Built in Time Exposure mode of EC

<H3> Timed Expousre Mode T of Minox EC </h3>

I discover that Minox EC has a built in T function, ie, the

shutter can remain open indefinely

<p>

It is very simple, take out the battery of EC, the camera

immediately is in T mode. press the release button, the shutter

open indefintely

<p>

Close the camera or put back the battery immediately close

the shutter

This T function of EC is very useful for long expousre photography

with EC

<p>

No wonder why so many used EC you see in stores have open shutter

because there are on T mode, as the battery in camera is dead

There is a thread in

where I explained in more detail.

Minox C/LX/TLX also works in the same way, however, only for

one cycle.

<p> Take out the batter from C/LX/TLX, put in the film

press the release, the shutter open indefinetely, and does not

consume any current, nor overload the solenoid. Hoever it works

only one cycle.

<p> Note: the built in Times exposure T mode of C is between

A and 1000, for TLX is between A and 2000.

During the T mode of C/LX/TLX, the camera does not drain current

nor overload the solenoid,

so it is a very useful for long exposure.
