Minolta XG-9 - Auto Electroflash 200 X and 132 X

· 44 USING OTHER THAN MD OR Me LENSES
Metering and exposure with Auto Rokkor
lenses having built in preview buttons, R F lens
(reflex-mirror
type), and Manual-Preset lenses
are by the stop-down method as follows:
Auto Rokkor lenses
1.
After focusing, depress the preview button
to stop down the aperture.
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
Proceed as for Auto Rokkors above, except
that use of a stop-down button is not necessary
as metering and exposure are always made at
tak i ng aperture.
NOTE
Because they have neither meter coupling
nor preview buttons, the 35mm f/2.8 Shift CA
lens,
Auto Bellows I, and some Auto Rokkor
lenses can not be used with the XG -9 on auto
mode.
