S Mode - Minolta Maxxum Dynax 7 User Manual

S MODE

In S mode (shutter priority), you select the shutter speed and the
camera automatically sets the aperture for the proper exposure.
Use S mode when you want to control the blur caused by subject
movement.

mode dial lock-release button,
turn the exposure-mode dial to
S.
2. Turn either control dial to
select the shutter speed.
• When pressing the shutter-release button part-
way down, if the aperture value blinks or the
printing reverses, the required setting is beyond
the camera's aperture range. Turn the control
dial until the blinking/reversing stops.
