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.

About the SD Memory Card/Multi-Media Card

SD Memory Cards and Multi-Media Cards are manufactured using precision electronic com-

ponents. 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

Important

● When using Multi-Media Cards, the operation response time may be longer during shoot-

ing 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 be-

ing 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 sound-

ing. (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 cam-

era. 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.

Selecting the Image to Print (DPOF)

Images cannot be printed by the camera itself.

This menu indicates the images to output and their quantity when ordering prints using digital

camera print service at a camera shop or photo shop (*1) or when automatically outputting

images within a card to a DPOF (*2) compatible digital printer. There are 2 types of specifica-

tions: single frame specification and all frame specification.

A DPOF file is automatically created on the card and the order data is recorded within this file.

(*1) Ask for the Konica digital camera print service when ordering.

(*2) DPOF: abbreviation for Digital Print Order Format

When printing images using the DPOF function on your own printer, first check

with the printer manufacturer to make sure that your printer is DPOF compatible.
