I have seen a negative from the above camera which contains in the rebate information on various aspects as follows:

F5.6( must be the f stop used); 1/60( must be the shutter speed) CENT? M? AFS? Fr 08 ( must be the frame number) 150mm( must be the lens' length)

So I think I have worked out most of the notation but what is

CENT;M; and AFS?

I think CENT may be centre weighted metering, M may be manual focus but if so and AFS has something to do with Auto focus then I am puzzled as to why there is both notations in the rebate

Can any owners of this camera help? I don't own this camera and when I did a search on APUG it gets surprisingly few mentions despite being one of the last of the film Medium Format cameras made

Thanks

M for manual metering?

On the Contax 645 (which is a similar camera produced differently, very different lens renderings especially between the two systems) the cam imprints the lens information also: 80/2 being the most common for the 80mm f2 lens.

Thanks for replies. I think you are right that M is probably manual metering and AFS is probably single shot as opposed to AFC which is continuous shot.

Thanks for the link to the manual, AgX and wow! that is a big manual

At page 117 "AFS" and "AFC" are described as autofocus-modes in detail.
