Minolta XG-9 - Holding the Camera

32
MANUAL EXPOSURE CONTROL
In situations where the contrast difference
between the subject area and the background
exceeds the available range of automatic ex-
posure compensation, or when a desired photo-
graphic effect requires a fixed speed, you will
want to use the XG 's manual shutter speed.
1. While depressing
the Auto-setting release if
from the "A" setting, turn the shutter-
speed/function selector to al ign a stepped
speed with
the index. Any shutter-speed and
lens- aperture combination may then be set
for full manual operation.
2. To determine the aperture and shutter speed
settings by using
the XG's metering system,
move
the shutter-speed/function selector to
the " A" (Auto) setting. Then adjust the lens
aperture for the desired shutter speed and
aperture combination . After noting the
shutter speed indicated by a lighted LE D,
reposition the selector to that manual speed
and take the picture.
