10. P back - Mamiya
645 AFD
The P back for Mamiya 645AFD is designed for the in-
novative Mamiya 645 AFD camera. The Mamiya 645
utilizes a hybrid TTL phase-difference-detection type
auto focus system. Furthermore the Mamiya 645AFD
provides auto exposure settings. The Mamiya 645AFD
with a P back encourages all kinds of photographic
uses from portraiture and wide-angle photography
to high speed shooting and capturing fast action with
telephoto lenses.
The functionality of the P back is well integrated with
the Mamiya 645AFD camera. The P back communi-
cates with the Mamiya camera through a fast internal
electrical computer interface.
Shutter latency settings
The Mamiya 645 AFD can be used with both Long and
short latency.
Default your P back is set to Short latency, which
means that the P back will respond fast on triggering
on the cost of battery time.
To save battery time you can set the P back to Long la-
tency, and thereby gain extra valuable time before the
battery runs dry. This on the cost of response time.

mode section
