Features of the Crossover System and the AE (Auto Exposure) Mode
The Crossover System
The ZE-X Crossover System enables the camera to cross over automatically between the various AE modes in
the following circumstances:
1) Used with the shutter speed priority AE or aperture priority AE modes, it allows the camera to automatically
correct exposure settings in unforeseen situations when conditions are such that your pre-selected shutter speed
or aperture will not give you a correct exposure.
2) With the two modes mentioned above and in the programmed AE mode, it allows the camera to open the
aperture automatically and maintain a safe shutter speed, that is, a speed which is above the "camera shake"
limit for the lens in use. This ensures blur-free hand-held photography in all but the most extreme exposure
conditions.
3) When the Mamiyalite MZ 36R and MZ 18R dedicated auto electronic flash units are used with the camera,
the Crossover System acts to prevent the flash discharging in exposure situations where correct exposure can be
obtained without flash, but automatically switches the camera back to the flash AE mode if the shutter speed
drops below the handheld "camera shake" limit.4www.butkus.org
Shutter Speed Priority AE
In this mode, the camera sets the correct aperture for you, leaving you free to control the shutter speed. This
type of auto exposure is especially useful when you wish to deliberately blur your subject or the background by
using a slow shutter speed, or when you need to use a fast shutter speed to freeze the action. If you are a
beginner without much knowledge of photography, we suggest that you set the shutter speed to 1/125 second
until you get the feel of it; with the Crossover switch on, there will be no need to change shutter speeds for
different lighting conditions.
