Press the center button of the controller to select the drive mode. An indicator is displayed on the monitor to confirm the selection.

CONTINUOUS-ADVANCE NOTES

Continuous-advance mode allows a series of images to be captured while holding down the shutter-release button. The maximum frame rate is 3fps until the camera buffer memory is full. The frame rate after that depends on the writing speed of the memory card. Five RAW or three RAW + JPEG will fill the camera buffer memory. The number of JPEG images depend on the subject; some subjects can be compressed further than others. AF Zoom xi and Power Zoom lenses cannot be zoomed when taking pictures with continuous advance. The frame rate is affected by the flash as it must recharge between exposures. Focus and exposure are set between each frame with continuous AF and Auto AF.

SELF-TIMER NOTES

With the camera on a tripod, compose the picture as described in the basic recording section (p. 28). Press the shutter-release button partway down to lock the exposure and focus. Press the shutter-release button all the way down to begin the countdown. Because focus and exposure are determined when the shutter-release button is pressed, do not stand in front of the camera when taking a self-timer image. Always confirm the focus with the focus signals before beginning the countdown. Attach the eyepiece cap if a bright light source is behind the camera, see page 111. With the ten-second self-timer, the self-timer lamp on the front of the camera and the audio signals indicate the countdown.The lamp glows steadily just before the shutter fires. To stop the countdown, change the position of the exposure-mode dial or flash (lift it or push it down), or turn the camera off. The audio signal can be turned off in section 1 of the setup menu (p. 98). The mirror raises just before the exposure. With the two-second self-timer, no indication is given during the countdown. The mirror raises when the countdown starts.

Adobe RGB has a larger color gamut than the more common sRGB. The size of the gamut limits the colors that can be reproduced; the larger the gamut, the more colors. If the image will be printed out with a high-quality printer, the use of the Embedded Adobe RGB and Adobe RGB color modes are recommended over the other sRGB color modes. Embedded Adobe RGB image files are indicated with a.JPE extension. Adobe RGB images without an embedded profile use a file name beginning with _ICT. See page 120 for more information. Always use DFC 2.0 optional color space compliant software to open Adobe RGB images without embedded profiles. DiMAGE Master Lite 1.0.1 or DiMAGE Master 1.1 or later is DFC 2.0 optional color space compliant. Always use software with color matching or color management functions to open Adobe RGB images with embedded profiles. Software without color management functions, such as Kodak EasyShare, will not reproduce Adobe RGB images correctly. DiMAGE Master Lite supplied with the camera is required to open RAW Adobe RGB images taken with this camera. The full version of DiMAGE Master can also be used.

A SHORT

GUIDE TO PHOTOGRAPHY

LIGHT SOURCES AND COLOR

The human eye adapts itself extremely well under different conditions. The paper of this manual you are reading looks white regardless of the type of lighting. Photographic systems are much less flexible. As the light source changes, so does the overall color of a scene - fluorescent office ceiling lights create a green cast to pictures, regular household tungsten light bulbs make everything red. Like your eyes, the cameras whitebalance controls adjust for different lighting to make natural looking pictures. The most common source of light, our sun, changes color depending on the time of day and the atmospheric conditions. The sun is of course very warm near the horizon and very blue at noon. The daylight preset white-balance setting is for beautiful sunny days. When the weather is overcast, the color is cooler and the cloudy setting is appropriate. When the main light source is skylight, light from the blue sky rather than the direct light of the sun, the resulting color is very blue. The shade preset white-balance is designed for this condition. Artificial lighting is more consistent but shows variations. Tungsten lamps become warmer as their wattage decreases. And fluorescent lamps come in classifications that define their color. The preset white balance settings can be adjusted to match the change in these light sources. Some artificial lighting have a discontinuous spectrum that create very unnatural color in a photograph. White balance cannot correct high-energy vapor lighting: sodium-vapor (yellow highway lights), or mercury vapor. For portraits under these lighting conditions, the flash can be used to overpower the ambient light. With landscapes containing these types of lights, set the white balance to the preset daylight setting.

WHAT IS AN EV?

