Фотоаппарат полароид 636 инструкция по применению

* — Также подходит к моделям Talking Camera, Barbie, One Step и им подобным.

Устройство фотоаппарата

Электронная лампа-вспышка, овальная рамка (указатель рабочего положения линзы крупного плана), объектив, фотоэлемент, регулятор экспозиции, окно для выхода фотографий, шторка (предохраняет выходящий из камера снимок от воздействия света) , рычаг установки линзы, крупного плана, дверца кассетоприемника, спусковая кнопка загвора, спусковая кнопка для съемки без лампы-вспышки, защелка дверцы кассетоприемника, зеленый световой сигнал (указывает на готовность лампы-вспышки к работе), счетчик кадров (показывает количество кадров, оставшихся в кассете), видоискатель, упор для большого пальца руки, шейный ремешок, овальная рамка, рычаг установки линзы крупного плана

Подготовка лампы-вспышки к съемке

Возьмитесь за боковые поверхности лампы-вспышки и поворотом вверх зафиксируйте ее в рабочем положении. Вспышка автоматически перезаряжается в течение 3-х секунд после ее установки в рабочее положение при наличии пленки в фотоаппарате, а также после очередной съемки или при легком нажатии на спусковую кнопку затвора. Применение вспышки при ведении съемки как е помещении, так и на открытом воздухе позволяет получать мгновенные фотографии высокого качества практически при любом освещении. После окончания съемки следует опустить лампу-вспышку в исходное положение для защиты объектива и блокировки спусковой кнопки затвора.

Зарядка фотоаппарата

Пользуйтесь только кассетами Impossible серии 600.

Каждая кассета рассчитана на получение восьми цветных снимков и снабжена встроенной электрической батареей для питания фотоаппарата и лампы-вспышки.

На каждой упаковке с кассетой указана дата выпуска пленки. Срок годности пленки 12 месяцев со дня выпуска. При покупке пленки проверьте эту дату, чтобы убедиться, что Вы приобретаете свежую пленку.

Для зарядки пленки в фотоаппарат: cдвиньте вперед защелку дверцы кассетоприемника. Как только дверца закроется, фотоаппарат выбросит защитную карточку, а на задней стороне фотоаппарата загорится зеленый световой сигнал, указывающий на готовность вспышки к работе.

Для извлечения пустой кассеты из фотоаппарата: cдвиньте вперед защелку дверцы кассетоприемника — дверца откроется. Потяните за цветной язычок на кассете и вытащите ее из фотоаппарата.

Фотосъемка. Подготовка фотоаппарата

Расположите фотоаппарат на ладони левой руки (а).

Или, если Вам это удобнее, возьмите фотоаппарат так, чтобы пальцы были расположены на видоискателе, а большой палец левой руки был снизу (б).

Прижмите большой палец правой руки к упору, а указательный палец поставьте на спусковую кнопку затвора. Остальные пальцы правой руки должны быть прижаты к ладони.

Следите за тем. чтобы пальцы не перекрывали окно для выхода фотографий.

Расположение объекта съемки

Съемка в помещении: для получения качественных фотографий объект съемки должен располагаться на светлом фоне на расстоянии 1.2 — 3 м от фотоаппарата.

Съемка на открытом воздухе: расстояние до объекта съемки должно быть не менее 1,2 м. Для получения качественных фотографий рекомендуется постоянно использовать вспышку. При съемке следите за тем. чтобы солнце находилось сзади или сбоку от снимающего. Не рекомендуется производить съемку, если солнце находится непосредственно над головой снимающего. Кроме того, перед съемкой следует убедиться в отсутствии посторонних предметов между фотоаппаратом и объектом съемки.

Съемка через стекло: определите границы кадра в видоискателе и нажмите на спусковую кнопку затвора. Как только Вы отпустите спусковую кнопку, фотоаппарат выдаст готовую фотографию, а вспышка перезарядится. Фотографирование объектов при дневном освещении через стекло представляет собой особый вид съемки, при котором необходимо выключать фотовспышку, чтобы избежать нежелательных эффектов отражения. В этом случае используйте спусковую кнопку, предназначенную для съемки без вспышки (см рисунок).

