How to Operate the Minolta Freedom 3
Camera
The Minolta Freedom 3 is a very versatile camera that is very easy to
operate, making it the perfect camera for the beginning photographer. Most
35mm cameras require you to adjust the amount of light to be allowed onto
the film and to focus the camera. The Minolta Freedom 3 does this for you,
as well as advancing each picture to the next frame. You will be able to take
professional quality pictures after mastering these following easy steps: (1)
loading the film, (2) taking the picture, and (3) unloading the film.
Equipment and Supplies

lot of activity.
