Selecting the Automatic Focus Mode

Mode Lock ON/OFF

This function allows you to set the auto focus format to either
[CONTINUOUS] (the automatic focus mechanism operates
continuously when the camera is turned on), or [SINGLE] (the auto
focus mechanism operates only when the shutter release button is
depressed halfway). The relationship between the two modes, power
consumption, and the lag time between shutter press and actual image
recording is as noted below. Select the mode most appropriate to your
needs and style of photography.

[CONTINUOUS]:
So long as the camera is in recording mode, the auto focus mechanism
operates continuously to focus the lens. Since the focus motor is
operating continuously, less time is needed to begin image recording
when the shutter release button is pressed, but power consumption is
greater.

[SINGLE] (default):
The focus motor only begins operating when the shutter release button
is depressed halfway. As a result, somewhat longer time is required to
begin image recording after the shutter release button is depressed, but
less battery power is consumed.

<Operation>

1 Press the “fi” button to select

[AUTO FOCUS].

2 Press the “#” button.

3 Use the “fi” button to select

either [CONTINUOUS] or
[SINGLE].

4 Press the “@” button (or “ ”

button) to complete the setting.

When enabled, this function preserves the camera mode functions set
when the camera power is turned OFF. As a result, the same mode
settings are restored when the power is next turned ON. When this
function is disabled, any mode functions previously set will be returned
to their default values when the power is turned OFF and then turned
ON again.

¶ To display photos on a television set, use a set equipped with video input

connectors.

¶ Turn off the camera’s power in prohibited locations such as airplanes or

hospitals. Use of the camera in such locations may cause surrounding
electronic devices to malfunction.

<Handling Precautions for the Optional AC Adapter>

¶ Prolonged use may cause the AC adapter to feel warm; this is normal and not

a malfunction.

¶ When not using AC power for an extended period, disconnect the AC adapter

from its power outlet as a safety precaution. Before disconnecting the AC
adapter from power outlet, first disconnect the connector plug from the
camera body.

¶ When using the AC adapter with battery pack installed in the camera, turn the

camera power off before connecting or disconnecting the AC adapter.

¶ This AC adapter has been designed for exclusive use with the accompanying

camera. To prevent danger of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to use it
with any appliance other than the one for which it was designed.

¶ Use only the designated AC adapter with this camera. The use of

other adapters may cause accidents or fire hazard.

¶ Do not subject the cord to unreasonable twisting, bending, or

CAUTION

stretching, and never attempt to patch the cord to extend its
length.

¶ Do not connect or disconnect the AC adapter with wet hands,

since you may receive an electric shock.

8180

CAUTION

¶ Grasp the body of the adapter when connecting and

disconnecting it from a power outlet, and similarly grasp the
connector plug when connecting and disconnecting it from the
camera body. Pulling on the cords may cause internal breakage
of the wires, resulting in fire or electric shock.

¶ If you observe any damage to the AC adapter, broken wires, or

faulty connector contacts, discontinue use and consult your
place of purchase or Konica Service Center as soon as possible.

recordable.

The memory card has
insufficient free memory
available.

Insert a new memory card,
or erase unneeded images
on the current card.

¶ Never use the AC adapter when it is incompletely connected to a

power outlet. Faulty contacts may cause abnormal heating, fire,
or electrical shock.

¶ Do not tamper with the cord or subject it to excessive force, since

the cord may be damaged, resulting in fire or electrical shock. If the
cord is so damaged as to expose the wire core, discontinue use
immediately and consult your place of purchase or Konica Service
Center .

¶ Due to the danger of electric shock, do not attempt to open the

AC adapter’s cover, or to disassemble, repair, or modify the
adapter.

¶ Do not use the adapter when the plug is covered with dust, or do

WARNING

not bring pieces of metal near it, since current may travel
through the dust and metal and cause a fire or electric shock. If
dust collects on the adapter plug, disconnect it from the
electrical outlet and clean away the dust before using.

¶ If the adapter emits smoke or abnormal odors, or if you drop or

damage the adapter, discontinue use and consult your place of
purchase or Konica Service Center, since continued use may
result in fire hazard.

¶ Do not connect the AC adapter to any source of power other

than a household AC outlet for which it is rated. Using the
adapter with other voltages or ratings may cause the hazard of
fire or electrical shock.
