Minolta AF-Sv

[El Horla]

Hi, people, I´ve bought this camera but it doesn't came with
the manual, I've surfed the net for days, to only found it for
sale, and being in Argentina means that buying via internet is pricey and difficult.

So I would really appreciate if anybody could share it with me,
if it exists in PDF or another format, maybe an URL I didn´t check.

Some links I did find:

I bought exactly this model (the french and german speaking version) it sounds funny 😀

TV commercial

Also known as TALKMAN

A video some guy uploaded to youtube

Some japanese pages: 1 2


Thanks in advance

I've started using the camera, haven´t finished the first roll yet (still looking for the manual), but I want to let you know one simple and great feature this Minolta have:
When you press the shutter, it takes the picture, but if you hold your finger there, it doesn't advance the film until you release it.
This is perfect for candids, you can take the picture and let the camera do the noise later, when you get away.
I wish my other cameras would work this way. Do you know another cameras that have this implemented?

(sorry for my english, hope I explained myself)

Cheers

IIRC this or a similar model was sold in the USA as "The Talker".

I have a Canon AF35M that I am running my first roll through. Like your Minolta, the film does not advance until you release the shutter button. The shutter button on my Canon sticks occasionally - sometimes, I have to jostle it with my finger so that it will return completely and advance the film. Oh well, it's about 30 years old 🙂
