| Camera Type 35mm SLR with built-in flash, autoexposure (AE) and omni-dimensional predictive autofocus (AF). | Lens Mount Minolta A-type bayonet mount | Film Type 35mm film | Eye-start Automation AF and AE automatically activated/deactivated by combination of eyepiece and grip sensors. Eye-start is turned on/off by eye-start switch. | AF System Type: Minolta's through-the-lens (TTL) phase-detection system with 3 CCD sensors. Activated by pressing the AF button or shutter-release button partway down, auto/manual focus switchable manually. Omni-Dimensional Predictive Focus Control for moving subjects. | AF Modes: Single-shot, continuous, automatic autofocus mode | Focus area: Wide focus area | AF sensitivity: EV -1 to 18 (at ISO 100) | AF illuminator: Built-in 3 beam LED; automatically activated in low-light/low contrast situations; range: 2-5/16 - 22-15/16 ft. (based on Minolta test methods with standard 50mm lens) | Manual Focusing By monitoring focus signals in viewfinder screen. | Metering Type: Ambient: 14-segment honeycomb pattern metering. | Flash: 4-segment flash metering, average metering and local focus area aligned spot metering selectable in Custom Function; automatically activated by pressing the AE-lock button, AF button, or the shutter-release button partway down. | Metering cell: 14-segment honeycomb pattern SPC (silicon photocell), 4-segment flash-metering SPC. | Metering range: 14-segment honeycomb pattern metering: EV -20; Center-weighted average metering: EV 0 - 20; Spot metering (3/16 in.): EV 3 - 20 (based on Minolta standard test method at ISO 100 with f/1.4 lens). | Exposure Modes Programmed AE (P mode): Programmed control of aperture and shutter speed based on lens specifications and scene characteristics; PA and Ps mode selectable in Custom Function. | Aperture Priority (A mode): Aperture selectable in 1/2 EV or 1/3 EV increments, shutter speed from 1/12000 to 30 sec. set by autoexposure program. | Shutter Priority (S mode): Shutter speed from 1/12000 to 30 sec. manually selectable in 1/2 EV or 1/3 EV increments, aperture set by autoexposure program. | Manual Exposure (M mode): Any shutter speed/aperture selectable in 1/2 EV or 1/3 EV increments; correct, over-/under-exposure indicated in viewfinder; BULB also selectable. | Exposure Compensation Exposure compensation dial control: | -/+ 3 EV in 1/2 EV increments | -/+ 2 EV in 1/3 EV increments | Rear dial control: | -/+ 3 EV in 1/2 EV increments | -/+ 3 EV in 1/3 EV increments | Flash Compensation -/+ 3 EV in 1/2 EV increments | Exposure Lock Exposure locked automatically with AF lock (available only in 14segment honeycomb-pattern metering), or with AE-lock button. | Shutter Electronically-controlled, vertical-traverse, focal-plane type | Range: 1/12000 - 30 sec. plus BULB; Flash sync: 1/300 sec. or slower. With shutter speeds faster than 1/300 sec., camera will automatically switch to HSS mode (only with Program Flash 5400HS). | Built-in Flash Type: Built-in | Guide number: 39 (in feet at ISO 100); flash coverage for 24mm angle of view Recycling time: Approx. 2.5 sec. | Control: Manual switchover; lift-up for fill flash, push down for flash cancel | Flash modes: Fill-flash, fill-flash with red-eye reduction (pre-flash), flash cancel, wireless off-camera flash (with or without 2:1 ratio), slow sync, rear-flash sync; High Speed Sync (HSS) flash available with Program Flash 5400HS. | ISO Setting Automatic setting for DX coded films: ISO 25 - 5000 (in 1/3 EV increments) DX-coded ISO range with flash: ISO 25-1000; non DX-coded fill is set to the previous ISO. | Manual setting: ISO 6 - 6400 (in 1/3 EV increments) | Film Transport Automatic with build-in motor drive; auto threading, auto advance to first frame; auto rewind, manual start of rewind. | Mid reload: Available in Custom Function | Rewind time (24 exposures): High-speed rewind; approx. 5 sec.; low-speed (silent) rewind: available in Custom Function. | Drive modes: Single-frame advance, continuous advance selectable from 5.5 frames/sec. (4.5 frames/sec. in continuous AF mode), or 2 frames/sec., single-frame advance exposure-bracketing selectable from 3-, 5-, or 7-exposure series in either 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, or 1.0 EV increments, continuous advance exposure-bracketing selectable from 3-, 5-, or 7-exposure series in either 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, or 1.0 EV increments. | Self-timer: Electronic with approx. 10 sec. delay, cancelable, or 2 sec. delay with delayed shutter mirror lock-up function. | Multiple exposure: 2 or more exposures. | Viewfinder Type: Eye-level fixed pentaprism | Focusing screen: Spherical acute matte, user-interchangeable screens available. | Field of View: Approx. 100% x 100% of film frame; magnification: 0.73X (with 50mm lens focused at infinity) | Diopter: -1 diopter adjustable from -3 to +1 | Eye-relief: High-eyepoint (7/8 in. from the eyepiece, 3/4 in. from the eyepiece frame); eyepiece shutter available; eyepiece cup removable. | Data Memory Stores photographic data of up to 7 rolls of 36 exposures on aperture, lens focal length, exposure compensation/exposure bracketing increments, shutter speed, flash compensation/flash bracketing increments (including flash on/off status), exposure mode, and metering mode. | Others Remote-control terminal (with a sliding lid). 21 Custom Functions, depth-of-field preview, backlit data panel, screw-type PC terminal (available to both center-positive and center-negative polarities). | Power Source Two 3-volt CR123A/DL123A lithium batteries, 4-stage indicator appears when camera is tuned on. | Battery Performance: Approximately 20 rolls (based on Minolta’s standard test method using 24-exposure rolls and flash on 50% of the exposures). | Dimensions (WxHxD) 6-1/8 x 4-3/8 x 2-15/16 in. | Weight (without camera batteries) 32-1/8 oz. | |
