This manual (which is printed by Sears in Black and White) can be used for the Chinon CP-5, DP-5, and CP-
6.   So any statements about the figures showing colored lights in the viewfinder will show up Black and White. 
This Sears KSX-P is a direct clone of the CP-5 (

) with the Sears name on it.  The CP-5s is a 

variation with a spot metering system.  The DP-5 has a chrome top with a few different markings.  The CP-6 
has a spot metering system and a DX film reading system in the camera back which is not stated in this 
manual.  You can manually change the ASA setting on the CP-6 by just moving the Exposure compensation.  
The exposure compensation dial by the rewind knob that allows two stops over and under exposure until until 
it is set to "0" again..   This camera can use any Chinon (to automatically set flash shutter speed) flash or the 
specific Sears flash (listed in this manual) that will set the shutter speed.

Sears usually sold Ricoh made cameras (KS brands: K for K-mount - S for Sears) which were clones of the 
Ricoh KR (K for K-mount and R for Ricoh) but Ricoh flashes will only set the shutter speed on their own 
cameras.  I would not even use a Ricoh dedicated flash on a Chinon or Chinon clone camera as the special 
contact pins could damage the Chinon/Sears electronics.
