A fine camera good for any type of photographer. Enough for a pro and plenty for a beginner but not too overwhelming. Excellent images http://gallery. When it first selling in Hong Kong, I bought it at an expensive price. Then, I discover that there are a lot of problems with this camera. 1. THIS IS ONE GREAT FEATURED, SOLID BUT UNDERATED CAMERA. THE PHOTOS AND LOW NOISE IN THE HIGH ISO ARE EXCELLENT. SOLID BODY.

The anti-shake system is a nice feature; no doubt about it. However, if you are worried about the effects of shaking, and on a limited budget. I am so glad I made the decision to purchase this digital camera. It has all the features I wanted and so much more.

CAMERA-SHAKE WARNING

If the shutter speed falls below the point where the camera can be hand held safely, the camera-shake warning indicator blinks in the viewfinder. Camera shake is slight blurring caused by subtle hand motion and is more pronounced with telephoto lenses than wide angle. Although the warning appears, the shutter can still be released. If the warning appears, place the camera on a tripod or use the built-in flash.

USING THE BUILT-IN FLASH

The built-in flash is designed to be used with lenses with focal lengths from 18mm or longer. When using lenses shorter than 18mm, the corners of the image are not be fully illuminated. The lens hood and certain lenses can cause shadowing, see page 110. The shutter will not release while the flash is charging. To use the flash, simply pull up the unit by the tabs on each side. The flash position must be set manually, and once up, the flash unit always fires regardless of the amount of ambient light. The flash mode is changed with the recording menu (p. 75). Push down the built-in flash when the camera is not in use. The flash is also used as an AF illuminator, see page 96. The viewfinder flash signal indicates the status of the flash.
Signal steady - flash charged and ready to fire. Signal blinking - flash output was sufficient for exposure. If the flash signal does not blink after taking the picture, the subject was not within the flash range. The flash range depends on the aperture used for the exposure. The follow chart shows the range when camera sensitivity is set to auto (auto recording) or ISO 100 (program). See page 55 for the flash range with other camera sensitivity settings. Aperture f/2.8 f/3.5 f/4.0 f/5.6 Auto ISO (Auto recording) 1.4 ~ 8.6m / 4.6 ~ 28ft. 1.1 ~ 6.8m / 3.6 ~ 22ft. 1.0 ~ 6.0m / 3.3 ~ 20ft. 1.0 ~ 4.3m / 3.3 ~ 14ft. ISO 100 (Program exposure) 1.0 ~ 4.3m / 3.3 ~ 14.ft. 1.0 ~ 3.4m / 3.3 ~ 11.ft. 1.0 ~ 3.0m / 3.3 ~ 9.8ft. 1.0 ~ 2.1m / 3.3 ~ 6.7ft.

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. Anti-Shake is less effective with moving subjects or when the camera is panned, with shutter speeds of 1/4 second or longer, and short object distances. Anti-shake is disabled with bulb exposures (p. 45).
Anti-shake switch When the system is active, the Anti-Shake scale in the viewfinder glows. Anti-Shake is turned off and on with the Anti-shake switch. Frame the subject as described in the basic operation section. Press the shutter-release button partway down to focus and set the exposure. The Anti-Shake scale indicates the degree of stabilization. The greater the scale displayed, the more unstable the image. Confirm the image has stabilized with the scale and press the shutter-release button all the way down to take the picture. Anti-shake cannot be used with some lenses, see page 110. Turn Anti-Shake off when the camera is mounted on a tripod. The metered exposure may change when turning this function on and off.

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.

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.

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.

ATTACHING A REMOTE CORD

The optional remote cords (RC-1000S or RC-1000L) can be used to reduce vibrations from touching the camera during long exposures. Open the remote-control terminal cover from the right. The cover is attached to the body to prevent loss; take care not the sever the connector. Insert the plug of the remote cord into the terminal (1). The cord can be attached to the camera strap. Open the remote-cord clip on the strap and push the cord into the grove. Close the clip until it clicks into place (2).
ATTACHING AN ACCESSORY FLASH UNIT
To extend the versatility of the camera, an accessory flash unit (sold separately) can be used. Always remove the accessory flash when the camera is not in use, and replace the accessory-shoe cap to protect the contacts.
Slide the accessory-shoe cap off as shown. Mount the flash unit on the accessory shoe by sliding it forward until it stops.

