Aperture Priority - A - Minolta DIMAGE 5 Instruction Manual

RECORDING MODE

APERTURE PRIORITY - A

The photographer selects the aperture and the
2
camera sets the appropriate shutter speed to
1
ensure correct exposure. When A mode is selected,
the aperture value on the monitor and EVF will turn
blue.
Turn the control dial (1) to set the desired aperture
value. Press the shutter-release button to activate
the exposure system (2); the corresponding shutter
speed will be displayed.
The aperture values can be changed by half stop increments between f/2.8 and f/8 at
the lens' wide-angle position and f/3.5 to f/9.5 at the lens' telephoto position. If the
aperture value is beyond the shutter-speed range, the shutter-speed display will blink
on the data panel and turn red on the monitors.
When the shutter speed falls below an acceptable limit for the camera to be hand held,
a warning appears in the lower left corner of the EVF and LCD monitor. When the
warning appears, decrease the aperture value until the warning disappears or place the
camera on a tripod.
Because the shutter speeds can be adjusted in
fine steps, the same shutter speed maybe
displayed when the aperture is changed. With
the camera sensitivity (ISO) set to auto, the
shutter speed may not change when the
aperture is adjusted.