Съемка крупным планом

Для проведения съемки установите рычажок линзы крупного плана в положение 0,3 -1.2 м, как показано на рисунке. Овальная рамка, появившаяся в видоискателе, предупреждает о том, что объектив подготовлен к съемке крупным планом. Если при портретной съемке лицо взрослого человека помещается в овальной рамке (см. рисунок), то расстояние до объекта съемки выбрано правильно. При съемке маленьких детей, нескольких предметов или группы людей используйте всю площадь кадра видоискателя, а не только размеры овальной рамки, которую теперь следует центрировать на одном из объектов. По окончании крупноплановой съемки, необходимо вернуть рычажок в положение 1,2 м – 8. Рычажок также автоматически возвращается в исходное положение при опускании вспышки.

Регулятор экспозиции

Этот переключатель используется в случае необходимости проведения повторной съемки с целью корректировки яркости изображения на снимке.

(а) Чтобы получить более светлое изображение на снимке, передвиньте регулятор в сторону белой стрелки

(б) Чтобы получить более темное изображение на снимке, передвиньте регулятор в сторону черной стрелки.

(в) Закончив повторную съемку объекта, верните регулятор в центральное положение

Если регулятор экспозиции не возвращен в центральное положение, в нижней части видоискателя появляется в качестве напоминания двойная белая стрелка

Условия получений качественных фотографии

Во время проявления держите фотографию за широкий край белой рамки и предохраняйте ее от воздействия прямых солнечных лучей.

Температура

При температуре воздуха ниже 13′ С следите за тем. чтобы фотоаппарат и пленка не переохлаждались. Сразу же после съемки уберите проявляющуюся фотографию в теплый карман или другое теплое место и подержите ее там, не сгибая, по крайней мере в течение минуты. Более подробная информация о температуре хранения фотографий содержится на упаковке кассеты.

Объектив

Избегайте прикосновений к объективу. Чтобы удалить пыль и отпечатки пальцев с поверхности объектива, слегка подышите на него и осторожно протрите чистой и мягкой салфеткой. Не допускается использовать жесткие салфетки, предназначенные для протирки стекол очков.

Уход за роликами проявляющего устройства

Загрязнение роликов проявляющего устройства может вызвать появление пятен или полос на фотографиях. Ролики проявляющего устройства находятся за дверцей кассетоприемника. Если необходимо почистить ролики при заряженном аппарате, дверцу следует открывать при неярком освещении. Для чистки роликов применяется влажная неворсистая ткань.

В случае, если фотоаппарат не производит съемку

Проверьте счетчик кадров. При пустой кассете вспышка будет продолжать заряжаться от батареи, но спусковая кнопка работать не будет. Зеленый световой сигнал на задней стороне камеры указывает лишь на то, что вспышка готова к работе.

Мастерские по обслуживанию и ремонту

Frequently Asked Questions

Can’t find the answer to your question in the manual? You may find the answer to your question in the FAQs about the Polaroid 636 below.

Why does the flash not work when I take a photo with my Polaroid 636?

Ensure that the flash is turned on by sliding the flash switch located on the side of the camera to the ‘ON’ position. Also, make sure that the flash ready indicator light on the front of the camera is illuminated before taking a picture.

How can I adjust the focus on my Polaroid 636 camera?

To get the focus right, turn the lens barrel located on the camera’s front until the subject you want is sharp in the viewfinder. The barrel has marks showing the distance range for clear focus.

Why are my pictures coming out too dark or too bright with the Polaroid 636?

Make sure ya have selected the right exposure settin’ based on the lightin’ conditions. The camera offers different exposure options, such as ‘Normal’ for average lightin’, ‘Bright’ for well-lit scenes, and ‘Dark’ for low light situations. Adjust the exposure switch on top of the camera accordin’ly.

How do I load the film into my Polaroid 636?

Open the camera back by pressing the latch located on the side. Insert the film pack into the film compartment, ensuring that the yellow marks on the film align with the yellow marks in the camera. Close the camera back securely until it clicks into place.

What should I do if the film doesn’t eject from my Polaroid 636 after taking a photo?

At times, ya might run into a snag with the film ejecting in the Polaroid 636. Give the darkslide a gentle tug (that’s the black tab on the front) until it extends all the way out. Once it stops, slide it back in and see if the film comes out right. If it’s still playing up, give the camera a reboot by takin’ out and putting back the film pack.

* Adju stable neck strap and on s ome mo de ls, trip od soc ket.

