The Minolta XG-1 is a classic single lens reflex camera. Once film is installed, the camera is easy to learn how to use. You can take as many pictures as you have film for as long as the camera is clean and the shutter speed and light-meter mechanisms are set.

Clean any dust or dirt off the camera with a soft cloth. Use a sheet of lens paper to clean the lens to avoid scratching it. Dust left on the lens will interfere with the image you are trying to shoot and dust on the camera body can coat the film when it is being loaded.
2Check the batteries. The Minolta XG-1 uses A-76 batteries to operate its light meter system, which determines film exposure. A dial on the left of the camera controls and measures battery power. Rotate the dial to BC, or battery charge. If the batteries are charged, a light on the left of the lens will illuminate.
3Change the batteries if the light did not turn on. To install them, use a coin to open the round plug on the bottom of the camera. Pull the plug and batteries out and replace the batteries. Check the battery light again after installing new batteries.
4Set the shutter speed to a slow setting to test the shutter. A dial on the right of the camera controls the shutter speed, with speeds ranging from 1 second to 1/1,000ths of a second. Line the 1 up with the small line next the camera's prism and look through the viewfinder. Push the operating button in the middle of the shutter-speed dial. There will be a click and the screen should go dark for a second while a picture is taken.
5Pull the film advance lever behind the shutter dial to advance film to the next frame. If the lever doesn't move, rewind and replace the film.
6Rewind the film using the small toggle in the center of the left dial. Push the small unlock button on the right of the camera bottom. Open the toggle on top of the camera and wind it counterclockwise until you feel a slight resistance as the film comes free.
7Pull up the knob with the toggle to open the camera's back and remove a film canister.
8To place a new film canister in the camera, pull the film tail across the back of the camera and slide it into the slot in the right spindle. Pull the film advance lever once so that the spindle catches the film.
9Close the camera and turn it on. Adjust the shutter speed to the right setting for your lighting and check the light meter before taking pictures.
