- Special Features: Remote shutter release, full metal body, use of Autowinder D, Two-stop exposure offset, DoF preview button, eyepiece shutter for tripod use, PC connection for studio flash, self-timer (2-10s), adjustable diopter for eyeglass wearers in place of the viewfinder shutter
- Other Notes: “X” sync setting for 1/100 sec, plus fully mechanical operation at “O” (1/100 sec) and “B”. Can be used without batteries in fully mechanical mode at B for long exposures, or at “O” for 1/100 sec. This feature was included because photographers had traditionally been used to mechanical cameras, and there was still some hesitation at relying on a battery. What it means now is that for extremely long exposures the battery can be removed, resulting in zero current drain, and the shutter priority mode is considered by many Minolta enthusiasts to be far superior to the X-700's program mode. Also, the XD11 has a facility for the taking of multiple exposures, which is very difficult to do with the X-700.
