About the LCD monitor

Due to the characteristics of liquid crystals, the brightness of the LCD monitor may appear uneven with changes in temperature, etc.

The LCD monitor has been developed using high-precision engineering and is superior in sharpness and picture quality. Due to the nature of liquid crystals, however, there may be missing or constantly lit pixels on the monitor. This is not a malfunction of the unit.

If the LCD monitor becomes damaged for some reason, take care to prevent personal injury from broken glass, etc. Furthermore, take care that liquid crystals do not touch the skin or enter the eyes or mouth.

As well as the SD Memory Card included with this camera, Multi-Media Cards may also be used.

Caution

SD Memory Cards and Multi-Media Cards are manufactured using precision electronic components. Do not perform the following as malfunction or damage may occur as a result.

Do not touch the terminal with hands or metal objects. Damage to the components may occur as a result of static electricity. Before handling an SD Memory Card or Multi-Media Card, discharge any static build-up from your body by touching grounded metal, etc.

Do not bend, drop or apply excessive force.

Avoid heat, liquid and direct sunlight when using and for storage.

Do not open the battery/card cover or remove the SD Memory Card/Multi-Media Card while data is being read or written.

Do not dismantle or modify.

9

write-protect switch

Important

● When using Multi-Media Cards, the operation response time may be longer during shooting and playback when compared with the SD Memory Cards. However, this is due to the specification of the Multi-Media Card and is not a malfunction.

● The SD Memory Card includes a write-protect switch. Sliding this switch downward prevents data from being written to the card and images, etc. saved on the card are protected.

Please note that pictures cannot be taken or deleted when the write-protect switch is on.

If such an operation is attempted, you will be notified by an LED lighting in the viewfinder and a buzzer sounding. (See page 22.)

When using a large-capacity card, card check and deletion may take some time.

Always back-up important data.

When using SD Memory Cards/Multi-Media Cards on a PC, do not change the attributes (read-only, etc.) of the files (image data) on the card. Doing so may prevent the camera from working properly when deleting images, etc.

Do not change the file names or the directory name of image data saved on an SD Memory Card/Multi-Media Card using a PC or save files other than image data taken by this camera. Images that have been changed or added will not only play back on the camera but may cause the camera to malfunction as well.

Always format SD Memory Cards/Multi-Media Cards using this camera. A card formatted in a PC may not operate properly.

Data loss may occur at times due to malfunction or damage. However, Konica will not be responsible in any way in the event of such data loss.

10

Before Using

Perform test shooting

Always take some test shots before taking important pictures such as weddings, etc. to make sure that the camera is working properly.

Shot contents are not guaranteed

No compensation will be made for pictures that are unsuccessful due to problems with the camera or SD Memory Card/Multi-Media Card.

Be aware of copyright

Images that you shoot are for personal use only. Using pictures without the permission of the rightful owner is prohibited by copyright law. Furthermore, there may be places where shooting is restricted even for the purpose of personal enjoyment.
