Minolta's Maxxum 9 Professional 35mm camera combines speed and precision for a high-quality shooting experience. The film drive enables 5.5 frames per second of continuous shooting so you can capture subtle changes in your subject. Combined with the 1/12,000-second shutter speed, the world's fastest, you'll capture perfect action and sports events shots.
The flash synch is also fast, up to 1/300 seconds. This allows you to use wider apertures for daylight synch shots of objects at a distance. With 100 percent field-of-view, the Maxxum 9 maintains a large magnification ratio of 0.73x. Minolta designed the Maxxum 9 for durability, with a tough, rigid metal cover to protect it from damage. The base is padded with rubber to absorb shocks and to provide a more secure left- hand grip. Adverse conditions won't affect your shooting either. The Maxxum 9 is dust- and moisture-resistant, although not waterproof.
With either automatic or manual focus and exposure, the Maxxum 9 provides flexibility and creative control. It is responsive to your intentions; you can make fine adjustments to the automatic settings or comprehensive changes to the individual systems. With the special data memory function, you'll never worry about developing your photographs at the wrong exposure. The Maxxum 9 stores up the data of up to seven rolls of 36 exposures on aperture, lens focal length, shutter speed, and more.
