GETTING UP AND RUNNING

This section covers the preparation of the camera. This includes the changing of batteries, memory cards, and lenses as well as the use of external power supplies.

ATTACHING AND REMOVING A LENS

This camera uses interchangeable lenses. See page 110 for compatible lenses. Never touch the inside of the camera, especially the lens contacts and mirror. Do not leave the interior of the camera exposed to dust or dirt. Replace the caps on the lens and attach the body cap or another lens to the camera as soon as possible. Check the body cap or lens is free from dust before mounting.

Remove the body cap from the camera and the rear cap from the lens.

Align the red mounting index on the lens and camera body. Carefully insert the lens into the mount, then turn it clockwise until it clicks into the locked position. Do not insert the lens at an angle. If it does not fit, check its orientation with the index marks. Never force the lens.

Press the lens release all the way in and turn the lens counterclockwise until it stops. Carefully remove the lens.

ATTACHING THE CAMERA STRAP

Always keep the camera strap around your neck in the event that you drop the camera.

1. Pass the tip of the strap through the camera's strap eyelet from below. Attach the strap so the tip comes between the strap and the camera.
2. Thread the tip of the strap through the holder ring and the inside of the buckle and pull to tighten. Leave some slack in the camera strap so the tip may be threaded through the buckle easily.
3. Push the holder ring toward the strap eyelet to secure the strap to the camera. Repeat with the other end of the camera strap.

DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT

The viewfinder has a built-in diopter that can be adjusted between -2.5 to +1.0. While looking through the viewfinder, turn the diopter-adjustment dial until the viewfinder focus frame is sharp.

The optional Eyepiece Corrector 1000 series diopters can be used if the adjustable viewfinder diopter is not sufficient.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

Before the camera can be used, the lithium-ion battery must be charged. Before charging the battery, read the safety warnings on page 4 of this manual. Only recharge the battery with the supplied battery charger. The battery should be recharged before each shooting session. See page 140 for battery care and storage.

Plug the power cord into the back of the charger unit (1). Plug the other end of the cord into a live household outlet. The included AC cord is designed for the current of the sales region. Only use the cord in the region it was purchased. For more on the AC cable, see page 113.

With the battery contacts toward the charger, align the channels on the bottom of the battery with the tabs on the charger unit. Slide the battery into the unit.

The indicator lamp (2) glows to show the battery is charging. The lamp goes out when the battery is charged. Charging time is approximately 150 minutes.

INSTALLING AND CHANGING THE BATTERY

This digital camera uses one NP-400 lithium-ion battery. Before using the battery, read the safety warnings on pages 4 of this manual. When replacing batteries, the camera should be off.

1. Open the battery-chamber door by sliding the battery-chamber release toward the back of the camera.
2. Insert the battery with the battery contacts first. Push the battery into the chamber until the battery latch clicks into place.
3. To remove a battery, slide the battery latch to the side of the battery chamber; the battery springs out.
4. Close the battery-chamber door until it clicks shut.

TURNING ON THE CAMERA

Slide the main switch to the on position to turn on the camera. The access lamp glows briefly to indicate the power is on. When the camera is initially turned on, the date and time should be set, see page 26. When not in use, turn the camera off to conserve power.

Camera Notes

Each time the camera is turned on, it automatically focuses the lens to the infinity position, even in manual focus. This operation is necessary to ensure proper exposures.

Access lamp

AC ADAPTER AC-11 (SOLD SEPARATELY)

The AC Adapter AC-11 allows the camera to be powered from an electrical household outlet. The AC Adapter is recommended when the camera is interfaced with a computer or during periods of heavy use.

Always turn off the camera and confirm the access lamp is not lit before changing between power supplies.

Open the DC terminal cover from the left. The cover is attached to the body to prevent loss.

Insert the mini plug of the AC adapter into the DC terminal.

Insert the AC adapter plug into an electrical outlet.

BATTERY CONDITION INDICATOR

This camera is equipped with an automatic battery-condition indicator. When the camera is on, the indicator appears on the monitor. The indicator changes from white to red when battery power is low. Not all camera functions are available if battery power is low. If the monitor is blank, the battery may be exhausted.

Full-battery indicator - the battery is fully charged.

Low-battery indicator - battery power is low. Recharge the battery.

Low-battery warning - battery power is very low. Recharge the battery.

When power falls below the level of the low-battery warning, the battery exhausted message appears just before the camera shuts down. The camera will not function until the battery is recharged.

