New Konica Minolta 5.0-Megapixel Digital Camera: The DiMAGE Z5
Product Highlights 12x optical Mega Zoom and 4x digital zoom for 48x total zoom; complemented with CCDshift Anti-Shake System Fastest-in-class*1 Rapid AF with Predictive Focus Control High-quality pictures with 5.0-megapixel CCD, Konica Minolta GT APO lens, and Konica Minolta CxProcess III image processing technology High-resolution, shake-free VGA movies that look as good as TV images Ease of operation with large 2.0-inch LCD, compact body, and fast response Super Macro mode for shooting subjects as close as 0.4 inches from the lens 26mm wide-angle shooting (35mm equivalent) with the optional Wide-angle Converter ZCW300
Features Incredible 48x Total Zoom Range Combining the 12x optical zoom with the 4x digital zoom gives users a 48x total zoom, ideal for taking distance shots at sporting events or when capturing far-away landscapes. This incredible optical zoom delivers a focal range equivalent to a 35-420mm range on a 35mm camera lens. With the digital zoom, total zoom is equivalent to 35-1680mm (35mm equivalent). CCD-Shift Anti-Shake Function The DiMAGE Z5 uses Konica-Minoltas proprietary CCD-shift Anti-Shake function, convenient for telephoto shots and dimly lit situations. Anti-Shake compensates to minimize the effect of camera shake, allowing photographers to shoot with shutter speeds four to eight times longer (2-3 stops) than on cameras without an Anti-Shake function. The DiMAGE Z5 can correct shaking without increasing shutter speed or raising ISO sensitivity, factors that increase image noise. The CCD-shift method doesnt require extra correction lenses like optical anti-shake systems, so the DiMAGE Z5s body remains compact and light. The DiMAGE Z5s Anti-Shake system is effective in correcting both the fine movement of pressing the shutter-release button and the larger and slower movements of the users body. Rapid AF is Fastest in Class*1 for Autofocus (AF) The DiMAGE Z5 focuses in approximately 0.2 seconds at wide angle and approximately 0.3 seconds at telephoto. In Continuous AF, the DiMAGE Z5 includes Predictive Focus Control, which allows users to capture sharper images of moving subjectslike a child running in the backyard. The DiMAGE Z5 also offers improved AF accuracy through 5-point Area AF, which gives five focus areas that overlap horizontally and thus reduce AF failures that occur when subjects appear in between focus areas and cause a perspective conflict. Large, Easy-to-View 2.0-inch LCD The DiMAGE Z5s 2.0-inch LCD makes it easier to take pictures, easier to play back and view stills and movie clips, and easier to navigate menus.
Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z5 Backgrounder (contd)
5.0-Megapixel CCD for Beautiful Prints The 5.0-megapixel, 1/2.5-inch CCD produces plenty of detail for creating high-quality enlargements as big as 6x8 inches at 300-dpi print resolution. In addition, the CCD's primary color filter offers high color fidelity. Konica Minolta GT APO Lens The DiMAGE Z5 employs a high-performance lens system that supports CCDs with 5 million effective pixels. The optical lens system consists of 13 elements in 10 groups and includes two AD (anomalous dispersion) glass lenses and two aspheric elements, a construction that adds up to sharp, high-quality images. Multi-coating on 14 lens surfaces ensures minimal flaring and ghosting in all zoom ranges. A 5-vane iris diaphragm beautifully reproduces a near-circular fading effect. Superbly Detailed Images with Konica Minoltas CxProcess III The DiMAGE Z5 incorporates CxProcess III, the latest evolution of Konica Minoltas proprietary image processing technology. This means even higher resolution and the ability to capture the subtlest details of texture, resulting in photos that look as natural as the subject itself. High-quality Movies as Beautiful as TV Images The DiMAGE Z5 takes movies in VGA size (640x480) at 30 frames per second for smooth video with sound rivaling TV images. Users can also choose from other movie image sizes. The AntiShake function also works with the movie function to give shake-free telephoto movies. The XR (Extended Recording) Movie function lets users record movie clips onto the SD memory card as long as it has the capacity. With Night Movie, the DiMAGE Z5 can record in extreme low-light conditions. The Select Shot function allows users to make stills from movie clips, while the Movie Editing function allows photographers to cut unwanted parts from movie files. Get as Close as 0.4 inches with Super Macro Shoot amazing close-ups in either Macro or Super Macro modes. Whichever mode is chosen, Konica Minoltas superior image quality will make close-ups look stunning and powerful. In Super Macro mode, photographers can bring the lens as close as 0.4 inches from their subject. Real Motion LCD Monitor The DiMAGE Z5 features the Real Motion LCD monitor, which delivers crystal clear images. The smooth, realistic movement displayed on the monitor makes it ideal for shooting moving subjects. UHS (Ultra High Speed) Continuous Shooting The DiMAGE Z5 captures 20 images at approximately 10 frames per second at an image size of 1024x768 in UHS (Ultra High Speed) continuous shooting. This function is convenient for situations where users need to capture and study their form in continuous movement, such as with a golf swing. Progressive Capture With the DiMAGE Z5 in Progressive Capture mode, the last several images in the sequenceas many as 20 images at approximately 10 frames per second at an image size of 1024x768 get saved when users stop pressing the shutter-release button. So when photographing fast-moving subjects, Progressive Capture ensures that they are recorded when and where users want them. These functions are handy for shooting sporting events or for recording and improving form in personal sports training situations.

