The Minolta 800si was designed to work specifically with lenses,
flash units and other accessories manufactured and distributed by
Minolta. Using incompatible products with this camera may result
in unsatisfactory performance or damage to the camera or
accessories.
COMPATIBILITY OF LENSES AND ACCESSORIES
Lenses
• All Minolta AF lenses can be used with this camera.
• Manual focus lenses (MD or MC) cannot be used with the 800si.
• If using an AF Zoom xi or AF Power Zoom lens, display the
current focal length of the lens by pulling the zoom ring toward
the camera body. If eye-start is off, the focal length can be
displayed by pressing the shutter-release button partway down
while pulling the zoom ring.
Flash Units
• All Minolta i, si, and HS series flash units, as well as the Vectis
SF-1 flash, are compatible with this camera. With these flash
units, the flash always fires when the flash unit is on. (Unless
Customized Function #6 is on setting 2; Autoswitchover. In this
case, the flash will fire only when necessary when it is on and the
camera is in P mode.)
• For AF series flash units (4000AF, 2800AF, 1800AF, and Macro
flash 1200AF), the Flash Shoe Adapter FS-1100 is required.
When the flash is on, it will fire every time the shutter is released.
The AF illuminator will not activate.
• X-series flash units can only be used when connected to the
camera's PC terminal by a sync cord.
