Minolta X-700 User Manual download pdf (Page 12)

The next four sections cover

things you must do to prepare your

camera for taking pictures:

• Attach lens (at right).

• Insert batteries and turn main

switch on (pp. 12 and 13).

• Set film speed (p. 16).

• Load camera with film (pp. 17

to 20).

You must always install batteries

properly and turn on the main

switch before loading film; the

order of other steps may vary.

Instructions for rewinding and

unloading film are also given in this

part. We recommend reading them

before starting to use your camera,

so that you will be sure what to do

when you come to the end of the

film.

MOUNTING AND CARE OF LENSES

Body and lens caps

Remove body and lens caps as

shown above.

CAUTIONS

• Always cap the rear end of the

lens and the lens mount of the

camera when the lens is not at-

tached, and the front of the lens

when the camera is not in use.

• To prevent damage to the control

pins, never set a lens with its rear

end down unless a rear lens cap is

on.

• If it is necessary to set an un-

capped lens with its front end

down, do so on a smooth surface.

Fisheye lenses should always be

capped before being placed front

end down.

• Keep lenses, properly capped

front and rear, in their cases when

not in use.
