The battery condition indicator displays the power status of the batteries when the main switch is set to ON. Full-battery symbol Power is sufficient for all camera operations. Low-battery symbol Power is low , but all functions are operational. Keep a fresh battery handy .
13 12 LENS Attaching the Lens 1. Remove the body and rear lens caps. 2. Align the mounting indexes. 3. Insert the lens into the mount and turn it clockwise until it clicks into the locked position. • Do not press the lens release when mounting the lens.
15 14 BASIC OPERA TION Before loading film for the first time… Remove and discard the film gate protector . LOADING FILM Check the film window before loading film. If film is loaded, do not open the back cover . Refer to Manual Rewind on page 24 to remove a partially exposed roll.
17 16 LOADING FILM 2. Insert a film cartridge into the film chamber . 3. Extend the leader between the guide rails to the index mark. • If the film tip extends beyond the index mark, push the excess film back into the cartridge. 4. Close the back cover and turn the main switch to ON.
19 18 T AKING PICTURES IN FULL–AUTO 1. T urn the main switch to ON. 3. Center your subject in the focus frame, then press the shutter-release button partway down. • The local-focus area LED appears briefly indicating the focus area selected by the camera.
20 21 SPECIAL FOCUS SITUA TIONS The camera may not be able to focus in situations like those described below . When the focus signal blinks, use focus hold (p.21) or manual focus (p.33). See page 19 for an explanation of the focus signals. If the subject within the focus frame is very bright, or low in contrast.
Slide the flash-mode switch to to reduce the red- eye effect when using the built-in flash. • Red-eye reduction mode is only available with the built-in flash. 23 22 USING THE BUIL T -IN FLASH When up, the built-in flash fires every time the shutter is released to provide coverage for focal lengths as wide as 24mm.
24 REWINDING THE FILM 1. W ait until the film is completely rewound. • will appear and will blink in the data panel. Automatic Rewind The film is automatically rewound after the last frame is exposed (or 36 exposures).
Predictive Focus Control determines the subject’s speed, position, and acceleration changes from the focus sensor data, then sets the best focus at the predicted point of exposure. Predictive focus control is always active in the Automatic and Continuous autofocus modes.
FOCUS — Autofocus Modes 29 28 Continuous Autofocus (C) Use Continuous Autofocus when shooting sporting events or when you know the subject will be in constant motion. Center your subject in the focus frame, then press the shutter-release button partway down to activate autofocus.
The selected focus area momentarily appears in the viewfinder frame when the shutter release button is pressed partway down. • The focus area LEDs do not appear when continuous autofocus (p.29) is selected. The camera determines which sensor is focusing on your subject and sets the focus accordingly .
FOCUS — Manual Focus FOCUS — AF Lock 33 32 Pull and turn the zoom ring until your subject appears sharp. Focus the lens manually when autofocus is not suitable and focus hold is not possible. The autofocus system will monitor focus and indicate when a subject in the focus frame is in focus.
FOCUS — AF Illuminator 34 In low-light / low subject contrast situations, the AF illuminator automatically projects a pattern of lines onto the subject for the camera’s AF sensors to focus on. • Do not to obstruct the AF illuminator . • Pressing the AF button (p.
37 EXPOSURE — A-Mode 36 EXPOSURE — P-Mode Select P-mode (Programmed Autoexposure) when you want to give your full attention to your subject and composition.
If the aperture display in the viewfinder and the data panel blinks, the required setting is outside the aperture range of the lens. T urn the control dial until the blinking stops.
EXPOSURE — M-Mode EXPOSURE — S-Mode 41 40 S-mode Flash When the built-in flash is up or an attached accessory flash is on, it will fire each time a picture is taken. Flash exposure is controlled by the camera’s TTL automatic flash metering system.
43 42 Metering in Manual Mode The meter index displays the EV difference between your settings and the ‘correct’ exposure determined by the camera. The 0 position (null point) represents the recommended exposure using the currently selected metering pattern (pp.
METERING — Selectable Metering 45 14 Segment Honeycomb Pattern Metering Fourteen-Segment Honeycomb-Pattern Metering uses information from the autofocus system to set the metering pattern according to the position of the main subject.
47 46 METERING — Selectable Metering Spot Metering Spot metering uses only the center honeycomb segment to meter the image. • The spot-metering area indicates the metering area.
49 48 METERING — Automatic Exposure Lock (AEL) Press the AE-lock button to lock the exposure using the currently selected metering pattern without locking the focus. The exposure remains locked until the AE-lock button is released. • Pressing the AE-lock button sets the flash to slow sync mode (p.
Select setting 2 to view the exposure compensation value in the data panel when the exposure compensation dial is set to a value other than 0. More exposure is recommended when the scene is primarily white tones. Less exposure is recommended when the scene is composed of darker tones or shadows.
METERING — Setting the ISO Manually 52 Set the ISO manually to override the DX-coded ISO or when using non-DX coded film. • Non-DX coded film is initially set to the previous roll’s ISO. Film must be loaded before the ISO can be changed. 1. Open the control panel door and press the ISO button.
55 54 DRIVE – Advance Mode This camera has both single frame and continuous advance drive modes. Select single frame advance to expose and advance the film one frame at a time. Switch to continuous drive to photograph dynamic action sequences at up to 5.
DRIVE – Self-Timer 57 56 5. Center your subject in the focus frame, then press the shutter- release button part way down to confirm the focus. • The shutter will be released even if the focus is not confirmed. 6. Press the shutter-release button all the way down to start the timer .
DRIVE – Exposure Bracketing 59 58 3. T urn the front control dial to set the bracketing increment (0.3, 0.5, 0.7, or 1.0 EV). 6. Compose and meter your subject, then press the shutter-release button all the way down to start the bracket. • Exposure is locked on the first frame of the series.
DRIVE — Multiple Exposure 61 60 The meter in your camera determines exposure (EV) based on the assumption that only one exposure will be made on each frame. When making multiple exposures, the EV for each additional exposure needs to be reduced or over exposure will result.
63 FLASH — Four Segment Flash Metering FLASH Four segment flash metering uses data from the focus sensors to control the output of the built-in and/or attached accessory flashes. The TTL flash metering system determines the flash exposure of the area inside the selected focus area after the shutter has been released.
FLASH – Rear-Flash Sync FLASH – Slow Sync 65 64 In P and A-modes, slow-shutter sync sets a slower shutter speed to increase the background or ambient exposure in a flash picture. Flash output is automatically decreased to maintain correct subject exposure.
FLASH — Flash Compensation FLASH — High Speed Sync 67 66 The maximum sync speed for this camera is 1/300. However , with the 5400HS accessory flash (sold separately) shutter speeds up to 1/12000 can be used. High-speed sync (HSS) allows faster shutter speeds when fill flash is used on moving subjects outdoors.
FLASH – Flash Bracketing 69 68 Use flash bracketing to expose 3, 5, or 7 frame flash exposure brackets in 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, or 1.0 EV increments. Exposures are bracketed by controlling the flash output. • A larger bracketing increment is recommended when shooting negative film.
FLASH — Wireless/Remote Off-Camera 71 70 Wireless/Remote Flash is available with the Minolta 5400HS, 5400xi, and 3500xi accessory flashes. Wireless/Remote flash lets you experience the creative control available with an accessory flash.
