In A and M mode, you can set any aperture within the lens' range. Flash output will be decreased automatically to maintain a correct exposure of your subject. Frame your subject and press and hold the shutter-release button partway down. Press and hold the AE lock button. Continue to hold the AE lock button and press the shutter-release button down completely.
The flash unit has more than one control channel so that if you are working near someone who is using a similar set-up, you will not interfere with each other. The flash must be mounted on the camera when you change the control channel. Attach the flash to the camera and turn it on. Press the flash mode button in the card door, turn either the front or rear control dial, and select remote off camera flash mode. Remove the flash and position it according to the table with its AF illuminator pointing at the subject.
Wait until both the off-camera flash and built-in flash are charged. The flash-ready signal in the viewfinder will blink when the built-in flash is charged. Press the AE lock button to test-fire the off-camera flash and wait again until both flashes are fully charged. Take the picture. Operation is the same as it is with the built-in or an attached flash explained on p. Wait for the flash to recharge and take the picture. Do not release the AE lock button until after you have taken the picture.
Ratio control In remote mode, the built-in flash normally only controls the off-camera flash without effecting the overall exposure. The built-in flash can, however, be set to fire during the exposure so that it provides some fill lighting on your subject. Press and hold the flash pop-up button while you take the picture. In single-frame advance mode, the camera makes one exposure and advances the film one frame each time you press the shutter-release button.
In high-speed continuous mode H , the film is advanced at approximately 4 frames per second for long as you hold the shutter-release button d o w n ; low-speed continuous mode L will provide up to 2 frames per second.
When you operate the camera in either low- or high-speed continuous and autofocus m o d e , the focus setting will be checked and adjusted between each exposure to ensure that moving subjects remain sharply focused. To select the film-drive mode: 1. Open the card door. This speeds operation of the camera and lens and allows you to concentrate more fully on the c o m p o s i t i o n of your photographs.
The following features are available only when you are using an xi-Series Autozoom lens. This position is determined by the subject's distance f r o m the camera and should provide a good starting-point in your c o m p o s i t i o n.
The focal length can also be quickly adjusted f r o m this point with power zoom. If you use power zoom to change ASZ's setting, ASZ will not function again until you remove the camera from your eye and wait 30 sec. To turn off ASZ: 1. Set the main switch to LOCK. Press and hold the lens-function button on the lens barrel while you move the main switch to ON.
Image-size lock is limited by the focal length range of the lens you are using. If either end of the lens focal length range is reached while image-size lock is operating, the lens will stop zooming, but IMAGE LOCK will continue to be displayed in the viewfinder. If your subject comes back into range, Image-size lock will resume operation.
To turn off Image-size lock, release the lens-function button. Press the wide-view-mode button. The camera will automatically set a shorter focal length to give you a wider field of view. Both WIDE and the film-frame indicators will appear in the viewfinder. Compose your picture inside the film-frame indicators.
Press the shutter-release button partway d o w n. The lens will zoom to fill the viewfinder w i t h the part of the image that appears inside the film-frame indicators. Press the shutter-release button d o w n completely to take the picture. Although the lens will zoom to its shortest focal length while wide-view is activated, the view inside the film-frame marks will never be wider than 1. For example, with a mm lens and the camera in wide-view mode, when the lens is set at 28mm, the view inside the film-frame indicators will be the same as a setting of 42mm.
When you press the shutter-release button partway down, the lens will then zoom to 42mm. If you zoom the lens in the tele photo direction while still in wide-view mode, the lens will stop at 70mm, but the image inside the film-frame indicators will show the view at mm. The lens will then zoom to mm when you press the shutter-release button partway down.
However, the image inside the film-frame marks will not be the same as that of your original focal length. Also, w h e n you press the shutter-release button partway d o w n , the lens will zoom forward to 1. For e x a m p l e , if y o u set a 2 8 - 1 0 5 m m lens at 3 5 m m and press the wide-view-mode button, the view inside the film-frame indicators will be that of a 4 2 m m setting, not 3 5 m m.
When you then press the shutter release button partway d o w n , the lens will then zoom to 4 2 m m. Aperture-priority A mode, manual M mode, and PA enable you to vary the size of the aperture in order to directly control a picture's depth of field.
Different situations usually require different amounts of depth. For example, in a portrait situation, you may want to use a larger aperture in order to focus only on the main subject and separate the person from their background.