Ev stands for exposure value. A change of one Ev adjusts the exposure calculated by the camera by a factor of two. An Ev and a stop are the same. +2.0 Ev +1.0 Ev 0.0 Ev 1.0 Ev 2.0 Ev 4X as much light 2X as much light Calculated exposure 1/2 as much light 1/4 as much light

Image size affects the number of pixels in each image. The greater the image size, the larger the file size. Choose image size based on the final use of the image - smaller images are more suitable for web sites whereas larger sizes produce higher quality prints. Image quality controls the file type and rate of compression. RAW is high-quality image file. The extra fine, fine, and standard settings produce JPEG files at various rates of compression. The higher the image quality, the lower the rate of compression and the larger the file sizes. If economical use of the memory card is important, use the standard mode. The RAW & JPEG option creates two image files at one time, a large RAW file and a fine quality JPEG file with an image size selected with the menu. The image files are saved with the same file name, but with different extensions (p. 120). In the RAW image-quality mode, the image size is set to large and cannot be changed. The image size is not displayed on the monitors. The enlarged playback and print functions cannot be used. Unlike the other image-quality modes, RAW image data is unprocessed and requires image processing before it can be used. To process the RAW data, DiMAGE Master 1.1 or later, or DiMAGE Master Lite 1.0.1 or later is required. A copy of DiMAGE Master Lite 1.0.1 is supplied with the camera.

Raise the built-in flash on the camera and position the camera and flash around the subject. See the following page for operating ranges.
Make sure no objects come between the camera and flash unit. The flash units can be test fired by pressing the AEL button on the camera. AEL button setup in section 1 of the custom menu should be set to one of the hold options. If the flash does not fire, change the camera, flash, or subject position. The slow shutter sync is active in auto recording, P, A, and digital subject program exposure modes (p. 47). When the 5600HS(D) and 3600HS(D) flash is charged, the AF illuminator on the front of the unit blinks. The viewfinder flash signal shows the status of the camera flash (p. 31). Take a picture as described in the basic recording section on page 28. Wireless/Remote flash performs best under subdued light or interior lighting. Under bright light sources, the flash may not be able to detect the control signals from the cameras built-in flash. When not using off-camera flash units, always turn off the wireless flash mode in section 2 of the recording menu, or inaccurate flash exposures will result. The 5600HS(D) and 3600HS(D) flash units can be reset simultaneously with the camera. Simply mount the flash unit in the accessory shoe and change the wireless flash mode setting on the menu to another flash mode. High-speed sync. is available, see page 112.

78 RECORDING

FLASH CONTROL
ADI and pre-flash TTL flash control are available. Flash control is changed in section 2 of the recording menu (p. 70). The flash control used depends on the lens and flash combination. ADI (Advanced Distance Integration) flash metering combines distance information from D-series lenses with information from a pre-flash exposure. ADI metering is less influenced by subject reflectance. The camera automatically switches from ADI metering to pre-flash TTL when the autofocus system is prevented from focusing. When using the Macro Twin Flash 2400 , Marco Ring flash 1200 or a wireless or off-camera flash unit, flash control is set to preflash TTL. When using the Maxxum / Program Flash 2500(D), switch both the flash unit and camera to ADI metering. Pre-flash TTL - calculates flash exposure with a pre-flash only. This mode must be used with close-up filters or filters that reduce the amount of light entering the camera such as neutral density filters. Pre-flash TTL must be used when a diffuser is attached to the builtin flash, the wide-angle adapter with the Maxxum / Program flash 3600HS(D), bounce flash with the Maxxum / Program Flash 2500(D), or an external flash unit.

Konica Minolta History

On February 20th, 1962, John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth. On board his Friendship 7 spacecraft was a Minolta Hi-matic camera to record that historic event. The 4 hour, 55 minute, and 23 second flight orbited the Earth three times at an average speed of 28,000 kph (17,500 mph). Mr. Glenn visited our Sakai camera factory in Japan on May 24th, 1963 to plant a palm tree to celebrate the occasion. The palm tree is still in the courtyard of the factory and stands over eight meters tall (26ft). The camera? It was not lost. It is on display at the Smithsonian Institutions National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C. This and other objects from John Glenns Friendship 7 Mercury flight can be found in galley 210, Apollo to the Moon.