Noise Reduction Noise Reduction gives exceptional night images by automatically preventing the blemishes and graininess associated with slow-shutter shots. PASM Exposure Control and Metering Modes The DiMAGE Z5 offers incredible control over exposure. There are four modes: Program, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and Manual. The DiMAGE Z5 has three metering modes: Multi-segment, Center-weighted, and Spot. Multi-segment metering uses 256 segments to determine exposure. Automatic Digital Subject Program Selection Automatic Digital Subject Program Selection automatically chooses the best recording mode for images. Users can also manually select from Portrait, Sports action, Landscape, Sunset and Night portrait modes. Key Customize For added flexibility and convenience, the flash button can be customized to handle different settings. This means that instead of going through the menus on the LCD, users can use the flash button to change settings like the drive mode, white balance, focus mode, color mode, or sensitivity. PictBridge*3-Compliant Forget all about complicated connections with a PC. Users can get fast, fun printouts directly from their camera by connecting the DiMAGE Z5 to a PictBridge*3-compliant printer. Photographers can check which images they want to print on the DiMAGE Z5s LCD monitor and then print out their favorites. Ergonomic Design The DiMAGE Z5s design is advanced yet familiar and easy-to-use. Despite its long 12x zoom range and large 2.0-inch LCD, it weighs just approximately 12 ounces. Its also easy to tote and operate even for camera novices. The ergonomic form makes it easy to keep on holding even for those steady zoom shots. Optional Wide ConverterWide-angle Converter ZCW-300 Kit The optional Wide-angle Converter Kit allows users to fit more of the scene into each shot. The lens has a 26mm wide angle thats ideal for capturing indoor or outdoor architecture and panoramic landscape shots. Compatible with Optional Flashes The DiMAGE Z5 is equipped with a built-in flash. But if users need even more flash power, the Konica Minolta Program/Maxxum Flash 3600HS(D), 5600HS(D), or 2500(D) flash units can be used.

Camera notes

After initially inserting a charged battery, do not remove it from the camera for twenty-four hours; the camera can be off during this period. The lithium-ion battery is used to charge an internal battery, which protects settings when the camera is turned off.
BATTERY CONDITION INDICATOR
This camera is equipped with an automatic battery-condition indicator. When the camera is on, the battery-condition indicator appears on the monitor. If the monitor is blank, the batteries may be exhausted or installed incorrectly. Full-battery indicator - the battery is fully charged. This indicator is displayed for three seconds on the monitor when the camera is turned on. Low-battery indicator - battery power is low. The battery should be replaced as soon as possible. Low-battery warning - battery power is very low. The monitor indicator is red. The battery should be replaced as soon as possible. This warning automatically appears and remains on the monitor until the battery is changed. If power falls below this level, the battery-exhausted message will be displayed just before the camera shuts down. If the low-battery warning is displayed, UHS continuous advance, Progressive Capture drive mode, movie recording, and Anti-Shake system cannot be used.

