Terminal cover

BATTERY CONDITION INDICATOR
This camera is equipped with an automatic battery-condition indicator. When the camera is on, the indicator appears on the monitor. The indicator changes from white to red when battery power is low. Not all camera functions are available if battery power is low. If the monitor is blank, the battery may be exhausted. Full-battery indicator - the battery is fully charged. Low-battery indicator - battery power is low. Recharge the battery. Low-battery warning - battery power is very low. Recharge the battery. When power falls below the level of the low-battery warning, the battery exhausted message appears just before the camera shuts down. The camera will not function until the battery is recharged.

44 ADVANCED

By pressing and holding the AEL button (1), continuous meter readings are displayed on the Ev scales. Two indices can be displayed. The fixed index shows the meter reading made when the AEL button is pressed. The other index shows any changes in the metered area. The fixed index is in reference to the selected metering mode (p. 59). The other index uses the spot metering area to determine the reading. Spot metering area When using flash with manual exposure, the shutter speed cannot exceed the flash-sync speed (p. 42). Flash range is dependent on the aperture (p. 55).

BULB EXPOSURES

Bulb photographs can be taken in the manual-exposure mode (M). The use of a tripod, remote cord, and eyepiece cap (p. 111) is recommended. The cameras exposure system cannot be used to calculate bulb exposures. The use of a separate light meter is recommended. Anti-Shake is disabled. 1. Set the appropriate aperture required for the exposure. 2. Decrease the shutter-speed until BULB is displayed. 3. To take the picture, press and hold the shutter-release button for the duration of the exposure. Releasing the shutter button ends the exposure. The monitor is blank during the exposure and remains blank after the exposure for up to 30 seconds while noise-reduction processing is applied to the image.
EXPOSURE LOCK - AEL BUTTON
The AE lock button locks the automatic exposure system without activating the AF system. This function allows the exposure to be set by a gray card or reference target outside the scene. When using flash in the auto recording, P, A, or digital subject program exposure modes, slow-shutter sync is active (p. 47). The operation of the AE lock button can be changed in section 1 of the custom menu (p. 94).
Frame the exposure target in the viewfinder depending on the metering mode in use (p. 59). Press and hold the AE lock button (1) to lock the exposure; the shutter speed and aperture are displayed and the AEL indicator is displayed in the viewfinder and on the monitor. Release the button to cancel the lock.

Spot metering area

While holding the AEL button, place the subject in the focus frame and press the shutter-release button partway down to focus (2). Press the shutter-release button down all the way to take the picture. The exposure remains locked after the picture is taken if the AEL button is not released.

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.

72 RECORDING

The number of images that can be stored on a memory card is determined by the size of the card and the file size of the images. One memory card can contain images of differing sizes and quality. The actual file size is determined by the scene; some subjects can be compressed further than others. Approximate file sizes.

RAW Extra fine 282 Fine 470 Standard 277 926
The frame counter indicates the approximate number of images that can be stored on the memory card at the cameras image quality and size settings. If the settings are changed, the frame counter adjusts accordingly. Because the counter uses approximate file sizes, the actual image taken may not change the counter or may decrease it by more than one. When the frame counter displays zero, it indicates no more images at the image size and quality settings can be captured. Changing those settings may allow more images to be saved to the card.

ABOUT DPOF

This camera is supported by DPOF version 1.1. The DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) allows direct printing of still images from digital cameras. After the DPOF file is created, the memory card is simply taken to a photofinishing service or inserted into the memory -card slot of DPOF compatible printers. When a DPOF file is created, a misc. folder is automatically made on the memory card to store it (p. 120). DPOF print files cannot be made for RAW and embedded Adobe RGB images. Images using an Adobe RGB color mode may not be reproduced accurately (p. 61). Images selected for printing are indicated in the playback displays. The number of copies is displayed next to the indicator.

