SEVEN BASIC STEPSTO PLEASURABLEAEC* SHOOTING
1. Insert the two 1.3 Volt Inercury batteries supplied withyour camera into chamber at bottom of camera to powerthe CdS meter. Turn switch to "on" position (red dot)when shooting pictures.
2. Load camera. Here "Insta$rip" take-up spool makes forsure, fumble-free operation.
3. Set ASA rating of your film in window on the top of theshutter speed dial, by lifting and turning outer ring.
4. Make certain that lens is set at "EE" for effortless, correctshooting, when automatic exposure is desired.
5. Select desired shutter speed. For most outdoor 'shots,
llI25 is recommended.
6. Focus and compose picture in finder. The bright image iseasy to focus, especially in the Micro Diaprism area,where images snap in and out of focus smartly.
7. Shoot the pictures, as long as the needle in the rightmargin of the finder is in a white area.
*AEC describes the optional total Automatic Exposure Control of the KONICAAUTOREFLEX-T which permits (l) Full use of wide open automatic aperturelenses, (2) automatically selects and sets proper aperture at instant of exposure,(3) automatically reopens aperture, and (4) provides Instant Return Mirroraction.

SHUTTER AND APERTURE
The KONICA Autoreflex-T is equipped with an all-metal,Hi-Synchro Copal Square S focal plane shutter. It controlithe length of time that light is permitted to enter thecamera and expose the film. A unique feature of the CopalSquare S shutter mounted in the KONICA Autoreflex-T isthat the Shutter Speed Dial (f Z) is located on top of thecamera, where shutter qpeeds are changed with the cameraat eye level for more convenient operation. The CopalSquare S shutter is noted for exteme rylit second accuraly._Strgtter lpeeds are linearly proportional as follows: !, ll2,u!, tlg, Llts, tl3o, u6o, Llt25, rl25}, 1/500, andU1000 second, plus "B" (Bulb), used for-exposuies ofmore than I second duration.
The Copal Square S shutter is synchronized for electronicflash speeds up to U tZS second. This figure is marked inred on the shutter speed dial. Expendable flastrbulbs ofl'M-" 1nd f'!'P" types may be used at all qpeeds up to andincluding U1000 second.
The "B" (BuIb) is used to make exposures longer than Isecond. A tripod or other support should be used for ..B"and for all shutter speeds slower than l/30 second.

Intermediate speeds cannot be set on the Copal Square S
strutter. However, speeds may be changed before or aftercocking the shutter.
The amount of light that is allowed to enter the camera andstrike the film is controlled by the iris diaphragm. Therelative size of the opening or aperture is usually indicatedby the use of f/stops. The larger the f/stop number the lesslight admitted. Thus f/16 admits less light than f/4.
When a KONICA Hexanon AR (EE) lens is mounted on theAutoreflex-T, the aperture is automatically closed to thecorrect f/stop after the shutter release is pressed. Theneedle in the window indicates the f/stop io which theaperture will close at the moment of exposure by the AEC(Automatic Exposure Control), through-thelens exposrremeter systern. It is not nocessary to match the needle to amark when the EE lenses are used.
Preset and manual diaphragm lenses may also be used withthe AEC meterirg system. With these, the diaphragm isstopped down manually until the meter needle is oppositethe mark near the f/1.4 setting in the finder.

