BELLOWS
We appreciate very much that you have acquired
en Auto Bellows, a center of the versatile extension
system for close-up end macrophotography..

units of the OM System in a wide range of applica-
tions for almost every kind of macrophotographic
work from the most basic to the most demanding
and complex, To make Your close-ups and macro-
Photographs a totally creative and enjoyable art,

Mount the Auto Bellows on a stable sup-
port such as a tripod, copy stand, macro-
photo stand, etc.
Either of the two sockets
located on the underside
of the focusing tripod
block can be used for
mounting. To select the
more suitable socket,
however, it is recom-
mended to take into con-
sideration the weight of
the camera and lens,
bellows length, etc.
Attach the camera body mount to the
camera body.
Aligning red dots, attach
‘the mount to the camera,
and rotate the mount
until it stops with a
positive click. To detach,
press the head of camara
body release lever, and
reverse the mount. j
* The camera body should
be attached to the bellows betore film load-
ing, because the double cable release roquires
shutter release adjustment without film. Ae
Mount the Lens,
Aligning red dots, turn the lens clockwise in the
same manner as normal lens mounting on the
camera,
To mount the Macro 20mm or 38mm lens
on the Auto Bellows, the Objective Lens
Mount PM-MTob is necessary.
First attach the lens mount PM-MTob (optionally
available) to the Bellows, then mount the lens. FOCUSING
After assemblying the Auto Bellows as shown
above, detarmine the distance between the lens @
and body @, thon adjust
the lens/subject distance
with the focusing knob
until the subject is
turn any
knob while it is clamped.
Unlock any knob to be
re-adjusted,
"It Is recommended to select a focusing screen
(optionally available), most suitable for bright
image viewing and easy focusing in accordance
with the image magnification as desired,
(1) If the image is too large as you look through
the viewfinder, compress the distance between
the lens and camera
(2) If the image is too small, extend the distance
between the lens and camera.
*You can achiove focus adjustment easier by
the movernent of the camera body with the
lens abutting the front rail screw.
(3) Once the focus is correctly adjusted, clamp
the assembly, USING THE SCALE
EXPOSURE ON THE TTL DIRECT
AUTO (OTF) MODE (OM-2)
Set the lens mount board to the front rail
screw,
Determine the bellows length on the rail by read-
ing the location of the camera body mount board
against the mm scale.
For example, if you set the 50mm F1.8 at the
end of the rail in normal position (not reversed),
and the camera body mount board at 85mm on
the scale, and the lens to subject distance at 7em,
you can’ obtain a magnification 1X from the
close-up table. (See p.17-18.)
* See the close-up tables for various lenses at
p.17 and following.
* Set the focusing ring at =.
By turning the preset lever into the vei
position, you can check the depth of
at the lens working
aperture,
If you set the preset lever
in this position before the
shutter release (with a
single cable release), the
double cable release isnot
needed, (The camera
should be set on AUTO.)
* Although any lens aperture can be used in TTL
Direct Auto, FO or higher ions aporture is
recommended. CONNECTING THE DOUBLE CABLE RELEASE
Connect the longer needle to the bellows’ shutter
release socket, and the shorter needle to the
camera's shutter release button.
To test the stop-down movement, release the
shutter repeatedly until proper operation is
assured in the following steps:
(First ascertain that the selector lever of the OM-
2s set to "MANUAL", then proceed to the steps
below for either OM-1 or OM-2.)
1) Set the camera shutter speed ring to the “B””
(bulb) position.
Set the lens aperture ring to the minimum
aperture.
Open the camera back.
Release the shutter slowly by pressing the
plunger of the double cable release.
2)
3)
4)
5) Look at the diaphragm blades of the lens
from backward the camera. As the shutter
opens, the diaphragm blades should close to
the preselected aperture.
6) Apply additional pressure to the plunger. If
the diaphragm blades continue to close, make
the needle in the bellows longer. Repeat this
test until no further movement of the blades
can be seen when the plunger is fully de-
Pressed,
* For long time exposures, set the shutter speed
ring at “B”, and lock the plunger in the de
pressed position by tightening the clamping ADJUSTMENT OF THE DOUBLE CABLE RELEASE
Time screw
With the double cable release you can synchro-
nize the bellows’ stop-down movement with the
camera shutter, In order to fully stop down the
lens before the shutter is releasad, the cable ne
dles must be adjusted correctly ‘for synchroni-
zation

Before connecting this cable to the bellows and

DUPLICATION

Use a slide copier (optionally available) for
duplication.
Move the front of the lens mount board to the
‘orange/white mark on the rail.
Line up the rear of the camera mount board with
the 1X mark on the rail for duplicating a 35mm
film from a 35mm slide, or with the 1.5X mark
for duplicating a 35mm film from a half size slide.
* Use the white indication marks for the 50mm
Jens and the orange indication marks for the
Bomm lens. LIGHTING
The OM System lighting set is recommend-
ed to illuminate the subject.
It is essential to select optimum lighting as bright
as possible for macrophotography with the Auto
Bellows, because a wide range of exposures can
be afforded for accurate focus with ease.

bo CLOSE-UP TABLES
See the following close-up tables for use of the
various macro lenses mounted on the Auto
Bellows in the normal position.
Notes on some terms used in the tables
© Magnification
The magnifica
subject size.
¢ Exposure factor
For macrophotography with flash lighting in con-
junction with the OM-1 and OM-2 on MANUAL
mode, you must calculate an exposure factor to
compensate for any loss of light due to close-up
exposure greater than normal, because the higher
‘the magnification, the larger ‘the lens extension,
and the intensity of the light that falls on the
film decreases, which must be compensated for
by the increase of the exposure.
‘An exposure factor canbe obtained in the follow:
ing equation:
Exposure factor = (1+ Magnification)?
where, if the magnification 1:1, an exposure
factor is 4 and therefore, in order to prevent
underexposure macrophotographs, the exposure
must be increased by 4 times (2 stops).
For instance, an electronic flash NG16 is used at
a distance of 1m from the subject, the lens aper-
ture is F16. If the camera is brought nearer the
subject, leaving the flash in the original position,
until the magnification becomes 1:1, the lens
aperture must be opened by 2 stops up to F8.
