Memory cards

SD Memory Cards and MultiMediaCards are manufactured with precision electronic components. The following may cause data loss or damage:

•Improper use of the card.

•Bending, dropping, or subjecting the card to impact.

•Heat, moisture, and direct sunlight.

•Static electrical discharge or electromagnetic fields near the card.

•Removing the card or interrupting the power supply while the camera or a computer is accessing the card (reading, writing, formatting, etc.).

•Touching the electrical contacts of the card with your fingers or metal objects.

•Using the card beyond its life. Purchasing a new card periodically may be necessary.

The response time during recording and playback is longer with MultiMediaCards compared with SD Memory Cards. This is not a defect, but rather due to the specifications of the cards. When using large capacity cards, some operations like deletion may take longer.

The SD Memory Card has a write-protect switch to prevent image data

 

 

 

 

 

from being deleted. By sliding the switch to the bottom of the card, the

 

 

 

 

 

data is protected. However, when the card is protected, images cannot

Before important events and journeys

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

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

Operating temperatures and conditions

•This camera has been designed for use in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).

•Never leave the camera exposed to extreme high temperatures, such as in a car parked in the sun, or to extreme humidity.

•When taking the camera from a cold to a warm environment, place it in a sealed plastic bag to prevent condensation from forming. Allow the camera to come to room temperature before removing it from the bag.

LCD monitor care

•The LCD monitor is manufactured using high-precision technology and more than 99.99% of the pixels operate properly. Less than 0.01% of the monitor pixels are displayed as color or bright points; this is not a monitor defect and does not affect the recorded image.

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

•In cold temperatures, the LCD monitor may become temporarily dark. When the camera warms up, the display will function normally.

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