The Dynax 3xi is a autofocus 35mm film SLR. It was also available as the Maxxum 3xi and the α 3xi (Alpha 3xi). It was Minolta's cheapest system camera with mode for automatic choice of focal length. It belonged to Minolta's third series of cameras with Minolta AF mount. Of course the new feature worked only with the ZOOM xi lenses which had motorized zoom setting.
