Approximate location of CCD plane

Two macro modes are available: Super Macro and standard macro. Super Macro allows the camera to focus as close as 3 cm (1.7 in.) from the front of the lens or 10 cm (3.5 in.) from the CCD. When Super Macro is selected, the lens automatically zooms to the 11.1mm focal-length position and cannot be changed. Standard macro allows the zoom to be used. The minimum focus distance changes with focal length, see below.

Press the macro button (1) to select the macro mode. The modes cycle among standard macro, Super Macro, and off.

The following chart lists the Super Macro and standard macro ranges. All distances are measured from the CCD.

Super Macro (at a focal length of 11.1mm) 10 - 107cm (4.3 - 42.1 in.)

Standard macro

Wide-angle position: 14 - 107cm (6.7 - 42.1 in.)

Telephoto position: 127 - 257cm (50.0 - 101 in.)

Konica Minolta History

Innovation and creativity is the cornerstone of Minolta’s success. The Electro-zoom X was an exercise in camera design and received a great deal of attention when it was unveiled at Photokina in 1966.

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