AUTO POWER SAVE

To conserve battery power, the camera shuts down if an operation is not made within three minutes. To restore power, press the shutter-release button partway down. The length of the auto-power save period can be changed in section 3 of the setup menu (p. 105).

The LCD monitor backlight turns off after five seconds. Press a camera button to restore the display. The length of this period can be changed in section 3 of the setup menu (p. 105).

INSERTING AND CHANGING A MEMORY CARD

Always turn off the camera and confirm the access lamp is not lit before inserting or removing a memory card, otherwise the card may be damaged, and data lost.

A memory card must be inserted for the camera to operate. If a card has not been inserted, "----" is displayed in the frame counter. Type I and II CompactFlash cards and Microdrives are compatible with this camera.

1. Slide the card-slot door toward the back of the camera to release the safety catch and open.
2. Insert a memory card all the way into the card slot. Insert the card so the face is toward the front of the camera. Always push the card in straight. Never force the card. If the card does not fit, check that it is oriented correctly.
3. Close the card-slot door and slide it toward the front of the camera to engage the safety catch.
4. To eject a card, open the card-slot door, and press and release the card-eject lever to extend it.
5. Press the extended card-eject lever to eject the card. The card can now be pulled out. Take care when removing the card as it becomes hot with use. The card-eject lever should remain inside the camera body. If it extends, push it into the camera.
6. Insert a new memory card and close the card-slot door.

If the "Unable to use card, Format?" message appears, the card should be formatted with the camera. Use the right/left keys of the controller to highlight the yes button. Press the central button of the controller to format the card; this can take several minutes depending on the card. When a card is formatted, all the data on the card is permanently erased. Selecting "No" cancels the formatting operation; remove the card from the camera. A memory card used in another camera may have to be formatted before being used.

If the card-error message appears, press the central button of the controller to close the window; check the Konica Minolta web site for the latest compatibility information:

Auto acts like the program mode, except that many of the recording functions are reset each time it is selected, see page 41 for more information. Not all function are available in auto recording such as the color mode and Digital Effects Control. The default camera sensitivity (p. 54) is auto for auto recording and ISO 100 for program.

HANDLING THE CAMERA

Grip the camera firmly with your right hand while supporting the body with the palm of your left hand. Keep your elbows at your side and your feet shoulder-width apart to hold the camera steadily. The use of a tripod or monopod is recommended when using the camera in low-light situations or when using telephoto lenses.

BASIC RECORDING DISPLAY

The viewfinder and monitor show the same indicators used in the basic recording operations.

BASIC RECORDING OPERATION

Place the subject within the focus frame. The subject must be within the focus range of the lens. If using a zoom lens, change the focal length to frame the subject.

Press the shutter release button partway down to activate the autofocus and autoexposure systems (1). The viewfinder focus signal (A) confirms focus and the spot or local AF area (B) is illuminated briefly to indicate the point of focus. If the focus signal blinks, repeat the procedure.

The shutter speed (C) and aperture (D) used for the exposure are displayed in the viewfinder and on the monitor.

Press the shutter-release button all the way down (2) to take the picture. Press the shutter-release button gently so as not to the shake the camera during the exposure.

The recorded image is displayed while the image is being saved. Press the shutter-release button partway down to cancel the playback. For more on instant playback, see page 74.

The access lamp (E) glows indicating the image data is being written to the memory card. Never remove a card while data is being transferred.

FOCUS Signals

The viewfinder focus signal indicates the status of the autofocus system. Focusing time can be longer with macro or telephoto lenses, or in low-light conditions.

Focus locked.

Focus is confirmed (Continuous AF - p. 58).
Indicator blinks - cannot focus. The shutter is locked.
Focusing (Continuous AF). The shutter is locked.

When the camera cannot focus, the subject may be too close or a special focusing situation may be preventing the system from focusing. Use focus lock with an object at the same distance as the main subject (p. 30), focus the camera manually (p. 49), or raise the flash to use the AF illuminator (p. 96).

Autofocus priority and shutter-release priority can be specified in section 1 of the custom menu (p. 93).

SPECIAL FOCUSING SITUATIONS

The camera may not be able to focus in certain situations. Use focus lock or manual focus.

The subject is composed of repeating vertical lines.

The subject in the focus frame is low in contrast.

Two subjects at different distances overlap in the focus frame.

The subject is near a very bright object or area.

