Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Minolta Maxxum HTsi is a full-powered, compact 35mm SLR camera. It features a newly developed 3-point AF sensor configuration. This technology consists of two vertical sidebars and a central crosshair-shaped segment. The built-in flash is powered by the camera battery. The flash provides coverage up to 28mm, with synch speeds up to 1/125 seconds. It can be used in all four exposure modes and features a selectable red-eye-reduction preflash. The flash is fully synchronized with shutter speeds up to 1/4,000 seconds.

In addition to a full-auto mode, the Maxxum HTsi offers five different subject program modes: portrait, landscape, close-up, sport/action, and night portrait. For creative exposure control, Minolta provides aperture and shutter priority modes. In manual mode, you can take full creative control over the image-making process by selecting both the shutter speed and aperture. Functions such as spot metering, slow-shutter synch, exposure compensation, exposure bracketing, double-exposure mode, panorama mode, and a remote release terminal increase the HTsi's flexibility.

To catch action shots, the HTsi has two frames per second continuous film advance driven by the camera motor. The control layout is simple and logical so beginners and professionals alike can work quickly and successfully. This model includes two powerful zoom lenses: a 28-80mm and a 75- 300mm.
