The Minolta Talker is an autofocus compact camera sold in some markets as the Minolta AF-Sv. It has a 35mm f2.8 lens and ISO settings from 25 to 1000 and includes a pop-up flash and self-timer, activated by the red button. The rear door has a window to reveal whether film is loaded. An integrated lens cap snaps into place on the body of the camera.
The Minolta Talker was the first compact camera to include a voice chip. When activated the voice chip will warn users if film has not been loaded or if shooting conditions require flash or to check distance. It was produced c.1983 through the mid-1980s.