DPOF SETUP

The DPOF-set option is used to set an order for standard prints from digital images. Single, multiple, or all images on the memory card or in a folder specified with the view-folder option can be printed (p. 85). DPOF setup has three options: Marked frames - to choose a group of images to be printed or when the number of copies for each image varies. When selected, the frame-selection screen appears (p. 83). Use the left/right keys of the controller to highlight an image to be printed. Pressing the up key marks the image with the printer indicator. The number next to the indicator indicates the number of copies of that image will be printed. Pressing the up key increases the number of copies, pressing the down key decreases the number. A maximum of nine copies can be ordered. To deselect an image for printing, press the down key until the the number of copies reaches zero and the printer indicator disappears. Continue until all the images to be printed are marked. Press the controller to create the DPOF file, or press the menu button to cancel the operation and return to the playback menu. All in folder - to select images in the folder specified by the view-folder option. All on card - to select all images on the memory card for printing. When the all-in-folder or all-on-card option is chosen, a screen appears requesting the number of copies of each image; a maximum of nine copies can be ordered. Use the up/down keys of the controller to set the number of copies. If the all-on-card option was used to create a print order, any additional images saved afterwards in the folder are not be included in the order. DPOF files created with another camera are deleted when a DPOF file is created.

DATE IMPRINT

To print the date of capture with each image with a compatible DPOF printer, turn the menu option on. To cancel date imprint, simply turn the option off. How the date is printed varies with the printer. Not all printers support this function.

INDEX PRINT

To create an index print of all the images in the folder, set the option on. To cancel an index print, simply change the setting to off. If an index-print order is created, any additional images saved afterwards in the folder are not included in the index print. The number of images printed per sheet differs between printers. The information printed with the thumbnails can vary.

CANCEL PRINT

After the pictures have been printed, the DPOF file remains on the memory card and must be canceled manually. The cancel-print option in section 2 of the playback menu deletes the DPOF files. When the setting is selected, a confirmation screen appears; choosing and entering Yes executes the operation and cancels the print and index-print order. Two options are available: All frames C - To cancel all printing files on the memory card. All frames F - To cancel the printing file in the folder specified by the view-folder option.

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 AntiShake 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.

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).

FOCAL-LENGTH CONVERSION

Because the CCD is smaller than a 35mm frame, the angle of view obtained at a specific focal length is not the same. To calculate the approximate equivalent 35mm focal length, multiply the focal length in use by 1.5. A 100mm lens gives about the same angle of view as a 150mm lens on a 35mm camera.

CCD-PLANE

For some technical photographic applications such as macro photography, the position of the CCD plane is necessary. The illustration shows the approximate location of the CCD plane.
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. 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.
OPTIONAL VIEWFINDER ACCESSORIES
The Angle Finder VN and Magnifier VN can be used with this camera. The Angle Finder makes using the camera at low angles easier. The Magnifier enlarges the center of the viewfinder image for critical focusing especially for macro photography. These accessories are mounted on the viewfinder frame as described above. For more information on these and other accessories, contact your Konica Minolta dealer.

COMPACT DESIGN AND INTUITIVE OPERATION
The Dynax 5D combines sophisticated features and intuitive handling in a very compact camera body. Further functions are located on the camera back for intuitive control of the Dynax 5D.
EXTENSIVE ACCESSORY RANGE
An extensive range of system accessories of the Dynax series, including Program and Macro flashes, remote cable, camera bags, angle finder and more, expand the creativity the photographer. All lenses*1) of the Konica Minolta AF series can be used with the Dynax 5D and are compatible to the Konica Minolta Anti-Shake System.
SOPHISTICATED AUTOMATIC FUNCTIONS
In addition to extensive manual controls the camera also offers advanced automatic functions, which benefit from the centuries of Konica Minolta experience. Automatic exposure modes enable a novice to photography to take expressive portraits, impressive landscape shots and exciting shots of sporting events.
KONICA MINOLTA ANTI-SHAKE SYSTEM
What sets the DYNAX 5Ds Anti-Shake apart from all other camera-shake compensation systems is its exclusive CCD-Shift mechanism. Its so effective you can shoot at shutter speeds two or three steps slower than what you could use without it. And because the mechanism is integrated directly into the cameras body, it works with virtually any Konica Minolta Dynax AF lens*1).
*1) With the AF Macro Zoom 3X - 1X and some special lenses the Anti-Shake-System is turned off.

PHOTO SUBJECTS

PORTRAIT
Portraiture is one of the classic genre of photography. An expressive portrait is not just beautiful to look at, knowing a few photographic techniques will turn a photo into a masterpiece. The Dynax 5D is equipped with a special portrait subject program mode. By turning the function wheel to the portrait mode, the camera automatically chooses a large aperture to achieve a small depth of field.

