In 1963 the '''Minolta HI-MATIC 7''' succeeded the original ''[[Minolta Hi-Matic]]'' [[35mm]] [[rangefinder camera]]. It had new features, especially a [[CdS]] meter placed above the lens optics within the [[filter thread|filter connection ring]], a manual shutter speed selection mode, and the exposure meter's actual [[EV|EV-value]] displayed in the viewfinder. Like the original Hi-Matic its viewfinder was a [[rangefinder (device)|rangefinder]] with mechanical [[parallax]] correction, and it had a [[self-timer]]. With this camera [[Minolta]] made the "Hi-Matic" camera series their main series of range- and viewfinder cameras. Every Hi-Matic had more or less automatic features, especially for exposure control by meter, and more or less support of flashlight usage. The later version '''HI-MATIC 7s''' added a [[hot shoe]] for flashes and the exposure system of the [[Minolta SRT 101|SRT 101]] [[SLR]]-camera.

Revision as of 18:57, 3 August 2011

In 1963 the Minolta HI-MATIC 7 succeeded the original Minolta Hi-Matic 35mm rangefinder camera. It had new features, especially a CdS meter placed above the lens optics within the filter connection ring, a manual shutter speed selection mode, and the exposure meter's actual EV-value displayed in the viewfinder. Like the original Hi-Matic its viewfinder was a rangefinder with mechanical parallax correction, and it had a self-timer. With this camera Minolta made the "Hi-Matic" camera series their main series of range- and viewfinder cameras. Every Hi-Matic had more or less automatic features, especially for exposure control by meter, and more or less support of flashlight usage. The later version HI-MATIC 7s added a hot shoe for flashes and the exposure system of the SRT 101 SLR-camera.
