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 aperture .
2. With
the shutter - function selector set at
" AUTO" , select an aperture as explained on
pages 24 and 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, 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
taking aperture .
NOTE
Because
they have nei ther meter coupling
nor preview buttons, Minolta 35mm f/2_B CA
Shift lens, Auto Bellows I, and some Auto
Rokkor lenses can not be used with the XG -A
or auto mode.
