HI, I recently received a camera from my aunt..,. says she doesnt use the camera anymore, so this is what she gave me...
A Minolta X-370 camera, with 3 different lenses..
One lens has a 50 stamped by a red dot..and has settings that go from 2-22 and the next movable part goes from .45-10m
the second lens has image 52mm UV stamped on it it says
70-210MM 1:4.5-5.6 MC MACRO settings go 4.5-22 and the
other movable 1.1-12m and the lenses also colapses, and expands..
the third lens image goes from 2.8-22 and movable part that goes from .3-3m
the camera also came with a weird box thing..that is supposed to
rewind film automatically...a slik 500g tripod..and a Vivitar
zoom thyristor 285 flash...has settings on the side of flash that
go from 15-27din 25-400asa and wide normal and tele....
when I turn the camera on.., there are numbers in the side of
the viewer...going from 1-1000 and there is a B at the bottom..,
and an A at the top...the camera also has an Auto or Manual
button.. and another setting for film speed.
My question is.., I am new to photography...
what do all these numbers mean??? what are the different lenses for? Is this a good camera?
any help appreciated....please if you know of a website where
i can learn what these settings are for, i would appreciate it..