FOCUS LOCK

The focus-lock function is used when the subject is off-center and outside the focus frame. Focus lock may also be used when a special focusing situation prevents the camera from focusing on the subject.

Place the subject within the focus frame. Press and hold the shutter-release button partway down (1). The focus signals indicates that the focus is locked. When the focus is set, an AF area is illuminated briefly to indicate the point of focus.

Without lifting your finger from the shutter-release button, recompose the subject within the viewfinder. Press the shutter-release button all the way down to take the picture (2).

CAMERA-SHAKE WARNING

If the shutter speed falls below the point where the camera can be hand held safely, the camera-shake warning indicator blinks in the viewfinder. Camera shake is slight blurring caused by subtle hand motion and is more pronounced with telephoto lenses than wide angle. Although the warning appears, the shutter can still be released. If the warning appears, place the camera on a tripod or use the built-in flash.

USING THE BUILT-IN FLASH

The built-in flash is designed to be used with lenses with focal lengths from 18mm or longer. When using lenses shorter than 18mm, the corners of the image are not be fully illuminated. The lens hood and certain lenses can cause shadowing, see page 110. The shutter will not release while the flash is charging.

To use the flash, simply pull up the unit by the tabs on each side. The flash position must be set manually, and once up, the flash unit always fires regardless of the amount of ambient light. The flash mode is changed with the recording menu (p. 75).

Push down the built-in flash when the camera is not in use. The flash is also used as an AF illuminator, see page 96.

The viewfinder flash signal indicates the status of the flash.

Signal steady - flash charged and ready to fire.
Signal blinking - flash output was sufficient for exposure.

If the flash signal does not blink after taking the picture, the subject was not within the flash range. The flash range depends on the aperture used for the exposure. The follow chart shows the range when camera sensitivity is set to auto (auto recording) or ISO 100 (program). See page 55 for the flash range with other camera sensitivity settings.

Aperture	Auto ISO (Auto recording)	ISO 100 (Program exposure)
f/2.8	1.4m ~ 8.6m (4.6 ft. ~ 28 ft.)	1.0m ~ 4.3m (3.3 ft. ~ 14 ft.)
f/3.5	1.1m ~ 6.8m (3.6 ft. ~ 22 ft.)	1.0m ~ 3.4m (3.3 ft. ~ 11 ft.)
f/4.0	1.0m ~ 6.0m (3.3 ft. ~ 20 ft.)	1.0m ~ 3.0m (3.3 ft. ~ 9.8 ft.)
f/5.6	1.0m ~ 4.3m (3.3 ft. ~ 14 ft.)	1.0m ~ 2.1m (3.3 ft. ~ 6.7 ft.)

Anti-shake switch

ANTI-SHAKE SYSTEM

The Anti-Shake system minimizes the effect of camera shake, a slight blurring caused by subtle hand motion. Camera shake is more pronounced at long focal lengths than short ones.

Anti-Shake is less effective with moving subjects or when the camera is panned, with shutter speeds of 1/4 second or longer, and short object distances. Anti-shake is disabled with bulb exposures (p. 45).

When the system is active, the Anti-Shake scale in the viewfinder glows. Anti-Shake is turned off and on with the Anti-shake switch.

Frame the subject as described in the basic operation section. Press the shutter-release button partway down to focus and set the exposure.

The Anti-Shake scale indicates the degree of stabilization. The greater the scale displayed, the more unstable the image. Confirm the image has stabilized with the scale and press the shutter-release button all the way down to take the picture.

Anti-shake cannot be used with some lenses, see page 110. Turn Anti-Shake off when the camera is mounted on a tripod. The metered exposure may change when turning this function on and off.

Digital subject programs

Digital subject programs optimize the camera's exposure, whitebalance, and image-processing systems for specific conditions and subjects. Simply turn the exposure mode dial to select the appropriate subject program.

• Portrait - optimized to reproduce warm, soft skin tones and a slight defocusing of the background. Most portraits look best with telephoto lenses; the longer focal length does not exaggerate facial features and the shallower depth of field softens the background. Use the built-in flash with strong direct sunlight or backlight to reduce harsh shadows.

Sports action - used to capture fast action by maximizing shutter speeds. When using a flash, make sure the subject is within the flash range (p. 55). Continuous autofocus (p. 58) and continuous-advance drive mode (p. 50) are active. A monopod is more flexible and compact than a tripod when shooting events.

