Focus and Optics

The SRT 101 SLR camera comes with Contrast Light Compensator metering. It offers compensation for the excess exposure by reducing extra brightness in the shot. A full aperture metering is also incorporated in the camera, which automatically counteracts with the maximum aperture of your lens. The camera has the highest ISO of 6400 while the shutter can speed up to 1/1000th of a second. This camera has a working range of EV 3 to EV17 with an ASA film speed of 100. Minolta SRT 101 has a direct helicoid focusing method that uses an infrared index to click images of objects from a minimum distance up to 60 cm.

Sensor and Screen

The camera has a double-hinged reflex mirror pentaprism viewfinder that provides a bright view of the image. Along with this, the viewfinder also shows current exposure setting, shutter speed, and battery status. The large size of the return mirror avoids image cutoff and ensures accurate exposure readings even when using large focal length lenses.

Image and Video

The camera snaps pictures with the 35mm film. This camera has a quick advance winding method with a 20° clearance. The camera's resetting counter denotes the number of exposed frames. With the rapid rewind crank, the camera allows you to prepare the film for the next shot quickly. The camera comes with a double exposure blocking function and shutter locks.

Other Features

The camera comes with two sync terminals, FP, and X. The X terminal can be used to connect an electronic flash to the camera. You may attach a flash bulb to the camera through the FP terminal that synchronizes with the bulb up to 1/1000th of a second. The camera has a self-timer that can delay the shutter release up to 10 seconds. You may check the battery of the camera. The camera comes with a mirror lock function that comes to use when you are using a Rokker 21mm wide-angle lens. It also helps you in photomicrography as well as taking close-up shots. The camera can be used with 1.35v button shaped mercury battery. There is a battery check switch beneath the camera that shows whether the battery is functional or not.
