B Minolta Hi-Matic AF compact film camera

The Minolta Hi-Matic AF was a lens-shutter compact film camera released by Minolta in the early 1980s, featuring the world's first "autofocus (AF)" function!

"AF" stands for "Auto Focus," meaning the camera focuses automatically when the shutter button is half-pressed. This retro camera is popular for its ease of use and ability to take pictures quickly (*´﹀`*)

The Minolta Hi-Matic AF is supported by film camera enthusiasts as a retro and user-friendly camera that, while equipped with the advanced autofocus function, can still take warm, film-like photos (*ˊᵕˋ* )

◆ Main Features
Autofocus (AF): This was a groundbreaking function that allowed the camera to automatically focus simply by half-pressing the shutter button.
Lens-shutter type: The lens itself acts as the shutter, allowing for a compact body.
Retro design and compactness: Its palm-sized design makes it easy to carry, perfect for travel and events, and its appearance is also popular.
Film camera: This is an analog camera that uses 135 film (35mm film) and is still very popular today.
Function evolution: The successor model, "Hi-Matic AF2," became even easier to use with the addition of a date imprinting function (auto-date) and motorized automatic film winding and rewinding.

Meaning of "AF"
AF (Auto Focus): A function that measures the distance to the subject and automatically focuses the camera.
MF (Manual Focus): A function that focuses manually.
The Hi-Matic AF is a camera that made it easy for anyone to take in-focus photos by incorporating this AF function.

The battery is corroded and cannot be removed, so it will be sold as a junk item as is. Please understand this before purchasing.
