Super-macro indicator

Super Macro allows the camera to focus as close as 4 cm (1.7
in.) from the front of the lens or 11 cm (4,3 in.) from the CCD.
Press the macro button (1) to activate the function; the lens
automatically zooms to the Super-Macro position of 9.7mm.

The zoom can be used, but the macro range changes with focal
length. The standard macro indicator is displayed when the focal
length is changed.

The following chart lists the Super Macro and standard macro
ranges. All distances are measured from the CCD.

Innovation and creativity is the cornerstone of Minolta’s success.
The Electro-zoom X was an exercise in camera design and
received a great deal of attention when it was unveiled at
Photokina in 1966.
The Electro-zoom X was an electronically controlled aperture-priori-
ty mechanical SLR with a built-in 30 - 120mm f/3.5 zoom lens giv-
ing twenty 12 X 17mm images on a roll of 16mm film. The shutter-
release button and battery chamber are located in the grip. Only a
few prototypes were built making it one of Minolta’s rarest camera.