AUTO POWER SAVE

To conserve battery power, the camera turns off displays and unnecessary functions if an operation is not made within a minute. To restore power, press the shutter-release button partway down, or press the main switch or controller. The length of the auto-power-save period can be changed in section 1 of the setup menu (p. 90). If an operation is not made within approximately 30 minutes, the camera turns off automatically. Press the main switch to turn on the camera.
CONNECTING THE OPTIONAL AC ADAPTER

SHUTTER PRIORITY (S) EXPOSURE MODE
The photographer selects the shutter speed and the camera sets the appropriate aperture to ensure correct exposure. When shutter priority is selected, the shutter speed on the monitor turns blue and a double arrow indicator appears next to it. The shutter speed can be set between 1/1000 and 4 seconds. If the shutter speed is beyond the aperture range, the aperture display will turn red. The flash mode can be set to fill-flash, fillflash with red-eye reduction, or slow sync. with red-eye reduction (p. 26).
Use the up/down keys of the controller (1) to set the shutter speed. Press the shutter-release button partway down to activate the exposure system; the corresponding aperture will be displayed on the monitor.
The camera-shake warning (p. 27) does not appear in S mode. If a slow shutter speed is selected, noise-reduction processing is applied to the image; a message may appear during processing. See page 39 for more on noise reduction.

Shooting Tips

The shutter speed and aperture control more than the exposure. The shutter speed determines how sharp a moving subject is. The aperture controls the depth of field; the area in front of the camera that appears sharp. For more on exposure controls, see the Short Guide to Photography on page 70.

MANUAL (M) EXPOSURE MODE

Manual exposure mode allows individual selection of shutter speeds and apertures. This mode overrides the exposure system giving the photographer total control over the final exposure.
Use the up/down keys of the controller to change the shutter speed.
Use the left/right keys of the controller to change the aperture. The changes made to the exposure will be visible in the live image on the monitor. The monitor shutter-speed and aperture display will turn red when the shutter-release button is pressed partway down if the image is significantly underexposed or overexposed. If the monitor is black, increase the exposure until the image is visible; decrease the exposure if the monitor is white. In manual exposure mode, the auto camera-sensitivity setting will fix the ISO value at 100. The camera sensitivity can be changed in section 3 of the recording menu (p. 64). The flash mode can be set to fill-flash, fill-flash with red-eye reduction, or slow sync. with red-eye reduction (p. 26), but the live image will not reflect the flash exposure. The camera-shake warning (p. 27) does not appear in M mode. IIf a slow shutter speed is selected, noise-reduction processing is applied to the image; a message may appear during processing. See page 39 for more on noise reduction.

USING THE PROGRESSIVE-CAPTURE MODE
The Progressive-Capture drive mode continuously records images while holding down the shutter-release button. When the shutter button is released, the images stored in the cameras buffer memory are saved. This drive mode is set in section 1 of the recording menus.
Compose the picture as described in the basic recording operation section (p. 22). Press the shutter-release button partway down (1) to lock the focus and exposure for the series. Press and hold the shutter-release button all the way down (2) to begin taking pictures; focus and exposure are locked with the first frame. When the shutter-release button is pressed and held, the camera will begin recording. Release the shutter (3) to save the images in the camera memory: the last twenty images are saved. The rate of capture is 10fps regardless of the image-quality setting. Image size is fixed at 1024x768.
The advantage of Progressive Capture over the continuous-advance drive mode is that it allows you to record events without the need to predict when the event will start. Simply hold the shutter-release button down to start saving images, and when the action happens, release the shutter button to save the recorded series. The flash cannot be used. When the red low-battery warning is displayed, these drive modes cannot be used.
When a series is captured, a thumbnail of each image is shown in an index display while being saved. Progressive capture can only be used when there is enough space available on the memory card to record an entire series of images. The frame counter must show 21 frames or more to use progressive capture. The flash and the digital zoom cannot be used. Shutter speeds must be 1/25 second or faster. A high camera sensitivity (ISO) is used allowing faster shutter speed to be set; sensitivity cannot be set manually. Very bright light sources in the scene may cause streaks to appear on the image. Black areas caused by data loss may also be apparent.

BRACKETING

This mode makes a three-image bracket of a scene. Bracketing is a method of taking a series of images of a static subject in which each image has a slight variation in exposure. The bracketing mode is set in section 1 of the recording menus. Immediately after selecting the bracketing option on the menu, a selection screen is displayed to select the bracketing increment. Press the left/right keys of the controller to select the bracketing increment. Press the central button of the controller to set the value. To change the increment, select the bracketing drive mode again with the menu.

FOCUS MODES

This camera has autofocus and manual focus control. The focus mode is selected separately in the Digital Subject Program, movie, and P, A, S, and M exposure-mode menus. When using Digital Subject Programs, the focus mode is reset when the camera is turned off.

