GETTING UP AND RUNNING

This section covers the preparation of the camera. This includes the changing of batteries, memory cards, and lenses as well as the use of external power supplies.

ATTACHING A LENS

This camera uses interchangeable lenses. See page 117 for compatible lenses. Never touch the inside of the camera, especially the lens contacts and mirror. Take care not to let dust enter the body. Remove the body cap from the camera and the rear cap from the lens. Always keep the camera strap around your neck in the event that you drop the camera. Pass the tip of the strap through the cameras strap eyelet from below (1). Attach the strap so the tip comes between the strap and the camera. The side of the strap with the remote-cord clip (p. 45) should be attached to the side of the camera with the remote-control terminal Align the red mounting index on the lens and camera body. Carefully insert the lens into the mount, then turn it clockwise until it clicks into the locked position. Do not insert the lens at an angle. If it does not fit, check its orientation with the index marks. Never force the lens.
ATTACHING THE CAMERA STRAP
Thread the tip of the strap through the holder ring and the inside of the buckle and pull to tighten (2). Leave some slack in the camera strap so the tip may be threaded through the buckle easily. Each time the camera is turned on, it automatically focuses the lens to the infinity position, even in manual focus. This operation is necessary to ensure proper exposures.

REMOVING A LENS

Press the lens release all the way in and turn the lens counter-clockwise until it stops. Carefully remove the lens.
Push the holder ring toward the strap eyelet to secure the strap to the camera (3). Repeat with the other end of the camera strap.

1. Open the card-slot door in the direction indicated.
2. Insert a memory card all the way into the card slot. Insert the card so the face is toward the front of the camera. Always push the card in straight. Never force the card. If the card does not fit, check that it is oriented correctly. 3. Close the card-slot door.

TURNING ON THE CAMERA

Slide the main switch to the on position to turn on the camera. The access lamp glows briefly to indicate the power is on. When not in use, turn the camera off to conserve power.
4. To eject a card, open the card-slot door, and press and release the card-eject lever to extend it. 5. Press the card-eject lever to eject the card. The card can now be pulled out. Take care when removing the card as it becomes hot with use. The card-eject lever should remain inside the camera body. If it extends, push it into the camera. 6. Insert a new memory card and close the card-slot door.

Access lamp

SETTING THE DATE AND TIME
After initially inserting a memory card and battery, a message opens requesting that cameras clock and calendar be set. Images are recorded with the date and time of capture. Depending on the region, the menu language may also have to be set. To change the language, see the setup menu section on pages 102 and 107.

BASIC RECORDING

SETTING THE CAMERA TO RECORD IMAGES AUTOMATICALLY
While pressing the Dial Lock Release, turn the exposure dial to the program (P) position. The camera controls the exposure system. Full-auto program (circled P) acts like the program mode, except that the many of the recording functions are reset each time it is selected, see page 40 for more information.
Turn on the camera. Navigating the screen is simple. The up/down and left/right keys of the controller move the cursor and change settings. The central button of the controller sets adjustments.

HANDLING THE CAMERA

Set date and time? Yes No
Use the left and right controller keys to select Yes. No cancels the operation.
Grip the camera firmly with your right hand while supporting the body with the palm of your left hand. Keep your elbows at your side and your feet shoulder-width apart to hold the camera steadily. The use of a tripod or monopod is recommended when using the camera in lowlight situations or when using telephoto lenses.

ANTI-SHAKE SYSTEM
The Anti-Shake system minimizes the affect of camera shake, a slight blurring caused by subtle hand motion. Camera shake is more pronounced at long focal lengths than short ones. AntiShake is less effective with moving subjects or when the camera is panned, shutter speeds of 1/4 second or longer, and short object distances. Anti-shake is disabled with bulb exposures (p. 45). When the system is active, the Anti-Shake scale in the viewfinder glows; the scale can be turned off in section 3 of the custom menu (p. 98). Anti-Shake can be turned off and on with the Anti-shake switch. Anti-shake switch Frame the subject as described in the basic operation section. Press the shutter-release button partway down to focus and set Anti-shake scale the exposure. The Anti-Shake scale indicates the degree of stabilization. The more LEDs displayed, the more unstable the image. Confirm the image has stabilized with the scale and press the shutterrelease button all the way down to take the picture. Anti-shake cannot be used with some lenses, see page 117. Turn Anti-Shake off when the camera is mounted on a tripod. The metered exposure may change when turning this function on and off.

DISPLAY BUTTON

Press the display button to switch the monitor display among full, basic, and off. For more on the full display, see page 16.

The full display uses a scale to show the degree of flash and exposure compensation as well as the metered exposure value in manual exposure. The basic display uses a numerical value. Turning off the display conserves battery power.

