Len note
All Konica Minolta AF lenses and Minolta AF lenses are
compatible. Because the camera uses a 23.5 x 15.7mm CCD,
multiply the focal length of the lens by 1.5 to calculate the
approximate equivalent focal length in 35mm. For example, a 17
35mm lens will have a similar angle of view as a 25 52mm lens on
a 35mm camera.

EXPOSURE
Combination in P/A/S/M mode (p. 40, 42-44)
Faster shutter speed can be used with high speed sync with the Program
flash 5600HS(D) or 3600HS(D).
The set and metered exposures are equal.
0.5Ev more than the metered exposure.
Expo ure warning (p. 40, 42-44)
If either or both the aperture and shutter
speed displays blink, the exposure is beyond
the exposure control range of the camera and lens. Adjust the
exposure until the blinking stops.
Program hift (PA/PS) (p. 41)
In P mode, the control dials shift the
aperture/shutter speed combination.
The front dial shifts the shutter speed
and the rear dial the aperture.
Metering in M mode (p. 44)
The Ev scale displays the Ev difference between the set exposure
and the metered exposure. The increments on the scale depend
on the exposure compensation dial position. The examples below
are based on a 0.5 Ev increment.
