The following may be used as a guide to determine the lens F stop when
you are using the camera in the automatic mode.
Your CHINON CE-5 camera employs an aperture readout feature which is
visible in the viewfinder (Fig. 29). This information is helpful to the
photographer in determining depth of field in relationship to the aperture
without having to take the camera away from the eye. Now with the full
information viewfinder of the CE-5, the photographer not only knows the
shutter speed selected by the built-in computerized exposure system, but
also knows the aperture being selected. [Mike: this is done with a mirror
above the lens aperture, you must have bright light to see the reflection]

CHINON POWER WINDER (PW-535).
Your CHINON CE-5 is equipped with a CHINON bayonet mount which accepts
all interchangeable lenses with the bayonet mount. To attach the lens,
match the red dot on the camera body with the red dot on the lens (Fig.
1). Then insert the lens into the camera body and turn it clockwise until
the lens locks with a click. To remove the lens from the camera body, depress
and hold the lens lock release lever on the camera body, turn the lens
counterclockwise as far as it will go, and lift it up from the body (Fig.
2).
Using a coin, unlock the battery chamber cover by turning it counterclockwise.
Place two 1 .5V Alkaline batteries (SR-44, A-76) or equivalent (G-13, LR-44,
MS-76) in the battery chamber with the negative (-) side facing downwards,
or contacting the battery cap since the camera is now upside down for this
installation (Fig. 3). Carefully insert the batteries into the camera body. Replace
and tighten the cover securely by turning it clockwise (Fig. 4). NOTE:
Clean the batteries with a dry cloth or paper before inserting and thereafter
at regular intervals. Make sure that the batteries are inserted correctly,
i.e., check polarity. The shutter will operate only when batteries are
correctly installed and not exhausted.
Your CHINON CE-5 camera has a convenient spare battery storage compartment.
You may store one set (2 pcs) of spare batteries in the storage compartment.
To remove the body grip turn the screw on the bottom of the body grip counterclockwise
until it stops and remove the body grip from the body (Fig. 5). Insert
the batteries separately into the holes provided on the grip. Replace and
tighten the body grip by turning it clockwise . To remove the batteries
from the compartment, pull out on the battery holding lever (Fig. 6).
Set the shutter speed dial to any shutter speed setting (except "B"
and "OFF" position) (Fig. 7), and while looking at the shutter speed indicator
scale in the viewfinder, slightly depress the shutter release button. If
the batteries are in good condition (battery potential is high enough),
at least one of LED indicators (except the top two LED's) will light up.
(Fig. 8) If a LED fails to illuminate, the batteries are too weak and need
to be replaced, they are incorrectly inserted, or the shutter speed dial
is set in "OFF" or "B".
Pull out the film rewind knob until the camera back pops open (Fig.
9). Then drop a film cartridge into the film chamber with its protruding
end facing the bottom of the camera (Fig. 10). Push in the film rewind
knob and slightly turn the knob in either direction until it catches the
film cartridge spool. Insert the trimmed end of the film into a slot of
the multi-slotted take-up spool.www.4.butkus.org
Turn the shutter speed selector to any setting except "AUTO" or "OFF"
and advance the film while holding the film lightly down on to the transport
sprockets. Release the shutter if necessary and advance the film until
the sprockets engage with the upper and lower perforations of the film
(Fig. 11). Then close the camera back firmly until it locks with a click.
Now turn the film rewind knob gently until all the slack is taken up and
the rewind knob stops.
Advance the film and release the shutter three times (Fig. 13). The
rewind knob should rotate counterclockwise as the film is advanced and
the "1 " marking should appear in the frame counter window (Fig. 14).
Turn the shutter speed dial to the "AUTO" position (Fig. 15). A convenient
memo holder is provided on the back of your camera. Whenever you load new
film, just cut off the top of the film box and put it in the memo holder
as a reminder. (Fig. 1 6).