SPECIAL NOTE: 636 AF AUTOFOCUS CAMERA:

Model 636 AF Autofocus Camera, from a service standpoint, is simila r to the 636 OneStep/Close
Up only in outward appearance.

As an extension of the 636 Camera line, the 636 AF uses a slightly modified version of the Impulse
shutter and a repackaged version of the Joshua electronics and software. It uses wink autofocus
from two feet to infinity, a rapid recharge strobe with a range of 10 feet, and has a maximum
shutter aperture of f/12.

In addition to more t han two dozen unique parts, the 636 AF camera uses a combination of parts
from the 636, the Impulse Shutter and Joshua electronics.

SECTION 2 — MODEL 636 SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

1. Shown here is the location of the switches which regulate flash charging, flash fire and
exposure. We will now run t h rough a flas h exposure sequen ce.

2. Lightly pressing the exposure button closes the S10 contacts, charging the strobe main
capacitor.

3. Within five seconds the green LED at the rear of the strobe comes on, indicating that the
main capacitor is fully charged. The picture taker may now press in the exposure butto n
fully. This closes S1 and S10 remains closed. Closing S1 energizes the solenoid which
pulls in slight ly.

4. As the solenoid pulls in, it releases the walking beam from the shut ter latch . The springloaded S5 actuato r dr ops down, closing the S5P and S5L contacts. S5L star ts an internal
clock. The camera electronics signal the solenoid to deenergize.

5. With the solenoid deenergized and the walking beam free of the shutter latch, springaction opens the shutter blades. The internal clock is running and the photocell starts to
measure light.

6. In a fill- flash expo sure, when t h e pho toc ell sees 75% of the ligh t n eeded for a proper
exposure, it signals the flash to fire. The flash provides the remaining 25% of the
necessary light. Note that in a fill-fla sh exposure, the ph otocell alwa ys be ats the internal
clock in ordering flash fire.

7. When the photocell sees 100% of the light needed for the exposure, the camera electronics
orders t he flash to quench and the solenoid to energize. The solenoid then pulls the blades
closed.

8. After the blades close, t h e moto r is tur ned o n, activ ating a gear d rive syst em similar to the
system in the On eStep. The timin g gear:

advances the pick
indexes the counter
brings the S5 actuator back to its original position.

Th e solenoid deenergizes and th e sh utter syst em is again la tche d c los ed , e nding the fillflash sequence.

9. Th e sequen ce for low-amb ient conditions b egins id entic ally to th e fill-flash sequenc e. The
flash is charged via S10 and the shutter blades open the same way. However, the flash is
fired by the internal clock reaching 74 ms, rather than by the photocell light measurement.
This happens because there is relatively little light passing through to the photocell.

10. Next, the camera logic asks whether the subject is NEAR or FAR. This information is
needed to pro per ly set the electronics for low ambient pictures.

11. The camera determines whether the subject is NEAR or FAR by measuring the amount of
light reflected b ack to th e ph otocell 2 milliseconds after th e flash has fired (76 ms into the
exposure sequence). If the measurement is more than 50% of the tot al needed for a proper
exposure, the camera decides the subject is NEAR. If the subject is NEAR, the electronics
sets the clock to time-out at 124 ms.

12. In a low-light NEAR picture, the blades open partially so that the photocell is measuring
infrared light through the infrared filter. The flash is quenched and the shutter blades
closed either when the photocell sees 100% of the light needed for a proper exposure o r
when the internal clock reaches 124 ms.

13. After the blades close, th e moto r is tur n ed on. The timin g g ear a dvances th e pick, indexes
the counter, and brings the S5 actuator back to its o r iginal position. The shutter system
is latched closed, ending the low ambient NEAR sequence.

14. If the light measured 2 milliseconds after the flash has fired is less th an 50% of t he total
needed for a proper exposure, the camera decides the subject is FAR.

15. In a low-light FAR picture, the blades open fully and the photocell sees scene light
through the photopic filter. When 100% of the necessary light is seen or when the internal
clock reaches 396 ms, the flash is quenched and the shutter blades close.

16. After the blades close, th e moto r is tur n ed on. The timin g g ear a dvances th e pick, indexes
the counter, and brings the S5 actuator back to its o r iginal position. The shutter system is
latched closed, ending the low-ambient FAR sequence.

