OPERATING MANUAL
Welcome to the Fantastic World of Pentax
Autofocus Multi-Mode Medium Format
Photography
The Pentax 645N
2
, our latest development in the
area of the medium format SLR, promises a
superior 6 x 4.5cm result with 120, 220, or
70mm film.
Made possible through our vast experience and
technology accumulated over the years, the
new autofocus multi-mode 645N
2
assures pin-
sharp focus accuracy with AF Spot and AF Wide
selection, and the 6-segment multi-pattern
metering allows precise exposure control under
widely varying conditions. Unsurpassed versa-
tility is assured through the utilizing of a full
range of exposure modes (Programmed AE,
Aperture-Priority AE and Shutter-Priority AE,
Metered Manual and TTL auto flash control), an
exposure compensation control and auto-brack-
eting mode and a new user-set Pentax Function
to customize the 645N
2
to meet the for user’s
shooting preferences.
Lenses and accessories produced by other manu-
facturers are not made to our precise specifications
and therefore may cause difficulties with or actual
damage to your Pentax camera. We do not assume
any responsibility or liability for difficulties resulting
from the use of lenses and accessories made by
other manufacturers.
With a 645 A- or FA lens attached, the 645N
2
imprints relevant information (frame number,
shutter speed, aperture setting, exposure con-
trol and auto-bracketing mode.
The Pentax 645N

FOR SAFE USE OF YOUR CAMERA
6
Although we have carefully designed this camera for safe operation, please be sure to follow precautions
given on this page.
WARNING This mark indicates precautions that, if not followed, could result in
serious injury to the operator.
CAUTION This mark indicates precautions that, if not followed, could result in
minor or medium injury to the operator or damage to the equipment.
WARNING
Wrapping the strap around your neck is dangerous.
Make sure that small children do not get the strap
caught around their neck.
Do not look directly at the sun through the camera, as
viewing the sun for an extended period may damage
your eyes.
CAUTION
Never try to disassemble, short or recharge the bat-
tery. Also, do not dispose of the battery in fire, as it
may explode.
Remove the batteries from the camera immediately if
they become hot or begin to smoke. Be careful not to
burn yourself during removal.
PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR CAMERA 7
Your Pentax camera is a high-precision mecha-
nism. Handle it with great care.
Precautions when taking pictures
Do not use the camera where it may come in contact
with rain, water, or any other liquid, because the cam-
era is not weather, water, or liquid resistant. Should
the camera get wet from rain, splashing water, or any
other liquid wipe it off immediately with a dry soft cloth.
Do not drop the camera or allow it to hit solid objects.
If the camera suffers a shock or impact, take it to a
Pentax service center for inspection.
Be careful not to subject the camera to strong vibra-
tions, shock or pressure. Use a cushion to protect the
camera when carrying it in a motorcycle, car, boat,
etc.
Condensation on the interior or exterior of the camera
may be extremely harmful to the camera mechanism
as it may cause rust. Furthermore, if the camera is
taken from warm temperature to a subfreezing one or
vice versa, the formation of ice crystals may cause
damage. In such a case, put the camera into a case
or plastic bag so that any changes in temperature dif-
ference is minimized. Do not remove it from the bag
until temperature has stabilized.
Regular size color prints may cut off what appears on
the extreme edges of the film frame. Compose your
picture with a margin of safety at the edges.
Precautions for storage
Avoid leaving the camera for extended periods in
places where the humidity and temperature are very
high, such as in a car.
Do not store the camera in a closet with mothballs or
in an area where chemicals are handled. Store it in a
place with good dry air circulation to prevent the
growth of fungus.
Precautions for proper care
Never touch the shutter curtain or mirror with your fin-
ger or any other object.
Use a blower and lens brush to remove dust accumu-
lated on the lens or viewfinder.
Never use solvents such as paint thinner, alcohol or
benzene to clean the camera.
Electrical problems may often be caused by water, dirt
or dust at points of electrical contact. Also check for
battery leakage, traces of dirt or grease, or corrosion
due to salinity or gas. If you cannot correct the prob-
lems, have your camera inspected at a Pentax service
center. Repairs of this nature are not covered under
the terms of the warranty and charges may be
assessed.
8
Other precautions
The temperature range at which this camera func-
tions properly is 50°C to -10 C (122 F to 14° ° °F).
A camera which has been submerged in water usu-
ally cannot be repaired. If such an accident should
occur, it is advisable to contact a Pentax Service
Center immediately.
To maintain optimum performance, it is recom-
mended that the camera be inspected every one or
two years. If the camera has not been used for an
extended period, or is being prepared for an impor-
tant photographic session, it is recommended that
you have the camera inspected or test shoot with it.