Your CHINON CE-5 is equipped with a frame counter which displays the
number of exposures made and resets automatically upon opening the camera
back.
When the film end is reached the film advance lever may stop before
the lever is fully turned. Do not force the lever. Stop winding at once
and rewind the film. Refer to "UNLOADING EXPOSED FILM."
The film speed dial located on top of the camera is coupled directly
to the internal exposure control circuitry and the correct exposure factor
for the film is automatically set by aligning the ASA number of the film
you are using with the index mark on the camera body (Fig. 18). The ASA
number of the film is printed on the film box or in the instruction sheet
packed with the film. Pull out the film speed dial and turn the dial to
align the appropriate ASA number with the green index mark. Be sure to
check the ASA number whenever you put new film into the camera.www.4.butkus.org
At the center of the viewfinder is the split image with microprism
collar which is then surrounded by ground glass. When the camera is in
focus, the image on these focusing aids becomes sharpest.
While observing the subject through the viewfinder, turn the lens focus
ring until the upper and lower split images match up to form a uniform
image (Fig. 19). This split image focusing is particularly helpful when
the subject is dominated by vertical lines. The microprism is also very
helpful. When it is out of focus, the image on the microprism will be composed
of a collection of asterisks (Fig. 20). These sparkling asterisks will
disappear when the focus is properly set. You can double check the focus
setting by the image on the ground glass.
You can also focus indirectly. Actually measure or estimate
the distance to the subject and set the lens focus ring to the appropriate
setting (Fig. 21).
Your CHINON CE-5 has built-in AF electronic contacts which activate
CHINON 35 - 70mm Auto Focus Lens by depressing the shutter release button
of the camera or the Auto Focus Button on the auto focus lens unit. To
activate the AF system, operate the film advance lever, look through the
viewfinder, center the subject by utilizing the split image with microprism
collar in the viewfinder,
[Webmaster: the auto focus lens described are very rare and hard to
find]
Your CHINON CE-5 features TTL, center weighted full aperture light
measuring automatic exposure control. As long as the shutter speed dial
is set in "AUTO" you don't have to worry about the exposure factor (Fig.
24). The sensitive and accurate internal circuitry will compute the correct
exposure for the photographic condition and control the shutter speeds
steplessly
from a 4 sec. time exposure to a fast 1/2000 sec. When the shutter release
button is depressed halfway, the exposure control circuit is energized
and will be in the monitoring stage (Fig. 25).
You can see the computerized shutter speed displayed in the viewfinder
by red, yellow and green LED's (Fig. 26). If the lens F stop or the aperture
size is too large for the lighting condition, the red over exposure indicator
(third from the top of the scale) will glow (Fig. 27). when this happens,
stop down the lens diaphragm by turning the lens F stop ring or use a film
with a lower ASA number. Another alternative is to use an ND (neutral density)
filter in front of the lens. They are available as accessories from your
local dealer. If the displayed speed is 1/30 or slower (Yellow LED's),
use of a tripod is recommended, or you can
I increase the shutter speed by opening the lens diaphragm. Use of
a flash unit is also suggested (refer to "CHINON Dedicated Flash System").
If the computed shutter speed is even longer than 4 sec. (semi darkness
condition), the under exposure indicator (Red LED) at the bottom of the
scale will light up when the available light is less than -1 EV (Fig. 28).

Your CHINON CE-5 features a two stage electromagnetic shutter release
with safety lock. When the shutter release button is depressed half way,
the electronic circuit starts functioning. When the button is fully depressed,
it will trigger the shutter. Always hold the camera steady and gently depress
the shutter release button to make an exposure. The position marked "OFF"
on the shutter speed dial is the shutter release safety lock position.
When this is aligned with the index mark, the batteries are disconnected
from the circuit and exposure cannot be made (Fig. 30). This position is
also used when the camera is not to be used for a long time.
