EVF Mode

The frame rate of the EVF can be specified; the monitor is not
affected. This is set in section 4 of the recording menu (p. 80). Two
options are available:

Quality 30fps - high-resolution VGA (640x480) viewfinder image at
30 frames per second.

Motion 60fps - smooth 60 frames-per-second viewfinder image for
use with moving subjects. Half VGA (640x240) resolution. If full-
time AF (p. 143) or movie recording is used, the frame rate is set to
30fps.

On February 20th, 1962, John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth. On board
his Friendship 7 spacecraft was a Minolta Hi-matic camera to record that historic event. The 4
hour, 55 minute, and 23 second flight orbited the Earth three times at an average speed of
28,000 kph (17,500 mph).

Mr. Glenn visited our Sakai camera factory in Japan on May 24th,
1963 to plant a palm tree to celebrate the occasion. The palm tree
is still in the courtyard of the factory and stands over eight meters
tall (26ft).

The camera? It was not lost. It is on display at the
Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space
Museum in Washington D.C. This and other objects
from John Glenn’s Friendship 7 Mercury flight can be
found in galley 210, “Apollo to the Moon.”
