Mamiya 645 AF

This new autofocus camera from Mamiya utilizes a through-the-lens phase difference detection autofocus system. An automatic infrared sub-beam enables the user to focus easily even on subjects of low contrast or low illumination. Single AF (focus priority) or Continuous AF (release priority) can be selected with the AF mode dial. Both 120 and 220 roll films, Polaroid, and a number of digital backs can be used. The Mamiya 645 AF has centerweighted, spot, and Auto A-S (Variable ratio) metering modes. Autobracketing allows three exposures in 1/3, 2/3, or 1 stop increments. Exposure compensation can be set +/-3 in 1/3 stop increments. Other features include depth-of-field preview, built-in diopter, AE lock, multiple exposures, data imprinting of shutter speeds, f-stops, exposure compensations, metering modes, plus year/month/ day/time. Shutter speeds range from 4-1/4000 sec plus bulb and time exposure. Flash sync. speed is 1/125 sec. ISO range is 25-6400. Film advance is automatic with single or continuous exposures. The LCD display shows shutter speeds, f-stop, self timer, multiple exposure, exposure modes, and data imprinting. Viewfinder information shows focus display, shutter speed, f-stop, metering modes, exposure compensation and battery ready. Mamiya offers seven autofocus lenses plus all 22 manual focus lenses can be used.
Equipped with a metal focal plane shutter of max 1/4000 sec., the Mamiya 645 AF is perfect for all kinds of photographic uses, from portraiture with wide-angle lenses to high speed shooting to capture fast action with telephoto lenses. Combine the electronically controlled shutter speeds with 1/2 stop adjustment with autofocus and capturing decisive moments with precision is even easier than ever possible in medium format.
Dial-type exposure mode settings enables the user to confirm the active mode at a glance. Shutter speed and aperture values can be set in ½ steps using the two electronic dials. In AE mode, the shutter speeds and aperture values are controlled automatically in 1/8 stop increments.
