ished from the pro camera market (Maxxum 9000 in 1985, Maxxum 9xi in 1992) Minolta has decided that this time they will stay the course. With enthusiastic reception and international honors heaped upon this supersolid camera, Minolta has every reason to do so. FEATURES: In our tests, we found the camera to have the brightest of all AF SLR viewnders with the clearest projected red AF rectangles, these outlining the central cross AF sensor and the two outer single-line sensors. Sensor choice can be camera- or user-selected, and theres a handy and useful thumb-activated central spot sensor button, as well.

exposure-meter cell plus four-sensor flash metering linked to the AF sensor areas. The camera has the highest top speed of any present AF SLR, 1/12,000 sec with X-sync at 1/300 sec, lm advance at 5.5 fps, and is the only pro-level SLR with a built-in flash. The entire picture area can be seen in the viewnder. It also provides seven-frame ambient and ash autobracketing, wireless off-camera ash, shiftable program exposure, seven-roll data storage, and 21 custom features. The Maxxum 9 can be upgraded to what is called Maxxum 9Ti electronic specications. These include adding an AF-aid light turnoff, allowing exposure compensation with the rear dial in aperture- or shutter-priority exposure, and providing front and rear control-dial function locks when the camera is not in use. The luminescent exposure mode and compensation dials will be changed to brightly colored, raised numerals.