KONTCAAUTOREFLEX
Stopped-Down Exposure Metering: With KONICA andother lenses having manual or preset diaphragm (not EE), aswell as with extension tubes and bellows, the Stopped-Down method is used. Here the exposure is read at theactual aperture used to make the picture. The needle in theControl Center is then simply brought to the Index Markopposite the f lt.4 figure. This can also be done by changingthe shutter speed setting. Literally thousands of lenses canbe used with this system. In addition to KONICA Auto-Reflex lenses, lenses in mounts for KONICA FP, Pentax/Praktica, Exakta/Topcon and Nikon/Nikkormat can beused for the Stopped-Down metering with the Autoreflex-Tvia their respective KONICA Lens Adapters.
Manual Exposure Settings: Should you have some specialexposure idea in mind, you need only move the diaphragmring of your KONICA Hexanon AR lens from the EEsetting to any f/stop desired. Thus, with this and the othermetering systems just discussed, exposure with the KONICAAutoreflex-T becomes a versatile tool which gives youfreedom to exploit its automation or to choose otherexposure methods. (See page 2l).
NOTE: With extremely fast films, the electric eye of theAutoreflex-T will not couple to the wider apertures ofthe lens diaphragm at very slow strutter speeds.'This isautomatically indicated in the viewfinder which strowsthe maximum apertures at which the meter is coupledunder those conditions.
The Autoreflex-T is the world's first professional Through-The-Lens metering 35mm Single Lens Reflex camera tohave fully automatic AEC exposure control. The AECmeter system establishes contact to all KONICA HexanonAR lenses by means of a meter-actuated coupling lever.When the shutter release is depressed, the spring loadedaperture in the lens is tripped to close to the limitdetermined by this coupling lever. This limit is the preciseaperture required for a perfect exposure at that instantwhen you press the button.
With a KONICA Hexanon AR lens installed in yourAutoreflex-T there is no need to waste time before shootingto match the needle to a mark. You only need to focus andcompose, then press the sttutter release-remaining assuredall the time that correct exposure is being taken care of.Full concentration can thus be made on the spontaneous oresthetic needs of your photography. In actuality, theKONICA AutoreJlex-T offers not one but three optionalmethods of aniving at the coruect or desired exposure.
AEC Metering: With a KONICA Hexanon AR (Electric-Eye) lens, the needle in the viewfinder serves only to letyou know at which f/stop the fully automatic meteringsystem will make the picture for you. Shutter anddiaphragm are cross-coupled. Thus if you choose a highshutter speed to stop action, the diaphragm will be set for awider opening automatically. On the other hand, shouldyou need a smaller stop for greater Depth-of-Field, simplyturn the Shutter Speed Dial (17) to a slower speed. Theneedle in the information center of the Viewfinder willkeep you informed. At the same time, you can read theslrutter speed setting below the viewing area (see page 17).

CORRECT EXPOSURE RANGE FOR T11,2 HEXANONLENSES: With a Hexanon AR f/1.2 lens mounted on theKONICA Autoreflex-T, correct exposure will be obtained so
long as the needle is opposite or between f/numbers in thewhite portion of the scale. Underexposure will result whenthe needle swings into the upper red area (40). Overexposurewill result when the needle swings into the lower red area(48).
CORRECT EXPOSURE RANGE FOR LENSES SLOWERTHAN t11.2: When a KONICA Autoreflex-T lens, slowerthan fll.2 is installed on the camera, a red MaximumAperture Indicator Band (44) will drop into place (i.e. tn thediagram at the right, the maximum aperture indicator sttows
that the maximum aperture available is f/1.8). With lenses
slower than f 11.2, the needle must be in a white area belowthe maximum aperture indicator.
BATTERY CHECK MARK: The Battery Check Mark (46) is
located between f/8 and f/11. See instructions for checkingbattery strength on page 9.
INDEX POINT FOR STOP-DOWN READINGS: Thisisusedwhen Non-Electric-Eye (EE) lenses are mounted on theAutoreflex-T. In this case the lens is set for manual operationand the diaphragm ring turned until the meter needle is
opposite the Index Point for Stopped-Down Lens Aperture(41). If it is desired to work at a fixed f/stop, the needle canbe brought into place by changing the shutter speed.
MANUAL APERTURE INDICATOR: When a Non-Electric-Eye (EE), manual or preset diaphragm lens is mounted on theKONICA Autoreflex-T, or extension tubes and bellows areused, a white letter "M" (43) appears at the top of the scale.
When the "M" is visible, the Stop-Down method of exposuredetermination must be used as described above.
NOTE: Hexanon AR (EE) lenses for previous KONICAAuto-Reflex czuneras may be modified to work properly withthe Autoreflex-T AEC exposute automation. Your dealer cangive you full information and service, or you can contact ourservice centers.

SAFETY INDICATORS IN VIEWFINDER
When the meter needle indicates an underexposure, choose aslower shutter speed. When it indicates an overexposure,select a faster shutter speed. This can be done withoutremoving the camera from your eye. You simply rotate theShutter Speed Dial (17) watching the Shutter Speed (42) nthe viewhnder. Pictures may be taken under ttre AEC (EE)system, as long as the needle is visible somewhere within thecorrect exposure range. tf a full turn of the Shutter SpeedDial does not drive the meter needle to come within thecorrect exposure range, pictures cannot be taken under theAEC (EE) system. However, pictures may sometimes be
taken by setting the camera in non-automatic mode.
lf you wish to use a specific lens aperture, for example, a
small aperture for greater Depth-of-Field or a large apertureto throw backgrounds out of focus, turn the shutter speeddial until the needle is opposite the desired aperture. Makesure that the shutter speed dial clicks into place at the desiredshutter speed. When shooting for Depth-of-Field, make sureto use a tripod if you are shooting at slower than 1/30 secondto prevent blur caused by camera movement.

