Red "M" = Manual mode in use

Aperture you selected (equals

taking aperture)

Shutter speed recommended by

camera for that aperture

NOT ACTUAL SPEED SET

Long exposures ("B" setting)

When the mode/shutter-speed se-

lector is set at "B", the shutter will

open when you press the operating

button and remain open until you

release it, making exposures longer

than one second possible. A tripod

(p. 46) or other firm support

should generally be used. To avoid

jarring the camera when pressing or

releasing the operating button, use

a standard cable release (preferably

a lockable type for longer expo-

sures) or a Minolta electronic re-

mote cord (p. 47). The eyepiece

cap (p. 25) should be used to pre-

vent stray light from affecting the

exposure.

NOTES

• The self-timer does not operate at

the "B" setting.

• With fresh batteries at moderate

temperatures, the maximum long

exposure is approx. 3 hours. At

lower temperatures, exposure time

may be shorter. Exposures up to 6

hours long are possible by using a

fresh lithium battery.

• For automatically timed long

exposures, use the accessory Multi-

Function Back (p. 55).
