BASIC RECORDING

SETTING THE CAMERA TO RECORD IMAGES AUTOMATICALLY
Turn the exposure dial to the auto or program (P) position. The camera controls are automatic. Auto acts like the program mode, except that many of the recording functions are reset each time it is selected, see page 41 for more information. Not all function are available in auto recording such as the color mode and Digital Effects Control. The default camera sensitivity (p. 54) is auto for auto recording and ISO 100 for program.

HANDLING THE CAMERA

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 low-light situations or when using telephoto lenses.

BASIC RECORDING DISPLAY

The viewfinder and monitor show the same indicators used in the basic recording operations. Aperture Shutter-speed Flash indicator Anti-shake scale Focus signal Flash signal
BASIC RECORDING OPERATION
Place the subject within the focus frame. The subject must be within the focus range of the lens. If using a zoom lens, change the focal length to frame the subject.
Press the shutter release button partway down to activate the autofocus and autoexposure systems (1). The viewfinder focus signal (A) confirms focus and the spot or local AF area (B) is illuminated briefly to indicate the point of focus. If the focus signal blinks, repeat the procedure. The shutter speed (C) and aperture (D) used for the exposure are displayed in the viewfinder and on the monitor. For information on shutter speeds and numbers, see pages 43 and 55.

Program shift

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 the control dial (1) to adjust the aperture in 1/3 Ev increments. The aperture range depends on the lens. The aperture is displayed 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. For information on -numbers, see page 55.

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 the control dial (1) to adjust the shutter speed between 30 and 1/4000 second in 1/3 Ev increments. The shutter speed is displayed 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.

Flash Sync. Speed

There is a limit to the maximum shutter speed when using the built-in flash. When Anti-Shake is on, the maximum shutter speed that can be used is 1/125s. With Anti-Shake off, the flash sync. speed is 1/160s. While a faster shutter speed cannot be used, there is no limit to the use of slower shutter speeds. Flash range is dependent on the aperture, see page 55. 42 ADVANCED
EXPOSURE CONTROL RANGE WARNINGS
Auto recording, Program, Digital Subject Programs
If the required exposure is beyond the shutter speed and aperture range, the shutter speed and aperture displays blink. In bright conditions, use a neutral density filter on the lens, set a lower camera sensitivity (ISO), or, if using artificial lights, reduce the intensity of the illumination. In dark conditions, use the built-in flash or increase the camera sensitivity (ISO).

Aperture priority

Some Konica Minolta lenses are equipped with focus-hold buttons. Section 1 in the custom menu allows the focus-hold button to be used for depth-of-field preview (p. 94).

AF / MF SWITCH

Slide the AM/MF switch to change between autofocus and manual focus. An indicator on the monitor shows the active focus mode.

Manual focus indicator

DRIVE MODES
The drive modes control the rate and method of image capture. Single-frame advance is the default drive mode and is described in the basic recording section on page 28. The drive mode is set with the drive-mode selection screen. Press the drive-mode button (1) to open the screen. Drive-mode indicator Single-frame and Continuous advance - to take single or multiple images at one time (p. 51). Self-timer - to delay the release of the shutter by 10 or 2 seconds (p. 51). Exposure bracketing - to take a series of 3 images with differing exposure (p. 52). White-balance bracketing - to make 3 images with differing white balance (p. 53) from a single exposure.

Single-frame adv.

Options
Use the up/down keys of the controller to select the drive-mode group.
Use the left/right keys of the controller to highlight the drive-mode option.
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.

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 indicator 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 shutterrelease 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).

Normal Under

Exposure bracket: 0.3 Ev

Flash bracket: 0.7 Ev

0.3 Ev bracket

0.7 Ev bracket

To make a flash bracket, raise the camera flash; the ambient exposure is not bracketed. Only single-frame advance flash brackets can be made regardless of the specified mode; press the shutter-release button for each exposure. The built-in flash recharges between exposures. Exposure brackets are made when the flash is down.
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.

WHITE BALANCE
White balance is the cameras ability to make different types of lighting appear natural. The active white-balance mode is displayed in the white-balance panel on the monitor.
Turn the white-balance dial to the appropriate position.
Auto white balance - white balance is set automatically. Preset white balance - to set the white balance to a specific light source. Custom white balance - to calibrate the camera to a specific lighting situation. Color temperature - to set the white balance to a specific color temperature. The last changes made are displayed on the monitor. Press the white-balance button in the center of the dial to change settings. See the following sections for more information. If the exposure-mode dial is turned to the auto recording or a digital subject program position, white balances is reset to auto.

AWB - AUTO WHITE BALANCE

Auto white balance automatically detects the type of light and adjust the white balance accordingly. When the built-in flash is used, the white balance is set for the color temperature of the flash. Simply set the white-balance dial to the AWB position.

