Before using your camera for the first time, study this manual carefully all the way
through - or at least all the sections needed to cover your own photographic needs. As
you read, attach a lens to the camera body (see p. 10), load batteries, and handle your
XG-7 and acquaint yourself with its parts and features. Then load it with film and
proceed to actual picture taking. In this way, you can take good photos and begin to
realize the broad potential of your XG-7 right from the start. Be sure to keep this
manual for reference later as necessary.
Minolta precision lenses and accessories are manufactured under high quality
control standards and are designed to the performance requirements of Minolta camera
bodies. We recommend Minolta Rokkor-X and Celtic lenses and Minolta system
accessories for all types of photography.
