2.3. DYNAX/MAXXUM LENS CHART 7
blur a distracting background while keeping both the subject’s nose and ears in focus. In selecting an
aperture-shutter speed combination, the system considers such factors as focal length, subject reflectance
and contrast, subject distance and type, and the reproduction ratio, or degree of magnification. The system
then selects an appropriate combination of aperture and shutter speed for the situation, however it will try
to maintain a hand-holdable shutter speed, such as 1 60 second shutter speed with a 50 mm lens, to reduce
the risk of blur from hand held camera shake.
To disable AF Auto Focus lens to Shutter interlock, hold the ISO Button and the Lens Mount Button
while turning the camera ON.
Automatic Exposure Bracketing: Automatic Exposure Bracketing drive mode exposed 3 consecutive
images, one at normal EV Exposure Value, plus one at 1 2 stop EV Exposure Value and then one at
1 2 stop EV Exposure Value, which is a rather narrow exposure range best suited for the sensitivity and
dynamic range of slide film. For other film, you can use manual Exposure Compensation control, perhaps
taking two additional frames, one at +1 or greater and the other at the +2 or greater setting.
Multiple Multiple Exposures: Although you can pre-set a maximum of nine exposures on one frame of
film, you can actually achieve any number. If you want to shoot 16, for example, merely reset the Multiple
Exposure feature to 8 after shooting the first 8.
Body Depth: The depth of the Minolta lens mount to film plane is 44.7mm.
Setting DX Film For More Than 24 or 36 Frames: The Minolta 507si, 600si and 650si camera will
rewind the film immediately after the last frame of 24 or 36 exposures as sensed by the DX coding on
the film can. The selected Aperture and Shutter Speed values will disappear immediately after the last
exposure when rewind begins preventing you from viewing and recording these values.
To wind to the true end of your film and expose additional available frames, scrape the paint off the
film can DX sections 8, 9 and 10. The camera will then rewind only when film advance is not possible due
to reaching the true end of the film, or if you manually press the Rewind Button.
This permits you to manually rewind after recording your Aperture and Shutter Settings after the final
frame, either 24 or 36, or to expose an additional frame. However, be aware that rewind will begin imme-
diately after the final exposure, so watch for and record you final frame Aperture and Shutter Speed before
or during the final exposure.
