Mamiya RB67 Pro-SD Operation Diagram

Attaching a lens with the shutter
released or the mirror raised

When a lens is removed from the body, the

mirror is set (lowered) and the lens shutter

cocked. Conversely, when attaching a lens,

the same conditions should prevail (mirror set

and shutter cocked). However, should a lens
be attached with either the mirror raised or

shutter released, or both, the camera can be
reset by following the procedures outlined
below.

If the mirror is raised (regardless of whether

the lens shutter is cocked or released), simply
depress the Cocking Lever to reset the cam-
era.

If the mirror is set and lens shutter released

(closed), remove the Dark Slide from the Film

Holder and depress the Shutter Release But-

ton (the film will not be exposed). Next,
depress the Cocking Lever to reset the cam-

era.

Mirror condition

Shutter blade condition Operation
