The Minolta X-9 SLR film camera, with its auto-exposure function, allows you to shoot photos under varying light settings. Furthermore, the viewfinder of this Minolta film camera lets you frame your shots effortlessly. What’s more, with shutter speeds of 1/1000 to 4 seconds in the auto-exposure mode and 1/1,000 to 1 second in the manual mode, the Minolta X-9 delivers blur-free images even while shooting fast-moving objects. The X9 is the last of the manual SLR in the Minolta line and is fully capable of all the magic: meter-coupled, aperture and shutter-ready settings, and much more. The X9 had all the features of the popular X-700 with a fresher look. It is powered by two #357 pill batteries. The camera was introduced in 1990. The camera uses Minolta's SR (MC/MD) mount, which means that all of Minolta's incredible manual focus lenses will fit naturally onto this camera. Further special features include one of the most accurate metering systems made by any manufacturer, enabling full auto-exposure and aperture priority shooting modes that are extremely accurate. Additionally, the focus screen, reflex mirror, and viewfinder are all exceptionally large compared to other cameras, enabling very easy focusing even in low-light conditions.
