o Konica X-24 Automatic Electronic Flash
 |
When mounted stop the Konica FC-1 camera, you only set the automatic distance control (green f5.6 or red f11). When the X-24 is turned on and reaches 95% of flash power, it automatically signals the Konica FC-1 camera to change shutter speed to a fast 1/100th second, to change the lens aperture to f5.6 or f11 and displays a blinking LED signal in the viewfinder that the flash is ready. |
The film speed (ASA) is automatically set into the X-24 flash by the FC-1 CPU. There are no cables or cords to connect.

o Close-up Lens
This lens permits AE closeups simply by screwing it onto the front of the lens and mounting it in place. This makes close-up photographs of plants
and flowers as well as copies of documents and pictures easy work. This is a standard 40mm lens and it allows close-ups ranging from about 45cm
down to 27cm.
o Angle-Magnifinder
 |
This helpful gadget makes it possible
to look into the viewfinder from above the
camera and it comes in handy for when pictures
are to be taken at a low level such as in
copying, close-ups and micro-photography.
|
Furthermore, when the lever is rotated, the image in the center of the viewfinder is enlarged two-fold with the magnifying glass and so focusing can be performed very accurately for close-ups, copying, telephoto
photography and micro-photography.4.butkus.org
o Cable Switch
 |
When this switch is connected to the terminal of the camera, it is possible to trip the shutter by operating the hand-held switch. This switch is useful for bulb exposure and also close-ups, telephoto shots, and also helps cancel out camera shake when using slow shutter speeds. |
o Remote Control
Switch
 |
The cord is 5m in length. Operating the switch on your end of the cord, the shutter may be released at a lace away from the camera.
|
o Double Cable Switch
 |
The double cable release switch for the use of Auto Bellows with an automatic aperture makes it possible to use any Auto Bellows on the Konica FC-1.4.butkus.org |

o Konica Filters
It is advisable to use a UV or skylight filter for the protection of your camera's lens.
o Interval Timer
This device allows photographs to be taken repeatedly at fixed intervals of time. When it is mounted on the camera and the switch is turned on, the
shutter is repeatedly tripped at the pre-set time intervals. (Use with the Auto-Winder)
o Radio Control Set
This switch is made up of a receiver, which will be fitted to the
camera, and a transmitter, which will be used at your side. The electric wave
sent by the transmitter will be intercepted by the receiver making it possible
to operate the shutter with electric signals (Use with the Auto-Winder)
o Left Hand Release Switch
This unique device attaches to the accessory terminal of the Konica FC-1 allowing you to release the shutter with your left hand while focusing with
your right hand
Konica Hexanon Interchangeable Lenses
o 15mm Konica "Fisheye" Lens
The full frame coverage "fisheye" lens has a 180° angle of view and features a helical focusing mount that permits close up photography at 5cm (5,9")
from the front of the lens. This enables you to make full use of the optical exaggeration, distortion and special effects that are possible with this
excellent lens. Four filters--sky--R60--Y 52-- B8 are built into the 15mm fisheye, together with an integral lens shade.4.butkus.org
o 21mm/24mm Konica Extreme Wide Angle Lenses
Wide angle lenses are capable of photographing more of the scene than the standard lenses yet do not distort the vertical and horizontal lines to the
extent of the fisheye on extreme wide angles. Wide angle lenses are ideal for scenery and interior photography.
o 28mm/35mm Konica Wide Angle Lenses
Both these lenses have an angle of view which is very much greater than the standard lenses, and they enable pictures to be taken in a variety of
situations such as of crowds of people indoors or in restricted locations, The angle can be varied for the addition of a dynamic expression or natural
portraits and so these lenses are most commonly used for taking photographs of scenery. The 28mm f/1.8 lens is the brightest AE lens in the world,
and its built-in floating system (short distance aberration correction mechanism) allows close-ups down to 7cm (7.1") from the front of the lens. All in all, this is one of the most
sophisticated wide-angle lenses.
o Konica Standard Lenses
Closely match the field of view of the human eye. They are all purpose lenses with natural perspective. Since they are the "standard" lens, you benefit
from larger production runs with very high quality and a lower unit cost. The Hexanon 40mm f1.8 is an automatic lens for "standard" use. Its slightly
wider view is ideal for general photography being able to "take m" more of the scene than the standard optics. it is especially excellent in flash photography permitting you to get closer to the subject with better flash efficiency.
o Konica Telephoto Lenses
Magnify the subject and have the effect of bringing the subject in closer". The optical laws case telephoto lenses to "compress" distance and have
shallow depth-of-field which can be an advantage for sharp Images with soft focus backgrounds. The 85mm and 100mm telephoto lenses have a slight
telephoto effect and are ideal for portraiture without the compressed perspective.
o 400mm, 800mm, 1000mm Konica Ultra Telephoto Lenses
These lenses have even greater possibilities than the ordinary telephoto lenses and they display capabilities exceeding those of the naked eye with high
image magnification. This means that they are ideal for special applications involving news reporting, sports, wild animals which cannot be approached
but must be snapped from afar, and various types of observatory photographs. The 400mm lens features an extremely compact design for hand-held
photography. The 800mm lens features a manual aperture system. The 1000mm is a reflector mirror type of ultra telephoto lens and its construction
makes use of a mirror system and a diffraction system. For focusing, the bellows are extended or compressed.4.butkus.org
o 35~70mm, 45~100mm, 80~200mm Konica Zoom Lenses
Zoom lenses which allow the focal length to be varied continuously without intermittent steps are much handier to use that a range of single
interchangeable lenses. The 35~70mm lens is compactly designed with an angle of view most frequently used from wide-angle to quasi-telephoto
applications. The 45 ~ 1 00mm lens is compact with a collapsible barrel, and it is a variable focus lens which enables close-ups from 150cm down to
35cm. The 80~200mm lens is compactly designed and lightweight with an extremely high resolution. You'll understand just how valuable these zoom lenses can be to you once you try them out.
o Macro Lenses
Are specifically designed for close-up photography. Compensation for natural light fall-off at the corners, attention to uniform flat field sharpness and
reduction are prime features of Konica macro lenses.
The Konica Hexanon 55mm is an automatic macro lens which can be used for pictures from infinity to 1/2 life size. Using the adapter supplied, close-ups to exact life size (1:1) are possible. The 55mm macro also features an automatic aperture compensation system for proper exposure in close-up
photography with flash.4.butkus.org
o Konica Teleconverter AR 2X
The Konica Hexanon Teleconverter AR 2X is an attachment lens which is designed to double the focal length without changing the close-up taking
distance, when attached to the rear of a Hexanon AR or zoom Hexanon AR interchangeable lens, 40mm or over in focal length.
Multi-coated, this converter makes it possible to give full play to the performance of any Hexanon AR interchangeable lens and produce sharp images.
Ultra-telephoto and telephoto photography may be enjoyed, as the converter is coupled to the AS automatic exposure system of the Hexanon lens
mounted on your camera.4.butkus.org