HINTS FOR UNUSUAL EXPOSURE SITUATIONS ;
The compound dual CdS metering system in the Autoreflex-T is very selective,and is generally not unduly affected by subject matter outside its primaryexposure reading range. [t is programmed to obtain its primary exposure datafrom the main subject area. This is deemed to be the lower center third of thetotal area. The peripheral upper and marginal two thirds contributes in a lesserdegree to the compound exposure data. There are however a number of unusualsituations that require special handling.
Against-the-Light Shots: In such situations the light can shine directly intothe camera and adversely affect readings for the main portion of the subject. Inmost cases temporarily changing the film speed setting to a value one-half (ll2)that of the actual film speed will givc an extra stop exposure to correct thesituation. In extreme cases, use the regular film speed but move the camera inclose to read the important subject areas. After taking a reading, depress the
Shutter Release Button partially,which will lock the meter needle atthe close-up reading; move back, andthen depress the Shutter ReleaseButton the rest of the wav to makethe exposure.
Very Light or Dark Backgrounds:When a small light subject is against aLarge dark background, the meter
KOhilGAnlEAUTOREFLEX II
.r.2ax{li. Aq
i. 'n,rOnczc@C
rmx-9oaI'ma-c{6z@
may read the entire area as a dark subject and overexpose the main subject.Conversely, with a small dark subject against a large light background, the metermay read the entire area as a light subject and underexpose the main subject. Inthis case, a close-up reading as described under "Against-the-Light Shots" can befound helpful.
N0TEI Should you temporarily change the ASA setting to get more exposurein backlighted situations, do not forget to reset your meter to the normal ratingfor regular shots.

HOLDING YOUR CAMERA
o Hold the Camera securely - comfortably for your hand
One secret for getting ultra-sharp pictures is to preventaccidental camera movement. To do this it is sugested thatyou hold the camera firmly, as shown in the picture above,cradling the body of the Autoreflex-T against the face.
Depress the shutter release button firrnly but gently. Do notpunch the shutter release button but squeeze the exposureoff smoothly for 'Jar-free" operation.
b
Vertical shots add variety to a series of pictures. They are
especially desirable when making head and shoulder portraitsand architectural shots. Hold the camera as shown above.This position prevents accidentally pushing the lens releasebutton.

The ultra brilliant focusing screen of the KONICA Auto-reflex-T helps you make superbly detailed negatives easily,even when working under difficult lighting conditions. Tofacilitate matters there are three separate focusing areas tochoose - the center Micro Diaprism spot (49), the fineground glass ring surrounding this (50) and the balance ofthe Viewfinder which is a fine fresnel ground glas.The Micro Diaprism consist of thousands of tiny prismaticelements. When the image is out of focus, the MicroDiaprism spot shows a distinct pattern. This clears upinstantaneously the moment sharp focus has been attained.The plain ground glass is useful for subjects that create amoire pattem, such as cloth and other regularly patternedsubjects, when focused in the Micro Diaprism area. Thebalance of the focusing screen is generally used forcomposing the picture and when checking Depth-of-Fieldvisually. Illumination of the focusing screen is even, andbright to the corners, with all KONICA lenses.
A distinct pattern is seen in theMicro Diaprism area
when the image is out of focus
The moment the image is broughtinto correct focus, the
Micro Diaprism pattern disappears

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF DEPTH-OF.FIELD
Depth-of-Field is the distance between the nearest andfarthest objects in the scene that will be sharp in the finishedpicture. In practical terms this means that when you bring anobject into sharp focus, objects behind and in front of thiswill be rendered more or less sharp too, depending on a seriesof factors. For more Depth-of-Field, use a small f/stop (largerf/number) and make the irna$e of the nain object snuller by:.(a) moving the camera further away or (b) switching to a
shorter focal length lens without changing camera distance.For less Depth-of-Field, use a larger f/stop (smaller f/number)and nuke the image of the nuin object laryer by: (a') movingthe camera closer or (b) switching to a longer focal lengthlens without changing camera distance.
Using Depth-of-Field Scale on Lens:
On the Depth-of-Field Scale, f/stop markings identical tothose on the Manual Aperture Scale (8), are repeated tothe right and left of the Distance Scale Index Mark (51). TheDepth-of-Field for any focdsed distance will be foundbetween any two identical f/stop markings on the Depth-of-Field Scate. Thus, if the lens is focused at 30 feet and thepicture is to be made at f/16, referring to f/16 on both sides
of the scale tells us that the Depth-of-Field extends fromInfini$ to about 13 feet. For maximum Depth'of-Field,including Infinity, set the Infinity mark at the f/stop in use,
on the right hand side of the scale.
INFRARED FILM COMPENSATION MARK
Infrared rays come to a different focus than visible lightrays. When shooting infrared film with the appropriate filter,focus as usual. Then bring the distance figure opposite theDistance Scale Index Mark (51) into line with the InfraredCom pensation Mark (52).
FOCAL PLANE MARK
The distances on the Distance Scale (7) are calculated fromthe Focal Plane Mark '+" (18) which indicates the positionof the film in the camera.