Aperture 2.8

Aperture 11

GB D F

The aperture determines the depth of field

SMALL TELEPHOTO LENS

LARGE APERTURE
The use of a large aperture (e.g. f/2.8) enables a narrow depth of field, so that the person is distinctly separated from the background. The depth of field can be so small, that only the eyes are perfectly sharp and the tip of the nose and the ears are slightly defocused.
Using a short telephoto lens (85mm or more) narrows the angle of view and the portrait conveys a more flattering expression. With a longer focal length the depth of field decreases as well. A short focal length (smaller than 50mm) should be avoided.
TIP: With the Dynax 5D it is possible to choose individual AF sensors, so it is easy to place one of the AF sensors right on the person's eye.
Accessory softeners like the Konica Minolta Portrayer P filter set provide a smooth and harmonic reproduction of skin tones.

WIRELESS FLASH

The Program Flashes 3600HS (D) and 5600HS (D) can be controlled by wireless with the Dynax 5D. This enables the photographer to position the flash to the side to achieve a more natural illumination. The flash could also be positioned behind the person to create what's known as a headlight. TIP: The Dynax 5D also offers a portrait sRGB colour space for extra smooth and detailed rendering of skin tones (The portrait colour mode has to be set in the camera menu).

Program Flash 5600HS (D)

SOFT ILLUMINATION
Hard illumination, e.g. a flash coming from the front is very unflattering. Wrinkles and little imperfections of the skin become emphasised by the hard illumination and the face seems expressionless. By pointing the flash to the ceiling or using a flash diffuser to achieve a softer light. The results will be more pleasing, especially to the model!
The picture on the left which was shot with direct flash, the picture on the right was shot with indirect flash.

SPORT/ACTION

Taking images of fast moving subjects is a great challenge for both the photographer and the camera equipment. Releasing the shutter at the right moment is crucial for capturing an expressive image.

SPORTING EVENTS

Filling the image area with the subject from a distance requires lenses with a longer focal length (over 100mm). Telephoto lenses or zoom lenses with a large aperture (e.g. AF 100-300mm f/4.55.6 APO (D)) are most suitable, so that shooting with fast shutter speeds is still possible when the light conditions are not perfect. This enables the photographer to freeze a fast movement. The narrow depth of field that results from the large aperture separates the main subject from its background for even greater emphasis.
With a slower shutter speed a very dynamic effect can be achieved. A slower shutter speed needs to be set on the camera (e.g. 1/60), then the photographer has to follow the moving subject and during this movement the shutter has to be released. TIP: To get good results under difficult light conditions or with lenses with smaller apertures, a high ISO number (e.g. ISO 800) should be set on the camera. For short or medium distances (up to 25 m) a Program Flash can be used.
Lens AF 100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 APO (D)

CONTINUOUS ADVANCE

Thanks to the high speed Continuous Advance of the Dynax 5D the decisive moment of even a fast-moving subject can be captured easily. The photographer can capture a sequence of pictures of a moving subject , then select the best shot afterwards.
Lens AF 70-200mm/2.8 Apo G (D) SSM

IMAGES OF KIDS

Zoom lenses with a medium focal length such as the AF 28-75mm f/2.8 (D) (equivalent to 42113mm in 35mm format) are perfectly suited to most shooting conditions and they allow the photographer to adjust the magnification very quickly. The Autofocus of the Dynax 5D should be set to C (Continuous AF) to be able to release the shutter at any time.
TIP: The pre-flash for the "Red-Eye-Reduction" has to be turned off, as otherwise an unavoidable time lag occurs from pressing the shutter release button to the picture being taken. That makes a snapshot nearly impossible. To reduce red eye on photos, the use of a Program Flash is recommended (e.g. 3600HS (D)). Due to the larger distance from the flash to the optical axis, the chance of redeye is greatly reduced.

The continuous auto focus mode of the Dynax 5D makes for easy shooting of moving objects.

PHOTO SUBJECTS MACRO

The extensive accessory range of the Dynax 5D is perfectly suited capturing impressive images of tiny objects. Not only insects and flowers can be captured in extraordinary perspectives that are usually concealed to us in every day life. Full frame images can be taken of nearly everything you can think of, such as watches, jewellery, coins, stamps etc. (with the Dynax 5D an area of 23,5 x 15,7 mm can be captured full frame) whilst remaining a distance to the subject.

MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY

When you are photographing small animals like insects, the photographer needs to keep a distance from the subject to avoid disturbing them or casting a shadow across the scene. A macro lens with a long focal length (AF 100mm f/2.8 Macro (D) or AF 200mm f/4 Macro Apo G) offers a maximum magnification of 1:1
Lens AF 100mm f/2.8 Macro (D)
TIP: Due to the small depth of field in macro shots, it is recommended to use a small aperture (e.g. f/16). The Anti-Shake System of the camera can effectively reduce shake that results from the use of longer shutter speeds.
Ring Flash 1200 and Twin Flash 2400

F ES I

MACRO FLASH
To achieve the best illumination conditions at close distances and to freeze subject movement, two special System Flashes can assist the photographer: the Macro Ring Flash 1200 and the Macro Twin Flash 2400. Both flashes can be controlled automatically by the camera in all exposure modes. The four separately controllable flash tubes of the Macro Ring Flash 1200 provides a constant illumination over the whole image without the loss of a three-dimensional impression.
The Macro Twin Flash 2400 offers nearly unlimited flexibility and illumination options for close distance shots. Two independent reflectors can be positioned anywhere around the subject.
The macro flashes perfectly control the illumination of even small objects.
PHOTO SUBJECTS ARCHITECTURE
Documenting historical, famous or modern buildings has always been a popular subject for ambitious photographers. The landscape mode of the Dynax 5D is perfectly suitable for this job. A small aperture with low ISO setting delivers great depth of field combined with high image quality. TIP: To avoid converging verticals (parallel lines seeming to converge at a vanishing point) the camera should only be tilted upwards to a small extent when photographing tall buildings. Reflections on a window can be used as a creative element, or can be minimised by employing a polarizing filter if desired. TIP: Photographing in the "blue hour" at dawn, when the street lights are lit can induce very interesting and unusual lighting effects upon the architectural scenery or subject. Thanks to the Anti-Shake function it is often possible to take images in the "blue hour" without a tripod.

The AF 20mm f/2.8 provides a great depth of field and an emphasized perspective. Lenses with short to medium focal lengths, especially fixed focal lenses, are a must-have item for any architectural photographer. In addition using a telephoto lens lets you capture small details or take pictures of buildings in full from further distance.

SUNSET
Sunset mode provides special settings that meet the extraordinary light conditions of landscapes at dusk and dawn. The mode is optimised to reproduce the rich, warm colours of sunsets. A specific white balance is employed that accentuates several shades of red that are characteristic of the atmosphere of such scenes.

NIGHT PORTRAIT /

from the available light, because it is outside of the range of the flash light. Effective use of the built-in flash is only possible within its range. To illuminate a large group of people or larger objects, a more powerful Program Flash (2500 (D), 3600HS (D) or 5600HS (D)) is recommended. They are all controlled automatically by the camera, just like the built-in flash. For best results a tripod or at least a stable base (like a wall) should be used. The Remote Cables RC-1000 S or L (and also the self timer) prevent the camera from capturing any shake. The Anti-Shake System of the camera enables even longer shutter speeds to be used in low light situations.

NIGHT PORTRAIT

The Night Portrait mode of the Dynax 5D is well suited to taking images at night or in dark surroundings. This program optimises the balance between the available light and the flash light. A slower shutter speed is automatically set to achieve the right exposure for the background
The ambient light and the flash light is balanced in the Night Portrait mode. In normal flash mode the background of such a scene would be totally black.

PHOTOKNOWLEDGE ZONE MATCHING
The atmosphere, character and message of an image are quintessentially influenced by the distribution of black and white areas in the tonal values. In classic photography the specific subject-related use of illumination is described as high-key and low-key photography. In highkey images bright, finely distinguished highlight tones dominate and soft illumination is provided. Low-key images, consist predominantly of dark tones and harsher light is employed, which provides a three-dimensional feel that is rich in contrast and shadow detail. The zone matching mode of the Dynax 5D optimises all camera settings for high-key or lowkey images.

HIGH-KEY ZONE MATCHING

High-key mode provides fine highlight detail on images that consist of mainly bright areas. Exposure, sensitivity and gradation are adjusted in the best possible way so that the hightlights do not bleach out.

LOW-KEY ZONE MATCHING

Low-key mode achieves a wide graduation of shadow detail on images that predominantly consist of dark areas without showing noise in the dark areas.