USING THE MULTI(6)-SEGMENT METERING MODE
31
BASIC OPERATION (SHOOTING)
In the multi(6)-segment metering mode, the meter-
ing system automatically measures light in six dif-
ferent zones, enabling proper exposure value in a
wide variety of normal and adverse lighting condi-
tions.
Set the metering mode switch to [ ].
The center-weighted metering mode and spot
metering mode are also available in this camera.
See page 55 and 56 for more details.
When the Adapter 645 for 67 lens or Helicoid
Extension Tube 645 attached, the center-weighted
metering mode is automatically set even if you
select the multi-segment metering mode. The
multi-segment mode cannot be used.
MULTI(6)-SEGMENT METERING
This camera incorporates a high-precision six-segment
TTL metering system. Light values are measured in six
segments within the image field, enabling an optimal
exposure to be made under a variety of lighting condi-
tions. With conventional averaged metering systems,
underexposure of the subject results from the brightness
of the background affecting the overall metering. With
multi(6)-segment metering, the camera records the bright-
ness in six zones within the image field and uses these
measurements to choose an exposure that will not under-
exposed the subject. The multi(6)-segment metering sys-
tem also calculates exposure values for a scene to auto-
matically compensate for high-contrast and other difficult
lighting conditions. Even a beginner can achieve excellent
results with ease.
USING AUTOFOCUS MODE
32
BASIC OPERATION (SHOOTING)
With the Pentax 645 FA lens attached, the lens
automatically focuses when you press the shutter
release button halfway down.
Set the lens in the autofocus mode.
Switching between the autofous mode and manu-
al focus mode depends on the lens you use. For
more details, read the operating manual of the
lens.
The camera does not provide the switch for
switching between the autofous mode and manu-
al mode.
MF AF
HOLDING THE CAMERA 35
BASIC OPERATION (SHOOTING)
For best results, be sure to hold the camera correctly
as shown in the illustrations.
Hold the camera firmly, with your left hand supporting the
camera and lens as shown in the illustrations. While tak-
ing a picture, hold your breath and gently depress the
shutter release button. (Sudden force on the shutter
release button will cause camera shake, making the pic-
ture blurred.)
To reduce camera shake, support your body or the cam-
era on a solid object - a table, tree, or a wall for instance.
Although there are individual differences among photog-
raphers, in general the shutter speed for a hand held
camera is the inverse of the focal length. For example,
1/75 of second when the focal length is 75mm, and
1/150 of second when it is 150mm. A tripod should be
used for shutter speeds slower than this.
When using an ultra-telephoto lens, a tripod that is heav-
ier than the total weight of the camera and lens is rec-
ommended to avoid camera shake.
This camera has provided two tripod sockets for vertical
and horizontal format positions.
When the tripod is used, use of an optional Cable SW
CS-105/CS-130 or Cable Release is also recommend-
ed.
Camera held horizontally Camera held vertically
37
The shutter cannot be released if the subject is out
of focus.
The film counter indication advances each time
the shutter is released.
Depress the shutter release button halfway down.
While [ ] is on, the camera-to-subject distance
is fixed (focus lock). To refocus on another sub-
ject, lift your finger off the shutter release button.
If the drive mode switch is set to the Consecutive-
Frame Mode with the Single AF Mode set, the
camera focuses only the first picture. From the
second picture, the pictures are taken consecu-
tively with the focus locked at the first picture.

USING AE LOCK 57
ADVANCED OPERATIONS
The AE lock function enables an exposure level to
be memorized before shooting. The AE lock func-
tion is very effective when used along with spot
metering. Use the AE lock function to get a correct
exposure when the subject occupies only a small
part of the viewfinder.
Position the area to be measured in the spot
metering area and press the AE lock button. The
exposure level is memorized and [ ] is dis-
played in the viewfinder.
• As soon as the AE lock button [ AE-L ] is pressed,
and the camera stores the measured exposure
level for 20 seconds. The AE lock function remains
while the AE lock button is depressed.
• If the shutter release button is depressed halfway
down while the AE lock timer is operating, the
memorized meter reading will remain even if the
AE lock button is released.
• The AE lock function cannot be used when the
camera is set in the Metered Manual Mode.
How to cancel
To cancel the AE lock function, press the AE lock
button again.
SETTING THE FOCUS MODE SWITCH TO THE CONTINUOUS POSITION
58
ADVANCED OPERATIONS
If the shutter release button is held at the halfway
position, the lens focuses continuously to follow the
subject. The shutter can be released even if the
subject is out of focus.
Set the focus mode switch to [ C ].
Predictive Autofocus Mode
When the camera senses subject movement during
the autofocus operation, the camera will automati-
cally switch the focus mode to the predictive auto-
focus mode to measure the speed of a moving sub-
ject, and predict where it will be at the moment of
shutter release to maintain sharp focus on the sub-
ject. If the subject is moving too fast, the shutter
may not be released.
62
• The camera is not equipped with the focus mode
selector.
• When the subject comes into focus, the focus indi-
cator [ ] lights up in the viewfinder. An audible
PCV signal can be heard if the main switch is set
to the [ ] position.
When the autofocus mode or the in-focus indi-
cator is unsuited for focusing
When the autofocus function or the viewfinder s in-
focus indicator [ ] cannot be used when the sub-
ject on the AF frame is difficult to autofocus. Focus
the subject in the manual focus mode with the aid
of the matte field in the viewfinder as you would with
a non-AF SLR camera.
Notes on Accessories
The following conditions do not allow autofocusing
or manual focusing with the in-focus indicator in the
viewfinder. Use the manual focus mode to focus on
the subject with the aid of the matte field surround-
ing the autofocus frame. See page 58 for manual
