Minolta 800si instruction manual CLOSE-UP Mode, Sports Mode

CLOSE-UP MODE

Use Close-up mode when photographing objects from short distances. Close-up photography requires accurate focusing; use focus hold or manual focus to ensure sharp focus. The camera will select the best possible aperture and shutter speed for your subject.

Press and hold the subject- program button.

Turn either control dial until appears alone in the data panel.

Release the subject-program button.

Tips:

•For best results, use an AF macro lens.

•Do not use the built-in flash when your subject is closer than 1 meter.

•Use a tripod to reduce camera shake.

•Be aware of the minimum focus distance of the lens.

SPORTS MODE

Select Sports mode when faster shutter speeds are needed to stop action. In Sports mode, the camera sets the fastest possible shutter speed and continually adjusts the focus to track fast-moving subjects.

Press and hold the subject- program button.

Turn either control dial until appears alone in the data panel.

Release the subject-program button.

Tips:

•Use fast film and keep the focus frame on your subject.

•Mount the camera on a tripod when using a telephoto lens.

•Flash is only helpful if the subject is within the flash range.
