The instructions in this manual are applicable to all Pacemaker Graphic Cameras.
Speed Graphic Model FP Cameras have a focal plane shutter while Crown and
Speed Graphic Model 1000 Cameras do not. Although most illustrations are of the
Iarger 45 size, the instructions are equally applicable to the smaller 23 and 34
Cameras. All directions, left and right, are from the operator's
position behind
the camera.
Most instruetions apply to the Graflok Back and the Graphie aecessories ac-
cepted by therrf. For information concerning the use of the Graflex Back and the
Graflejitf,lm aeeessories accepted by them see Page 50.
Every e$pr$ has been made to make
your camera dependable, convenient and
easy to use.' the following pages will review basic operation and will explain the
purpose and use of the many features built into the camera.
For those who wish more detailed information on lighting, exposure and other
areas of photography, a bibliography has been provided on Page 48.

B( ' DY RELEASE
The Pacemaker Graphic is equipped with a conveniently loeated body release. On
Speed Graphic Cameras a selector slide is also provided.
When the selector slide is
in the "FRONT"
position
the arm on the front standard will engage the shutter
release lever and trip the shutter. With the selector slide in the "BACK" position
the focal plane
shutter will be tripped.
To set the selector slide
push
in and. up or down to the desired setting.
The selector slide may be used to release the focal plane
shutter without firing
a flash lamp and is useful when it becomes necessary to change shutter speeds.
To release shutter push in and up as far as it wiil
go. (Trip)
NOTE: When usi ng the front shutter the focal pl ane
shutter must be open and when usi ng the focal
pl ane
shutter the front shutter must be open.

Pacemaker Spe ed Graphi c Cameras are equi pped wi th
a foeal pl ane shutter at the back of the camera. Thi s
shutter has a wi de sel ecti on of accurate speeds i n a
general l y hi gher range than between the l ens shutters.
It provi des f or the use of tel ephoto or other l enses
whi ch may not be mount ed i n shut t ers. General l y
speaki ng, t he f ocal pl ane shut t er has more mot i on
stoppi ng abi l i ty than between the l ens shutters. Where
there i s dupl i cati on of shutter speeds, ei ther f ocal
pl ane or front shutter may be used at preference of the
user. I f shut t er speeds sl ower t han 1/ 30 of a second are
requi red, use the front shutter.
To use the focal pl ane shutter:
Open the front shutter.
(Set at "T'
'
and open i t or
use Press Focus feature.)
Set the sel ector sl i de at "baek."
Turn the shutter winding key until the desired
shutter speed appears in the shutter speed window.
With the speed eontrol lever moved toward the
back of the eamera the mask in the shutter speed
wi ndow wi l l be rai sed to expose the fol l owi ng shut-
ter speeds: 50, 250, 1000. Wi th the l ever moved
forward a speed eontrol
governor is engaged and
the following figures will be seen in the shutter
speed wi ndow: 30, L25, 500. These numbers i ndi cat e
the exposure time in terms of fractional parts of a

TI ME EXPOSURES:
Ti me exposure may be made wi th the focal
plane shutter.
1. Move the speed control lever toward
back of the camera to disengage
governor.
2. Wind or release the focal plane shutter
until letter "T" appears in the shutter
speed window.
3. Pless the body release to allow the focal
plane shutter to run down to the full open
posi ti on.
4. Press the body release again to close the
shutter at the end of the exposure time.
NoTE: It is preferable to release the shutter
by means of a heavy duty metal cable re-
Iease threaded into the cable release soeket
of the body release.
FOCAL PLANE SHUTTER
FLASH SYNGHRONI ZATTON
Since the length of eurtain travel is different
for eaeh size of Paeemaker Speed Graphic
Camera, the effeetive flash peak require-
ments vary. Hence, instructions f or flash
synchronization with the Speed Graphi c 23
Camera vary slightly from those for the
larger Speed Graphic 34 and 45 Cameras.
1. Attach the Graflite Battery Case to the
eamera.
2. Plug the Graflite cord into the synehro-
nizer outlet on the camera and the shutter
outlet in the battery ease
Make the exposure by pressi ng the body
release.

Use only the No. 31 and No. 2A flash lamps at shutter
speeds of 1/1000 and L1250 of a seeond. Synchronization
ean not be obtained at other instantaneous speeds. Speeds
marked in red serve as a reminder thab they are not to
be used for flash synchronization.
All types of flash lamps as well as high speed electronic
flash units may be used with the Time exposure setting
by means of the built-in contacts. The curtain should be
set for the making of a Time exposure, previously out-
lined. (See Page 20.) The lamp will be fired as the curtain
reaches the full open position.
The Graflex focal plane shutter will not fire a flash lamp
when the shutter eurtain is wound or when the shutter is
released with the shutter seleetor slide sinee a secondary
switch connected to the body release makes it necessary
to release the focal plane shutter by the body release in
order to fire the flash lamp.
NoTE: If the focal plane shutter has not been used re-
cently, the contacts may have become oxidized. To insure
good contact wind and release the curtain occasionally,
or at least a few times before using for flash.

GARE OF YOUR GAMERA
You have purchased
a fine camera, carefully designed, produced
and tested. It
should
give you
long and most satisfactory service. Protect it from dust and dirt
and avoid rough handling; and if possible,
keep the camera closed and in the
carrying case when it is not in use.
Do not attempt to make any repairs to the shutter and never oil a camera
shutter. If it needs attention, turn it over to a eompetent camera mechanic. Re-
member that, on
general principles, it is a good idea to have the complete camera
checked over every few years
to keep it in tip top shape.
The surface of the lens has received a special hard coating, which will reduce
internal reflections and help you make better negatives. Clean the lens carefully,
with smooth, easy motions using a camel's hair brush or lens tissue. Moisten the
tissue with a drop or two of lens cleaner, but do not apply the cleaner to the
surface of the lens.
Your Graflex Dealer is ready to be of service in discussing your
camera and its
use, and over-the-eounter discussions of
your pictures
will be very helpful to
you.
The Graflex Consumer Correspondence Department is also at
your
service to
assist you in getting
the most out of your
Graphic Camera. Do not hesitate to
write about any photographic problems
which you
may have. Should such ques-
tions relate to the making of pictures,
be sure to send in your negatives and such
exposure data as you
may have available.