When the film in the camera is fully exposed, the film advance lever
will stop. Do not attempt to force the lever any further, but rewind the
film and replace with a new one. Push in the rewind lock release button
at the bottom of the camera (Fig. 31). Unfold the rewind crank of the rewind
knob (Fig. 32). Turn the rewind crank clockwise. You will feel friction
as the film is rewound. Suddenly, when the film is rewound completely,
the friction decreases and the rewind crank will turn with ease. Then pull
out the rewind knob to open the camera back (Fig. 33).
When the camera back is opened, the frame counter will automatically
reset to "S". The rewind lock release button on the bottom of the camera
will pop out upon the next advancement of the film advance lever. Your
exposed film should be processed without delay.
Depth of field designates the nearest and furthest limits of the area
that will be sharp in the picture in front of and beyond the subject. Depth
of field is controlled by the f/stop. The larger the lens opening (f/stop),
the shallower is the depth of field. The smaller the lens opening, the
greater the depth of field will become (Fig. 34 and 35).
Visible Check in the Viewfinder Set the lens at a selected lens opening
on the f/stop ring. Depress the depth of field lever and observe the subject
through the viewfinder. This will enable you to preview the area of sharpness
in the picture before shooting. (Fig. 36)
The depth of field scale indicates (after focusing) the approximate
area that will be sharp in the picture. Locate on the depth of field scale
the corresponding pair of f/stop figures. The distance between these two
f/ stop figures on the focusing ring will be the area of sharpness in your
picture (Fig. 37). NOTE: Do not depress the shutter release button while
depressing the depth of field lever.
The tripod socket at the base of the CHINON camera is designed to accept
standard tripod threads having a depth no greater than 5.5 mm (0.22 inch).
To prevent any possibility of damage to the camera's internal mechanism,
DO NOT use tripods with longer mounting screws and always avoid over tightening.www.4.butkus.org
Your CHINON CE-5 is equipped with a two stage electronic self timer
with a red LED indicator together with a piezo ceramic buzzer (audible
signal). The built-in self timer electronically delays the shutter release
for 5 or 10 seconds. First select the desired delay' by rotating the self
timer dial (Fig. 38). The camera should be mounted on a firm support during
self timer operation. Now to activate the system simply depress the shutter
release button. You will notice the red self timer LED blinking with the
piezo ceramic buzzer (audible signal) and two seconds before the shutter
release the flashing frequency will increase giving you or your audience
time to smile. The self timer may also be utilized for releasing the shutter
at low shutter speeds when a cable release is not available. If you decided
not to use the self timer or to change the delay time, you" can cancel
or rest the timer even after the function is indicated. Just return the
dial to normal position for cancellation and reset the time again
NOTE: Change of delay time can only be made after cancellation.
By moving the shutter speed
Set the shutter speed dial to the "B" position. The shutter mirror
will reflex to the open (up) position while the shutter release button
is depressed. Use of a cable release and a tripod is recommended for stability
to prevent vibration during time exposures. (Fig. 41 )
Another attractive feature of your CHINON CE-5 is the built-in unlimited
multiple exposure provision. The multiple exposure lever is located in
front of the film advance lever (Fig. 42). When you activate the film advance
lever simply press and hold the multiple exposure lever to the left. This
lever should be held throughout the film advancement. By doing so the film
advance mechanism and the film counter will be disengaged. Only the shutter
will be charged when the film advance lever is activated. Therefore, the
film will not advance and you can make unlimited multiple exposures on
any single frame. NOTE: You can make multiple exposures as many times as
you wish. However, each time the multiple exposure lever must be held before
and throughout the film advancement.
Under normal circumstances your CHINON CE-5 camera will produce perfectly
exposed photographs, due to the integrated automatic exposure circuit.
However, some lighting conditions might occur that could misguide the system,
such as subjects with a very high contrast or strongly back-lit scenes.
In such cases the exposure memory feature should be used.
