All focusing screens adopt bright and easy-to-focus acute-angle mesh full-field focusing screens. Changing the focus screen requires precise adjustment. Please take the camera to Minolta's maintenance station for replacement.

Remote control lines s and l

Use this cable when using a tripod, etc. , to prevent camera shake. L-ray is suitable for shooting wild birds and other animals that can't get close to being photographed.

Electric handle

With the multi-function camera back, you can take flash photography at long intervals. It also has the function of reflecting light, a button that can open the shutter by holding the handle and an automatic stop charging mechanism.

Precautions for cameras

After taking pictures along the coast, please carefully wipe the salt on the camera surface with a soft cloth.
