OWNER'S
MANUAL
Specially designed for use on the Minolta XG cameras, your Auto
Winder G attaches to the camera body in a few seconds. lt advances film
and resets the XG for the next exposure automatically after each one is
taken in single-frame or continuous operation up to two frames per second,
stopping automatically at the end of each cartridge, The highly efficient
coreless motor winds well over 150 cartridges per charge with Ni-Cd
batteries, and also uses ordinary or alkaline penlight cells. One of smallest
and lightest to date, the Auto winder G is designed for optimum total
balance and lightness of the camera/winder combination,
Before using your winder for the first time, please read this manual all
the way through - or at leastfar enough to cover your own picture-taking
needs - while loading batteries, attaching to camera, and handling and
acquainting yourself with the unit and its parts and features. This way, you
can take good pictures and begin to realize the potential of your Auto
Winder G right from the start. --1

Installing
batteries
1.
With pow€r switch at "OFF,"
slide the battery-chamber
lock in
the direction of the arrow and
remove
the battery holder.
2. Insert four penlight (AA-size)
1.5-volt alkaline, Ni-Cd, or sealed
carbon-zinc batteries with plus (+)
and minus (-) ends positioned as
indicated in the battery holder.

3. Insert the battery holder into the
winder body so that the white
marks are on th€ same side and
snap it securely into place.
(lt is shaped so that it will not
seat properly if the white marks
are not on the same side.)
CAUTION
o When replacing batteries, be zure
to change all four batteries at one
time. lf €xhausted batteries are
used with fresh ones, or if differ-
ent types of batteries are used
together, there is a possibility of
battery leakage or explosion.
o Do not attempt to charge alkaline
or carbon-zinc batteries as this
could cause battery leakage or
explosion.
o lf the winder is not to be used for
two weeks or more, batteries
should be removed.
o lf Auto Electroflash 2OOX is to be
used with the XG cameras and
Auto Winder G in successive f lash
operation, be sure to use only
freshly charged Ni-Cd batteries in
the f
lash. lf partially charged or
other batteries are used, the flash
may not synchronize properly.
o lf the winder does not operate
after replacing the batteries, cock
the shutter once manually using
the film-advance lever. This
should recycle the winder mecha-
nism, and normal operation can
be resumed.
Cold-weather operation
Batteries generally decrease in
capacity as the temperature goes
down, and the amount of film the
winder can advance per set lessens
accordingly. Alkaline and sealed
carbon-zinc batteries can be used in
temperatu res down to OoC (32" Fl
while nickel-cadmium batteries may
be qsed in temperatures as low as
-2O-C e4-F ). lt is thus recom-
mended that the winder be loaded
with fresh batteries for use in cold
weather and that you carry fresh
spares in a warm inside coat pocket
for replacement if necessary during
such operation,
ATTACHING AND REMOVING
To attach
1. With the power wvitch at "OFF",
insert the auto winder's guide pin
into the camera's guide-pin socket
and align the attaching screw with
the tripod socket on the bottom
of the camera.
2. Fold out the attaching screw and
turn it clockwise until the winder
is
securely in place.

To remove
1. With the power w\ritch at"OFF,',
fold out the attaching screw and
turn it counterclockwise out of
the camera's tripod socket.
2. Separate the winder and camera,
making surethe guide pin isdrawn
straight out of the guide-pin srrckst.
CAUTION
Do not attach the winder to the
camera with ths winder's power
snritch at "ON" as this may cause
damage to the camera.
NOTE
Becausa the bellows supports ex-
tend behind the body mount, the
XG with auto winder can not be
used on the Auto Bellows I without
modif ication. For information about
modification of your Auto Bellows I
contact an authorized M inolta
service facility.
OPERATION
Normal winding
With serviceable batteries loaded
and winder attached to the camera:
1.
Turn the power switch to "ON."
2. To make a single exposure, de-
press the operating button to trip
the shutter and immediately re-
lease
the button. (The winder will
automatically advance the f
ilm
when the €xposure is complete,)
when the operating button is
held
in its release position, successive
exposures will be made and the
www.orphancameras.com
winder will advance the film after
each one at a rate of up to two
frames per second. In either
single-frame or continuous opera-
tion, the pilot light will come on
during each advancecycle.
3. At the end of each cartridge, the
winder will automatically stop,
and the pilot light will stay lit.
CAUTION
Do not releasethe battery holder
while the winder is operating as
this
could interrupt the winding cycle. lf
this happens and replacing the hold-
er does not restore winder opera-
tion, cock the shutter once manually
using the film-advance lever. The
winder mechanism should then be
recycled, and normal operation can
be resumed.
NOTE
o Excess tension on the film may
stop the winder drive mechanism
in mid-cycle before the film is
exhausted; the pilot light will also
remain lit. Should this happen,
move the winder's power switch
to "OFF" and then to "ON."
This should reset the winder and
pilot light for normal operation.
ff the winder still does not oper-
ate, replace the f ilm cartridge
and/or batteries.
o When the camera's shutter-speed
selector is set at "B" the winder
will advance after the operating
button is released.
o During winder operation, the
advance lever should be kept at its
rest position.
a Keep the winder's power switch
at "OFF" when the winder is not
being used.
