Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What kind of battery does Minolta X-570 use?

A: The camera could be powered by any two Silver oxide batteries freakin’ 1.55 volts (SR44), or by two 1.5 volts Alkaline Manganese batteries (LR44), or even by a single 3 V lithium (CR-1/3N).

Q: What is the Maximum Shutter Speed of the X-570?

A: The maximum shutter speed is 1/1000 second.

Q: Am I limited to using Minolta brand lenses with the X-570?

A: Because the X-570 camera is built to support all accessories and lenses designed for Minolta SLR cameras, it is quite likely that accessories from other makers would not work.

Q: Can you explain how the aperture-priority mode is engaged?

A: In aperture-priority mode, the user specifies an aperture setting, and, in response, the camera selects an appropriate non-automatic shutter speed for exposure purposes.

Q: Can I lock the exposure settings instead of adjusting them before taking the shot again?

A: Of course, the tension in the frame can be relieved as the X-570 allows for the exposure settings to be locked.

Q: I have a Minolta X-570, what film will fit it?

A: This camera does allow the standard 35 mm cartridge film to be loaded and used.

Q: How do I tell when it's time to change my batteries?

A: There is the X-570 which is equipped with an automatic battery controller, and an indicator light in the mode LED which brings light to batteries coming near the end of their lifespan.

Q: Is there any way I can stop the camera from shaking while taking pictures?

A: When the shutter speed is at 1/30 seconds or slower, and it is harsh for handheld operations, the camera would emit a signal, which allows you to modify parameters such as aperture or utilize a tri-pod/flash.
