Minolta XG-1 - FOCUSING

"8" setting
Turning the shutter-speed/function selector
to align "8" with the index (while depressing
the Auto-setting release if from "A" setting)
sets the camera for making "bulb" exposures .
That is, the shutter will open when the operat -
ing
button is depressed and remain open until it
is released.
NOTE
When a standard cable release is used with
the XG and "8" setting, be sure not to let any
metal part of the release touch any metal part
of the camera body while the shutter is open as
this will cause the shutter to close and end the
exposure .
