Besides the exposure variation dial, there's also another method of insuring compensate exposures with the exposure
memory button. This method permits you to make a direct light reading without guesswork. The exposure memory
button may be used to compensate exposures with any AE mode.
Direct reading of the subject:
Walk up directly to your subject and make an exposure reading of the subject or part of the subject you wish to
emphasize by pressing the shutter button partway. Next, without leaving go of the shutter button, press the exposure
memory button to lock the exposure reading on your subject. Keeping the shutter button depressed partway (you may
leave go of She exposure memory button) walk back to the spot where you wish to take the photo, focus and press the
shutter button the rest of the way to take the photo. 4www.butkus.org
Manual Exposures
The manual exposure mode of the ZE-X permits free selection of both aperture and shutter speed to give you full
command of the camera when required for special effects and creative photography. Manual exposures with the ZE-X
are non-metered. Set both the aperture ring and shutter speed dial to the desired aperture and shutter speed settings.
Make sure the exposure variation dial is set to "O" (this doesn't function for manual operation).
While the camera controls are set for manual, an "M" will appear inside the viewfinder to inform you; no other
indications are given.
When the shutter speed dial is set at "B" the shutter will remain open as long as the shutter button is depressed. The
aperture must be set manually. An "M" will appear in the viewfinder when you press the shutter button partway.
B (Bulb) for Long Exposures
· The use of an optional cable release adapter, lockable cable release and sturdy tripod are recommended to prevent
camera shake.
· Also, since long exposures present a real drain on the batteries, we recommend to use fairly new batteries.
· The self-timer doesn't operate for "B" setting.
· If the aperture ring is set at the white button (auto) with the shutter dial set at "B" the shutter does not release; the
"M" indication flashes in the viewfinder to warn you to reset the aperture.
