Minox LX User Manual

Long time signal
In poor light you can check before you shoot
whether the exposure time is likely to be longer
than about 1/30 second:
Set the shutter speed dial to A (automatic). Point
the camera at the subject at waist level. Push the
check switch next to the speed dial fully towards
the rear of the camera.
If the yellow slow speed signal lights up with the
key fully pushed back, the exposure time is longer
than about 1/30 second. That means greater risk of
camera shake.
With times shorter than
1/30 second, the slow speed
signal still blinks before the key reaches its end position
- the
"blink" ist about the length of the automatically set
time.
You can operate a
slow speed check with the Minox LX
closed, opened or tensioned. If you have already re-
leased (no circle in the lens window) just push the ca-
mera
closed before operating the slow speed check.
You can
still take pictures in poor light: either use the
Minox pocket tripod (page 29) or shoot with
flash (page
23).
To avoid excessive battery drain, operate the
slow
speed check only briefly.
