[Determining the shutter speed] The Mamiya 6 MF has an aperture-prior- ity, AE lens shutter. Once the aperture and film speed are set, the AE meter selects a proper shutter speed in relation to the set aperture. Under the manual photographic mode, proper shutter speed is indicated by a red LED within the viewfinder.
Viewfinder display The shutter release button is designed so that pressure can be applied i n two stages. When it is lightly touched, correct metering data is displayed on the left side of th e view finder.

As noted previously when the shutter re- lease button is touched slightly, the proper shutter speed will be indicated by a blinking LED.
The depth-of-field varies according to the aperture. The smaller the aperture (f/8, f /11 , f/16...) the greater the depth-of-field; the larger the aperture (f/8, f/5.
The exposure compensator functions in a number of important ways. It can be used to correct exposure values (EVs) or the differ- ences in brightness between a primary sub- ject and its background -especially when over or under-exposures occur.
The Mamiya 6 MF features an X synchro flash terminal and its lens shutter system permits flash synchronization at all shutter speeds. Shoe-mounted flas h units can be attached directly to the hot-shoe, while flash brackets can be attached to the tripod socket for larger flash guns.
If the batteries have been deplete d - espe- cially when the power on-off lever has been set to the OFF position during long expo- sures (at "B" ; 4 seconds or 2 seconds ) - the winding-stop prevents the film from being wound.
