Using the Camera

Shooting with the Minolta P's is a breeze and no one should feel intimidated. Loading the film is simple with marked guides and an electronic winder to let you know you got it right. The camera takes one CR123a battery and should last few hundreds of shots on a charge. When you're ready to take a picture, slide open the lens cover to turn the camera on, half-press the shutter to auto-focus and once AF has been confirmed through the viewfinder light, full press to snap your shot.

On the topic of sliding open the lens cover, I found this to be effective way to make sure you aren't turning the camera on in your pocket, but I did get my finger in the shot sometimes. I guess I was not used to this method of slide open, and then move your finger all the way back. It's a wide lens, after all, and because it doesn't protrude, it was difficult to tell if my finger was too close to the lens or not. It only ruined two shots that I thought were pretty good otherwise. Just remember to move your fingers all the way out of the way!
