Konica Minolta retains a distinct advantage in the use of aspherical optics. With ordinary spherical lenses, the focal point varies according to whether the incident light passes through the central or peripheral part of the lens, thus producing spherical aberration. While perfect compensation has never been achieved, and is particularly difficult to compensate for in large diameter lenses, decreasing the lens curve or combining dispersion lenses are methods commonly used in an attempt to compensate for spherical aberration. Konica Minoltas aspherical lenses are developed not only to correct spherical aberration in large diameter lenses, but also to take high Focal plane contrast images with less blotting Spherical lens effects while in the largest aperture. Konica Minoltas aspherical lenses are effective in correcting distortion while Focal plane using wide and standard zooms. Whats more, the use of aspherical lenses Aspherical lens decreases the total number of lenses required to produce a complete lens. This Spherical aberration of spherical technology has enabled Konica Minolta lenses and corrected images using aspherical lenses. to create more compact lenses.

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.

Fill-flash - used as the main or supplementary light. In low-light conditions, the flash acts as the main source of illumination and overpowers the ambient light. Under strong sunlight or in backlit situations, the fill-flash can reduce harsh shadows. Fill-flash Red-eye reduction - used when taking photographs of people or animals in low-light conditions. The red-eye effect is caused by light reflected from the retina of the eye. The camera fires several pre-flashes before the main flash burst to contract the pupils of the subjects eyes. Rear sync. Rear flash sync - used with long exposures to make trailing lights or blurring appear to follow rather than proceed the subject. The effect is not apparent if the shutter speed is too fast and stops the subjects motion. When the shutter is released, a pre-flash fires. This pre-flash is not for exposure, but for metering. The flash fires again just before the shutter closes.
