6.Automatic exposure system (AE)

1)Set the aperture ring (7) at the "AK" mark (18), and the aperture ring is then locked.

2)Turn the shutter speed dial (3) and set it at the desired speed. With ISO 100 film, for example, a typical shutter speed for shooting outdoors in clear weather is 1/125 or 1/250 see, 1/30 or 1/60 for indoors.

*The "B" (bulb) setting does not allow AE shooting because the shutter remains open.

3)Look through the finder, compose the picture you want, and make sure the needle of the light meter does not indicate under or over exposure warning. Then just press the shutter to take a picture.

*For aperture-priority operation, look through the finder and turn the shutter speed dial (3) until the needle shows the desired aperture reading.

*Intermediate points between shutter speed scale (4) indicated on the shutter speed dial cannot be used.

*The Konica TC-X can be used without a battery, if desired, by setting both speed and aperture manually.
