FUJICA MOUNT ADAPTER

X-S

The Fujica Mount Adapter X-S is used for mounting

Praktica screw-mount Fujinon lenses on the Fujica
X-series SLR cameras (Fujica AX-5, AX-3, AX-1, and
STX-1). The exposure mode is stopped-down auto­matic exposure with the AX-5, AX-3 and AX-1, and
stopped-down metering with the STX-1, but it is
equipped with an automatic diaphragm to allow you
to focus with a bright, fully open lens.

MOUNTING

Screw the Fujinon lens into the Mount
Adapter X-S. 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
lock into position with a click.

•TAKING PICTURES (I)

With the Fujica AX-5, AX-3 and AX-1

1. Mount the Praktica screw-mount Fujinon lens on the camera by means of the
Mount Adapter X-S.

2. Set the shutter speed selector to "Ac" or "AEL". (Set it to "AE" in the case
of the AX-1.)
Set the aperture ring to the desired value.

3. Wind the film and focus the lens.

4. Press in the camera's preview button to stop down the aperture, then press
the shutter release halfway down to check the exposure setting and trip the
shutter by squeezing the release button gently down.

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 (II)

With the Fujica STX-1

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

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.
