Minolta SR-1
Congratulations! You now own an exceptionally precise camera that far exceeds the demands
of the average photographer. The elements contained within it will meet any photographic
situation on a professional level.
IO
All cbout your Minolto sR-t OI
Your Minolta SR-l features the world-famous Rokkor
F1.8/55mm, F2.0/55mm or
F2.0/53mm lens treated with an exclusive Achromatic coating to give you high fidelity
sharpness particularly in color photography. The camera contains an extremely bright penta
prism viewing system and a completely automatic pre-set diaphragm. Please read this manual
carefully so that you may effectively utilize the full potential of your new Minolta SR-1. (All
illustrations used in this booklet are with the Fl.S lens. There is no fundamental
difference in usage between the F1.8 and F2.0 lenses.)

qutomqtic pre-set
One of
the superb f eatures of the Minolta SR- 1 is
completely automatic pre-set diaphragm. In a
conventional single lens reflex camera, when the lens
is stopped down the visual f ield of view becomes
its
darker thus making it dif f icult to focus. In the
Minolta SR- 1, the lens is completely automatic ancl
pre-set;aperture is always at maximun opening unti I
the shuttter is released. Consequently, focusing can be
quickly determined through the extra bright viewfinder
no matter what aperture you have preselected.
When the shutter is released, the diaphragm closes to
pre-set aperture, the mirror clears, the picture is taken
the mirror returns, the diaphragm re-opensto maximum
aperture...all simultaneously, all automatically.

Depth of ,,",{r,
The depth of fielcl of a lens
is the range of
clistance
within which all
subjects
are
in

This range varies
with the aperture opening.
It
is greatest when

You may pre-view depth of f ield, if you wish by
pressing the pre-view button which manually closes
the diaphragm to its pre-set aperture. When you
do this you can inspect through

You may set either shutter speed or aperture first. If you set shutter
speed first, measure the light and the meter needle will indicate the
correct aperture for that speed. If you set aperture first, adjust the
shutter dial, while measuring the light, until the meter needle coincides
with the aperture you have pre-selected.
Shutter speed is usually determined by the motion of the subject.
If you are compelled to use a fast shutter speed, 1/500 for example,
set it on the shutter dial.
The dial is coupled to the meter and automaically adjusts the meter's
light value scale to coincide with the shutter speeds. In other words,
