Konica Minolta AF-2840 instruction manual AE area selection, AE lock

AE area selection

Click the AE-area-selection button after prescanning the image.

Pressing the shift key changes the dot- ted cropping frame to the solid AE area frame. While pressing the shift key, use the mouse to adjust and move the AE area. The methods used to manipulate the frame are the same as the cropping frame except that the shift key must be held, see manual cropping section on page 38.

Place the AE area over the section of the image to be used to determine the exposure. Usually placing the area over the subject of the picture will produce excellent results. The area should repre- sent on average the mid-tone of the image.

Click the prescan button to view the effect on the exposure. AE area selection can be canceled by pressing the AE-area-selection button again.

After making a prescan or setting the exposure of the reference image with the AE-area-selection function, click the AE lock button to fix the scanner’s exposure.

Select another image and click the prescan button to view the result with the set exposure. To cancel the AE lock, click the AE lock button again. The prescan and final scan will be made with the locked exposure setting until the AE lock is canceled.
