Minolta Maxxum 8000i - Focus Hold

This camera gives you a choice of two film-
advance modes. In single-frame mode (^), the
film is advanced one frame each time you re¬
lease the shutter. In continuous mode (os), suc¬
cessive exposures are made and the film is
advanced continuously, at up to 3 frames per
second, while the shutter-release button is held
down. When you operate the camera in contin¬
uous mode, with autofocus set, the focus setting
is adjusted between exposures to ensure sharp
pictures.
To select the film-advance mode:
1. Press the function-selector key to move the
function pointer under the film-advance mode
indicator in the data panel.
2. Hold down the function-adjustment (FUIMC)
button and slide the setting control in either
direction to change the film-advance mode.

EXPOSURE ADJUSTMENT
The exposure-adjustment function offers a
quick way to selectively bias exposure. It is use¬
ful for subjects that, based on experience, you
think should be over- or underexposed, com¬
pared with exposure at the nominal ISO setting,
or for making several different exposures of a
scene (exposure bracketing) to make sure that
one of them is exposed precisely the way you
want Easily operated, and with a correspond¬
ing viewfinder display, exposure adjustment is
designed so that you can use it without remov¬
ing your eye from the viewfinder.