17. For a non-flash picture (through a window), t he exposure is start ed by pressing S1 only.
The end-exposure command is given either when the photocell sees 100% of the necessary
light for a proper exposure or when the internal clock reaches 396 ms.

Camera Operating/Exposure Sequence Diagram

SECTION 3 — MODEL 636 THEORY OF OPERATION

1. This is the Model 636 Camera which is one of a new line of 600 cameras.

2. The Model 636 shares many of the features of the 635 and 640 Cameras. Among these are:
Fixed Fo cus Lens , Electron ic S h utter, Film Shade , L ighte n/Dark en Co nt rol, Empty Pack
Lockout, Film Co unte r, Carrying Strap and a Fill Flash Capabilit y.

3. One of the major differences between the Model 636 and the OneStep is the type of film it

uses. Like all of the 600 line, the 636 uses a new film format. The film has a speed of 6 O0
ASA.

4. On the inner edge of the 600 film pack is a set of molded plastic tabs whic h interface with

the pack spring in the camera. The two middle tabs press down the ramps of the pack
sp ring, allowing the film pack to s lide over th e stop for ins er tion in to the camera. On o lder
style SX-70 packs there are no tabs. As a result, the pack is prevented from being inserted
into a 600 line camera by the pack spring stop.

5. On the other hand, a 600 film pack can n ot be ins er ted int o an S X- 70 style camera sin ce th e

tabs on the pack are held back by the older style pack springs.

6. The battery in the 600 film pack h as a hig her capacity than the conv entional SX- 70 battery.

It pro vides power for t he shutt er solenoid, the motor and for t he built-in electronic flash.

7. When you open the camera, you can see another o bvious difference between the Model 636

and the One Step — a built-in electronic flash. The flash is designed to be used for all
pictures, both indoors and outdoors.

8. The electronic flash features a rapid charge time of about 5 seconds. For o utdoo r pictures,

t h e flash is used to provide a proportio n al fill- flash to e liminate objectionable sha dows.
Indoors, the flash provides contro lled light for scenes within a 4 to 10-foot range.

9. The flash is charged by lightly pressing the camera exposure button. The exposure mode is

electronically inhibited until the flash is fully charged. When the green LED comes on, a
picture can be taken by pressing the exposure button in all the way.

10. An alternate way to charge the flash is to lightly press the exposure butto n. The button can

t h en be r eleased. Afte r the gree n LED h as co me on the flash will stay fully c harged for
approximately one minute. When the exposure is ready to be made, the exposure button is
presse d in fully, in o n e mot ion .

11. The built-in flash is an electronic quench-type flash. It can provide a full output of about

340 zonal-lumen seconds (ZLS) to illuminate a scene or it can be shut down early to
provide less light to the scene. The way the camera decides to provide full or part ial light
o utput will b e discussed later.

12. Whether or not the flash provides full output , the main capacitor delivers the same amount

of energy. Therefore, if the flash is ordered to shut down early, some means must be found
to dissipate the remaining energy in the circuit. This remaining energy is diverted through a
thyristor (TH1) on the strobe board.

13. Now, let’s t alk about the way the camera logic decides when to fire the flash and how much

light it ne e ds fro m the flash before it q uenches it.

14. Refer to the Sequence of Operation section for a description of the order in which all of the

events in an exposure cycle occur. (The operating sequence is also shown in diagram form,
at the end of Section 2.)

15. There are t hree different conditions in which a flash picture can be taken:

1 — In high ambient light.
2 — In low ambient light with the subject near the camera.
3 — In low ambient light with the subject far from the camera.

16. Basically, the Model 636 uses either a light measurement alone to fire and shut down the

flash, or a combination of light measurement and time measurement to fire and shut down
the flash. The method used depends upon scene brightness.

17. After the flash is charged and the exposure button is pressed all the way in, three things

happ en s imultan eously wh ich decide how the flash is going to be con trolled:

1 — The solenoid releases the shutter blades and they start to open;
2 — The photocell starts t o measure scene light;
3 — An internal clock in the camera logic is started.

18. From this point, there is a race between the internal clock and the photocell to decide which

is g oin g to contr ol the flash. Either the internal cloc k will time-out before the p h otocell
mea sure s a pre- determined amount of light or vice versa. W hicheve r occurs firs t will fire the
flas h .

19. Now, let’s go back to the three conditions in which a flash picture can be taken. The first is

in high ambient light. In this condition, there is so much scene light available that the
photocell always wins the race to fire the flash. This is the Fill F lash mode of operation.

