USING OTHER THAN MD OR Me LENSES
Metering and exposure with Auto Rokkor
lenses having built-in . preview buttons, RF
Minolta (reflex-mirror type), and Manual-Preset
Minolta lenses are by the stop-down method as
follows:
Auto Rokkor lenses
1.
After focusing, depress the lens' preview
button to stop down the apertu reo
2.
With the shutter-speed/ function selector set
at "A," select an aperture as explained on
pp . 24 through 25 . The viewfinder field will
darken as the lens is stopped down, and the
split-image spot and microprism band may
become unusable due to darkening .
3.
With the lens stopped down to the proper
taking aperture or with the camera set for
manual operation, release the shutter .
RF (mirror - type) and Manual -preset lenses
Proc eed as for Auto Rokkors above, except
that use of a stop - down button is not necessary
as metering and exposure are always made at
taking aperture .
NOTE
Because they have neither meter coupling
nor preview buttons, Minolta 35mm f/2.8 CA
Shift lens, Auto Bellows I, and some Auto
Rokkor lenses can not be used with the XG -'
on auto mode.
