GETTING STARTED
ATTACHING THE STRAP
With the visible protrusions on the inside of the holder ring oriented as shown, pass the tip of the strap through the ring.
1 | 2 | 3 |
Pass the tip of the strap through the camera’s strap eyelet from below and then the holder ring (1). Attach the strap so the tip comes between the strap and the camera.
Thread the tip of the strap through the inside of the buckle and pull to tighten (2). Leave some slack in the camera strap so the tip may be threaded through the buckle easily.
Push the holder ring toward the strap eyelet to secure the strap to the camera (3). Repeat with the other end of the camera strap.
ATTACHING A LENS
This camera uses interchangeable | |
lenses. See page 54 for compatible | |
lenses. Never touch the inside of the | |
camera, especially the lens contacts | |
and mirror. | |
Remove the body and rear lens caps. | |
The arrow on the rear lens cap must | |
be aligned to the lens mounting | |
index. | |
1 | Align the red mounting index on the |
lens and camera body (1). Carefully | |
insert the lens into the mount, then | |
turn it clockwise until it clicks into the | |
locked position. Do not insert the lens | |
at an angle. If it does not fit, check its | |
orientation with the index marks. | |
Never force the lens. | |
REMOVING A LENS | |
Press the lens release all the way in | |
(1) and turn the lens counter- | |
clockwise until it stops. Carefully | |
remove the lens. | |
Replace the caps on the lens and | |
1 | attach the body cap or another lens |
to the camera. |
INSTALLING BATTERIES
Push the battery-chamber door closed until it clicks into place.
The date display will blink when the camera is turned on until the clock and calendar are set. To set the camera’s clock and calendar, see page 18.
The clock and calendar are powered by the camera batteries. If the batteries are removed, the date and time are reset, and the dateimprinting function is disabled. To save the date and time when changing batteries, see page 19.
The camera has a battery-condition indicator. When the camera is on, the indicator appears on the data panel. If the data panel is blank, the batteries may be exhausted or installed incorrectly.
Occasionally, the battery-condition indicator can give a false lowbattery warning, even though power is sufficient for operation. Turn the camera on and off a few times to reset the display.
LOADING FILM
Always load or remove the film under subdued light to reduce the chances of fogging. The camera automatically sets the correct film speed (ISO) with DX-coded film. Ifnon-DX-coded film is used, the camera sets the film speed to ISO25. See page 51 to set the film speed manually.
Slide the back-cover release down to open the camera.
Never touch the shutter curtain with your fingers or the film leader. The curtain’s precision design is extremely sensitive to pressure.
1
Insert the film cartridge into the film chamber. Extend the leader between the guide rails to the film-tip index mark (1). If the film tip extends beyond the index mark, take the cartridge out and rewind the excess film back into the cartridge.
Hold the film cartridge down so that the film lays flat.
Close the back cover. The camera automatically advances the film to the first frame. Take care not to catch the strap when closing the cover.
If the film is loaded correctly, the frame counter indicates the first frame. The film speed (ISO) is displayed on the data panel for 5 seconds.
If the film is loaded incorrectly, 0 blinks in the frame counter. Reload the film.
Camera Notes
Do not use Polaroid Instant 35mm film; winding problems may occur. Infrared film cannot be used as the camera’s frame counter sensor will fog the film. No more than 40 exposures can be taken on one roll. When using 72-exposure film, the camera rewinds the roll after the 40th exposure.
When using DX-coded film, the film speed is set automatically in one Ev increments from ISO 25 to ISO 3200: 25, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, and 3200. Film with speeds not listed are automatically set to the first value below the rated ISO. For example, ISO 125 film is set to ISO 100. Film speed can be set manually in 1/3 Ev increments with the function dial, see page 51.
SETTING DATE AND TIME - DATE MODEL
The camera’s clock and calendar need to be set for date imprinting. The date blinks on the data panel when the camera is turned on if the clock and calendar are not set or have reset because the batteries are exhausted.
Turn the function dial to the date select position (SEL); the calendar is displayed on the data panel. The date format is year, month, day.
1 | Turn the control dial (1) to select the date and |
time registers; the selected register blinks. |
Calendar
To change the selected register, | 2 |
press and hold the function | |
button (2) and turn the control |
dial (3). The camera uses a 24 hour clock so 14:00 is 2pm. The calendar is automatic from the year 2003 to 2039.
Continue until the calendar and clock are set. Turn the function dial to another position to view the standard data panel display. See page 52 on how to use the date imprinting function.
Minolta Maxxum 7xi Manual
CHANGING BATTERIES - DATE MODEL
When the batteries have been removed, the camera’s builtin clock will stop. The following procedure stores the current time and date when the batteries are changed.
Turn the camera on and off with the function dial. The camera stores the current date and time in a memory register each time the camera is turned off or on.
Change the batteries as described on page 14. Turn the camera on. If normal data panel display appears, the clock and calendar did not reset.
If the date blinks on the data panel when the camera is turned on, the clock and calendar reset. See the facing page on how to set the date and time.

HANDLING THE CAMERA
Grip the camera firmly with your right hand, while supporting the lens with your left. Keep your elbows at your side and your feet shoulder-width apart to hold the camera steady. Keep the camera strap around your neck or wrist in the event you accidentally drop the camera.
