Step 4: Set The Aperture - Contax MAD Manual

STEP 4: SET THE APERTURE

Turn the aperture ring on the lens to set the aperture. At this
time, the shutter speed will be displayed in the viewfinder
according to the aperture.
For exposure control on the CONTAX T2, there is the aperture
priority AE method in which the appropriate shutter speed is
automatically controlled by setting an arbitrary aperture as wells
as the aperture priority program AE method in which there is
an additional program function when set to F2.8.
<Exposure Control Range Chart>
As is shown in the chart, the light meter range and maximum
shutter speed change in accordance with the aperture for
program or for aperture priority.
• The "P" mark will turn on when in program AE.
• When the "500" The shutter speed is blinking in the viewfinder,
it indicates overexposure. Set the aperture so that it does not
blink at "500" or set to F2.8 and set to the program mode and
photograph. If the "500" continues to blink, the light conditions
have exceeded the exposure control range and you must use
film of a lower sensitivity.
• When "LT' is lit or is blinking, either use a tripod to prevent
blurring of the picture from an unsteady hold on the camera
or carry out flash photography.
• When "LT" is blinking, the camera will automatically
go to bulb exposure.
