Camera notes

BASIC RECORDING OPERATION
Place the subject within the AF area. The focus-lock function (p. 25) can be used with off-center subjects. If the subject is closer than 1m (3ft.) at the zoom lens wide-angle position or 3m (10ft) at the telephoto position, only use the LCD monitor to frame the subject.
Press the shutter-release button partway down (1) to lock the focus and exposure. The aperture value (f-number) and shutter speed is displayed at the top right of the monitor when the exposure is locked. The green viewfinder indicator lamp glows when the focus is locked; the red lamp glows if the flash is going to be used. If the green indicator lamp blinks, the camera could not focus, repeat the procedure.
Press the shutter-release button all the way down (2) to take the picture. After the shutter releases, the green viewfinder indicator lamp blinks and the red lamp glows while image data is being written to the memory card. Never remove a memory card while data is being transferred. If the shutter-release button is pressed and held, a series of consecutive images is captured. The previous image is displayed between exposures. The rate of capture depends on the image size and other functions used. The flash must recharge between exposures. With 2816 X 1536 size images and continuous-advance focus lock on (p. 80), the maximum rate of capture is 0.7fps.

FOCUS LOCK

The focus-lock function is used when you want to compose the image with the subject off-center and outside the AF area. Focus lock may also be used when a special situation prevents the camera from focusing on the subject (p. 26). This function is controlled with the shutter-release button. For information on continuous-advance focus lock, see page 80. Place the subject within the AF area. Press and hold the shutter-release button partway down and wait for the green viewfinder indicator lamp to glow to indicate the focus is locked. If the green lamp blinks, repeat the procedure.
Without lifting your finger from the shutter-release button, recompose the subject within the image area. Press the shutter-release button all the way down to take the picture.

FOCUS RANGE

The focus range depends on the zoom position. To focus closer than the distances below, use the macro focus mode (p. 30). Wide-angle position 0.5m - (1.6ft. - ) Telephoto position 0.8m - (2.6ft. - )

FOCUS SIGNALS

This digital camera has a quick, accurate autofocusing system. The green indicator lamp next to the viewfinder indicates the focus status. The shutter can be released regardless if the camera can focus on the subject or not. Focus confirmed - the green indicator lamp glows. Focus is locked. Cannot focus - the green indicator lamp blinks.

Flash cancel - the flash will not fire. Use flash cancel when flash photography is prohibited, natural light is desired to illuminate the subject, or the subject is beyond the flash range.
The slow-sync. option in the recording menu specifies the minimum shutter speed used with a particular flash mode to control camera shake. See page 48 for more information. The custom option in the setup menu (p. 77) allows the available flash modes to be edited.
FLASH RANGE - AUTOMATIC OPERATION
The camera automatically controls the flash output. For well-exposed images, the subject must be within the flash range. Because of the optical system, the flash range is not the same at the lens wide-angle position as it is at the telephoto position. The flash range can be changed with camera sensitivity (ISO), see page 51. Wide-angle position 0.5m ~ 3.0m ( 1.6ft ~ 9.8ft) Telephoto position 0.8m ~ 1.7m ( 2.6ft ~ 5.6ft)

FLASH SIGNALS

The red indicator lamp next to the viewfinder indicates the status of the flash. When the lamp glows, the flash is charging and will be used in the exposure.
FOCUS MODES AND SELF-TIMER
Macro and landscape focus modes as well as a self-timer can be selected by pressing the left key of the controller (1) until the appropriate mode is displayed. The active mode is displayed in the top left corner of the LCD monitor. Macro - used for close-up photographs. The minimum subject distance changes with the zoom position of the lens. Wide-angle position 6cm (2.4in) - Telephoto position 50cm (19.7in) -
Macro Landscape Self-timer Macro / Self-timer Landscape / Self-timer
If the subject is outside the flash range (p. 51), overexposure may result. To prevent the flash from firing, set the flash mode to flash cancel (p. 28). Always use the monitor to frame the image. The use of a tripod is recommended. Macro can be used with the self-timer, see below.
Landscape - focus is optimized for scenic pictures. The use of a tripod is recommended in in twilight or overcast conditions as shutter speeds can be long. The flash is canceled with this focus mode. Landscape can be used with the self-timer.

