- Ultra-High-Speed AF Control
- Compared to any camera in its class, the Maxxum 5 is the flat-out world's fastest. That's because it inherits a similar AF technology from the Maxxum 7, which is considered the world's fastest in any class. Its shared technology includes a high-power motor to drive the AF system, a high-speed microcomputer, improved efficiency in braking control, faster CCD control processing, improved control algorithm, and a new AF real-time start control. All of which enables its AF control to process multiple tasks while focusing amazingly fast.
*In its class of 35mm AF SLR cameras. As of March 2002, under Minolta test conditions.
- Multi-Dimensional Predictive Focus Control
 - With the most responsive predictive focus control in its class, the Maxxum 5 can track faster moving subjects. In fact, it's so responsive, it can even track abrupt changes in speed or direction while maintaining accurate focus. And, unlike other cameras, the Maxxum 5's shutter will release the instant the shutter button is pressed. These upgrades were made possible by employing a high-power AF motor, a simultaneous lens drive during the mirror-up movement, and an improved AF algorithm.
- Super-Wide 7-Point AF System
- Provides optimum flexibility when composing a picture enabling you to achieve an aesthetically balanced framing. The new 7-Point AF System efficiently covers the wide focus area and its sensors are laid out to the "Rule of Thirds," making easy placement of subjects near their corners. The cross-hair sensor in the center captures the subject's vertical or horizontal contrast orientation. In continuous AF mode, this feature takes care of subject tracking, allowing you to focus totally on composition.
- LED Illuminated Super Impose
-
The Maxxum 5 is also the first in its class to possess this convenient feature. Located within the viewfinder, the super impose's red indicator light confirms whether your camera is focused on your subject when there are multiple objects in your scene.
