Thank you for purchasing a Minolta camera.
A valuable tool for photographers, the Maxxum/Dynax 7 has been designed with precision in mind to help you capture your photographic vision. As you use the Maxxum/Dynax 7, you will find that its performance and reliability compliment your own photographic expertise and raise your skills to a higher level.
The Maxxum/Dynax 7 features a newly developed 9-point AF system with center dual cross-hair sensors to give great flexibility when composing photographs, and the ability to switch between AF and MF, using the AF/MF control button, without changing holding positions.
This is the first camera ever to incorporate a Navigation display which gives easy to understand information on camera operation and Custom functions, available in 5 languages. Combined with the conventional lever and dial controls, the Navigation display provides flexible and clear operation.
This manual has been designed to help you understand the operation of your camera and its functions. Please familiarize yourself with the names of the controls and their locations on the camera, then read the Basic Operation section. Once you’ve mastered basic operation, move on to the Detailed Operation section to expand your expertise.