Shooting Tips

Camera shake is more noticeable with long exposures or close-up pictures. In these situations, place the camera on a tripod and make the exposure with the self-timer to prevent shaking the camera.

A SHORT GUIDE TO PHOTOGRAPHY
Photography can be a rewarding pursuit. It is a broad and disciplined field that can take years to master. But the pleasure in making photographs and the joy of capturing a magical moment cannot be compared. The guide is an introduction to some basic photographic principles. The zoom lens not only affects how large the subject is in the picture, but it also influences the depth of field and perspective. Depth of field is the area between the closest object in focus and the furthest object in focus. As the lens zooms in to the telephoto position, the depth of field becomes shallower, separating the subject from the background. Many portraits are taken with telephoto lenses. Zooming the lens out to the wide-angle position makes both the foreground and background appear sharper. Usually landscape photographs take advantage of the large depth of field of wide-angle lenses. Wide-angle lenses also create a strong perspective which gives a sense of depth in the image. Telephoto lenses compress the space between the subject and background and create a weak perspective.

WHAT IS AN EV?

Ev stands for exposure value. A change of one Ev adjusts the exposure by a factor of two.
+2.0 Ev 4X as much light +1.0 Ev 2X as much light Calculated exposure 1.0 Ev 1/2 as much light 2.0 Ev 1/4 as much light

APPENDIX

Troubleshooting
The section covers minor problems with basic camera operation. For major problems or damage, or if a problem continues to reoccur frequently, contact a Konica Minolta service facility.

Problem

The camera will not work.

Symptom

Nothing displayed on the monitor.
The battery is dead. The AC adapter is not connected properly.

Solution

Recharge battery (p. 14). Check that the adapter is connected to the camera and a live electrical outlet (p. 17).
Shutter will not release.
Memory-full warning appears on the monitor.
Memory card is full and unable to store an image at the resolution settings on the camera.
Insert a new memory card (p. 18), delete some images (p. 33), or change the resolution settings (p. 36).

Batteries

Battery performance decreases with temperature. In cold environments, we recommend keeping spare batteries in a warm place, such as the inside of a coat. Batteries can recover their power when they warm up. Do not store the battery when it is fully charged. When storing the battery for extended periods, recharge it for five minutes every six months. The battery may not be able to be charged if completely exhausted. Store batteries within -20C to 35C (-4F to 95F). A special built-in, long-life battery supplies power to the clock and memory when the camera is turned off. If the camera resets each time it is turned off, the battery is exhausted. It must be replaced at a Konica Minolta service facility. Keep battery and camera charger contacts clean. Dirty contacts can prevent charging. If the contacts become dirty, wipe them with a cotton swab.
Before important events and journeys
Check the cameras operation; take test pictures and purchase spare batteries. Konica Minolta has no responsibility for any damage or loss incurred by equipment malfunction.
Operating temperatures and conditions
This camera has been designed for use in temperatures from 0C to 50C (32F to 122F). Never leave the camera exposed to extreme high temperatures, such as in a car parked in the sun, or to extreme humidity. When taking the camera from a cold to a warm environment, place it in a sealed plastic bag to prevent condensation from forming. Allow the camera to come to room temperature before removing it from the bag.

LCD monitor care

The LCD monitor is manufactured using high-precision technology and more than 99.99% of the pixels operate properly. Less than 0.01% of the monitor pixels are displayed as color or bright points; this is not monitor defect and does not affect the recorded image. Do not apply pressure to the surface of the LCD monitor; it may be permanently damaged. If fingerprints are on the LCD monitor surface, gently wipe with a soft, clean, dry cloth.
