MINOLTA DYNAX 7XI

The Minolta Dynax 7Xi is a 35mm autofocus single-lens reflex (SLR) camera introduced in 1991. It is notable for its innovative automatic functions, including eye-start operation, where the camera begins focusing and can automatically zoom when the photographer brings the camera to their eye. The camera supports Minolta’s program-card system, allowing users to insert pre-programmed chip cards for optimized settings in different shooting scenarios such as landscape, portrait, or sports photography. It also offers full manual control with Program, Aperture priority (A), Shutter priority (S), and Manual (M) exposure modes, and is compatible with all Minolta/Sony A-mount lenses. The 7Xi features a wide range of specifications, including shutter speeds from 30 seconds to 1/8000 second, wireless and built-in pop-up flash with a guide number of 12, multiple metering options, motorized film advance and rewind, and DX-coded ISO setting. The camera operates on a 2CR5 battery and weighs approximately 650 grams.
