Minolta X-370S - Page 2

Your Minolta X-370s is an easy-to-use microcomputerized single-iens-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-370s auto¬
magically sets the precise shutter speed, according to the in-camera meter for correct exposure,
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-370s' match-LED/full-metered manual mode: For correct
exposure at the metered value, simply adjust aperture and/or shutter speed to align blinking and
glowing LEDs in the viewfinder. Or you can also 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.
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.
