An expandable clamping ring is designed to fit lenses with an outside diameter of 112mm. ( eg.Panavision Primo Primes). Turn the locking screw to clamp down on the lens. Lens adapter rings are available to accommodate various smaller lens diameters. ( see “Accessories” for details )

Note: The Kamio is only recommended for fixed barrel lenses. Fixed barrel lenses are designed to support the weight of the Kamio and keep the fixture properly oriented.

Filter Tray holds a maximum of two 4” x 5.65” filter holders or two 4” x 4” filter holders
Each filter holder has a detent on one side of the frame. To properly secure the holder, the detents should align with the two small pushball set screws on the tray (1)

The tension can be adjusted by using a flat jeweler’s screwdriver (1) to vary the depth of the screw setting. The silver thumbscrews (2) lock the filter trays in position. Lens Clamp (3), locks Kamio to lens.
Changing Lamps
Extract the lamp by pushing the lamp harness through the reflector. The lamp will clear the reflector making it easier to grasp

Ballast Operation
The Kamio Ballast, BAL-149X operates remote from the fixture. Connect the Kamio lamp harness to the extension cable or the Ballast, making sure to rotate the locking ring until it clicks into the locked position. After the lamps are properly installed, the Ballast can be turned on. Avoid operating in temperatures above 125°F (51°C).
(Note: The dimmer should be full up when striking the lamp. Once the lamp has come up to full temperature, in 3-5 minutes, then dim to the desired light level.)

But, for those not familiar with the brand and its unique properties, a Holga is largely an enigma. This does not dissuade people from buying the camera. In fact, the Holga mystique draws people to it. In this guide, we will lift the veil that shrouds the camera and give you special insight into the Holga. We will explore the camera’s inner workings, show you how to use it, and discuss that special photographic “sensibility” the Holga is known for.

HOLGA SENSIBILITY
A Holga is a study in plastic imperfection, and to use it is an exercise in breaking free from dependence on technology, precision, and uber-sharpness. The slight softness of the images, uncontrollable vignetting and peculiar light leaks create a partnership between you and your Holga. These “flaws”, accompanied by your creative choices, result in a quasi- serendipitous form of art.

A Holga stretches our visual perception. Using a Holga adds another facet to the way we see the world. We notice more things, and thus we examine and evaluate their status. A Holga is an educator teaching us a new visual vocabulary with which to describe our world. A Holga is a rule breaker. To use a Holga is to utterly change the terms of reference most people use to interpret photography.

HOLGA HISTORY
Holga’s history is the stuff of myth and legend. Some say that the camera is made by the same people who brought us the original Diana plastic camera. Others say the Holga was designed specifically to fill the gap left by the Diana’s temporary departure.

The truth is something very different. Holga is not related to Diana, and the Holga was not designed with the Diana in mind. In fact, the people who manufacture the Holga were not even familiar with the Diana nor its substantial following.

Designed and engineered in a factory in China, the Holga was initially introduced to the Chinese public in 1981 as an inexpensive camera using the most popular film format in the country at the time—120 size film. At that point, China was just beginning to open its doors to the world, and photography was skyrocketing in popularity. Unfortunately for the Holga, no one could have predicted the enormous impact 35mm film would have on the Chinese market, and after only a few short years the Holga was overrun by its smaller format competitors.

You are on your way to ensure that you produce the clearest photographs possible. Read this guide carefully before you start cleaning your digital SLR image sensor. This guide will help you clean your sensor safely and effectively.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN YOUR SENSOR WITHOUT READING THIS ENTIRE MANUAL.

You need to clean your sensor.

Dirty sensors are a real problem.
What you can’t see can affect your pictures. Dirt comes from many sources and it inevitably ends up on your sensor. If the dirt is not removed in a safe and effective way, your images will show this debris. Four common types of contaminants can get on your image sensor: metallic, fiber, organic and silica/quartz particles. Only the SensorScope System and Digital Duster System addresses all four types of material and the proper way to remove them safely. Cleaning is safe and easy. Anyone can clean an image sensor in just a few minutes. Clean all digital SLR cameras in four easy steps:
Step One: Set up your camera to be cleaned.
Step Two:Use the SensorScope to inspect your sensor. If it isn’t dirty, don’t clean it!
Step Three: Clean your sensor with the SensorVac and wet/dry SensorWands.
Step Four: Inspect your sensor with the SensorScope again. That’s it!
