The Minolta Freedom Zoom Date 9T is a camera made by Minolta for the North American market. It was introduced in the 1990s and was built in Japan. It is easy to use and has a number of automatic features.
The 35 mm camera is equipped with a fixed zoom lens. The zoom range is from 35 mm to 90 mm. The largest available aperture is f/3.5 (35 mm) and f/7.7 (90 mm). The lens is focused by autofocus. The focus lock can be used to fix the set distance. The closest focusing distance of this lens is 75 cm at 35 mm. In the telephoto range, you need to keep a distance of 90 cm.
The 35 mm photo camera has a built-in light meter. It is designed for an ISO range of 25 to 3200. The film speed is determined by the DX code. The correct exposure is set automatically by the camera.
However, there are some exposure modes. These can be selected by pressing a button and are shown on a display on the top of the camera. For example, the camera has an “Auto Stand-by Zoom” mode. The ASZ mode is switched on by a button and activated when you focus your eye on the viewfinder. Depending on the distance to the subject, the camera automatically adjusts the zoom. An exposure mode for landscape shots is also available, as well as a continuous shooting mode for fast subjects. Creative pictures are possible with the double exposure mode.
The self-timer makes group pictures and selfies easy. After pressing the shutter button, you have ten seconds to get into position. If desired, the camera can also take two pictures in a row. Shooting is less stressful with the optional RC-2 infrared remote control.
There is a built-in flash for shooting in low-light conditions. The flash has an auto mode to avoid red-eye. There is also a fill-in flash mode and a mode for portraits at night. Of course, the flash can also be turned off, e.g. for landscape shots. The flash range is 6 meters at ISO 100 in the wide-angle range.
The dimensions of the Minolta Freedom Zoom Date 9T are 14.9 x 7.6 x 6 cm. The weight is 345 grams. There is a thread for a tripod on the bottom. The camera requires a CR-P2 battery.
