Since the inception of through-the-Iens exposure

measuring for single-lens-reflex cameras, several systems

have been developed. Some "spot" read only a very

small part of the total area. Other systems provide an

"average" reading composed of independent measure-

ments taken by two cells which is not accurate in

high-contrast situations.

Only the Minolta SR-T 101 hasan exclusive new type

of circuit (CLC) to provide optimum reading of the

entire picture area regardlessof degree of contrast.

In addition to its more accurate exposure meter

system, your Minolta SR-T 101 is designed to handle

more easiIy, with greater speed, than other "through-

the-tens

metering" cameras.

The abili y to compose, focus, set exposure and

shutter speed without looking away from the finder

makes the Minolta SR-T 101 particularly suitable for

professional photography, when operating speed is often

of vital importance.

1. Rapid-Reading Through-the-Lens Exposure

a) Exposure readings are taken with lens at full

aperture for rapid composing and focusing

regardless of subject brightness.

b) "Follower-type" needles in viewfinder show

correct exposure at

glance, witli

any

combination of aperture and shutter speed.

cl Shutter speed scale is visible in viewfinder

but outside of "I ive" picture area.

d] Only the light that strikes the film is

measured, thus eliminating the need to

compensate for changes in lens focal length

or compute exposure factors for fi Iters,

bellows or other lens attachments.

2. Combine the Advantages of

"Spot"

and

a) Exclusive "CLC" Metering System (Contrast

Light Compensator) maintains extreme ac-

curacy regardless of lighting situation, even

with high-contrast subjects.

b) Automatically corrects for changes in light

intensity from one section of the picture

area to another. thus providing an optimum

overall reading.

cl Oversize, instant return mirror prevents

image cutoff and incorrect exposure read-

ings no matter how long the focal length of

lens.

Unique position ing of

CdS

cells prevents

incorrect readings due to light entering

Inserting the mercury battery

1. The Minolta SR·T 101 uses a 1.35v,

button-shape mercury battery for pnoto-

graphic applications (Mallory PX-625.

PX-13. Eveready EXP-625, EPX-13 or equl-

valent).

2. To install, remove the battery chamber

cover with your thumb by turning it

counterclockwise. Place the battery in the

chamber with its plus side out and replace

the cover.

CAUTION:

• Do not touch the battery terminals with

moist or dirty hands, as this can cause them

to deteriorate and make the battery inopera-

tive.

• Do not discard a mercury battery in a fire or

break it up.

• When the camera is not being used, it is

advisable to turn the battery switch on the

base of the camera to the "OFF" position.

• If the camera is not to be used for over a

month, remove the battery and store it in a

dry, cool place.

• Before putting the battery back in the

camera, clean both sides of the battery and

the contact lead of the battery chamber with

dry cloth.