Autofocus

With the P, A, S, or M exposure modes or movie recording, the autofocus mode can be specified between single-shot AF and continuous AF in section 2 of the menu (p. 44). Single-shot AF, indicated by S on the monitor, allows the focus to be locked before recording the image, see the basic recording section. Continuous AF, indicated by C, continually focuses the camera. When capturing still images, the camera continues to focus when the shutter-release button is held partway down. In movie recording, focus is locked when the shutter-release button is partway down, but it is continually adjusted during recording.
Continuous AF Single-shot AF

Manual Focus

When focusing manually, a scale shows the approximate subject distance. The scale changes depending on the focusing range. Use the up/down controller keys to focus; the monitor image is automatically magnified by a maximum of 2.5X depending on the digital zoom setting; the magnifier indicator is displayed. The live image returns to normal after two seconds, when zooming, or when the shutterrelease button is pressed partway down. Manual-focus indicator When using the shutter-priority, aperturepriority, or manual exposure modes (p. 36 - 38) with manual focus, press the central button of the controller to switch between using the up/down keys to focus or to adjust the exposure. The active function is indicated in blue. Magnifier indicator Manual-focus scale

WHITE BALANCE

White balance is the cameras ability to make different types of lighting appear neutral. The effect is similar to selecting daylight or tungsten film, or using color compensating filters in conventional photography. An indicator will be displayed on the monitor if a setting other than auto white-balance is chosen. White balance is set independently in section 1 of the movie, and P, A, S, and M exposure-mode menus (p. 44).

Automatic White Balance

The automatic white balance compensates for the color temperature of a scene. In most cases, the auto setting will balance the ambient light and create beautiful images, even under mixed-lighting conditions. When the built-in flash is used, the white balance is set for the color temperature of the flash.

Preset White Balance

Preset white-balance settings must be set before the image is taken. Once set, the effect is immediately visible on the LCD monitor. Immediately after selecting the preset whitebalance option on the menu, a selection screen is displayed. Press the left/right keys of the controller to select the preset white balance. Press the central button of the controller to apply it. The following preset options are available: Daylight - for outdoor and sunlit subjects. Cloudy - for overcast outdoor scenes. Tungsten - for incandescent lighting: household light bulbs. 60 ADVANCED
Drive mode Image size Quality White balance Anti-shake
Cust.set CustRecall Auto Preset
Fluorescent - for fluorescent lighting: office ceiling lights. Flash - for use with the built-in flash.

Custom White Balance

Custom white-balance allows the camera to be calibrated to a specific lighting condition. The setting can be used repeatedly until reset. Custom white balance is especially useful with mixed-lighting or when critical control over color is needed. The object used to make a calibration must be neutral. A blank piece of white paper is an ideal surface and can easily be carried in a camera bag. To calibrate the camera, select custom setup (Cust.set) from the white balance option in section 1 of the movie, and P, A, S, and M exposure-mode menus (p. 44); the custom white-balance calibration screen opens. Fill the image area with a white object; the object does not need to be in focus. Press the central button of the controller to make the calibration or press the menu button to cancel the routine. The live view shows the effect of the new white balance setting. The custom setting will remain in effect until another calibration is made or the whitebalance setting is changed. If the custom white-balance setting is required again, select custom recall from the white-balance option of the menu; the last custom white-balance setting will be applied to the camera. The same custom white-balance setting is made and accessed from the movie, P, A, S, and M exposure modes.

FULL-TIME AF

With full-time AF active, the autofocus systems continually focuses to keep the monitor image sharp. This also reduces the autofocusing time when taking pictures. When the camera is set to manual focus, full-time AF is disabled. Turning the full-time AF function off can help conserve battery power. Full-time AF can be turned on and off in section 2 of the P, A, S, and M menus (p. 44). Full-time AF is active regardless of the menu setting when using macro in auto-recording or with a Digital Subject Program as well as when using the sports action digital subject program. When the red low-battery warning is displayed, full-time AF is disabled.

FLASH MODE

The flash modes can be changed in section 2 of the P, A, S, and M menus (p. 44). This menu option is used when another function is assigned to the flash mode button, see page 67 on the custom key function. For more on flash modes, refer to page 26.

FLASH COMPENSATION

Flash compensation increases or decreases the flash exposure of the built-in flash in reference to the ambient exposure by as much as 2 Ev. Select the flash compensation option section 2 of the P, A, S, and M menus (p. 44). Use the up/down keys to adjust the degree of compensation. Press the central controller button to set this value. If any value other than 0.0 is set, an indicator will be displayed on the monitor as a warning.