20. In th e high ambient or Fill Flash mode, the photoc ell measur es scene light. When it sees

75% of the total light required for a proper exposure, the photocell fires the flash.

21. At t his po int , the blade s are still o pen an d the expo sure is be in g ma de. The photocell

continues mea s uring light w hich now include s the light bounc ing ba c k fro m the flash. Next,
the camera must decide when to shut down the flash and when to close the shutter blades.

22. In th e high ambient (Fill F lash ) mod e, th e pho toc ell make s the decision to s hut do wn the

flash and close the shutter blades. It do es this when it sees the remaining 25% of the light
required for a proper exposure. (This light is provided by the flash.) The camera logic
signals the flash to quench and commands the solenoid to close the blades.

23. The next condition in which a flash exposure can be made is in a low ambient condition

(low light leve l, ou tdoo r scenes and all in doo r s cenes ). In t his c on dition, th er e is so lit tle
light that the clock beats the phot ocell in the race to fire the flash. When the clock reaches
74 millise cond s (ms), the flas h is fired.

24. Two milliseconds after flash fire, a very importan t question is asked by the camer a logic: Is

the subject near or far? The answer is needed to properly set the clock for time-out.

25. The question is answered by measuring the amount of light seen by the photocell two

millise conds after flash fire .

26. If the measurement is equal to o r more than 50% of the light needed for a proper exposure,

the camera senses subject is NEAR. If the measurement is less than 50% of the light needed
for a proper exposur e, the camera senses that the subject is FAR.

27. For NEAR subjects the logic instructs the clock to stop the exposure at 124 ms after the

blades open. For FAR sub jects t he clo ck will time-out at 396 ms to stop the exposure.

28. However, the ending of the exposure is also subject to the photo cell light measurement. In

oth er words, for a Low Ambie nt NE A R or FAR picture, ther e is st ill a race between the
photocell and the clock to shut down the flash and close the blades.

29. In low amb ient N EAR conditio ns, the flash will s hut do wn and th e blades clo se either w hen

the photocell has seen 100% of the light necessary for a proper exposure or when the clock
times-out at 124 ms.

30. In low amb ient FA R conditions, the flash will shut down and t he blad es clo se eithe r w hen

the photocell has seen 100% of the light necessary for a proper exposure or when the clock
times-out at 396 ms.

31. The different clock settings for Low Ambient conditions are called the DUAL TIME-OUT

SYSTEM. T hey allow long time-outs for distant, low-light scenes such as a sunset or an
auditor ium shot, or limit the len gth of the expo sure for clos e- in sc ene s to minimize ca mer a
or subject motion.

32. So far we’ve talked about the photo cell measuring scene light to cont rol the exposure, but

we haven’t mentioned the most significant part o f the light measurement system: Infrared
Sensing.

33. In earlier cameras where a photocell was used to contr ol the exposure, the photo cell could

be fooled into giving a reading which did not result in a good picture.

34. This was especially true of flash pictures taken of subjects close to the camera. Light-

colored clothing would reflect too much light to t he phot ocell causing it to st op the
exposure too soon.

35. On th e other hand , dark clot hing would foo l the p h otoc ell into timing out a long ex posure,

since relatively little light was reflected back. This would result in a washed-out face.

36. To overcome this problem, the Model 636 uses a photocell with a two-part filter in front of

it, called a Dynamic Infrared Photometer system. The top half of the filter passes visible
light which the human eye can see. This light is used to time exposures for non-flash,
fill-flash, a nd low -lig ht , d istant scene flash pictures. T he top filter is a photopic filter.

Th e botto m h alf of the filter passes infra red lig h t whic h is inv isible to the hu man e ye, b ut
which the film can see. This light is used to time exp osures fo r fla sh p ictures in low light
where the subject is near the camera. The bottom filter is called the infrared filter.

37. Now you may be wondering why infrared measurements greatly reduce over- or under-

exposures in close-up flash pictures.

38. This chart shows the light spectrum. In the infrared region of the spectrum, a strange

phenomenon occurs. The light reflected off just about all materials is equal. Therefore, the
light passing through the infrared filter is balanced, preventing the photocell from being
fo oled by contr asting le v els of light or dark subject matt er .

