![Minolta MAXXUM 5000i [35-70mm]](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_sFU3Xt3rkfL0MNQQGSGFeA7NYSmFmo6EuOBwEKFN75OqW6zx-wXixC_UzmE5bwyikEwDCMVI_E9PnxDSN4YonZ55PRcgBmKy74xnxvEsS0O0ppH0VE4U5UeQlgArEcjQ=s0-d)
Its super-fast autofocus system with a central cross sensor and two vertical side sensors enables you to capture razor-sharp images of fast-moving subjects. The 14-segment honeycomb-pattern metering system ensures beautiful photos under the most difficult lighting conditions. For creative image compositions, the ability to switch between the wide focus area and the local focus areas is available in order to single out an off-center subject without recomposing the shot.
For maximum autofocus control, the Maxxum 4 has three AF modes: single-shot, continuous/predictive, and automatic. Single-shot AF locks focus on stationary subjects. Continuous/predictive AF tracks moving subjects right up to and during the moment of shutter release. Automatic AF determines whether the subject is moving or still, and will automatically select either single-shot or continuous/predictive AF.
The built-in quartz-data back imprints the date or time right onto the photo, making it very useful for cataloging photographs and making photo records of important events. Data imprinting can be turned on or off as desired.
The Maxxum 4 has many advanced features packed into its light, compact body, including:
The Minolta QTsi features a detachable 35-80mm lens, selectable automatic or manual focus, a built-in pop-up flash with four modes, a self-timer, and TTL-type metering. It also offers programmed autoexposure with an additional five modes for portraits, landscapes, close-ups, action shots, and night portraits. Film transport is automatic as well. A large on-body LCD panel displays exposure mode, battery condition, mode selection, and whether manual focus or autofocus is selected.
In the box, you receive the Minolta Maxxum QTsi body, a Minolta lens and lens cap, an adjustable neck strap, a user's manual, and warranty information. It operates on two 3-volt CR2 lithium batteries, which are sold separately. This camera is covered by a one-year manufacturer's warranty on parts and labor.
The Seagull SC-5 Flash Adapter is specially designed to connect all standard shoe flashes to the proprietary Sony Alpha and Minolta Maxxum hot shoes. This will allow you to attach any flash or accessory having a standard shoe. This adapter is fully compatible to work with all Sony Alpha and Konica Minolta Maxxum SLR Cameras.
It also provides a standard PC connection similar to the more expensive Sony FAST1AM Sony Sync Terminal Adapter and Konica Minolta Maxxum FS-1100 PLUS.
As an added benefit, the SC-5 has safe sync protective circuitry to safeguard your camera's electronics. In the event a flash has too high a sync voltage, the adapter will prevent the flash from firing and shorting out your valuable SLR camera.
With the Seagull SC-5 Flash Adapter, you can expand your choice of flashes and accessories for your Sony Alpha and Minolta Maxxum SLR Cameras.
