Long Exposure At "B" Setting - Minolta X-300S Instruction Manual

There are two ways to do th is:
. First set the shutter speed selector
at the desired click-stop, then
turn the aperture ring until no
LEDs light up other than the LED
blinking next to the selected
speed .
• First set the aperture as desired,
then turn the shutter-speed selec-
tor so that the blinking LED
matches up with the glowing
LED . If two LEDs are glowing,
adjust the aperture ring slightly so
only one glows. Do not set the
shutter speed between click-stops.
Long exposure at "S" setting
When the mode/shutter-speed se-
lector is set at
"S",
the shutter will
open when you press the shutter-
release button and remain open
until you release the button . This
makes exposure longer than one
second possible. A tripod or other
firm support should generally be
used.
The eyepiece cap (p . 22) should be
used to prevent stray light from
affecting the exposure.
NOTE
• The self-timer does not operate at
the " S" setting.
• With fresh batteries at moderate
temperatures, the maximum long
exposure is approx . 10 hours. At
lower temperatures, exposure time
may be sh orter.
