METERING IN MANUAL EXPOSURE

The Ev scale in the viewfinder indicates the difference between the set exposure and the exposure determined by the camera meter. Press the shutter-release button partway down to activate the meter. The scale uses half stop or 0.5Ev increments. For more on stops and Ev, see page 31.

The set exposure is one stop less (–) than the exposure determined by the meter.

The arrow indicates the set exposure is two and a half stops more (+) or less (–) than the exposure determined by the meter.

The blinking arrow indicates the set exposure is three or more stops greater (+) or less (–) than the exposure determined by the meter.

Konica Minolta History

We believe innovation and creativity is the cornerstone of our success. The Electro-zoom X was an exercise in camera design and was unveiled at Photokina in 1966.

The Electro-zoom X is an aperture-priority SLR with a built-in 30 - 120mm f/3.5 zoom lens. It took twenty 12 X 17mm images on a roll of 16mm film. The shutter button and battery chamber are located in the grip. Only a few prototypes were built making it one of Minolta’s rarest camera.