PHOTOKNOWLEDGE SIZE / QUALITY
In the camera menu you find the topics Image Size and Quality. The result of both is similar in one way, but the way they work differs a lot. Using those functions means, that choosing a higher Quality or a larger Image Size leads to fewer images on the memory card. But why are there two settings?
WHAT IMAGE SIZE IS THE BEST TO USE?
The maximum output size of an image (how large it can be printed), depends on the amount of data the file contains. An A4 size print for example needs at least 3 million pixels. So if you already know before shooting that you only want a small print out of the image, or you want to display it on the internet, you can reduce the image size in order to save space on the memory card. TIP: Record the image always in a higher size than you need, because you can always resize images on the computer later. Usually the maximum image size is used, so that images can be used flexibly for a lot of different applications.

IMAGE SIZE (RESOLUTION)

The function of the topic Image Size is pretty simple. The CCD chip, which produces the image, consists of millions of tiny picture elements (pixel). Using the maximum image size, all pixels of the CCD are used. Reducing the image size means that not every pixel gets used. Therefore the image size can only be 3 or 1.5 million pixels instead of the maximum 6 million pixels.

QUALITY

The topic Quality determines the data format in which the image is saved on the memory card.

Small Resolution

- 14 -

Medium Resolution

High Resolution
Choosing RAW Quality, the image is always recorded at the maximum resolution (full image size). The RAW format saves the image data before the actual calculations of colour, contrast, and sharpness of the camera software start. Those calculations have to be done afterwards on the computer, using imaging software like the DiMAGE Master Lite, or the optional DiMAGE Master. The RAW format enables best image quality, but needs some post-processing on the computer. Image files recorded in RAW format can be very large (approx. 8.8 MB); therefore it takes more time to save them on the memory card.

Extra Fine, Fine, Standard indicate how much an image becomes folded (how much it is compressed). The more an image is compressed, the more image details get lost. Shooting objects with a very fine structure, it is recommended to use a low compression rate.
TIP: With most objects the setting Standard is absolutely sufficient. The setting Fine or Extra Fine should be used when subject structures are very detailed.
EXTRA FINE, FINE, STANDARD
Choosing Extra Fine, Fine, or Standard under the topic Quality, means, that images are saved in JPEG format. In contrast to RAW, images are compressed in JPEG format. The image size remains the same, but the image file occupies less space on the memory card. You can imagine compressing an image as folding it, so that it creases and the quality decreases. As soon as the image is unfolded, it has its original file size again.
Low JPEG Compression / High JPEG Compression

PHOTOKNOWLEDGE ANTI-SHAKE
Despite autofocus it is still possible that pictures may be blurred. Often it is not the fault of the autofocus system but rather the result of camera shake. Unfortunately camera shake happens frequently and it is a particular problem when using slower shutter speeds and longer focal lengths. However, Konica Minoltas Anti-Shake puts things right. The high precision CCD-shift process applies a unique stabilizing mechanism. A sensor detects the degree of camera shake and the camera is able to compensate for this shake by shifting the CCD.
THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF LIGHT
To expose a picture correctly a particular amount of light is necessary. For that the camera has two possibilities to control the amount of light. Either the aperture can be changed or the exposure time can be varied.
The Anti-Shake unit compensates the camera shake by shifting the CCD.

WITHOUT ANTI-SHAKE

Rule of thumb to calculate the longest safe shutter speed without Anti-Shake:
The Anti-Shake System instantly and precisely shifts the CCD to compensate camera motion. (Shutterspeed example picture 1/30 sec)

1 focal length (in mm)

For example, when taking a picture with a lens of focal length 250 mm without Anti-Shake: the longest safe shutter speed is = 1/250 mm = 1/250 s

KONICA MINOLTA - LENSES

MIRROR TELE LENS

Extreme telephoto capture are possible with the AF 500 mm f/8 Reflex, the worlds first AF telephoto mirror lens. Due to its compact and light weight design it is extremely popular among nature photographers. The high speed fixed focal length tele lens AF 300mm f/2.8 is due to its high image quality not just a dream lens for ambitioned nature or sports photographers. These two brilliant lenses are perfectly supported by the Anti-Shake System of the Dynax 5D that shows all its power when used in combination with a tele lens. Both lenses with SSM functions are equipped with the new super sonic motor that guarantees fast and quiet focussing. TIP: The focal length of the SSM lenses can be extended with minimal loss of quality using the dedicated Tele Converters AF 1.4X Apo (D) and AF 2X Apo (D). The Anti-Shake System of the Dynax 5D compensates the loss of light with ease.