39. For Fill Fla sh pictu re s, th e sh utter bla de s o pe n as shown here . The blades are set s o only

visible light passes through the firs t photo pic aper ture to th e photocell. T h us, for Fill Flash,
exposure shutdown is based on the measurement of visible light only.

40. In a low light NEAR shot, t he blades travel farther. During blade travel a very small

amount of visible light passes thro ugh t he first photopic aperture. The blades move to the
position shown, the stro be fires and a larger amount of infrared light passes through t he
infrared aperture to the photo cell. Exposure shutdown is dependent upon the combination
o f an extremely limited amount of v isible light a dded to the larger amoun t of infra re d lig ht
(or on the clock time-out).

41. For low light FAR pictures, the blades travel even farther. First, there is a very small

amount of light passed through the first photopic aperture. Next, a very small amount of
light passes through the infrared apertu re. Finally, the blades open fully and a large amount
of visible light passes through the second photop ic aperture. The exposure shutdown is
dependent on the measurement of this combination of light (or on clock time-out).

42. The flash may be bypassed on those rare occasions where it is not desired. This is pretty

much limited to takin g p ictures in daylight thro ugh a wind ow. In th is condition, th e flash
can be prevented from firing by pressing only the back part of the exposure button.
Exposure shutdown is determined by the photocell seeing 100% of the light required for a
proper expo sure or by the internal cloc k timing o ut at 396 ms.

43. The dark slide cycle is the same as in Pronto! type cameras. When a fresh pack is loaded

and the front door closed, S1 and S9 are closed and the solenoid energized. The S5 actuator
drops, closing S5L and S5P, tur ning on the motor. The dark slide is ejected and the counter
set to 10. The slider is cammed back by the counter, op ening S1 and S9. The rotation of
t h e timing gear lifts t h e S 5 actuator, o pe n ing S5L and S 5P . The camer a is n ow ready for the
exposure cycle.

44. During an exposure cycle, the camera electronics prevents the flash from being recharged.

Also, once the flash is charged, S10 must be closed along with S1 to fire the flash. You
cannot release S10 and press only S1 to fire the flash.

NO S1

45. There are two mechanical inhibits. When the counter reaches its blank setting, S1 is

prevented from closing. This is the same as the empty pack lockout feature o n Pronto!
cameras.

46. Finally, when the camera is in the folded position, S10 is mechanically locked open by a tab

on the flash housing. This prevents the flash from being charged.

SECTION 5 — MODEL 636 CAMERA TROUBLESHOOTING

Introduction

Before performing the troubleshooting procedures presented in this section, you should be
t h oroughly fa miliar with the Theo ry/ Se quence po rtion of this
manual. Quite obviously you must know how the 636 Camera works before you can start to
diagnose its pr ob lems.

Initial Inspect io n

The following procedure should be done before you get involved in an operational check of
the 636 Camera. Before long, you will find this procedure becomes automatic an d you will
no lo ng er have to refer to it for s tep-by-step guidance.

1. Visual

a. Inspect the camera for obvious faults such as gaps between body parts; and missing,

broken, distorted, scratched or otherwise defective parts. Pay particular attention to
lens, viewfinder and flash shield components for signs of smudges and foreign
matter. Examine the camera for cosmetic defects which are beyond allowable
standards.

b. Look into the lens. The shutter blades should be closed.

c. Look at t he C ounter window. W ith no film in th e Camera th e window shou ld be

blank, indicating that the Counter has reset.

2. Pre-Operat ional

a. With the strobe clo s ed, p ress the S 10 button. It s hould not move, be ing he ld out by

the interlock tab on the strobe housing.

b. Erect and then close the stro be. I t should move through its entire travel freely with

no binding. Also, when the strobe is erected and the camera is tilted forward, t he
str obe sh ould not fa ll forward.

c. Move the lighten/darken control tab from full-light to full-dark and then back to its

nomina l detent posit ion . It shou ld move fre ely with n o b inding d ur ing its travel.

d. Press the front door release butt on. It sho uld offer some resistance to t humb

pressure. At t he forward end of its travel, the release button should drop the front
door open. Close the front door to be certain it latches properly.

e. Press the S10/S1 buttons through t heir entire travel. They should move smoot hly

with no binding.

f. With t h e fr ont do or open, look int o the film comp artment. Check th e following:

— Pack spring and battery contacts are not distor ted.

