Minolta XG-1 User Manual

AUTOMATIC EXPOSURE ADJUSTMENT
To deliberately give more or less exposure
while in automatic mode, set the shutter-
speed/ function dial as follows :
Depress
the Auto-setting release and move
the shutter -speed/ function selector so that the
"A" is on the side having plus (+) number s to
produce more exposure or on the side having
minus (- ) numbers to produce less exposure.
The number s indicate the amount of adjust-
ment in stops or EV steps (i.e., "+1" indicates
one more stop or double the normal automatic
exposu re, and "+2" means two stops or fou r
times more exposure: "-1" is one stop less or
one half the exposure, and "-2" produce s two
s tops' less or one quarter the normal exposure).
The shutter-speed / funct io n selector will lock at
normal automatic setting and there are click-
stops at each half stop setting.
The "A" may be set at intermediate posi-
tions between +2 and -2.
Always return the shutter -speed/ function
selector to "A" (normal automatic operation)
after using exposure adjustment settings.
NOTE
The XG's automatic exposure system will
not operate when the "A" on the shutter-
speed/function selector is moved outside the
range of exposu re adjustment.
