Help

[RoyZ]

I purchased a Minolta AF MACRO 100mm 1:2.8 (32) D lens a couple of years ago. I haven't used it in the past two years, I was hoping some one could shed some light on what the 2 selector switches do.

one is a two position switch and has a FULL position and a LIMIT position.

The other is a push button which all I can see is it holds open the shutter (I Think)

I (think) I have the instructions at my home in Louisiana, but I am in Arizona.

Thanks for any help.

position.

This is the focus range. It blocks the lens from focusing past 3 ft or so...in either direction. Thus limiting it to macro range (inside 3 ft) or normal range (outside 3 ft).

The other is a push button which all I can see is it holds open the
shutter (I Think)

Nope. It's normally used for focus hold, but can be programmed to DOF preview (or possibly another function) by settings in the camera.
