FUJICA MOUNT ADAPTER

X-D

The Fujica Mount Adapter X-D is specially designed
for mounting Praktica screw-mount Fujinon lenses on
the Fujica AX-5. With this adapter, you can take
shutter-prefBrred and programmed automatic exposure
pictures using screw-mount Fujinon lenses. It can also
be used on the Fujica AX-3, AX-1, and STX-1.

MOUNTING

First, screw the Praktica screw-mount lens
into the Mount Adapter X-D. Then place the
red dot on the adapter's rear end against
the red dot on the camera's lens mount and
turn the lens 65° to the right. It will locks
into position with a click.

SETTING THE MAXIMUM APERTURE (with the Fujica AX-5)

If you are using this adapter on the Fujica
AX-5, set the maximum aperture of the lens
you are using by aligning the corresponding
f-number on the aperture scale of the Mount
Adapter with the red line on the lens mount.
If you are using a Fujinon 1 : 1.4/50 mm lens,
for example, align "1.4" with the red line.

Note:

The maximum aperture scale has six posi­tions : M, 1.4, 2, 2.8, 4, and 5.6. If the
adapter does not have the corresponding
f-number, set it to the one nearest to that
number.

IUSING THE ADAPTER WITH THE AX-3 AND AX-1

If you are using it with the Fujica AX-3 or
AX-1, the exposure mode is stopped-down
automatic exposure. In this case, align "M"
on the aperture scale with the red line.

• USING THE ADAPTER WITH THE STX-1

If you are using it with the Fujica STX-1, the exposure mode is stopped-down
metering. In this case, align "M" on the aperture scale with the red line.

•TAKING PICTURES ( I)

Automatic exposure on full-aperture metering with the Fujica AX-5

1. Mount the Fujinon lens on the camera by means of the Mount Adapter X-D.

2. Set the maximum aperture of the lens (See the paragraph entitled "Setting the
maximum aperture".}

3. Turn the aperture ring and set it to the minumum aperture of the lens.
Example: If you are using a Fujinon 1 : 1.4/50mm, set it to F16.

4. If you want to take programmed automatic exposure pictures, set the camera's
shutter speed dial to "AE" or "AEL". If you are taking shutter-preferred auto­matic exposure pictures, set it to the shutter speed you want.

5. Wind the film, focus the lens and depress the shutter release. The camera will
automatically give you a correctly exposed picture.

Note : Be sure to set the aperture ring to the minimum aperture, or you will not

get properly exposed pictures.

•TAKING PICTURES (II)

Automatic exposure on stopped-down metering with the Fujica AX-5, AX-3 and
AX-1

1 Mount the Fujinon lens on the camera by means of the Mount Adapter X-D.

2. Set the maximum aperture scale on the Adapter to "M".

3. Turn the aperture ring and set it to the f-number you want. Set the shutter speed
dial to "AE" or "AEL".

4. Wind the film, focus the lens, then press in the preview button to stop down the

aperture, and depress the shutter release.
Notes :
1 When taking automatic exposure pictures on stopped-down metering, use an

eyecup to prevent extraneous light from entering through the viewfinder and

fouling up your exposure setting.

2 If you are shooting with the shutter speed selector set to "AEL" on the AX-5

or AX-3, or if you are using this adapter on the AX-1, be sure to press in the

preview button before you press the shutter release halfway down. Otherwise

your picture will not turn out properly exposed.

3 If you are using the adapter on the AX-5, the LED aperture indicator in the

viewfinder will always turn on in the lowest position regardless of the aperture
which is set. Caution is required, therefore, because it is impossible to check
the aperture while looking through the viewfinder.

•TAKING PICTURES (III)

With the Fujica STX-1

1. Mount the Fujinon lens on the camera by means of the Mount Adapter X-D.

2. While looking through the viewfinder, press in the preview button, hold it there,
and press the shutter release halfway down. The exposure meter needle will
move upward. Then turn the aperture ring so that the meter needle is centered.

3. Focus the lens, compose your picture and squeeze the shutter release gently down.