Because of the special construction it is equipped with a fixed aperture of f8 this usually means a tripod is essential, but in this case the Konica Minolta Anti-Shake System and the high speed CCD of the Dynax 5D enable free hand shooting in a lot of situations.

PROFESSIONAL LENSES

The SSM lenses are especially designed to fulfil the highest quality demands of professional photographers. The zoom lens AF mm offers a largest aperture of 2.8 over the whole range of focal length and is the perfect tool for a light to medium tele range.

TIP: Discover the night sky and try out some astrology photography. With the AF APO 600 mm f/4 G for example, full format capture of the moon are no problem with an effective focal length of 900 mm when mounted on the Dynax 5D!

DT TECHNOLOGY

The lenses of the DT series (abbr. for Digital Technology) are exclusively developed for the digital Dynax cameras. The image circle of the lenses is adjusted to the CCDs size.
Lens AF 16 mm f/2.8 Fisheye
TIP: Be creative and experiment with the effects of extreme distorsion. When shooting landscape from a straight camera position, only the horizontal line is reproduced undistorted.
Lens AF DT 11-18mm f/4,5-5,6 (D)

G SERIES

All of the G series` lenses feature high quality components as for instance AD glass and multilayered coating. The lenses of the G series are at the very peak of the Dynax lens system.

FISHEYE LENS

The typical fisheye effect is perfecty suited for creative landscape, architecture and indoor shooting. Attached to the Dynax 5D an effective viewing angle of approximately 120 is achieved due to the multiplying factor of 1.5x.
The AF 16mm f/2.8 fisheye lens creates impressive pictures with its extreme wide angle of view,

KONICA MINOLTA - FLASH SYSTEM

PROGRAM FLASH 5600HS (D)

The most obvious difference between the three Konica Minolta Program Flashes is their guide number, which is indicated by the two first numbers (e.g. 36 for the 3600HS (D)). The built in flash of the Dynax 5D has a guide number of 12. The Program Flash 5600HS (D) provides all possibilities for ambitious flash photography. With its high power you can even illuminate subjects at long distances. With manual flash control and creative features like strobe flash the 5600HS (D) covers all kinds of flash photography. The flash-head of the Program Flash 5600HS (D) can not only be tilted up and downwards but also be swivelled 180.

PROGRAM FLASH 2500 (D)

This handy flash is useful for shooting subjects within a few meters. The flashhead can be rotated up to 90 degrees, if you prefer indirect flash illumination (for instance to bounce off the ceiling). This leads softer light which is favourable in order to obtain a natural, high definition portrait.

PROGRAM FLASH 3600HS (D)

The 3600HS (D) features good power and a lot of functions for creative and versatile flash photography. wireless flash control allows independent flash illumination. A zoom reflector automatically adjusts the flash coverage to the focal length of the lens (between 24 and 85mm).
With a flash sync to rear curtain you can create dynamic images.

HIGH-SPEED SYNC (HSS)

The 3600HS (D) and the 5600HS (D) offer HSS. HSS enables you to use faster camera shutter speeds than the flash sync speed. This function can especially be used for portraits that are captured outdoors, since the fill flash lets the face stands clearly out from the background.

- 22 -

WIRELESS
The Program Flash 3600HS (D) and 5600HS (D) can be used off the camera. In this way you can generate a perfect illumination where the flash light illuminates the subject from the side for instance.

MACRO TWIN FLASH 2400

Macro Twin Flash 2400 has two light tubes which are attached to the lens with flexible holders. Since the light tubes are arranged further from to the optical axis - in contrast to the Macro Ring Flash tubes- the Twin Flash creates a more threedimensional illumination which is desired e.g. with the photography of flowers or insects.

SYNC TO REAR CURTAIN

Normally the flash is released at the beginning of the exposure. If you set the camera to sync to rear curtain the flash is released at the end of the exposure. In the image the start of the movement is blurred and the end of the movement is frozen by the flash.
The Macro Twin Flash gives complete control over the light for macro photography.

MACRO RING FLASH 1200

With macro photography the lens is very close to the subject and a standard flash is not able to Illumination small subjects at close range. The macro ring flash is directly attached to the lens. The Ring Flash 1200 delivers a controlled illumination for e.g. medical images.