FLASH COMPATIBILITY

The following flash units are compatible with this camera: Maxxum/Program Flash 2500(D) Maxxum/Program Flash 3600HS(D) Maxxum/Program Flash 5600HS(D) Macro Ring Flash 1200 with Macro Flash Controller Macro Twin Flash 2400 with Macro Flash Controller

HIGH-SPEED SYNC. (HSS)

This camera is compatible with the High Speed Sync. (HSS) function in the Program/Maxxum Flash 5600HS(D) and 3600HS(D). This allows the camera to use its full range of shutter speeds up to 1/4000 second. HSS cannot be used with the 2-second self-timer drive mode nor the rear sync. flash mode. Attach a compatible flash unit to the camera. Set the flash unit to HSS. When the shutter speed exceeds the camera sync. speed, the High Speed Sync. indicator (H) is displayed on the monitor and in the viewfinder.
High Speed Sync. indicator

PC FLASH ADAPTER PCT-100

The PC Flash Adapter PCT-100 allows a studio or location flash system to be connected to the camera with a standard PC cord. The adapter is compatible with both center positive (normal polarity) and center negative (positive polarity) flash units with a voltage of 400V or lower. The software upgrade included with the PCT-100 should not be used. To ensure correct exposures, use the manual exposure mode. Set the shutter speed equal to or slower than the flash duration; refer to the flash units instruction manual. The cameras flash-compensation function has no affect on the flash exposure. To make an exposure bracket, press and hold the AEL button during the bracketing series to control the exposure with the aperture rather than the shutter speed. The use of custom white balance is recommended. When calibrating the camera, use the shutter speed and aperture settings require for the final exposure. A gray card may have to be used as the reference target with powerful flash units to reduce the intensity of the illumination. If custom white balance is not practical, use the preset daylight or flash setting or set the color temperature to the flash units color temperature if known; auto white balance is not recommended.

Image files contain exif tag data. This data includes the time and date the image was recorded as well as the camera settings used. This data can be viewed with the camera or the DiMAGE Master and DiMAGE Master Lite software. If a camera image is opened in an image-processing application that does not support Exif tags, and then the image is saved overwriting the original data, the Exif tag information is erased. Some Exif compatible applications rewrite the Exif data preventing DiMAGE Master Lite from reading it. When using software other than DiMAGE Master or DiMAGE Master Lite, always rename the image file to protect the exif tag data. To view images correctly on your computer, the monitors color space may need to be adjusted. Refer to your computer manual on how to calibrate the display to the following requirements: sRGB, with a color temperature of 6500K, and a gamma of 2.2.
DISCONNECTING THE CAMERA FROM THE COMPUTER
Never disconnect the camera when the access lamp is lit - the data or memory card may permanently be damaged.
WINDOWS 98 / 98 SECOND EDITION

BOUNCE FLASH
Direct flash illumination can cause harsh shadows on the subject and background. Bounce flash reflects the light from the ceiling to create soft diffuse illumination.

ADVANCED OPERATION

The section describes advanced flash photography techniques and accessories.
Bounce flash Normal flash

Page 24

Tilt the flash towards the ceiling.
The flash has a click stop at 60. The bounce head can be set in any position between 0 and 90.
Adjusting the Bounce Angle
The angle of the bounce head is important. If the bounce angle is too low, the subject will be illuminated by both directly with the flash and indirectly with the reflected light from the ceiling resulting in a harsh and unevenly lit photograph. Determine the bounce angle in reference to the distance to the reflective surface, the distance from the camera to the subject, and the angle of view of the lens.
With bounce flash, using ADI metering can result in incorrect exposure. Set the flash metering-mode switch to TTL. Use a white ceiling or wall to reflect the flash. The color of a surface will affect the color of the flash illumination. High ceilings or highly reflective surfaces such as glass are not suitable for bounce flash.

CAUTIONS WHILE HANDLING

During Photography

This flash unit has an intense light output and should not be fired directly in front of anyone's eyes. To prevent condensation from forming, place the flash in a sealed plastic bag when bringing it from a cold environment to a warm one. Allow it to come to room temperature before removing it from the bag. Battery capacity decreases at colder temperatures. Keep your flash and spare batteries in a warm inside pocket when shooting in cold weather. Batteries will regain some of their capacity when warmed to normal operating temperatures. This flash unit is not waterproof. Care should be taken not to expose the unit to water. Care should be taken when used on a beach or near water. Exposure to water, sand, dust, or salt may damage the product.

Batteries

Do not store the flash unit with the alkaline batteries inside. Leakage from the batteries may damage the battery chamber. When using alkaline batteries, temperature and storage conditions can affect performance and may require more than 30 seconds for the flash to charge. Battery performance can be restored by using the flash a few times or turning the flash unit on and off several times. Replace the battery if performance does not improve. If lithium batteries become hot due to high temperatures or repeated use, an internal safety circuit shuts them down. Wait until the batteries cool before using the flash again. Nickel-metal hydride batteries can lose power suddenly. If battery performance drops while using the batteries, recharge them. Depending on the time elapsed since the battery was manufactured, the flash performance for new batteries may differ from the values shown in the technical specification section.

Maintenance

Clean by wiping with a soft, clean cloth. If the flash has been in contact with sand, wiping will cause surface damage. Gently remove sand particles using a blower before wiping. Do not use organic solvents (paint thinners or benzene) to clean the product.
