not enough for proper operation. With batteries running low, there is a partial
functionality: the camera works but the LEDs in the viewfinder do not light up.
Shooting with flash light and slow shutter speeds is possible using the dedicated
Minolta PX series flashes. Pressing the AE Look [AEL] button locks the exposure in
ambient light, keeping the button pressed triggers the flash and during shooting the
camera sets the shutter speed appropriate to the ambient light and the flash
emphasizes the foreground more without the background being particularly dark. This
is thanks to the TTL reading of the flash light.
There are eight other types of focusing patterns available, in addition to the one fitted
as standard (PM). The replacement of the screens must be performed by an
Authorized Minolta Technical Assistance Laboratory as a new calibration of the
exposure meter is required. Horizontal split-image P1 type for general photography; P2
type split image for general shooting with f/2.8 or larger aperture lenses; Pd type with
diagonally broken image for general shooting; type M with central area with
microprisms, without image splitting for general shooting; type G with the entire frosted
area suitable for photographs with strong telephoto lenses or at close range; type L
with entire frosted area and with grating to facilitate the composition of the frame; type
S with graduated orthogonal scales suitable for macrophotography, microphotography
and astrophotography; type H with transparent central area and double central cross
suitable for micrography, macrography and astronomical photography.
