- Powerful 38-140mm (3.7x) Aspherical Zoom Lens The Freedom Zoom 140EX features a 38-140mm zoom lens which provides a powerful 3.7x zoom range. Minolta's unique 3-component lens construction reduces the maximum length of the lens and enables it to r
- Elegant Styling The Minolta Freedom 140EX features an attractive, eye-catching exterior appearance to identify it as Minolta’s top-of-the-line compact zoom camera. The front cover is constructed from durable anodized aluminum, with a titanium-color
- SLR-Type 660-Step Autofocusing The Freedom Zoom 140EX uses a 660-step phase-detection autofocus system which is similar to the kind used in AF SLR cameras. It focuses from just 19-11/16" (in macro mode) to infinity, with razor-sharp precision. Beca
- Subject Program Selection This six-program feature gives the user an easy and intuitive way to take control of the camera's automatic systems. It includes five separate subject programs plus a full-auto mode. Each of the five subject programs is de
- Full Auto Provides standard "point & shoot" operation. This mode is set automatically when the camera is turned on and off, or after a picture is taken using one of the subject programs.
- Macro Sets the lens for maximum magnification and optimizes all camera settings for close-up photography.
- Portrait Provides the ideal magnification for people in portrait situations, to emphasize the main subject.
- Night Portrait (slow shutter sync) Synchronizes the flash with a slow shutter speed to balance the flash and ambient illumination in pictures taken at night or sunset.
- Thank You Limits the AF range and fixes the focal length to the widest setting to ensure the best possible framing of souvenir photos taken while traveling. Ideal for situations where the camera is handed to a stranger, for taking a photo of a fami
- Spot Metering Limits the camera's metering area to the center segment. Spot metering can be used with or without flash and is very useful for proper subject exposure in complex lighting situations.
- Continuous Film Advance For action-catching sequences, the Freedom Zoom 140EX can be set to advance the film at approximately 1 frame every 1.2 seconds (5 frames in 6 seconds), for as long as the shutter release button is held down.
- Exposure Compensation This mode sets the exposure 1.5 stops (+1.5EV) above the camera's meter reading. This is very helpful when photographing strongly backlit subjects, landscapes with a large portion of sky or clouds, predominantly white subjects
- Built-In Zoom Flash The built-in flash is linked to the zoom lens so that it can provide the correct flash coverage at any focal length. The 140EX features autoflash, manual fill, +1.5EV exposure compensation, and flash-cancel modes.
- Red-Eye Reduction In red-eye reduction mode, a lamp on the front of the camera fires three flashes of light, causing the subject's pupils to close down before the exposure flash is fired. The same lamp is also used to indicate self-timer and remote
- Compact Zoom Viewfinder The zoom-integrated viewfinder uses a compact, dual-prism system which keeps the viewfinder housing flush with the top of the camera body. The viewfinder's optical system is also used by the metering system, eliminating the
- Zoom-Integrated Dual-Segment TTF Metering The metering system is linked optically to the viewfinder, so the camera is always metering the same image that the photographer sees, at any focal length. This zoom-integrated, dual-segment system takes se
- Double Exposure Mode For creative special effects, the Freedom Zoom 140EX can be set to take two separate exposures on one film frame.
- Optional Wireless Remote Control RC-3 A card-shaped infrared remote control is available as an optional accessory. It has a working range of 20 feet, and provides two shutter release modes: standard mode triggers the shutter as soon as the button o
