Super Macro allows the camera to focus as close as 4
cm (1.7 in.) from the front of the lens or 9 cm (3.5 in.)
from the CCD. Press the macro button (1) to activate the
function; the lens automatically zooms to the Super-
Macro position of 9.7mm.
The zoom can be used, but the macro range changes
with focal length. The standard macro indicator is
displayed when the focal length is changed.
The following chart lists the Super Macro and standard
macro ranges. All distances are measured from the

Innovation and creativity is the cornerstone of Minolta’s success. The
Electro-zoom X was an exercise in camera design and received a
great deal of attention when it was unveiled at Photokina in 1966.
The Electro-zoom X was an electronically controlled aperture-priority
mechanical SLR with a built-in 30 - 120mm f/3.5 zoom lens giving
twenty 12 X 17mm images on a roll of 16mm film. The shutter-
release button and battery chamber are located in the grip. Only a
few prototypes were built making it one of Minolta’s rarest camera.
