We ran three film rolls of film through it and it showed no hesitancy or issues advancing film. It's possible that this noise is normal for part of this camera's production run (we have another camera with a close serial number with the same noise). All other features are working well. We reduced the camera's price due to this noise. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Minolta Freedom Action Zoom (also sold as the Riva Zoom Pica) is a rugged and compact 35mm film camera with a 38-60mm lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's how it was described by Minolta in a 1993 catalog:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eThe smallest, lightest camera in its class, the Minolta Freedom Action Zoom gives you the advantage of a super-sharp 38-60mm power zoom lens, capable of handling anything from wide-angle scenic shots to natural-looking portraits.The newly-designed lens provides a new standard of performance with a more compact configuration. Your photos will have outstanding contrast and color. The viewfinder automatically zooms with changes in the lens to give you accurate framing for more effective composition.The Freedom Action Zoom also permits photography to 24 inches from the camera and provides a full range of automatic shutter speeds from 1 second to 1\/500 second. Operation is simple and fully automatic -just point the camera at your subject and enjoy the results when your film returns from the photofinisher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe camera's functions were tested with batteries and a roll of film (the film was not developed). As mentioned above the camera's motor is noisy. All modes are working correctly. We verified both the autoexposure and focus are working correctly. The camera is in good cosmetic condition (see photos) with some minor wear on the body. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExample photos\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere are some example photos that other people have taken with this model of camera: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.lomography.com\/cameras\/3335047-minolta-riva-zoom-pico\/photos\" title=\"Minolta Freedom Action Zoom example photos\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.lomography.com\/cameras\/3335047-minolta-riva-zoom-pico\/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.cameramanuals.org\/minolta_pdf\/minolta_riva_zoom_pico_freedom_action.pdf\" title=\"Minolta Freedom Action Zoom manual\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.cameramanuals.org\/minolta_pdf\/minolta_riva_zoom_pico_freedom_action.pdf\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLens: 38-60mm f\/4.3-6.4 power zoom lens; 4 elements in 4 groups; max. magnification: 1\/10X (for subjects at 0.6m with 60mm lens)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetering Range(ISO 100): 38mm: EV4.2 to EV15; 60mm: EV5.4 to EV16.2; in flash-cancel and night-portrait modes, shutter speed is set to 1 sec.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery Performance: Approximately 15 rolls (based on Minolta's standard test method using 24 exposure film with flash 50% of exposures)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eViewfinder Magnification: 38mm: 0.45x; 60mm: 0.65x\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImage Area: 85% coverage (for subject at 3m\/9.8 ft.)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 132.5(W) x 70.5(H) x 43.5mm(D)* (5-3\/16 x 2-3\/4 x 1-11\/16 in.)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e*QD model: 48mm (D) (1-7\/8 in.)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight (without battery): 240g (8.5oz)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQD model: 250q (8.8oz)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Minolta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50639590392096,"sku":"NWP-PNS-MINOLTAFAZ-20250828","price":25.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0265\/4401\/3398\/files\/minolta_freedom_action_zoom_35mm_film_pns_camera_serial_93374092_MY_20250827_10_3d040b0e-765e-471d-9c74-9459567b2320.jpg?v=1756353139","url":"https:\/\/www.newwavepool.ca\/products\/minolta-freedom-action-zoom-35mm-camera-noisy-motor-serial-93374092","provider":"New Wave Pool","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
