Minolta SLR bayonet, 54º rotating angle; coupling for full aperture meteringand automatic diaphgram control w...ith Minolta MC lenses (Stop down metering usedfor other than MC lenses); button for depth-of-field preview and stop-downmetering. (Standard lenses: MC Rokkor-x 50mm f1.7, 50mm f1.4, or 58mm f1.2)Auto exposure control:
Special low voltage circuit incorporating 2 monolithic IC's varies shutterspeed continuously and steplessly to yield proper exposure according tometering system indication at the aperture, film speed, and exposure adjustmentset. Auto exposure range: EV 1 to EV 17 (e.g.. 1 sec. at f/1.4 to 1/1000 atf/11) at ASA 100 with f/1.2 lensShutter:
Vertical traverse metalled focal-plane type; electronically controlled speeds;1/1000 to 4 sec., steplessly in automatic mode or in steps on manual mode;mechanically controlled settings (no battery power required): "X"(1/90 sec.), "B". Shutter release locked when power switch off.Light metering
Full aperture TTL type with overlapping reading taken by 2 Cds cells mounted onthe pentaprism and circuited to provide optimum exposure in both flat- and mostcontrast lightning situations; stop-down metering also possible.Film speed range:
ASA 12 to 3200 set by dial (around rewind-crank/back-release knob) with lock.Device opposite film speed dial provides up to ±2 EV continuous adjustment ofauto or metered manual exposure with 1 EV click stops and a lock at zerosetting.Mirror:
Oversize quick return type (PO value: 140mm; finder image cutoff negligibleeven with 1600mm f11 RF Rokkor-X extreme telephoto).Finder:

F-number set and manual shutter setting or "A" (for AUTO mode)visible above the frame, stepless speeds or metered manual exposure settingindicated by needle on scale at right of frame; indention shows meter couplingrange.*
Eyepiece shutter positioned by lever.*Flash sync.:
PC terminal and hot shoe with switch for X or FP delay; X contact: Electronicflash synchronizes at "X" (1/90 sec.) and lower stepless and stepspeeds; FP contact: FP flashbulbs synchronize at all settings.XE-5:
PC terminal for FP sync; Hot shoe for X sync only. Otherwise like above.Film advance:
Lever type, single 130º stroke after 30º unengaged movement.
Safe Load Signal indicates film loading and advancing condition.*
Multiple exposure level coaxial with advance lever allows unlimited recockingof shutter without advancing film.*
Advancing-type frame counter resets automatically when camera back opened (noadvance with multiple exposures)Self timer:
Lever type, operating time variable from approx. 6 to 10 sec.Power:
Two 1, 5 v silver oxide cells, Everready S-76 or equivalent, contained in camerabase power both auto exposure control and shutter's electronically governedoperation; battery checker on end of body.
Mirror stays up (no exposure made) as warning when voltage too low forelectronic operation.
Turning power switch off locks shutter release.Others:
4-slot take-up spool; memo holder and ASA-DIN conversion scale on back cover.Size (XE-1):61 x 91 x 148mm (2-3/8 x 3-13/16 x 5 13/16 in.)
