper operation and maximum results.

Note:
In order to acquaint yourself with the functions of the camera, you will want to practice without film. Please see
