Konica Minolta A2 instruction manual Exposure Lock, EXPOSURE-MODE Dial

EXPOSURE LOCK

The AE lock button locks the automatic exposure system. This function allows the exposure to be set by a gray card or reference target outside the scene. When using flash in the P or A exposure modes, slow- shutter sync is active (p. 87). The operation of the AE lock button can be customized in section 1 of the recording menu (p. 94).

Press and hold the AE lock button to lock the exposure; the shutter speed and aperture monitor displays turns black; releasing the button cancels the setting. Frame the subject and press the shutter- release button partway down to lock focus.

EXPOSURE-MODE DIAL

The exposure-mode dial is used to select traditional exposure modes as well as subject programs that optimize camera settings to specific shooting conditions. Camera settings saved in the camera can also be recalled with this dial. Simply turn the dial to the appropriate position.
