In this issue, we will look at the pop-up flash for Minolta film autofocus SLR cameras released in 1991.
What is a pop-up flash?
In an SLR camera, a pop-up flash is a flash that is built into the eye-level finder section, which bears the manufacturer’s logo, and pops up to the top when shooting.
MINOLTA α3xi (Reference product)
It will be a plastic black color film autofocus SLR camera.

In this article, we have introduced a pop-up flash for a Minolta film autofocus SLR camera released in 1991.
In terms of design, you can see that it is an orthodox and serious design.
The flash is slim but resembles a car headlight.
It is a cool design.