Positive compensation

No compensation

Negative compensation

No flash

Flash compensation changes the ratio between the ambient and flash exposures. When using fill-flash to reduce harsh shadows caused by direct sunlight, flash compensation changes the ratio between the highlights and shadows. The flash affects the darkness of the shadows without affecting the area illuminated by the sun. By decreasing the flash output with a negative Ev setting, the shadows receive less light and are deeper, but retain detail that would be lost without the flash. Using a positive Ev setting will soften or eliminate shadows.

METERING MODES

Metering mode indicators are displayed on the monitor. The metering mode is set in section 2 of the P, A, S, and M menus (p. 44). Multi-segment metering: uses 256 segments to measure luminance and color. This data is combined with distance information to calculate the camera exposure. This advanced metering system will give accurate worry-free exposures in almost all situations. Center weighted: a traditional metering method in film cameras. The system measures light values over the entire image area with emphasis given the central region. Spot metering: uses a small area within the image to calculate the exposure. A small circle appears in the middle of the live image indicating the measuring area. The spot allows precise exposure measurements of a particular object without being influenced by extremely bright or dark areas within the scene. 63

Quality of the captured image is equivalent to economy, but it is not recorded nor displayed.

With the date folder format selected, when an image is recorded, a new folder with the days date is created. All images recorded that day are placed in that folder. Images recorded on a different day are placed in a new folder with the corresponding date. If the file number memory function is off (p. 94), when a new folder is created, the serial number in the image-file name is reset to 0001. If file number memory function is on, the serial number in the image-file is one greater than the last image saved. For more information on folder organization and file names, see page 108.

DATE AND TIME SETUP

It is important to accurately set the clock. When a still image or a movie clip is recorded, the date and time of the recording are saved with the image and are displayed during playback or can be read with the supplied DiMAGE Viewer software. The date format that is displayed or imprinted can be changed: YYYY/MM/DD (year, month, day), MM/DD/YYYY (month, day, year), DD/MM/YYYY (day, month, year). See page 18 for instructions on how to set the clock and calendar.

DATE IMPRINTING

The date of recording can be printed directly on the image. The imprinting function must be activated in section 2 of the setup menu (p. 90) before the image is taken. Once activated, the date will continue to be imprinted until the function is reset; a yellow bar is displayed behind the frame counter to indicate the imprinting function is active.
Date-imprinting indicator The date is imprinted in the lower right corner of the image when viewed horizontally. It is printed directly on the photograph writing over the image information. The date can be imprinted in three formats: year / month / day, month / day / year, and day / month / year. The date and date format are set in section 2 of the setup menu (p. 90).

VOLUME

The volume of the audio signals and shutter FX can be increased or decreased in section 3 of the setup menu (p. 90). The volume can be turned off. This affects the cameras audio signals only and will not change the playback levels of a movie clip.

VIDEO OUTPUT

Camera images can be displayed on a television (p. 88). The video output can be changed between NTSC and PAL in section 4 of the setup menu. North America uses the NTSC standard and Europe uses the PAL standard. Check which standard is used in your region to play back images on your television set.
Video output Transfer mode Self-timer Anti-shake NTSC Data storage 10 sec. Disp. + Exp.

TRANSFER MODE

The data-transfer mode must be specified depending on whether images are transferred to a computer or printed directly. The data-storage option must be selected to transfer data from the camera to a computer or when using the DiMAGE Viewer software. The PictBridge option allows images to be printed directly from the camera with a PictBridge compatible printer (p. 114).

DIGITAL ZOOM

The digital zoom extends the power of the telephoto position of the optical zoom by up to 4X in 0.2X increments. It is activated in section 4 of the setup menu (p. 90). The transition between the optical zoom and digital zoom is seamless. When the digital zoom is active, the image magnification is displayed on the monitor and the focus frames change to a single focus area. Because of the degree of magnification, the use of a tripod is recommended.

100 SETUP MENU

Zoom scale Magnification
The digital zoom is operated by the zoom lever (1). Slide the lever right (T) to zoom in to the telephoto position of the lens. When the digital zoom activates, the image magnification will be displayed on the monitor. Turn the lever left (W) to zoom out. After zooming, the zoom scale is displayed briefly. The yellow section indicates the digital-zoom range. Digital-zoom images are interpolated to the set image size. Some loss of quality may be evident.
Self-timer delay period can be selected between 10 seconds and 2 seconds in section 4 of the setup menu (p. 90). A two-second self-timer is recommended to reduce camera shake when using a tripod. Unlike the 10 seconds self-timer, the two-second self-timer is not canceled after taking a picture.
