MINOITA

X-300s/X-3jONMAN~

Your

Minolta

X-300s

/370N 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"

the

camera), the X-300s/370N auto-

matica"y

sets

the

precise

shutter

speed, according to

the

in-camera meter for correct exposure, at

the

aperture you selected.

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

clo

.se

-upaccessories such as

bellows-not

possible

with

shutter-priority AE systems.

Creative

flexibility

exists in

the

X-300s

/370N'S match-

LED

fu"-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/

sec.

The X-

300s

/370N can

used

with

Minolta's wide range of accessories, such as wideangle,

telephoto, and zoom lenses,

Motor

Drive

Auto Winder G, and much more.

Before using

lenses,

flashes,

other

accessories made

companies

other

than Minolta,

attach them

the

camera and make sure

they

function

properly

tak

test photographs.
