INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the exciting world of CHINON Photography!
Your Chinon DP-5 camera is the most sophisticated 35mm SLR available from CHINON. The DP-
5 is a true pioneer of Muti-programmed 35mm SLR cameras leads the way in Freedom of Choice
with it's versatile "Double-Program" and standard "K"- Mount design. The two-stage
programmed AE allows you to shoot fast moving or slow moving subjects to allow maximum
versatility with your creative photographic needs. Employing a full information electronic
viewfinder with variable intensity LED's, the DP-5 program camera is extremely easy to operate
even under the most adverse lighting conditions.
Your DP-5 program camera is designed with built-in electronic auto focus contacts that will
permit automatic AF operation when used with the optional Chinon 35 - 70mm AF lens. Total
unmanned automatic operation is also possible when further used with the optional Chinon power
winders and wireless remote control unit. [Mike: finding these AF lenses are next to impossible]4.butkus.org

1. ATTACHING THE VIEWFINDER CAP AND STRAP
Viewfinder Cap
For instructions on how to use the Viewfinder Cap, read the section on Self-Timer Photography
and Use of the Viewfinder Cap.
Shoulder Strap
1. Put the strap through the Strap Eyelets and adjust to the correct length.
Place the end of the shoulder strap through the eyelet ring (Fig. l ).
Place the end of the strap through plastic holder and adjust the length of the strap (Fig. 2).
Pass the strap through the metal adjustment buckle to secure (Fig. 3).
2. CHANGING LENSES
Your CHINON DP-5 program camera is equipped with a standard "K"- type bayonet mount
which accepts all interchangeable lenses with the "K" bayonet mount.
To Remove the Lens from the Camera
1. Depress the Lens Release Lever, and turn the lens in the direction of the arrow
(Fig. 4).
To Mount the Lens on the Camera
1. Line up the red dot on the lens mount with the matching red dot on the camera body
(Fig. 5).
2. When the lens has engaged, turn it in the direction of the arrow until it clicks into place.
(Fig. 6).
* Indicator (0) on the lens rim shows filter size. For example, 49 (0) indicates a 49 mm
filter. Refer to this filter size when purchasing CHINON accessory filters.
3. INSERTING THE BATTERIES
The automatic exposure metering and shutter operation of this camera are powered by
batteries, so it is important to insert the batteries correctly for proper operation.
1. Turn the screw on the side of the power grip counterclockwise to remove the power
grip from the camera body (Fig. 7). t:
Place three 1.5V "AAA" alkaline batteries (AM-4) in the power grip as indicated (Fig. 8).
3. Attach the power grip to the camera body by turning the screw clockwise to secure it.
NOTE:
1. Make sure that the batteries are inserted correctly, i.e., check polarity (+ and -). The
shutter will operate only when batteries are correctly installed and not exhausted. When
replacing batteries, replace all three batteries at the same time.
2. When your camera is not used for a long period of time, remove the batteries. If
batteries are dead or improperly inserted, the shutter release button will not operate.
3. Generally, in cold conditions, the voltage of the batteries decreases, and this will
impair the functioning of the shutter and exposure meter. In these cases, either warm up
the batteries or keep a spare set warm in your pocket ready to insert just before shooting.
4. BATTERY TESTING
1. Set the exposure mode select dial to the "P" position (Fig. 9).
2. Look through the viewfinder and depress the shutter release button halfway down to
confirm that at least one of the LED indicators in the viewfinder illuminates (Fig. 10).
3. If nothing illuminates, replace the batteries with a fresh set or check to ensure that
batteries are correctly installed.
