·Features of the Crossover System
The ZE-X's Crossover System permits automatic "crossover" between the various AE modes to assure
exposure-perfect photos at all times.
1. Used with the shutter speed priority or aperture priority AE modes, the Crossover System automatically
comes into effect to correct exposure settings, when your preselected shutter speed or aperture will not give you
correct exposure, thus enabling you to obtain the best exposure possible under the prevailing lighting
conditions.
2. With hand-held photography in both the shutter speed priority and aperture priority AE modes, and at all
times with the programmed AE mode, the ZE-Xis designed to maintain a shutter speed which is safe, i.e., above
the "camera shake" limit for the lens in use. So long as exposure conditions permit, you are sure of blurfree
photographs.
3. If a Mamiyalite MZ 36R or MZ 18R auto electronic flash in) is used with this camera, it will not operate
unless the shutter speed in any AE mode drops below the "camera shake" limit.
· "Camera Shake" Prevention
It is the rule of thumb among professional photographers that the slowest shutter speed at which sharp pictures
can be taken with a hand-held camera is the speed closest to the reciprocal of the focal length of the lens in use
counted in seconds. Below this speed, "camera shake" is likely to occur blurring the photograph. The ZE-X is
designed to operate within the following "camera shake" limits depending on the focal length of the lenses as
follows.
