The Minolta Freedom Zoom 150 panorama/date camera is one of the world's smallest 35mm cameras with a full 4x zoom lens. It weighs only 6.7 ounces, yet it offers an array of automatic features for trouble-free snapshooting. Film transport is fully automatic. After loading the film, the Minolta Freedom Zoom 150's back cover remains securely locked until the film is rewound into the cartridge, thereby preventing the film from being ruined by accidentally opening the back cover.
The Freedom Zoom 150 features a passive-type autofocus system, which uses approximately 900 focusing steps to ensure razor-sharp results. This autofocus system is similar to the kind used in single-lens reflex cameras and can focus accurately even on distant subjects, mirror images, or subjects beyond a windowpane. Other features include an automatic six-mode flash, automatic exposure, and a self-timer.
The
Quartz Watches data feature imprints the date or time onto each photo. Data imprinting can be switched on or off whenever you desire and is useful for cataloging photographs or keeping photo records of birthdays, weddings, graduations, and other important events. A panorama mode selector switch allows you to take both standard and panoramic pictures on the same roll of film.
