I assume you select the aperture on the MZ-30 by holding down the exposure
compensation button while flicking the selector switch to change the aperture
just like on the MZ-7?
At the time I was unaware of been able to change the aperture while leaving the
aperture ring on the MZ-7 in the A position and setting the mode dial to M and
doing the above. Its amazing what you learn when you read the manual completely
:- )