— Taking mirror is not broken, loose or scratched.

— Spread ro ll bracket assembly components are OK and rollers move freely.

— Spread ro llers are clean.

— With pick height gauge #12430 or #12504 (see P.A. SX-70 #291) see that the pick
is positioned correct ly.

— No foreign mat er ial in film c avity.

— Hanger is in proper position.

— Pack pawl leg is in a down position and not distort ed.

— Co ne fille r #550851A is in position or cone has molded fix (See RIB 600AM #6).

3. Functional Test

Perform the following functional test o n the 636 camera using film pack simulat or #12467
(.3 ohms) and power supply Power Mate #12531 or Lambda #12429.

1. Setup

a. Plug the film p ack simulator into t he po we r supply. Be sure the polarity is correct.

b. Plug the power supply into a 110 VAC source.

c. In stall the film pack simulator again :

— The camera should go through the dark slide cycle.

— The shutter blades should remain closed.

— The stro be should not charge (g r een LED o ff)

— The counter should go from blank to #10.

d. Depress the S10 Button lightly so that it just touches the S1 Button.

— Four to six seconds later, the green LED should light, indicating strobe is charged.
LED stays on about 30 seco nds.

— Depress S10/ S 1 Bu tto ns fully: the stro be should fire.

— Repeat step d. four more times.

e. Cover the photocell with black photo gr aphic tape and turn the Camera to face you.

— Depress the S1 But ton only: the blades should open to a small aperture (f/20) and
then close.

— Repeat t he st ep abo ve four t imes.

— Remove the tape from the photocell.

f. Depress the Sl0/S1 buttons fully:

— the camera will not cycle (Empty Pack L ockout).

— the strobe will ch ar ge .

— the gre en L ED will light in 4 — 6 seconds.

— the stro be will not fire.

— the counter window will b e blank .

g. Re mov e the film pack simulato r a nd do or p awl closure:

— the counter will return to its s tartin g p osit ion.

h. In sert a known good film pack wit h film into th e camera. Take a 2-foo t cyan

background picture with strobe:

— observe th at t he film transport and d elive ry systems ar e fun ctio ning pr operly.

— observe the finished picture for complete coverage.

— observe the finished picture for evidence of dirt or cracks on the taking mirror.

ZLS Output 260 to 400 ZLS

Charge Time (2nd cycle) 4 sec. max

Energy Draw (2nd cycle) 12.5 amp sec.

B. Graywall Preparation

1. The target sho uld be constructed of a flat hard board material such as Masonite. It must be
a minimum size of 4 ft . x 4 ft. (1 .2 m x 1.2 m).

2. Prepare the surface by applying a primer coat of flat white latex paint. The surface must
have a uniform white appearance when dry. If necessary, use two coats of flat white latex
paint to achieve uniform coverage. Allow 24 hours for the primer to dry.

3. After the primer has dried, apply two coats of special gray paint which has been provided.
The two co ats must be applied in opposite directions. For example, apply the first coat in
an up and down direction and the second coat in a left and right direction. Allow plenty of
drying time between the two co ats. The amount of drying time is dependent on temperat ur e a n d humidity.

4. Choose a suitable location for th e test in g are a. The follo wing cond itions must be me t:

a. The testing area must be located where lighting on the graywall target will

remain b elow 10 can dle s/square foot. Most ro om lighting meet s this
requirement. Avoid areas where outside light shining through a window can
strike the target resulting in erroneous strobe exposure readings.

b. Select an area where the graywall target can be secured to a wall which is

perfectly flat. The area must be large enough to allow the testing equipment to
be placed 4.5 feet (137cm) from the target (see Figure 1). The area must be
free of any obstacles between the camera under test and the graywall.

5. Secure the graywall target to the wall and set up the t est equipment as instructed in the
setup procedur es. T he center o f the tar get must be aligned with the taking lens of the
camera under test.

C. Setting up the Model 12650-2 Star Tester

1. Install the Star Tester o n a level surface with sufficient clearance to allow prop er air flow
for the coo ling fan and exhaust vents. Also, the test er work surface should be located so
the various fixtures can be located 4.5 feet (137 cm) from a graywall target.

2. Insert a modified strobe fixture #12657B (see inset, Fig. 2) into two o penings on the tester
(Fig. 2). (For details of this modified fixture, see Product Alert 600AM #92-30, dated 7/
