The Minolta X-570's ability to balance flash light with ambient light?

Got this at a garage sale (I hate these things but, alas, my wife loves them). Cost me $35 including a 50/1.7 lens. Everything works at it has a few things other film cameras don't have. Can anyone guess what that might be? Anyway a nice rig.

Hello kivis!

Are you thinking of this feature as one of the few things the Minolta X-570 (X-500 in Europe) has that other film cameras don't have?

* When using a Minolta 360PX or 280PX or 132PX or 80PX flash unit on the Minolta X-570/X-500 and holding down the exposure lock button while releasing the shutter, the camera will balance the flash light with the ambient light.
