Important notes
Always
keep
the meter
switched
off when
not actually
taking
readings.
Leaving
the
meter
switched
on will rapidly
exhaust
the
battery.
It is also necessary
to keep
the
meter
switched
off when
mounting
a
Super-Takumar
lens on the Spotmatic
camera
body.
If
it is switched
on, the tip
of the automatic
diaphragm
release
pin of
the lens will hit the pin release
plate
inside
the camera
body
and
it may get
damaged.

When removing the Super-Takumar
50mm f/1.4 lens from the camera
body, do not place it on its
threaded end without the rear
mount cap in place, or you will
scratch
its rear element lens.

When the index of the shutter
speeds
turns to red, it indicates that the
shutter
and film speed settings
are
off the meter's measurability
range.
Change the shutter
speed setting
to a faster or slower setting.
Refer to page 15.
When
the meter
is switched
on, the
lens (any
Super-Takumar
lens)
is
in its manual
position
even
when
the
diaphragm
preview
lever
is in "AUTO"
(aufomatic)
position.
When
the
meter
is switched
off manually,
or
automatically
after
shutter
release,
the
lens returns
to its automatic
position
when
it is set in "AUTO"
position.

when taking pictures

do not apply to the Spotmatic.
6
Do not use the Super-Takumar
50mm f/1.4 lens with any other
camera or any other Honeywell
Pentax model except with models
H3v and H1a, having orange-colored
"R" marking
on the film rewind knob,
or you will damage the rear element
of the lens_
No!
7
The length of the tripod's screw
should not exceed the normal length
of 3/16/1 (4.5mm).
Do not extend it
longer than this length when
mounting
your camera on tripod.
Forcing longer screws into the tripod
socket of the camera will damage
the mechanism.

We do not guarantee
the quality of
photographs
when brands other than
Takumar
lenses and Pentax accessories,
such as lens extenders,
are used.
