With
the
Contax 159
MM,
you
can
use
the
shutter
control
dial
to
select
any one
of three
program
modes,
aperturepriority
AE
mode,
and
manual
exposure
mode
to
suit
any
photographic
obiective.
(Program
AE
Mode)
In the
Program
AE mode,
the
camera
automatically
selects the
optimum
combination
of
shutter
speed
and
aperture
settings
for correct
exposure
according
to
lighting
condition
by using
its
pre-programmed
matching
shutter
speed
and
lens
aperture
settings.
This
eliminates
exposure
worries, thus
leaving
you
f
ree
to
concentrate
on
composition
and making
it
a boon
when it is
top
priority
on
capturing
those
fleeting,
decisive moments
Depending
on
the
desired
objective,
the
Contax 159
MM
makes
program
modes
available in
Normal
Program,
High-speed
Program,
and Low-speed
Program.
O

(Normal
Program AE
Mode)
In this mode,
the

balance

and
aperture
settings, making
it
easy
even for the
beginning
photographer
to
use the
camera
with confidence.
O
6'HP"
(High-speed
Program
AE
Mode)
With
this
mode,
the
camera
matches
aperture
settings with
a
shutter-priority
setting
oI 111000
second. lt is
ideally
suited
for fast
action
sports
photography
and for intentional
blurring
of the
background
of
portrait
shots
And it
even
has
the merit
of minimizing
camera
shake when
using
long
telephoto
lenses.
50

Program
AE Mode)

or
even
for
still-life
photos.

set the lens
aperture,
and the
camera
automatically
selects the
shutter
speed
according
to
the lighting
condition
to
give
you
the
correct
exposure
combination.
You
will find it not
only
suitable
for
general
photography
work
but
also for
shots with
depth
of field
considerations
because
you
can f reely
control
the

setting.

take
those
intentional
over-
or
underexposed
shots.