FULL-AUTO PROGRAM

Full-auto program is set with the exposure-mode dial. Use this exposure mode when wanting fully automatic operation. Full-auto program operates the same way as the program exposure mode, except that when the exposure mode dial is turned to the fullauto program position, the dial and menu functions are reset to their default settings. Dial settings may not be actual; confirm camera settings with the monitor. Turning the camera off does not reset the camera.
When adjusting the exposure in any of the exposure modes, the position of the exposure-compensation dial specifies the increment between 0.5Ev and 0.3Ev. For more on Ev see page 81. When changing the position of the exposure-compensation dial, confirm it is set to the zero (0) position or it will affect the exposures. See page 48 for more on the exposure-compensation dial. 0.5Ev steps
Functions are reset to: fill-flash or red-eye reduction flash mode, 14-segment honeycomb-pattern metering, Auto AF focus mode, wide AF area, single-frame advance drive mode, flash and exposure compensation reset, ADI flash control, auto white balance, auto camera sensitivity (ISO), large-size images, fine image quality, Natural color mode, Digital Effects reset, 0.3Ev / 3 frame bracket setup, noise reduction.

APERTURE PRIORITY - A

Aperture priority is set with the exposure-mode dial (p. 39). The photographer selects the aperture and the camera sets the appropriate shutter speed to ensure correct exposure. Turn either control dial to adjust the aperture. The aperture value changes depending on the position of the exposure-compensation dial, see camera notes on page 41. The aperture range depends on the lens. The aperture value can be seen on the monitor and in the viewfinder. Pressing the shutter-release button partway down displays the corresponding shutter speed. With the camera sensitivity (ISO) set to auto, the shutter speed may not change when the aperture is adjusted because the shutter speeds can change in fine steps. Press the shutter-release button all the way down to take the picture. If the required exposure is beyond the shutter speed range, the shutter-speed display blinks. Adjust the aperture until the display is steady. When using flash, the shutter speed cannot exceed the flash-sync speed. If the shutter-speed display blinks, adjust the aperture until the display is steady. Flash range is dependent on the aperture, see page 51.

SHUTTER PRIORITY - S

Shutter priority is set with the exposure-mode dial (p. 39). The photographer selects the shutter speed and the camera sets the appropriate aperture to ensure correct exposure. Turn either control dial to adjust the shutter speed between 30 and 1/4000 second. The shutter speed changes depending on the position of the exposure-compensation dial, see camera notes on page 41. The shutter speed can be seen on the monitor and in the viewfinder. Pressing the shutter-release button partway down displays the corresponding aperture. Press the shutter-release button all the way down to take the picture. If the required exposure is beyond the aperture range, the aperture display blinks. Adjust the shutter speed until the display is steady. When using flash, the shutter speed cannot exceed the flash-sync speed, see page 42. Flash range is dependent on the aperture, see page 51.

Color temperature refers to the color of the light emitted from a blackbody radiator at a specific temperature given in degrees Kelvin. This is an accurate way of measuring light from continuous-spectrum sources such as the sun and incandescent or tungsten light bulbs. However, color temperature can be inaccurate with discontinuous-spectrum sources such as fluorescent and mercury vapor.

The lens aperture controls not only exposure, but also depth of field; the area between the closest object in focus and the furthest object in focus. The larger the aperture value, the greater the depth of field and the longer the shutter speed needed to make the exposure. The smaller the aperture value, the shallower the depth of field and the faster the shutter speed needed to make the exposure. Usually landscape photographs use a large depth of field (large aperture value) to keep the foreground and background in focus, and portraits use a shallow depth of field (small aperture value) to separate the subject from the background. Depth of field also changes with focal length. The smaller the focal length, the greater the depth of field; the longer the focal length, the shallower the depth of field. The shutter controls not only exposure, but also the ability to stop motion. Fast shutter speeds are used in sport photography to stop action. Slow shutter speeds can be used to show the flow of motion such as water cascading over a waterfall. The use of a tripod is recommended with slow shutter speeds. For critical work, take a test photograph and view the result in playback (p. 34). The image can be deleted if not acceptable

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.

QUESTIONS AND SERVICE

If you have questions about your camera or charger, contact your local camera dealer or write to the Konica Minolta distributor in your area. Before shipping your camera or charger for repair, please contact a Konica Minolta service facility.

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. A special built-in battery supplies power to the clock and memory when the camera is exhausted or removed. If the camera resets each time the battery is removed, 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.

Exposure bracketing notes
Bracketing is a method of taking a series of images of a static subject in which each image has a slight variation in exposure. Exposure and flash brackets can be made. Bracketing increment in Ev (p. 69) Single-frame advance bracketing Continuous-advance bracketing Select continuous-advance bracketing or single-frame advance bracketing and the bracketing increment with the drive-mode selection screen (p. 50). Continuous-advance bracketing creates a successive series of three images automatically when the shutter-release button is pressed and held. The shutter-release button must be pressed for each exposure when using single-frame advance bracketing. The greater the increment, the greater the difference among the images. When selected, the number of frames and the bracketing increment is displayed on the Ev scale. The bracketing order can be set in section 2 of the recording menu (p. 80).
Compose the picture as described in the basic recording section (p. 28). As the bracket is made, the index marks disappear from the Ev scale to show the remaining frames. When making a continuous-advance bracket, if the shutter button is release before the bracket is completed, the bracket resets. If using continuous AF or Auto AF with moving subjects (p. 58), the camera focuses between each exposure. When exposure brackets are made in S exposure mode, the aperture controls the bracket. In A and M exposure modes, the shutter speed controls the bracket; in M mode, pressing the AEL button during the bracket changes the exposure control to the aperture. The camera uses both the aperture and shutter speed control the bracket in P and auto recording.

