per__ystein_pettersen Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 The text below is from this site: http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/minoltaxd711/index.htm "Both "O" and "B" shutter settings are mechanically controlled. With either of these letters aligned with the index, you can view, make exposures, and advance film even though batteries are unserviceable or completely lacking. Turning the shutter speed dial (in any mode setting) to align "O" with the index provides a fixed shutter speed of 1/100 sec. for synchronized exposure with electronic flash or existing continuous light. "O" will appear at the bottom right in the finder frame at this setting and over-range LED will light to indicate mechanical shutter-speed operation." It applies to XD7/11, but I'm pretty sure the '5' operate in the same way. Regards PerO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