A small aperture, on the other hand, would be preferable in such cases as landscape photography when you want as much of the scene as possible to appear in focus. Expert Program Selection will automatically set a large aperture in portrait situations so that only your main subject will appear in sharp focus, and a small aperture for landscapes and extreme close-ups to maximize depth of field.
Setting the lens to 28mm, however, extends the range which will appear in focus. Depth of field also depends on subject distance. Without changing lens aperture or focal length in the above case, if you move to 6 ft.
The depth index provides a qualitative method for you to understand the relationship between the above three factors and background sharpness. It not only shows roughly how in-focus the background of your scene will appear, but the indicator will also change position to reflect changes in aperture, focal length, and subject distance which will also effect depth. Fast shutter speeds, of course, are useful to freeze fast action.
Also, if you are using a telephoto lens, a fast shutter speed can help prevent blurring caused by camera shake. The action index provides a simple way for you to visualize approximately how your subject will appear in the final picture.
The camera's expert system compares the speed of your subject's image and compares it to the shutter speed you have selected. It then positions the indicator to illustrate roughly how much the image will be blurred.
In horizontal mode, the brackets follow the "Rule of Thirds," a common rule in photographic composition which states that the important components of a picture should be placed near to the intersections of the lines which divide the frame into thirds both horizontally and vertically.
The horizontal-mode AF brackets lie on those intersection points. This will help to include some of the background in the picture and make a more interesting composition. In the case of a landscape, experiment with different compositions —place the important elements off-center and let the horizon run through one of the one-third dividing lines to give your picture more of a dynamic quality. When the camera is held vertically, the brackets change to reflect changes in the AF area and in composition which you may want to consider before you take the picture.
All of these are, of course, merely suggestions and starting points. Experiment to find the qualities which will make up your own unique style. You will notice that there are no AF sensors located directly beneath any of the brackets.
For this reason, you may have to use focus lock in order to ensure that your main subject is in focus. Manual focusing lenses MD or MC cannot be attached the 7xi. Vignetting may occur w h e n the 7xi's built-in flash is used together with certain lenses; before taking flash pictures with any of the lenses listed below, please check w i t h the nearest Minolta Service Facility.
When used with the 7xi, these units fire whenever a picture is taken regardless of the exposure mode selected. In all exposure modes TTL flash control will operate. The display on the data panel is the same as Automatic Depth Control's.
Settings must be made w i t h front control dial. Because 7xi has no manual aperture b u t t o n , it cannot the vary aperture in M m o d e. Exposure settings for the next frame appear w h e n you take the 7xi away f r o m your eye. The starting point of the exposure series cannot be changed f r o m the settings chosen by Expert Program Selection.
W h e n you insert this card into 7xi, spot metering is automatically activated. Exposure readings are stored by pressings the AE lock button and the number of readings is displayed in the viewfinder data panel. Exposure readings are stored by pressing the AE lock button. Be particularly careful not to leave it in the glove c o m p a r t m e n t or other places in motor vehicles where it may be subjectec to high temperatures.
Doing so may impair their alignment ant movement. Never use organic solvents to clean the camera. Whisk away loose matter with a blower brush. To remove stubborn spots, use a sheet of photographic lens tissue.
Place the camera in a cool, dry place away f r o m dust or chemicals, preferably in an airtight container w i t h a drying agent such as silica gel. Also, it is r e c o m m e n d e d that you periodically release the camera's shutter to maintain proper working condition.
If you use this camera near water or at the beach, water-, dust-, or sand-damage may occur. Protect it f r o m moisture or splashes, especially saltwater spray, and be extremely careful to keep sand f r o m both the interior and exterior of the camera and its accessories.
If it comes in contact w i t h water, w i p e it with a clean, dry cloth and bring it to an authorized Minolta Service facility. If it comes in contact with sand or if sand enters the camera, gently blow away loose p a r t i c l e s - w i p i n g may scratch the camera-and bring it to an authorized Minolta Service facility. If it comes in contact with water, wipe it with a dry cloth and bring it to an authorized Minolta Service facility.
To prevent condensation, place the camera in a sealed plastic bag before transferring it f r o m a cold place to a w a r m environment, and wait for it to come to r o o m temperature before taking it out of the bag. At temperatures outside this range, response time and contrast will change, making the display difficult to read. At very high temperatures, a display may temporarily darken.
If this occurs, the display should return when the camera is restored to operating range conditions. Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the camera yourself. To resume operation, remove the battery and install it again. Battery exhausted. Install a fresh battery Battery not installed correctly.
