For
daylight
shots (or artificial
light

set the shutter speed dial
to
A
(automatic). This
controls
the exposure automatic-
ally between
1/2000
second and about
15
seconds.
The up-to-date automatic exposure
control of the
Minox
LX
uses a
si
li
con
blue
cell
(SBe)
and
an
elec-
tronic shutter. This provides a l
ong
stepless control
range with rapid
and
reliable response
even
to
abrupt
lighting level changes.
The automatic system
controls
the
correct exposure
during the
actual shot. F
or
deliberate longer or shorter
exposures adjust
the
film speed setting before
you
take
the picture (page
9).
The automatic system
on
the
Minox
LX
co
ntrols
the
exposure time.
As
with all Minox ultraminiature came·
ras,
the
lens aperture of
the
LX remains constant
(see
page 16).
The Minox
LX
reading
is
centre-weig
ht
ed
:
it
depend
~
much more
on
the
brightness
in
the centre of the
vieVl
than
in
the corners.