2. Depress the shutter release button half way and measure the light
on the main part of the subject you want to shoot excluding all unnecessary
light from the side or background (Fig. 44). Then press the exposure memory
button once which will instantly memorize the light value of
the subject (Fig. 45). Once the button is depressed, there is no need to
hold the exposure memory button further as long as the shutter release
button is depressed halfway.
Your CHINON CE-5 camera incorporates an exposure compensation dial
which can be utilized for special purposes such as bracketing exposure,
compensation for back-lit or spot-lit situations. If you would prefer darker
or brighter pictures than those obtained by the automatic exposure, this
feature is very helpful. You can change the exposure factor up to one full
stop either plus or minus in 1/3 EV increments. Pull out and turn the Fill
speed dial to the desired position (Fig. 47). NOTE: After exposures have
been made, be sure to return the dial to the normal exposure position.
(2) - 2/3EV over
(3) - 1 /3EV over
(4) -Normal exposure

(6) - 2/3EV under
(7) -1 EV under
Specially designed and developed automatic flash units are available
for your CHINON CE-5 as accessories. This highly advanced dedicated flash
system permits carefree flash photography. You no longer have to alter
the shutter speed dial from any position since the flash is integrated
electronically with the camera body. Set the f/stop indicated on the exposure
calculator dial of your CHINON flash to the corresponding aperture ring
on the lens. A few seconds after your CHINON flash is turned to ON position
the flash ready-light will illuminate. CHINON CE-5 has a special viewfinder
ready light system which is electronically coupled to the auto flash. When
the flash has reached adequate power, the viewfinder 1/60 sec. shutter
speed and the flash ready indicator (green and red LED's) will glow signaling
the camera flash are ready to operate (Fig. 48).
After the picture has been taken and before the flash has recycled,
the camera will automatically switch to the automatic or manual mode until
the flash has once again recycled. In this case, your flash must be set
to the "AUTO" position.
Other electronic flash can be utilized with your CHINON CE-5 camera.
However, if they do not incorporate a built-in hot shoe, a P.C. cord must
be connected to the "X" synchronization terminal on your CE-5 for proper
flash synchronization. Also the shutter speed dial must be set to 1/60
sec. flash synchronization position (Fig. 49 and 50).
(PW-535) Your CHINON CE-5 compact single lens reflex camera can also
be used with the new CHINON Power Winder when motorized photography is
desired. This sophisticated accessory enhances the versatility of your
new camera and opens up new horizons for creative photography. The Power
Winder, designed with latest electronic technology, employs a special computer
"memory" chip which monitors key functions essential to motorized photography
(Fig. 51 ). When using a CHINON Auto Focus lens with the Power Winder the
shutter will not be released until the lens is in focus. You may utilize
a specially designed remote control unit which permits full automatic remote
control operation from 40M (132 ft.) away from the camera. (Fig. 52) NOTE:
To attach a CHINON Power Winder to the camera body, the body grip has to
be removed from the camera body.
Focuses even in total darkness. Stepless operation even from 1M
to infinity. Aperture range from F 1.7 to F 22. Audible signal beeps
when subject is in focus.

Your CHINON CE-5 camera will accept Infra-red film. To use Infra-red
film an extra focusing adjustment must be made. After focusing note the
figure that is adjacent to the red diamond on the distance scale (Fig.
53) then move that figure over to the infra-red mark engraved on the lens.
This adjustment is only required for black and white infra-red film. When
using color infra-red film, focus in the normal way. NOTE: Read the instructions
packed with the infra-red film for further information.
Place the end of the shoulder strap through the retaining ring connected
to the camera body lug. Fold the shoulder strap over the retaining ring.
Place the ends of the strap through the plastic retainer and strap buckle.
Pull tight to secure. Follow the same procedure for the other side of the
camera. To secure the camera case to the camera body, place the retaining
strap behind and around the neck strap lug and then snap the retaining
strap into place securely.
