The Owner's Manual:
Minolta 600si 650si Owner's Manual PDF or second site or third site or from the Yahoo group site (96 pages + in Adobe Acrobat PDF format) ... so you've got the camera and want to take advantage of it's every feature and benefit, or you're still considering buying one and want to really explore it first. This is a ~ 4.48 MB file size. Either click this link to view it or download it, or to download it without viewing it: on a PC - right-click on the link, on a Mac - click-and-hold on the link, then on either computer select 'download' from the pop-up menu. This file version is an exclusive version from Minolta USA's web site that I have cleaned up, removed duplicate pages, reformatted for original size paper, but the pages are still NOT true text, instead they are large, slow images, so be patient, or just download and print it without viewing it first. PLUS I have included additional notes on various ages, and I have included a PDF version of the "Beyond The Owners Manual" web page (next) at the end of this PDF version of the owner's manual - 3 exclusive enhancements! |
