Thank you for purchasing this camera. Please take time to read this manual so that you can enjoy all the features of your new camera. This manual has been designed to help you understand the camera’s operation quickly. The information in this manual is relevant for products introduced before May, 2002. Contact the nearest authorized Minolta Service facility to obtain compatibility information for products released after this date.
This camera is designed to work specifically with lenses and accessories manufactured and distributed by Minolta. Using incompatible accessories with this camera may result in unsatisfactory performance or damage the camera and accessories.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
•Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
This mark on the bottom of your camera is there to inform you that this camera meets the requirements of the EU (European Union) concerning interference causing equipment regulations. CE stands for Conformité Européenne (European Conformity).
FOR PROPER AND SAFE USE

•Do not expose batteries to fire, high temperatures, water, or moisture.
•Do not attempt to short or disassemble batteries.
•Do not store batteries near or in metallic products.
•Do not mix batteries of different types, brands, or ages.
•Do not use leaking batteries. If fluid from the batteries enters your eye, immediately rinse the eye with plenty of fresh water and contact a doctor. If fluid from the batteries makes contact with your skin or clothing, wash the area thoroughly with water.
•Tape over lithium battery contacts to avoid short-circuiting during disposal; always follow local regulations for battery disposal.

FOR PROPER AND SAFE USE
WARNING
•Immediately remove the batteries and discontinue use if the camera is dropped or subjected to an impact in which the interior, especially the flash unit, is exposed. The flash has a high voltage circuit which may cause an electric shock resulting in injury. The continued use of a damaged product or part may cause injuries.
•Keep batteries or small parts that could be swallowed away from infants. Contact a doctor immediately if an object is swallowed.
•Store this product out of reach of children. Be careful when around children, not to harm them with the product or parts.
•Do not fire the flash directly into the eyes. It may damage eyesight.
•Do not fire the flash at vehicle operators. It may cause a distraction or temporary blindness which may lead to an accident.
•Do not look at the sun or strong light sources directly through the viewfinder or lens. It may damage your eyesight or cause blindness.
•Do not expose this product to liquids or operate this product with wet hands. If liquid enters the product, immediately remove the batteries and discontinue use. The continued use of a product exposed to liquids may cause damage or injury through fire or electric shock.
•Do not use the product near inflammable gases or liquids such as gasoline, benzine, or paint thinner. Do not use inflammable products such as alcohol, benzine, or paint thinner to clean the product. The use of inflammable cleaners and solvents may cause an explosion or fire.
•If the product emits a strange odor, heat, or smoke, discontinue use. Immediately remove the batteries taking care not to burn yourself. The continued use of a damaged product or part may cause injuries.
•Take the product to a Minolta Service Facility when repairs are required.
CAUTION
•Do not point the product directly at the sun. If sunlight is focused on an inflammable surface, a fire may result. Replace the lens cap when the product is not in use.
•Do not use or store the product in a hot or humid environment such as the glove compartment or trunk of a car. It may damage the product and batteries which may result in burns or injuries caused by heat, fire, explosion, or leaking battery fluid.
•If batteries are leaking, discontinue use of the product.
•Do not fire the flash while it is in contact with people or objects. The flash unit discharges a large amount of energy which may cause burns.
•Do not apply pressure to the data panel. A damaged panel may cause injury, and the liquid from the panel may cause inflammation. If liquid from the panel makes contact with skin wash the area with fresh water. If liquid from the panel comes in contact with the eyes, immediately rinse the eyes with plenty of water and contact a doctor.
