Repair Manual Yashica Electro 35 Gx
If it rotates in the course of film wind, it means that the film is advancing properly. SHUTTER LOCK Turn the Shutter Lock and align the indicator with the 'L' setting. In this position, the Shutter Release Button will be locked, and accidental tripping of the shutter will be prevented. Make it a rule to lock the Shutter Release Button when your camera is not in use. Note: When locked, undue power drain will be prevented even if the Film Advance Lever is wound fully. VIEWFINDER The Viewfinder of your Electro 35 GX incorporates a bright frame which outlines the area that will be reproduced on the film.

The depth of field can be read off the depth-of-field scale on the lens barrel. If, for instance, focus is secured on a subject at a distance of 2 meters and an aperture setting of F16 is used, all objects within the range indicated by the figure '16' on both sides of the distance scale (approx. 1.3 to 5 meters) will appear acceptably sharp in the picture.
The ASA speed rating is indicated clearly on the outer box or the instruction sheet which comes with the film. The higher the ASA number, the greater the sensitivity of the film to light. It is important that you understand that this increase in light sensitivity is enabled by increasing the size of the grain structure of the film.
Now slowly press the shutter release button until you see the red over exposure lamp. Then adjust the lens opening until both the red and yellow lamps are out. At this point your camera is set for the correct exposure with the shutter set at 1/500th sec. If you wish to cut the shutter speed in half to 1/250th second for the sake of greater depth of focus, move the indicated lens opening on the barrel to the next 100% smaller aperture setting. For example if the lamp went out at 5.6, decrease the lens opening by 100% to 8.0 Obviously you can move from one mid point to the next. To obtain an exposure of 1/125 th second, you would move the lens by two increments to 11. Try this without film in the camera to get the hang of it.
Set the Aperture as required for the films ASA & subject distance directly by-passing instructions for the ES-20 strobe given above. DEPTH OF FIELD When focus is secured on a given subject, objects in the foreground and back-ground will appear acceptably sharp in the picture. The range over which the objects appear sharp is called the depth of field.

Advance the film. In the course of the film wind, a faint click will be heard.
Do not confuse depth of field with overall lens sharpness. This optimum lens performance is usually attained at about 75% of the maximum lens aperture. FILM UNLOADING Check the Exposure Counter to see whether the entire length of the film has been exposed. After exposing the full length, the film must be rewound into its cassette before opening the Back Cover. Push the Film Rewind Release Button on the bottom of the camera. Failure to do so will result in the film sprockets being torn, and most likely damage to the camera mechanism.
Set exposure symbol by turning Aperture Ring. Advance film. Secure focus and trip shutter. BATTERY LOADING The shutter and exposure control of your Electro 35 GX will not function precisely unless the batteries are loaded properly.
When an ASA 80 or 100 Film is used, alignment of the Electro Flash Symbol with the Film Speed Setting Lever will automatically set the lens aperture at F4. The dot beside the flash symbol is the index when a flashbulb is used. [M synch] Advance the Film and focus. The effective radius of automatic flash exposure with the Yashica ES-20 AUTO is 5 meters. Set the power switch of the strobe unit to 'ON'.
Fold out the Film Rewind Crank-handle on top of the Film Rewind Knob and turn it in the direction of the arrow slowly to prevent static discharge which can fog the film and ruin it. In the course of film rewinding, the Exposure Counter will count back to show the length of film yet to be returned into the film cassette. When the Exposure Counter resets to the red 'Start' zone, it means that the full length of the exposed film has been rewound into the cassette. Open the Back Cover and take out the film cassette ACCESSORIES Lens Shade: Your ELECTRO 35 GX uses a 54mm slip-on type lens shade.
Yashica 35 GX Yashica Electro 35 GX 40/1.7 lens I have never encountered this camera before. Strangely enough, it is NOT in the Collector's Guide to Japanese Cameras. I am told it is the last of the long line of 16 Yashica Electro cameras, vintage 1975. This is an interesting camera with electronic shutter, 40/1.7 6 element lens, aperture priority, parallax correction, nice VF/RF, and convenient controls. On the Plus Side • Nice VF/RF with Parallax correction. This is the only camera of the CameraQuest Compact 35 RF group besides the Canonet QL17 which has Parallax correction. It's a very expensive feature for this class of compact 35 RF camera.
Always use two 1.4V batteries [Eveready E640N, Mallory PX640, or equivalent]. Open the Battery Compartment Cover by sliding it in the direction of the arrow and lifting it up while catching the groove with the tip of your fingernail. Do not force the cover open. Open it outward. Install the batteries by referring to the polarity diagram in the battery compartment. If their polarity is reversed, all indicator lamps will fail to come on and the shutter will fail to function properly.
If the yellow indicator lamp fails to go off even when the Aperture Ring is turned all the way, mount the camera on a tripod to prevent camera shake, or use flash. Exposure Indicator Arrows: The exposure indicator arrows are also featured on the camera's top plate. SHOOTING BACKLIT OR SPOT-LIT SUBJECTS Although the basic rule calls for shooting front-lit subjects, there are instances where you have no other choice than to shoot subject against light or in a glaring spotlight. In such cases, your main subject will be either under-exposed or over-exposed if normal automatic exposure is attempted.