Bracketing indicator

White-balance bracketing notes
White-balance bracketing creates three images from a single exposure in which each image has a slight variation in color temperature. For more on white balance, see page 64.
Normal Under Exposure bracket: 0.3 Ev Over
Low white-balance bracket
High white-balance bracket
Select the appropriate white-balance bracketing drive mode with the drive-mode selection screen (p. 50). The low white-balance bracket uses an approximate 10 mired shift from the normal balance. The high white-balance bracket uses an approximate 20 mired shift from the normal balance. Compose and take the picture as described in the basic recording section (p. 28). When the exposure is made, the camera automatically creates two other images with the appropriate shift in white balance.

Sensitivity / Zone Matching

400 / AUTO

Use the four-way keys of the controller to highlight the sensitivity option. The Hi 200 and Lo 80 options are for Zone Matching, see below.
Press the center button of the controller to complete the operation.
The auto setting automatically adjusts the camera sensitivity to the light conditions between ISO 100 and 800, and ISO 100 and 400 when using flash. The fixed numerical settings are based on the film ISO equivalent: the higher the number, the more sensitive. As the ISO value doubles, the camera sensitivity doubles; a change of one Ev. Noise increases with sensitivity; an ISO setting of 100 has the least noise and 3200 has the most. Noise is a grainy texture that can be apparent in the image. Zone Matching is used for recording high-key (Hi200) or low-key (Low80) scenes. The number refers to the approximate ISO equivalent for reflected-light meter measurements. A high-key scene is made up of predominately light tones and colors. A low-key scene is made up of dark tones and colors. Zone Matching controls exposure and contrast to improve reproduction of these scenes. When selected, the zone indicator is displayed in the camera-sensitivity display on the monitor. Any changes to contrast with the Digital Effects Control are canceled (p. 63).

ACCESSORY NOTES

This section contains operation and compatibility information with camera accessories. Please read it in its entirety to achieve the best results with your camera.
ATTACHING THE EYEPIECE CAP
The supplied eyepiece cap prevents light from entering through the viewfinder and affecting the exposure meter or fogging the image when using the self-timer or during long exposures.

LENS COMPATIBILITY

All Konica Minolta AF lenses are compatible with this camera. MD and MC series lenses cannot be used. For our current line of lenses, contact your Konica Minolta dealer. The AF Macro Zoom 3X - 1X f/1.7-2.8 cannot be used with Anti-Shake (p. 32); turn Anti-Shake off. If a lens is equipped with a macro release, the release cannot be used with Anti-Shake. Focus range limiters set to a range that does not include infinity cannot be used. The focus range limiter on the SSM-series or D-series macro lenses can be used at any set range. Anti-Shake may not work with products made by another manufacturer. Carefully slide the eyepiece cup from around the viewfinder frame by pushing on each side of the cup.
Slide the eyepiece cap over the viewfinder. The cap should be attached to the camera strap to prevent loss. Replace the eyepiece cup after the exposure.

LENS SHADOWING

Lens shadowing occurs when the lens or lens hood blocks part of the output from the built-in flash. Lens shadowing appears as a semi-circular shadow at the bottom (horizontal pictures) or side (vertical pictures) of the image. Remove the lens hood before using the built-in flash. Focus distance must be 1m / 3.3ft or greater. The built-in flash can not be used with the AF 600mm f/4 Apo G(HS).

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. In a cold environment, the LCD monitor may become temporarily dark. When the camera warms up, the display will function normally. If fingerprints are on the LCD monitor surface, gently wipe with a soft, clean, dry cloth.
MEMORY CARD CARE AND HANDLING
Memory Cards are manufactured with precision electronic components. Konica Minolta has no responsibility for any loss or damage to data. It is recommended that a copy of the card data be made.

QUESTIONS AND SERVICE

If you have questions about your camera or charger, contact your local camera dealer or write to the Konica Minolta distributor in your area. Before shipping your camera or charger for repair, please contact a Konica Minolta service facility.

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. A special built-in battery supplies power to the clock and memory when the camera is exhausted or removed. If the camera resets each time the battery is removed, the battery is exhausted. It must be replaced at a Konica Minolta service facility. After initially inserting the battery, do not remove it for twelve hours; the camera can be off during this period. The main battery is used to charge an internal battery, which protects settings when the main battery is removed. Keep battery and camera charger contacts clean. Dirty contacts can prevent charging. If the contacts become dirty, wipe them with a cotton swab.