PRESET WHITE BALANCE

With the white balance dial in the preset white balance position, press the white-balance button to open the setting screen.
Preset white balance Daylight
Use the left/right controller keys or control dial to select the white-balance setting. The up/down controller keys shift the whitebalance, see below. Press the central controller button to complete the operation.
The up/down controller keys adjust the white balance in seven levels: +3 to 3 (+4 to 2 for fluorescent). Except for fluorescent, the change of one unit is approximately equal to a 10 mired shift. Daylight - for outdoor sunlit subjects. Shade - for subjects illuminated by skylight: shady conditions on a clear day. Cloudy - for cloudy or overcast outdoor conditions. Tungsten - for incandescent lighting: household filament light bulbs. Fluorescent - for fluorescent lighting: office ceiling lights. Flash - for electronic flash. For more information on light sources, see page 69.

CUSTOM WHITE BALANCE

Custom-white-balance function allows the camera to be calibrated to a specific lighting condition. With the white balance dial in the custom position, press the whitebalance button to open the setting screen.

Custom white balance

Use spot metering area. Press shutter to calibrate.

A guidance message appears. If the shutter-release button is pressed partway down, the monitor display returns. The red custom set indicator is displayed in the white-balance panel. Turn the white-balance dial to another position to cancel the routine.
Fill the spot metering area with a white or neutral object; the object does not need to be in focus. Press the shutter-release button all the way down to calibrate the camera.
An image of the reference target is displayed. Press the central button of the controller to complete the operation.
A calibration error may occur under extremely bright light sources, especially with flash units. If an error occurs, a message appears on the monitor and the white-balance indicator is yellow. Repeat the procedure by recalibrating using a gray card as a reference target to reduce the intensity of the illumination.

COLOR TEMPERATURE

White balance can be set to a known color temperature of a light source or set to the color temperature determined by a color meter. With the white balance dial in the color temperature (K) position, press the whitebalance button to open the setting screen.

Color temperature

Use the left/right controller keys or control dial to select among thousand K, hundred K, and magenta/green compensation. Use the up/down controller keys to adjust the value.
Color temperature Magenta/Green compensation
Press the central controller button to complete the operation.
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 alone can be inaccurate with discontinuous-spectrum sources such as fluorescent. The magenta/green compensation scale allows adjustments to compensate for this problem. The increment on the scale is equivalent to approximately 5CC; M3 would be 15CC magenta. For information on light sources, see page 69.
A SHORT GUIDE TO PHOTOGRAPHY
Photography can be a rewarding pursuit. It is a broad and disciplined field that can take years to master. But the pleasure in making photographs and the joy of capturing a magical moment cannot be compared. The guide is an introduction to some basic photographic principles. 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. The image can be deleted if not acceptable

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. S: 1504 X 1000 L: 3008 x 2000 M: 2256 X 1496 RAW 8.8MB Extra fine 1.6MB 3.3MB 5.9MB Fine 850KB 1.7MB 3.0MB Standard 540KB 1.0MB 1.8MB Approximate number of images that can be stored on a 512MB memory card. 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.

INSTANT PLAYBACK
After an image is captured, it can be displayed on the monitors for two, five, or ten seconds before being saved. The last image of a continuous-advance or continousadvance bracketing series is displayed. Instant playback is activated and the length of the playback period is set with the instant-playback option in section 1 of the recording menu (p. 70).
During the instant playback period, many of the playback Display button functions are available. The displayed images can be deleted using the delete button (p. 36). An images can be magnified with the enlarge button (p. 38). The information display can be turned off and on with the display button, and the histogram can be displayed using the up key of the controller (p. 35). When using continuous advance or continuous-advance bracketing, use the left/right controller keys or turn the control dial to display the frames in the series; playback mode is active and all images on the memory card can be viewed and the playback menu Delete button opened. Enlarge button Press the shutter-release button partway down or press the playback button to return to the recording mode.

NOISE REDUCTION

This function reduces the affect of dark noise with exposures of one second or longer. Processing is applied to each image after it is captured. The monitor remains blank during processing for a maximum of 30 seconds. This can be turned off in section 1 of the recording menu (p. 70). Noise reduction uses dark-frame subtraction. Noise reduction is not applied to a continuous-advance series.

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.

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.

The following off-camera accessories are available: Off-camera cable Off-camera shoe Extension cable Cable CD Triple connector TC-1000

Page 28

OFF-CAMERA CABLES Flash-Ratio Control (varying the intensity of individual flash)
When using this flash with other accessory flash units*, a 2:1 flash ratio can be used. The flash ratio controls the relative power of two flash units. The 2:1 ratio indicates the output difference between the main light and fill light; the fill light controls the depth of the shadows. *5600HS (D), 5400HS, 5400xi, 5200i
The flash ratio cannot be set with this flash. The ratio must be set with the compatible accessory flash unit. See the flash manual for details. Ratio control cannot be used with the DiMAGE series digital cameras and Maxxum/Dynax 300si. The use of this function may result in incorrect exposures.

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.
