Your Minolta X-7A
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
cameral. the X-7A
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-7 A's match-LEO/full-metered manual mode: For correct
exposure
at
the
metered value, simply adjust aperture
and/or
shutter
speed
to
align blinking and
glowing LEOs
in
the
viewfinder. Or you can merely refer
to
these
LEOs-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-7 A can be used with Minolta's wide range of accessories, such
as
wideangle, telephoto,
and zoom lenses, Motor Orive 1,
Auto
Winder
G,
Wireless Controller IR-1, 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.
