Compatibility
This instruction manual is for the Minolta XG-1N 35mm film SLR camera. The vast majority of the content is also relevant to the earlier XG-1 model as both cameras were substantially the same, except for the finger grip, film memo holder, brighter screen and updated styling (both cameras were only labelled XG-1).
Some of the content (but not all) is also suitable for other similar models such as the XG-2 (XG-7, XG-E).
