The T-60 isn't a complete throwback, however, since it comes with an aperture-priority automatic exposure mode in addition to its manual metering.

Switching of both metering mode and exposure mode was electronic.

Exposure compensation was available in all exposure modes.

What they lack is mostly a matter of exposure modes.

In short, simply owning a camera with six high-tech exposure modes doesn't substitute for knowing some basic photo lore.

And yet another button switches on continuous exposure mode, letting you take sequences at a speed of one frame a second.

The T70 supported eight different exposure modes.

Then, by switching to aperture-preferred automatic exposure mode and setting the lens to its maximum aperture, things could have been set right.

Early on, user programming took the form of multiple exposure modes, which were selected by pressing buttons on the camera's top.

In programmed exposure mode, many cameras will alter both parameters at the same time.