After ascertaining that the Sprocket teeth properly engage the perforations on both edges of the film, close the Back Cover and press gently to lock it in place. Press the Shutter Release Button and push the Film Advance Lever and repeat alternately until the Exposure Counter registers the figure 1. The Exposure Counter will automatically register the number of exposures which you have made. To check the film advance, observe the Film Rewind Knob while manipulating the Film Advance Lever.

OK, right around the shutter blades you’ll see a scalloped ring, that’s actually a retaining ring for the rest of the lens barrel above the shutter. Remove it and swing aside the lens barrel, which will still be held down at one edge by all the meter wires. NOTE – when you put the ring back, don’t overtighten or your aperture ring will be very stiff. Just tighten it enough so that the lens doesn’t wobble. Now you can clearly see the shutter.
The Electro, G, GT, and GS models have a cold accessory shoe. The GSN and GTN models have a hot shoe. All models are fitted with a Yashinon 1.7 45mm lens with a 55mm filter thread. On the G and later models, the lens is branded as a Color Yashinon, although it was otherwise identical. The closest focusing distance is 0.8m.
Always see to it that the Shutter Release Button is pressed gently with the ball of your right index finger, or a cable release if your accessory hand grip is so equipped. When tripping the shutter, make sure your fingers or the cover of the carrying case, shoulder strap, etc. Do not cover the lens or the SBC sensor.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN THE YELLOW INDICATOR ARROW COMES ON: Turn the Aperture Ring in the direction of the arrow until the exposure indicator lamp goes off. If it goes off, hand-held photography can be safely attempted because the shutter will operate at a speed faster than 1/30 sec. With extreme closeups this speed will likely not be fast enough.
No seals here but it may be sticky from corrosion. You can loosen and remove corrosion by swabbing it with a cotton swab moistened with white vinegar. Sometimes an old battery will have corroded the wiring adjacent to the chamber. The ring the wires are attached to floats free, and is contacted by the wavy ring on the battery door. If that ring is missing you won’t have a circuit, I’ll bet you can make it up with some tin foil if you don’t have a replacement cover.
When you understand the relationship between the aperture stops and the percentage of light between them, it actually becomes quite simple to select the shutter speed best suited for your shots. Each stop on the lens barrel, namely, 16 - 11 - 8 - 5.6 - 4 - 2.8 - 2 - 1.4 represents a 100% change from the adjoining setting. As the numbers get larger, the amount of light transmitted by the lens becomes LESS, because this number is NOT the size of the lens opening but is the ratio of the size of the lens opening [aperture] to the focal length of the lens. With this in mind, it is not difficult to follow the procedure. In daylight photography, set the lens opening to maximum for the sake of simplicity. This is 1.7 on the 'G' series.
4 stars - 'I n near mint condition” Optically: Small dust particles noticeable. No scratches or anything permanent on the front and rear lenses. Small cleaning marks may be observable on the surface of the front element, but they are by no means significant. We guarantee that the deficiencies are not visible on the images. Mechanically: The focus is smooth and steady, though it may be slightly tighter or looser than a product straight from the factory.
Yashica GX 35mm YASHICA ELECTRO GX RANGEFINDER CAMERA The Yashica Electro 35 GX of which you have just become a proud owner incorporates a fully automatic exposure system, enabling you to make automatic exposures under virtually all lighting conditions, from candle light to glaring snow or beach scenes. In addition, it features a unique Electro Auto Flash System which permits you to go fully automatic with flash exposures as well. Particularly in automatic flash exposure, the use of the exclusive Yashica ES-20 AUTO strobe unit affords the utmost convenience. While mounted on your camera, this unit can be swiveled to the right or left for bounce flash technique.

The Electro’s weak spot is a dim rangefinder. The lines are bright and the frame auto-adjusts for parallax, but the field itself is a bit dark, and if its cloudy or dirty it’s just not happening. First, remove the three silver crosspoint screws from the top — there are two on the sides and one on the back under the battery check button. Then get your point spanner out and remove the winder by turning the top counterclockwise.

After ascertaining that the neon ready light is on, press the Shutter Release Button all the way. The strobe unit will be triggered synchronously with the shutter operation.
ULTRA HIGH-SPEED PHOTOGRAPHY Adapters available for flash exposure with the ES-20 AUTO include Hot-Shoe Extension Cords permitting off-camera flash synchronization. Twin-Flash Adapter enabling use of up to two strobe units and Techno Bracket SST-7 affording versatile bounce flash. OFF-CAMERA FLASH: Off-camera flash is effective in portraiture. By directing the flash from an oblique angle, a more appealing lighting effect can be obtained. It is also effective in close-ups. By setting the strobe unit at some distance to the rear of the camera, you can approach the subject and obtain good close-ups. Also, when shooting subjects at a considerable range, off-camera flash technique comes in handy.
Otherwise perfect shots are very often spoiled by erratic movement of the camera at the critical moment of exposure. Before attempting to shoot your first series of pictures, hold your camera in your hands and familiarize yourself with the correct method of operation.
