Batteries

CARE AND STORAGE

•Battery performance decreases with temperature. In cold environments, we recommend keeping spare batteries in a warm place, such as the inside of a coat. Batteries can recover their power when they warm up. As the performance of Ni-MH

batteries are less affected by temperature, their use is recommended when shooting in cold environments.

•Remove the batteries when the camera is not in use for an extended period. Leaking battery fluid may damage the battery-chamber.

•Occasionally, when using alkaline batteries, the battery-condition indicator will give a false low-battery-power warning, even though there is enough power capacity. Continue to use the camera; the low-battery indicator will disappear.

•If batteries have been exhausted when used in the camera, do not reload them even if their charge seems to recover over time. These batteries will interfere with normal camera operation.

LCD MONITOR CARE

• Although the LCD monitor is manufactured using high precision technology, there

may occasionally be a lack of color or bright points on the LCD monitor.

• Do not apply pressure to the surface of the LCD monitor; it may be permanently

damaged.

• In a cold environment, the LCD monitor may become temporarily dark. When the

camera warms up, the display will function normally.

BEFORE IMPORTANT EVENTS OR JOURNEYS

•Check the camera’s operation; take test pictures and purchase spare batteries.

•Minolta has no responsibility for any damage or loss incurred by equipment malfunction.

QUESTIONS AND SERVICE

•If you have questions about your camera, contact your local camera dealer or write to the Minolta distributor in your area.

•Before shipping your camera for repair, please contact a Minolta Service Facility.

The following marks may be found on the product:

This mark on your camera certifies that this camera meets the requirements of the EU (European Union) concerning interference causing equipment regulations. CE stands for Conformité Européenne (European Conformity).

• The LCD monitor may be slow to react in low temperatures or may turn dark in a hot

environment. When the camera reaches normal operating temperature, the display

will function normally.

• If fingerprints are on the LCD monitor surface, gently wipe with a soft, clean, dry

cloth.
