Minolta introduces the Vectis 260 lens-shutter camera featuring a wide-to-telephoto 25mm - 65mm (approx. 31 - 81mm in the 35mm format) lens with 2.6X zoom range, and incredibly compact design with metallic-silver finish. In addition to simple, carefree, and fun-to-use Advanced Photo System features, Vectis 260 assures clear and sharp pictures every time. The Vectis 260's Advanced Photo System features include fuss-free drop-in loading and film chamber lock, which assures simple and safe handling. The Advanced Photo System also broadens pleasure in photography with triple format selection. User select title imprinting allows the user to title a once-in-a-lifetime photograph from more than 30 pre-set selections in 12 different languages. The great moment can be retraced even better with date/time imprinting. Better-quality prints can be achieved by the photofinisher with the PQI (Print Quality Improvement) feature. Another delight the Vectis 260 offers is striking imaging performance. Versatile flash provides autoflash with red-eye reduction, night portrait, and landscape/night view modes in addition to regular autoflash, manual fill-flash, and flash cancel modes. Clear and sharp pictures are assured with a 4-element, 4-group zoom lens including a double-sided aspheric glass element and the class leader focusing steps of about 200. Moreover, remote control capability offers an extra benefit to the users. The capsule-type body's front features a sharp, well-balanced design while a metallic silver finish gives the camera a sophisticated look.
