- 1/4000th Second Ultra-High-Speed Shutter
- By employing the fastest shutter speed in its class--1/4000th of a second--the Maxxum 5 can freeze fast moving subjects with astounding clarity and detail. This permits you to shoot with wider apertures in very bright backlit situations.
- 3 FPS Ultra-High-Speed Film Drive
- At 3 frames per second*, no other camera in its class also lets you enjoy faster continuous shooting of moving subjects. That's because the Maxxum 5 utilizes a high-power motor, improved sequence of the parallel film drive transport and shutter charging, plus a flying release that was taken from the Maxxum 9. You'll count on these upgrades to get more sequential shots of the exciting action you're trying to capture.
*Continuous drive speed based on following Konica Minolta test conditions: focus mode--single shot AF or MF, without date/time imprinting.
- 14-Segment Honeycomb-Pattern Metering
- Ensures precise exposure for your subject even in the most difficult lighting situations. Its metering system collects data--brightness, distance, position of subject and focal length. This data is then analyzed to decipher if the shot has normal or back lighting, is a portrait or a landscape, etc., and based on this analysis, the optimum exposure is set.
- Spot Metering
-
The perfect mode for tricky exposure settings such as shooting subjects lit from behind or with high contrast. To achieve the most accurate spot metering of your subject, sensitivity is concentrated in an area that's 0.22 in. or 3% of the total frame area.
- Various Flash Modes
- Fill Flash Mode enhances backlit subjects by lightening up shadows
- For soft, natural light use Flash Cancel Mode
- Red-Eye Reduction eliminates the red-eye effect caused by nighttime flash
- Wireless Off Camera TTL Flash Control adds an extra creative dimension while using Minolta Maxxum Flash 5400HS, 5600HS(D) or 3600HS(D)
- Also, while using Maxxum Flash 5600HS(D) or 3600HS(D) Wireless High-Speed Sync lets you shoot in backlit situations using wider than customary apertures with the built-in flash and normal sync speeds
- ADI Flash Metering
-
Attach a (D) lens* and Konica Minolta's ADI (Advanced Distance Integration) will ensure optimum flash metering--regardless of background conditions or subject's reflectance characteristics. Used with Maxxum Flash 5600HS(D), Maxxum Flash 3600HS(D) or even its built-in flash, the Maxxum 5 calculates a guide number based on distance from subject, ambient light/pre-flash reflectivity** of the subject and the background to determine the ideal amount of flash.
*ADI flash metering operates only with (D) lenses.
**Does not operate with built-in flash.
- Eye-Start Automation
-
Switch on this unique feature and it'll help you capture exciting candid shots the instant they happen. Sensors in the handgrip and viewfinder automatically activate the AF and AE systems the moment you bring the camera up to your eye--readying you for all the action.
- Depth-Of-Field Preview
- This convenient feature lets you continuously monitor the depth of field of your image. Thus, making it easy to ensure your subject and background are both in focus, or to check your focus during macro photography.
