How can i change the ISO on my camera (minolta maxxum 3xi)? The film i put in is 400 but the assignment requires me to change it to 100

  • kakima Jan 13, 2011

    Is the assignment requiring you to overexpose all your photos by two stops? Or is the assignment to use ISO 100 film?

Okay. Just bear in mind that the exposure meter is going to be two stops off, unless you're getting the film pull-processed.

The Maxxum 3Xi unfortunately does not have a way of overriding the Camera Automatic Sensing portion of the DX encoding standard. That is, if the film cartridge has the DX encoding, the camera will set itself to the indicated speed.

However, if the film cartridge is NOT encoded, the camera will set itself to ISO 100. So, if you tape over the magnetic encoding on the cartridge...

The CAS is not the barcode on the film cartridge, but the rectangular patches of conductive and nonconductive material.

Take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DX_encoding for more information about the DX encoding.

My minolta wont load the film

There are contacts that "read" the film. Try cleaning them. If that does not work, check in the manual where to make the ASA in manual mode. That means ever time you load film, you have to check to make sure your ASA of the film matches the camera. If that work, you are good to go. These cameras are from the 90's.

Minolta maxxum 3000i, i need to know how to manually set the film speed when i am not using DX film

The camera doesn't have a way to do this. If you use non-DX film, or DX film out of the camera's range, the ISO is automatically set to 100.

If you need a manual, you can download one from
http://butkus.org/chinon/minolta/minolta_3000i/minolta_3000i.htm

The film speed is discussed on page 13.

Sorry if that wasn't the answer you wanted to see, but that's the way this camera works.

What is an ISO or ASA? where is it on my Minolta Maxxum 400si

There should be a button that says ISO on it, or just a set of arrow buttons. ASA/ISO are the same thing, and indicate the speed of the film being used. 100/200/400/800/etc. Not setting the camera to the proper setting will result in dark or light images.

If you can't find your ISO setting, try searching Google for your model and you should be able to find a pdf download of your manual for free.

Im the one with the Maxxum 3xi iso problem ... Our teacher gave us film with 400iso but we have to change the iso to 100 to shoot the roll..

If you use DX-coded film between 25-5000, the camera sets the ISO automatically to match the film. If you use non-DX-coded film, the ISO is automatically set to 100 ISO.

Changing ASA on minolta Maxxum 3xi

Not a feature of that model. It reads ASA from the film canister. You cannot manually set it on the 3xi.

Bad Minolta Maxxum lens?

Oddly enough, the camera and lens are working just fine now - or at least they appear to be. I'll shoot some more when I have good lighting and 1-hour them tomorrow for the results.
