Thank you for purchasing the Minolta Vectis S-100. The
Vectis S-100 is an ultra compact IX240 type system camera
with variable print-aspect-ratio and magnetic storage of date
and exposure information. The Vectis S-100 also incorporates
the revolutionary TTL side viewfinder. The side viewfinder
provides a high viewfinder magnification, high eyepoint, and
large diopter range, in addition to giving the camera its
distinctive profile.
This manual has been designed to help you understand the
operation of the camera more quickly. After familiarizing
yourself with the camera, read the Basic Operation section.
Refer to the Advanced Operation and Additional Features
sections as your familiarity with the camera increases.

New processing…
In addition to returning your prints in the format you
selected, certified photofinishers will return your Advanced
Photo System film in its
original cassette with an
index print. To order reprints,
simply choose the images
you want from the index print.
No more searching through
negatives to find the right
frame.
Easier to load…
Advanced Photo System cameras use the new IX240 type
film. This new film features drop-in-loading to make
loading your camera simple, the first time, every time.
Indicators on the
cassette tell you and
your camera if the
film is unexposed,
partially exposed,
exposed, or
processed.
