About Minolta Maxxum 5 35mm SLR Kit With 28-100 Lens
From the Manufacturer Introducing the Maxxum 5--the world's smallest and lightest 35mm AF SLR. It's easy to pack, carry, and handle, so you can instantly react on your creative impulses anytime and anywhere. Plus, the Maxxum 5 houses a powerful array of high-performance features that will quickly satisfy beginner photographers and yet be valuable tools for photo hobbyists. If you want a true take-anywhere SLR, the little Maxxum 5 is the big winner. This package also includes a 28-100mm zoom lens. 7-point AF system indicates focus area in use High-speed 1/4000 sec. shutter freezes action Continuous film advance at 3 frames per second 14-segment metering plus ADI flash metering Film chamber lock protects loaded film Eye-start automation provides a split-second response Built-in flash with wireless off-camera flash control World's Smallest and Lightest 35mm AF SLR The Minolta Maxxum 5 measures only 5 x 3.42 x 2.38 inches and weighs in at 11.8 ounces without batteries. It's the AF SLR camera you'll want to (and be able to) take along wherever you go. Fastest Autofocusing in its Class The Maxxum 5's high-response autofocus system makes sure your once-in-a-lifetime moments will be razor sharp. This new-generation Maxxum features an improved high-power AF drive motor and high-speed microcomputer for quicker and more precise AF control. It tracks even fast action and random movements effortlessly, right up to the moment the shutter releases. 7-Point Autofocus System with Wide Focus Area The Maxxum 5 uses Minolta's new 7-point AF system. The focus sensors are laid out in a wide area to the "rule of thirds," so you have the creative flexibility of positioning your subject anywhere within the focus frame. The center crosshair sensor keeps the focus sharp regardless of vertical or horizontal subject contrast. Selected Focus Area Indication When using the wide focus frame, you'll always know exactly what your Maxxum 5 is focusing on. Minolta's LED-illuminated superimposition technology highlights the focus sensor being used. Selectable Focus Areas For creative image compositions, you may want to switch between the wide focus area and the local focus areas to single out an off-center subject without recomposing the shot. No problem with the Maxxum 5 - its local focus areas can be individually selected. Selectable Autofocus Modes For maximum autofocus control, the Maxxum 5 has three AF modes: single-shot, continuous/predictive, and automatic. Single-shot AF locks focus on stationary subjects. Continuous/predictive AF tracks moving subjects right up to and during the moment of shutter-release. Automatic AF determines whether the subject is moving or still, and automatically selects single-shot or continuous/predictive AF. Eye-Start Automation Sometimes a perfect photo opportunity happens in the blink of an eye. The Maxxum 5 is ready when you are -- with Eye-Start automation. Eye Start saves precious seconds and activates autofocus and autoexposure the instant you bring the camera to your eye. With one quick action, the camera starts working so you won't miss a split-second moment. High-Speed 1/4000 Sec. Shutter and 1/125 Sec. Flash Sync The Maxxum 5 is all about speed, precision, and power. That's why it features a top shutter speed of 1/4000 second, which can stop fast action or let you take beautiful portraits using large apertures under strong light. The Maxxum 5 also features a maximum flash sync speed of 1/125 second. 3 fps Continuous Film Advance For capturing action as it unfolds, set the Maxxum 5 for continuous film advance. The film advances at 3 frames per second as long as you hold the shutter-release button down. Depth-of-Field Preview This professional feature lets you check the zone of sharp focus at a given aperture before taking the picture. DOF preview is especially useful to check subject and background sharpness when using small apertures, or to see the extent of sharp detail in macro photography. 14-Segment Honeycomb-
