This camera is well appointed with features (including a nice lens with two aspherical elements) and has a very elegant industrial design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe camera requires a CR123A lithium battery (optional). Includes: the rare remote control; the original box; a Minolta case; and the manual. This is the version with an optional date imprinting feature; the calendar goes up to 2029. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe film tested this camera and it delivered sharp, correctly exposed photos (note: we used the date imprinting mode on the tests but this can be switched off) . All modes are working correctly. The camera is good cosmetic condition  except for some marks on the paint because the original owner cleaned it with a solvent (see photos; this is no way affects functionality). We also confirmed the focus and autoexposure accuracy are good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExample photos\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBesides the film-test examples shown, here are some pictures taken by other people using this model of camera under its various names: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.lomography.com\/cameras\/3356378-minolta-capios-75\/photos\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.lomography.com\/cameras\/3356378-minolta-capios-75\/photos\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.lomography.com\/cameras\/3345318-minolta-riva-zoom-70w\/photos\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.lomography.com\/cameras\/3345318-minolta-riva-zoom-70w\/photos\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.lomography.com\/cameras\/3345318-minolta-riva-zoom-70w\/photos\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.lomography.com\/cameras\/3332436-minolta-explorer-freedom-zoom\/photos\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.lomography.com\/cameras\/3332436-minolta-explorer-freedom-zoom\/photos\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.lomography.com\/cameras\/3332436-minolta-explorer-freedom-zoom\/photos\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManual\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.manualslib.com\/manual\/368078\/Minolta-Explorer-Freedom-Zoom.html\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.manualslib.com\/manual\/368078\/Minolta-Explorer-Freedom-Zoom.htm\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLens: 28-70mm f\/3.5-8.4 power zoom lens with 4 elements in 4 groups including 2 aspherical surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocusing: 3-beam, active infrared autofocus system with focus lock; Focusing range: 0.5m - infinity (20 in. - infinity), Macro: 0.4m -1.0 (16 in. - 3.3 ft.); Focusing steps: Approx. 300 (including macro range)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExposure: CdS; external, center-weighted average metering; Exposure range (ISO 100): 28mm: EV 2.6-17 (f\/3.5, 2s - f\/16, 1\/500s), 70mm: EV 3.1 -17 (f\/8.4, 8s - f\/20, 1\/350s)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilm speed range: Automatic setting for DX-coded film ISO 25-3200 in 1 EV steps; Non-DX-coded film set to ISO 25\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilm transport: Auto advance to first frame, auto rewind, auto threading, manual start of rewind possible; continuous drive: 1.2 sec.\/frame (without flash)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlash: Retractable, built-in flash, variable intensity through IGBT circuit; Recycling time: approx. 0.3 - 6 sec.; Range (ISO 100): 28mm: 0.5 - 6.0m (20 in.- 20 ft.), 70mm: 0.5 - 2.5m (20 in. - 8.2 ft.), Macro: 0.4 -1 .Om (16 in. - 3.3 ft.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eViewfinder: Real-image; Field of view: Nominal 86% (subject at 3m\/10 ft.) 28mm: 84% (V) x 87% (H), 70mm: 87% (V) x 85% (H); Diopter adjustment (subject at 3m\/10 ft.): -1 diopter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery: One 3-volt CR123A\/DL123A lithium battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery performance: Approx. 13 rolls (24 exp. roll w\/ 50% flash)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 121 x 66.5 x 44mm (4-3\/4 x 2-5\/8x 1-3\/4 in.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 240g (8-1\/2 oz.); Panorama model: 245g (8-5\/8 oz.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Minolta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48972383322400,"sku":"NWP-PNS-MINOLTA-C75-240717","price":168.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0265\/4401\/3398\/files\/mionolta_capios_75_35mm_film_pns_camera_serial_31101989_20240716_1728.jpg?v=1721184242","url":"https:\/\/www.newwavepool.ca\/products\/minolta-capios-75-35mm-camera-w-case-original-box-manual-serial-31101989","provider":"New Wave Pool","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
