Fluid leakage, heat, fire and damage may occur as a result.
Caution
Do not point the lens directly at the sun or at a strong light source.
Malfunction of internal parts may occur from concentrated rays of light. Using
the camera in such conditions may cause short circuits and breakdown of insu-
lation, resulting in overheating and/or fire.
Take care not to get fingers caught in the battery/card cover.
Personal injury may occur as a result.
When using the camera inside an airplane, follow the directions of the air­line company.

A location exposed to direct sunlight or inside a car, etc. where the tem-
perature may become extremely high.
Fire and/or damage to the unit may occur.
Within the reach of children.
The strap may wrap around the neck causing strangulation, or accessories
such as batteries, SD Memory Card, etc. may be swallowed.
Unstable surfaces such as on an unstable table or an angled surface.
Camera dropping on the head or other body parts may not only cause per-
sonal injury but malfunction of the unit as well.
A location exposed to lampblack, steam, high humidity, dust or vibration.
If dust or liquid enters the camera or if the internal parts are damaged by
strong vibration, overheating, fire or electrical shock may occur as a result.
7
Important Safety Precautions
Caution
Do not use force when operating the camera.
The camera may become damaged, causing personal injury as a result.
Do not use the flash near eyes.
Eye injury may occur as a result.
Check that the polarity is correct when inserting batteries.
The battery may heat, damage or leak if the polarity is not correct, possibly causing skin burns and/or personal injury as a result.
Do not use batteries which have become soiled with oil or sweat.
If soiled, wipe the contacts with a dry cloth before use.
When cleaning or carrying out non-photographic operations on the cam­era, disconnect the AC adapter for safety.

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
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 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.

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

• Do not use the AC adapter with voltages other than the displayed power-supply voltage
(100V AC – 240V AC).
• For countries with a different power plug shape, check with a travel agency, etc., and
prepare a conversion adapter suitable for the power plug of the destination country in
advance.
Caring and storage
Cleaning the camera
When cleaning the camera, do not use solvents such as benzene or paint thinner.
• Before cleaning, remove the batteries from the camera, or disconnect the power plug of
the AC adapter from the wall outlet.
• The exterior casing surface consists of paint and printing. Wiping the casing with benzene
or paint thinner may cause discoloration, or the paint or printing to be removed.
• When the camera becomes dirty, wipe off the dust with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt,
dampen a cloth in diluted neutral detergent (kitchen detergent), wring thoroughly and wipe.
When finished, wipe the camera with a dry cloth.
• When using a chemical cloth, follow the safety precautions of the product.

After using the camera
If the camera is not to be used for a long period, remove the batteries and ensure that the
power plug of the AC adapter is disconnected from the wall outlet.
Leaving the batteries inside the camera for a long time may cause the battery fluid to leak,

constant temperature as much as possible.
Recommended temperature: 15ºC – 25ºC
Recommended humidity: 40% – 60%

Do not store the card in places with high humidity, dusty places or where static electricity
or electromagnetic fields are likely to occur.
Keep dust, water and foreign objects away from the terminal section.
About image data
Use a PC to delete images and files recorded with other models.
The recorded data may be lost when you or a third part misuses the SD Memory Card/
Multi-Media Card, if the card is affected by strong static electricity or electrical shock, or
during card repair or malfunction.

About the LCD monitor
The LCD monitor has been developed using high-precision engineering. Although the per-
centage of active pixels is more than 99.98%, there may be missing or constantly lit pixels.
When using the LCD monitor in a cold location, the screen may appear darker than normal
immediately after starting use. The screen will return to normal brightness as the internal
temperature of the camera rises.
When the LCD monitor becomes dirty with finger prints or dust, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
