Two macro modes are available: Super Macro and standard
macro. Super Macro allows the camera to focus as close as
1cm (0.4 in.) from the front of the lens. When Super Macro is
selected, the lens automatically zooms to a specific focal-
length position and cannot be changed. Standard macro allows
the zoom to be used. The minimum focus distance changes
with focal length, see below.
Press the macro button (1) to select the macro mode. The
modes cycle among standard macro, Super Macro, and off.
The following chart lists the Super Macro and standard macro
ranges. All distances are measured from the front of the lens.

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-pri-
ority 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 shut-
ter-release button and battery chamber are located in the grip.
Only a few prototypes were built making it one of Minolta’s rarest
camera.
