KONICA MINOLTA
X-370S
Entry-Level Manual Focus SLR
Minolta’s manual-focus X-Series SLRs have long been favorites of
photography students, amateurs, and professionals alike. With the
aperture-priority X-370s, you set an aperture and the camera sets the
shutter speed for proper exposure. The camera has a full-metered manual
exposure control for the photographer who wants to do it all. Along with
the comprehensive X-Series system of lenses and accessories, the X-370s
gives you system sophistication with simple, dependable operation. It’s the
35mm single-lens-reflex camera system you’ve always wanted to own.
Precise, Creative Control
◆ A number of performance features that let
you take command of every photographic
opportunity. Quartz-controlled circuitry
provides the consistent and dependable
precision needed for outstanding results.
◆ Automatic exposure control with automatic
exposure lock assures proper exposure
under normal and complex lighting
conditions. Viewfinder displays confirm
operating status and exposure information.
Metered manual exposure control provides
unlimited creativity in aperture/shutter
speed combinations.
◆ With a full selection of lenses and
accessories, the X-370s is a system one can
grow with.
Aperture-Priority Exposure
◆ Aperture-priority automatic exposure
control provides accurate exposures under
a wide range of lighting conditions. Simply
set a desired lens aperture, and the camera
selects the appropriate shutter speed step-
lessly from 4 sec. to 1/1000 sec. A shutter
speed scale is displayed in the viewfinder.
◆ As the user rotates the lens’ aperture
selector ring, viewfinder LEDs light up next
to the corresponding shutter speeds, so the
user can also use this method to set
exposure based on a desired shutter speed.
TTL Center-Weighted
Average Metering
Through-the-lens exposure metering reads
the entire image frame with the greatest
emphasis on objects in the center. Center-
weighted metering is a reliable and time-tested
system used by a broad range of photogra-
phers. With the various types of metering
patterns available in today’s electronically
sophisticated SLR cameras, center-weighted
metering still remains in great demand.
AE Lock
By pressing the AE lock button, the user can
lock the exposure reading on the main subject.
Once the exposure is locked, the image can be
recomposed with the subject anywhere in the
viewfinder frame. AE lock is also recommended
if the subject is strongly backlit or if the subject
is off-center and is much lighter or dimmer
than the area at the center of the frame.
Manual Exposure Control
With metered manual exposure control, you
have full control of all aperture and shutter
speed combinations. You can give the photo-
graph more or less exposure as desired, for
exposure bracketing or accurate highlight/
shadow reproduction. The viewfinder displays
exposure over- and under-range indicators so
that ongoing metering may be monitored.

Manual Focusing
◆ For photographers who prefer a manual-
focus SLR, the X-370s is an ideal choice.
The bright viewfinder and acute-matte
focusing screen, together with Minolta’s
X-Series lenses, ensure optimum picture
sharpness.
– X-Series lenses are equipped with large,
knurled focusing rings which provide a sure
grip and just the right amount of resistance
for precise, comfortable operation.
– Minolta’s split-image, acute-matte focusing
screen provides optimum light dispersion
for a bright and clear image that is easy to
focus even in low light.
Automatic
Flash Photography
◆ The X-370S provides automatic flash pho-
tography when used with any of Minolta’s
X-Series flash units. When one of these
flashes is attached to the X-370s’ accessory
shoe and the camera’s mode selector is in
any position other than ‘B’, the shutter
speed is automatically set to 1/60 sec., the
flash-sync speed. A viewfinder LED will
light up next to "60" on the shutter speed
scale and will blink when the flash is fully
charged and ready to fire.
Self-Timer
◆ The 10-second self-timer allows the user to
set up the shot and then appear in the pic-
ture. Self-timer operation is cancelable,
and countdown is indicated by a flashing
LED on the front of the camera body.
