· Film drive speed: Continuous automatic film drive at maximum speed of 2 frames
per second (shutter speed setting from 1/1000 to 1/60 sec.). At slow shutter
speed settings, the film drive system is activated only upon completion of
exposure. (Single frame film drive feasible by controlling fingertip pressure on
magnetic release button.)
· Power source: 6 AA size batteries (preferably alkaline cells). Battery case
provided for easy battery installation.
·Functional check: If motor activates and test lamp comes on when test button is
depressed, it means the winder is functioning properly. The same procedure is
employed for battery power checking.
·Battery life: Up to 20 cassettes of 36 exposure load film per replacement of
manganese batteries; up to 50 cassettes of 36 exposure load film per replacement
of alkaline cells.
·Other features: Film end display (test lamp doubling as film end display comes
on when full length of film has been exposed); camera's exposure counter used
for registering count of exposures; film rewind release lever for manual film
rewind without removing winder from camera body; release socket; interval timer
socket; tripod socket.
·Size and weight: 142.5 x 50 x 38.5 mm; 290 grams w/o batteries.
DESCRIPTION OF PARTS
HOW TO MOUNT THE WINDER
 |
TThe Yashica Winder can be attached to the camera base directly. When mounting
it, make sure the ON/OFF Switch is set at "OFF".
|
BATTERY INSTALLATION
 |
Always use six AA size batteries, preferably alkaline cell Is.
|
FUNCTION CHECK
 |
After installing the battery and giving the film advance lever a full wind,
set the ON/OFF switch at "ON" and check whether the film winder will function
properly or not.
|
|
·If functional check is carried out prior to film advance, one frame will be
wound up.
|
 |
|
|
Film Loading
|
 |
BBefore loading the film into the camera, take a couple of blank shots to
determine whether the Yashica Winder is functioning properly or not.
|
USE OF TRIPOD/CABLE SWITCH
|
·A tripod socket is provided on the base of the film winder. When using a
telephoto lens or shooting at a slow shutter speed, make it a rule to mount the
camera on a tripod.
·To prevent erratic movement of the camera at the critical moment of exposure or to make exposures by positioning yourself at some distance away from the camera, plug the cable switch into the release socket on the camera body. Exposure will be made and the film advance will operate continuously and automatically as long as you keep the pushbutton end of the cable switch depressed.
|
 |
| BBy using the Contax Interval Timer in
concert with the Yashica Winder, a series of exposures can be made
automatically at an interval ranging from 1 sec. to 120 sec. This
combination is particularly effective in flora and fauna studies,
surveillance photography and other specialized purposes.
DESCRIPTION OF PARTS 1. Interval Scale |
 |
|
··Interval settings 1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 30, 60 and 120 sec. in 8 clickstop
settings
|
 |
OPERATING STEPS
 |
TThe Contax Interval Timer is used by
plugging into the sockets of the Yashica Winder. Before shooting the series
of photos with the aid of the Contax Interval Timer, take a couple of blank
shots to determine whether the interval timer and film winder systems
function properly. If the test lamp of the film winder comes on each time
after the film is advanced, it means that the systems are functioning
properly.
|
 |
1. Before mounting, make sure the ON/OFF switch of the winder and that of the
interval timer is set at "OFF".
|
| 3. Set the ON/OFF switch of the film winder at "ON". Turn the interval selector of the Contax Interval Timer and align the required interval setting with the "SEC" index. Always see to it that the selector is set properly at the clickstop setting. The timer will not function properly when adjusted to an in-between setting. br> |
 |
|
5. Check the exposure, compose your picture, secure precise focus and then
set the ON/OFF switch of the Contax Interval Timer at "ON".
|
 |
| ·By resetting the ON/OFF switch of the Contax Interval Timer to "OFF", you can immediately resume normal film-winder-assisted photography. |
 |
HOW TO USE THE CONTAX INFRARED CONTROLLER SET
 |
The Contax Infrared Controller Set is a
remote controller unit which trips the shutter through emission of infrared
ray pulse. When used in concert with the Yashica Winder, it provides a wide
scope of use.
|
 |
Description of Parts A. Transmitter (1) Pulse emitter (2) Pushbutton Switch (3) Battery Compartment Cover B. Receiver (4) Connector Cord |
Note To install the battery, open the battery compartment cover and place the
battery in the battery compartment by properly matching its polarity with the
battery contacts.
·Effective range Up to 15 meters
·Power Source Receiver unit operates on power from the camera
battery; transmitter unit uses one 9 V 006P battery (Eveready 222, Ucar 222,
Mallory 1604 or equivalent)
·Method of mounting Receiver unit clips on the camera's
accessory shoe and its connector cord must be plugged into the release socket
·Directionality of transmitter unit 43° at 5 m; 20° at 8 m; 6°

(when used in concert with the
Yashica Winder)
Before loading the film into your camera, take a couple of blank shots to determine whether the Contax Infrared Controller will function properly or not. |
 |
1. Make sure the ON/OFF switch of the film winder unit is set at "OFF".
|
 |
3. Plug the connector cord of the receiver unit properly into the release socket of your camera. |
4. After checking the exposure,
composing your picture and securing precise focus, set the ON/OFF switch of
your Yashica Winder at "ON".
5. Position yourself some distance away from your camera and, while pointing the pulse emitter of the transmitter unit toward the sensor of the receiver unit, press the pushbutton switch. This will automatically trip the shutter and the winder unit will automatically advance the exposed frame. |
 |
|
·When the Contax Infrared Controller is in use, the winder will advance the
film single frame at a time.
·Make sure the pulse emitter is directed at the sensor of the receiver unit
and not at the camera itself. (See illustrations.)
·To prevent battery power drain, avoid keeping the pushbutton depressed over any length of time. |
 |
The receiver unit can be rotated through 360 degrees while mounted on the
camera's accessory shoe. Position it properly according to your requirement. For
best results, make sure the pulse emitter of the transmitter unit is precisely
aligned with the sensing axis of the receiver.
·When shooting with the aid of the Contax Interval Timer or Infrared Controller
set, make it a rule to set your camera on a tripod.
·The Contax Infrared Controller may sometimes activate when it receives infrared
ray from sources other than the transmitter unit. Avoid triggering an electronic
flash unit or using a gas lighter close to the receiver unit.
·Like all battery-operated units, remove the battery (or batteries) when the
Yashica Winder, or Contax Infrared Controller Set is to be left unused for any
great length of time. Replace batteries when required.
·When installing battery (or batteries), make it a habit to wipe the contacts
with a clean, dry cloth. Oily smears on the contacts may cause poor electrical
contact.
·To prevent hazards, avoid throwing used batteries in open fire or dismantling
them.
