Aperture Priority - Minolta Dynax 7xi Instruction Manual

Aperture Priority (A)
In aperture priority (A) mode, you set the aperture you want and, if the shutter
speed is available, the camera will automatically maintain the correct
exposure.
1. Refer to p.46 (Changing Exposure Mode) and select A.
• The depth index will appear in the lower part of the viewfinder screen and
the indicator will show the approximate depth that the current aperture will
provide.
2. To set the aperture, turn the rear control dial to the left or right.
The aperture display in the body and viewfinder data panels will change in
1/2-stop increments with each click of the dial. The depth index's indicator
will also move to reflect the changes in the depth that different apertures will
provide. When the indicator is all the way to the right, the aperture that is set
will provide maximum depth of field. As you open up to larger apertures
(smaller f/numbers), the indicator will move toward the graphic on the left,
to indicate a gradual loss of depth in the picture.
