Minolta XG-A - Focusing Techniques

"8" SETTING
Turning the shutter-function selector to
align "8" with the index (while depressing the
auto-setting release if from "AUTO" setting)
sets
the camera for making "bulb" exposures.
That is, the sh utter wi II 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-A 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 .
