Minolta Weathermatic-A Owner's Manual page 10

Set the knob so that the index is opposite the mountain symbol for scenic pictures at
distances of about 5.3m (17-1/2 ft.) or more from the camera at the cloud symbol; 3.5m
(11 ft.) or more at the sun symbol.
At this distance, the part of a standing adult from about head to ankles can be seen in
the finder bright frame with the camera held horizontally. Subjects from about 3 to 5m
(10 to 16 ft.) will be acceptably sharp at the cloud symbol; from about 2 to 11 m (7 to
36 ft.) at the sun symbol.
The symbol within the yellow dot marks the setting at which most "people-picture"
snapshots are taken (about 3.5m or 11 ft.) and has a click stop to keep it in position.
