One of the characteristics of LCD screens is that the display reaction time will slow when operated in low temperatures and may turn darken in high temperatures. Normal operation should resume when the temperature returns to normal levels.

Safe operating cautions

Usable memory cards
The following memory cards have been verified for compatibility. SanDisk CF Card: Ultra II/Extreme III SanDisk SD Card: Ultra II/Extreme III LEXAR MEDIA CF Card: X40 and over Matsushita Electrics SD Card: 5MB/s to 2GB Microdrive CF Card: 2GB, 4GB Any one of the memory cards with over 256MB can be used. Check with the specific memory card manufacturer for any questions regarding the operation or functionality of a memory card. Memory cards other than those stated above have not been verified for compatibility.
Safe operation of Memory cards
Memory cards are precision instruments. Do not drop or allow them to be exposed to strong vibrations. This can corrupt data that is stored in the memory card. Do not use or store around television sets, speakers, or magnets where there are high levels of static electricity. There is the possibility of recorded image data being erased from the memory card. Do not leave in areas where exposed to direct sunlight or near heating devices, etc. The memory card may become deformed. Do not spill any liquid onto the memory card. In order to protect important image data stored within the memory card, always store the memory card in its intended case. Do not store in hot, dusty, or areas of high humidity.
Cautions when throwing away/giving away memory cards Due to the Format and Delete function of this product and personal computers, file information can be altered but the data may not be completely deleted. Data can be recovered through restoration software. Important recorded data may remain and is subject to revelation after disposing of/giving away the card. In order to avoid these problems, we recommend that the memory card be physically destroyed or special data deletion software (available separately) be used to delete any remaining data completely before disposing of/giving away the memory card. The customer must assume the responsibility for data stored within the memory card.

Turning the camera off (L) while saving to the memory card
If the camera is turned off (shutter release mode is set to [L]) while the memory card access lamp is lit, data saving continues until completed. The remaining unsaved picture count appears on the digital LCD panel and top LCD panel. The camera turns off when saving is completed.

Color Space

Color space refers to the area where colors are reproduced. The color reproduction area varies depending on the type of digital camera, monitor, printer or other input/output device. To match the colors from input to output, it is necessary to adjust the colors reproduced by each device by correcting/managing the different color reproduction areas. Adobe RGB color space has a broader color reproduction area than sRGB and is mainly used for business purposes, such as commercial printing. When images taken in Adobe RGB mode are output on an sRGB device, they will appear slightly paler than output images taken in sRGB mode.
You can set the color space of JPEG images. The default setting is [sRGB]. RAW images can be specified when developing images using Mamiya Digital PhotoStudio.
Setting sRGB Description Sets the color space to sRGB. Suitable for general image use. Sets the color space to Adobe RGB. With a broader color reproduction area AdobeRGB than sRGB, it is suitable for uses such as commercial printing. However, the same gamut can only be reproduced on an image output device with the Adobe RGB color reproduction area.
When sRGB or AdobeRGB color space is selected in the this unit Setup menu, the ICC profile is not embedded in JPEG images captured with this unit. When editing JPEG images captured with this unit using applications other than Mamiya Digital PhotoStudio, be sure to use the same work space as the color space that was selected when the pictures were taken.
1. Select [1 Color Space (JPEG)] on the Setup menu and press the OK button.
2. Press [ ] [ ] on the toggle key to select the color space. 3. Press the OK button to set.

White Balance

The adaptability of the human eye enables us to see white as white regardless of the light source, such as daylight, cloudy skies, incandescent lighting or fluorescent lighting. To capture white as white in the same way as the human eye in images taken with a digital camera, the camera must be adjusted to suit the light conditions under which the subject is captured. Available white balance settings

2. Press the toggle keys to select the film speed. The display will return to the normal screen when any button other than the [ISO], [OK] or [Cancel] buttons are pressed. 3. Press the ISO button to set. You can also press any button other than the toggle key
Selecting a high ISO sensitivity will result in greater noise, such as color noise or graininess. Taking pictures with a high film speed under long exposure conditions will produce more noise, such as color noise. More noise may appear in images when a high film speed is used in a high temperature environment. Use of the noise reduction function is recommended when using a film speed higher than ISO200. (P.78)

RGB A method of expressing color. Colors are expressed by overlaying and combining the three colors, red (R), green (G), and blue (B). These three colors are called the three primary colors of light, and by overlaying and combining them, every color can be expressed. Like light, the image becomes brighter as more colors are overlaid and combined, (if red, green and blue are all combined at 100%, they become white), so this method is known as the additive color mixture method. TIFF An abbreviation for Tagged Image File Format. TIFF is an image data format developed by Aldus and Microsoft. It is able to organize and store the data of a single image into a single file with various different resolution, encoding systems and number of colors. During compression, non-quality loss systems (irreversible compression) such as LZW or pack bit can be selected. Thumbnail An image that has been compressed in order to display a number of such images together in a list format. Originally this comes from the words thumb and nail. In this software, thumbnails are displayed when the imported images are displayed in list format on the thumbnail screen. Threshold value The boundary limit where some photographic processes do not work. For example, the UnSharp Mask process defines the applicable criteria of whether or not an edge is added. Tone Curve When the shape of a curve is changed, the relationship between the input (original image color) and output (image color after adjustment) changes, and the brightness and contrast within a certain gradation range can be finely adjusted. Unsharp mask One of the sharpness processes, when unsharp mask is applied the color and brightness of outline parts is accentuated.
