SPECIAL FEATURES
1. Improved Through-The-Lens Exposure Meter
The exposure meter of the FUJICA ST605N consists of 2 Silicon photocell light receptors located on either
side of the viewfinder eyepiece, which are connected to an FET (Field Effect Transistor) circuit and are
coupled with the shutter and diaphragm It measures the average light intensity which falls on the entire
surface of the focusing glass In other words. it measures the light that has passed through the lens and will
actually reach the film4.butkus.org
Its special features are: high sensitivity, complete accuracy, instantaneous response, and a spectral
sensitivity close to that of color film. Other merits are its compatibility with any lens that can be mounted on
the camera, and elimination of the necessity of making exposure corrections in taking close-ups and in
shooting with a filter on the lens because the light that has passed through the selected aperture is the light
that is measured
2. World Renowned FUJINON Lens
The interchangeable lenses of the FUJICA ST605N are widely known for their superb color definition and
perfect corner-to-corner picture sharpness and clarity.
3. A Complete Camera System in Itself
A wide range of interchangeable lenses, accessories, and its improved through-the-lens exposure meter
make the FUJICA ST605N a complete camera system in itself capable of handling any picture-taking
situation and subject

BATTERY INSERTION
1. Open the Cover
Insert a coin into the slot of the Battery Chamber Cover ~ located on the upper back side of the body and
turn it counter-clockwise.
2. Load the Batteries
Insert two nickel-zinc batteries, one on top of the other, into the battery
chamber with the plus sides (+) facing outward and close the cover.
· If you are buying new batteries, be sure to specify 1.5V silver oxide batteries
(Eveready S-76E, Mallory MS-76H or UCAR S-76E)
3. Check the batteries
(1 ) Set the ASA Speed Selector (a) to 100 the Aperture Selector (2) to F2.2
and the Shutter Speed Selector (2) to 60.
(2) While pressing down the Exposure Meter Switch (10) look through the
viewfinder and point the camera toward bright light (fluorescent light etc.).
(3) If the meter needle in the viewfinder moves from the plus side down to
the minus side when the camera is faced toward dim light (you can block out
the light with your hand). the batteries are loaded correctly.
(4) If the needle remains stationary on the plus side or minus side when the
camera is faced from bright to dim light the batteries are either exhausted or
improperly loaded and have to be changed or reloaded properly.4.butkus.org
· The nickel-zinc batteries and silver oxide batteries will normally last for 1
year
· If you are not using the camera for a long while remove the batteries and
keep them where it is dry
· Be sure to wipe both ends of the batteries clean with a piece of cloth before
loading. Poor contact may result if
the ends are unclean.
