Minolta X-300 - Page 3

Your
Minolta
X-300
is an easy-to-use
microcomputerized
single-lens-reflex
(SLR)
camera
with
quartz
control
of
mechanical
sequences
and shutter
speed,
providing
lasting
accuracy
and
years
of
enjoyment.
In its
aperture-priority
auto-exposure
(AE)
mode
("AUTO"
on the camera),
the
X-300
auto-
matically sets
the
precise
shutter speed
for
correct exposure
according
to the in-camera
meter
at
the aperture
you
selected. An
AE lock can
be
used
to
hold
a meter reading
and then
readjust
the
framing
before
releasing
the shutter. Auto control
is maintained
even
when
using mirror
lenses
and
close-up accessories
such
as bellows-not
possible
with
shutter-priority
AE
systems.
Creative
flexibility
exists in
the X-300's match-LED/full-metered
manual
mode:
For
correct
exposure
at
the
metered value,
simply
adjust
aperture
and/pr
shutter
speed
to align blinking
and
glowing
LEDs in
the
viewfinder.
Or
you
can merely
refer
to
these
LEDs-or
totally disregard
them-when
making
your
own settings.
Flash
photography
is
also
simple:
just
attach a Minolta X-series
Auto Electroflash,
adjust
aperture,
and shoot.
Flash-ready
signal is
given
in the
viewfinder,
and the shutter is
automatically
set
for
proper
sync
at 1/60 sec.
The
X-300
can be used
with Minolta's
wide
range
of
accessories,
such as wideangle,
telephoto,
and
zoom
lenses,
Motor Drive
1, Auto Winder G,
Wireless
Controller lR-l,
and
much more.
Before using
lenses, flashes,
or other accessories made
by companies
other than Minolta,
attach
them to
the
camera
and make sure
they
function
properly
by
taking test
photographs.