DEPTH.OF.FIELD AND SELF.TIMER
Checking Depth-of-Field Visually :
Visual Depth-of-trield pleview is valuable whenever youwish to get an esthetic appreciation of how the finishedpicture will look when a given f/stop is used. To do this,depress the Shutter Release Button (l) partially; therebylocking the meter needle and the diaphragm at the correctaperture. With the forefinger of the left hand, depress theDepth-of-Field Button (37). The lens will then stop downto the aperture at which the meter is set, and you will beable to preview the depth-of-field in the viewfinder. Whenin non-automatic exposure mode (stopped-down or manualmethods), you need not depress the Shutter ReleaseButton, but only the Depth-of-Field Button for previewingdepth-of-field.
KONTCAqtrAUTOREFLEX JI
SELF-TIMER
The Self-Timer of the KONICAAutoreflex-T is useful wheneveryou wish to get into the pictureyourself or if the shutter actionis to be delayed in order tosteady the camera. It may beused for AEC (EE), manual dia-phragm, or flash operation. Inany case, the amount of timethe action of the shutter isdelayed amounts to about l0seconds. To use the Self-Timer.move the Self-Timer Lever (5)
all the way after the Film Transport Lever (13) has beenadvanced. Now depress the Shutter Release Button (l) inthe usual manner. The camera should be on a tripod orother support. The Self-Timer Lever will return to itsnormal position and fire the shutter at the end of its travel.
NOTE: With the camera on a tripod and your eye away fromthe eyepiece, extraneous light may enter the finder, causing an
erroneous exposure setting. lt is advisable theretbre to temporarilycover the Viewfinder eyepiece against direct light entrance. Also,do not stand directly in lront of the lens when releasing theshutter, since then-the metering system will be measuring you oryour shadow instead of the scene to be photographed. This couldlead to incorrect exposure.
You can also usc the Self-Timer simply to delay shutter action so
that your touching of the Shutter Release Button occurs a fewseconds before the picture is snapped. In this case you can set theSelf-Timer Lever only part of the way and obtain delays of less
than l0 seconds. This method is used when you want both of yourhands to hold the carnera rock-steady while the Self-Timer tripsthe shutter.

After all the pictures on the roll have been taken, the filmmust be rewound into the cartridge before opening thecamera back. Otherwise the film will be completelyexposed and useless.
An occasional look at the Film Countet (2) will help keepyou posted as to when you are coming to the end of theroll and prevent your accidentally tearing the film out ofthe cartridge. If you should come to the end of the filmwhile the camera is at your eye in shooting position, theFilm Tranqport Lever (13) will tighten and refuse toadvance even if the shutter has been released. If thishappens do not force it! [nstead, depress the Film RewindButton (36) and at the same time move the Film TransportLever as far as it will go. It will then snap back into itsnormal position.
1 Depress the Film Rewind Button (36). Once it isr depressed, the button remains in place.
2 Raise the Fi}n Rewind Crank (19) and tum it in the
- direction inscribed on it, turning not too rapidly andin one continuous motion.
? When tension on the Film Rewind Crank eases, theY film has been fully .rewound. You can now open thecamera back and effortlessly remove the cartridge bytipping it towards yourself and letting it drop out ofthe bottom opening.
The Film Rewind Button returns to its original positiononce the Film Tranqport Lever is again actuated.

FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
The all metal Copal Square S focal plane shutter is
synchronized for use with flash bulbs and electronic flash.These light sources are useful for making action-stoppingphotos in dim light. Their high light output makes it posibleto produce negatives that have good Depth-of-Field too, andoverall sharpness. Flash and electronic t-lash are also used
outdoors to [ghten or fill in deep shadows.

CHANGING LENSES
To Remove the Lens
from the Camera:
Depress the Lens Release Button (23), grip the silver portionof the lens barrel, turn lens barrel counterclockwise until thetwo red dots (one on the camera body and the other on thelens barrel) align. The lens will then come off the camera.
NOTES:
When the lens is removed, do not touch any part of theinterior of the camera.
If the lens is to be left off the camera for any length of time,protect the camera interior from dust and moisture by use ofa KONICA Body Cap. Where this is not available, keep thecamera in a case or dustproof container.
To Mount Your Lens
on the Camera:
To mount a KONICA lens on the Autoreflex-T, line up thered dot on the lens barrel with the red dot on the camera
body. The lens will "seat" into the camera body easily. Thengrip the silver part of the lens barrel and turn the lens
clockwise until it clicks into place.
