Mamiya 7 II - Manual (Page 32)

Photographing to conform to purposes
Time Exposures
When taking an exposure longer than 4 seconds, set
shutter to "B" (bulb). At "B" the shutter will remain open
as long as the release is pressed down.
•
In order to prevent camera movement it is best to
use a cable release and tripod.
Cable Release Attachment
The cable release can be screwed in the release socket
on the lower left side of the body as pictured.
Precautions for Bulb Photographing
• When bulb photographing, the battery is consumed. A new alkaline manganese battery is
durable for about 3 hours, silver oxide battery and lithium battery for about 7 hours. When the
battery is fully consumed, the shutter will be closed automatically.
[Using a tripod]
When using the camera with a large tripod head, the head may interfere with the spool stud, preventing
film from being loaded. To prevent this, use the optional tripod adapter N.
• The threaded tripod screw hole is 5.5mm deep and the use of a longer tripod screw might
result in damaging the camera. So be careful not to apply unnecessary pressure when
mounting the camera.
