Exposure Compensation; Multi-Function Recording Mode Display - Minolta Dimage F200 Instruction Manual

MULTI-FUNCTION RECORDING
Except for digital subject programs, the basic operation of the camera in multi-function
recording mode is identical to the auto-recording mode. Thoroughly familiarize yourself
with the previous sections before moving on.
The multi-function recording mode allows greater control over image making. This
recording mode gives more control over autofocus and composition. The menu controls
are extensive allowing critical adjustments to image qualities such as sharpness,
contrast, and color saturation.
Minolta history
In the center of the Sakai plant in Japan is Okina bridge.
In the 15th century, Sakai was a very prosperous free city,
and Okina bridge spanned the moat at one of the
entrances into the walled town. For centuries, this bridge
carried pilgrims on their way to two of Japan's sacred
places: the mountain monastery of Koyasan and the great
Shinto shrine, Kumano Taisha.
The bridge in the courtyard dates from 1855. In 1968,
Minolta offered to remove and preserve the bridge when
the city government announced they would fill in the moat
for a planned highway. The bridge now spans a specially
constructed goldfish pond. The writing on the stone bol-
lard at the front of the bridge prohibits vehicles from cross-
ing.