• Landscape - optimized to produce sharp, colorful landscapes. Used with bright outdoor scenery.

Sunset - optimized to reproduce rich, warm sunsets. Take care not to look directly at the sun when it is above the horizon; your eyesight could be damaged permanently.

Night portrait - for deep, subtle night scenes. When used with flash, the subject and background exposures are balanced. Use a tripod to eliminate blurring from camera shake. The flash can only be used with close subjects such as with a portrait of a person. When using the flash, ask your subjects not to move after the burst; long shutter speeds can be used for the background exposure.

Not all recording functions, such as the color mode and Digital Effects Control can be changed when using Digital Subject Programs. The use of auto white balance (AWB) is recommended when using Digital Subject Programs (p. 64).

Auto recording

Auto recording is set with the exposure-mode dial. Use this exposure mode when wanting fully-automatic exposure control. Auto recording operates like the program exposure mode, except that when the exposure mode dial is turned to the auto-recording position, recording functions are reset to their default settings. Not all function are available in auto recording such as color mode and Digital Effects Control.

Functions are reset to: fill-flash or red-eye reduction flash mode, multi-segment metering, Auto AF focus mode, wide AF area, single-frame advance drive mode, flash and exposure compensation reset, ADI flash control, Auto ISO, large-size images, fine image quality, AF priority, noise reduction.

Program shift

Program - P

Program exposure is set with the exposure-mode dial (p. 39). Like auto recording, program controls both the shutter speed and aperture required for each exposure. The operation is the same as described in the basic recording operation section on page 28. However, unlike auto recording, functions set in this mode do not reset when the position of the exposure-mode dial is changed. The default camera sensitivity for program is ISO 100.

Program shift allows adjustment to the shutter-speed/aperture combination in 1/3 Ev increments without affecting the total exposure. Using the built-in flash cancels program shift.

Press the shutter-release button partway down until the shutter speed and aperture are displayed. Turn the control dial (1) to shift the shutter speed and aperture combination; Ps is displayed for the exposure mode. Program shift can be changed between aperture and shutter priority in section 1 of the custom menu (p. 92, 95).

Aperture Priority - A

Aperture priority is set with the exposure-mode dial (p. 39). The photographer selects the aperture and the camera sets the appropriate shutter speed to ensure correct exposure.

Turn the control dial (1) to adjust the aperture in 1/3 Ev increments. The aperture range depends on the lens. The aperture is displayed on the monitor and in the viewfinder.

Pressing the shutter-release button partway down displays the corresponding shutter speed. With the camera sensitivity (ISO) set to auto, the shutter speed may not change when the aperture is adjusted because the shutter speeds can change in fine steps. Press the shutter-release button all the way down to take the picture.

Shutter Priority - S

Shutter priority is set with the exposure-mode dial (p. 39). The photographer selects the shutter speed and the camera sets the appropriate aperture to ensure correct exposure.

Turn the control dial (1) to adjust the shutter speed between 30 and 1/4000 second in 1/3 Ev increments. The shutter speed is displayed on the monitor and in the viewfinder.

Pressing the shutter-release button partway down displays the corresponding aperture. Press the shutter-release button all the way down to take the picture.

Flash Sync. Speed

There is a limit to the maximum shutter speed when using the built-in flash. When Anti-Shake is on, the maximum shutter speed that can be used is 1/125s. With Anti-Shake off, the flash sync. speed is 1/160s. While a faster shutter speed cannot be used, there is no limit to the use of slower shutter speeds. Flash range is dependent on the aperture, see page 55.

Exposure control range warnings

Auto recording, Program, Digital Subject Programs

If the required exposure is beyond the shutter speed and aperture range, the shutter speed and aperture displays blink. In bright conditions, use a neutral density filter on the lens, set a lower camera sensitivity (ISO), or, if using artificial lights, reduce the intensity of the illumination. In dark conditions, use the built-in flash or increase the camera sensitivity (ISO).

Aperture priority

If the required exposure is beyond the shutter speed range, the shutter-speed display blinks. Adjust the aperture until the display is steady.

Shutter priority

If the required exposure is beyond the aperture range, the aperture display blinks. Adjust the shutter speed until the display is steady.

About Shutter Speeds

The shutter speed used for each exposure is displayed on the monitor and in the viewfinder. The following notation is used:

The reciprocal is used for shutter speeds from 1/4000 second to 1/3 second. 125 is 1/125 second.

For shutter speeds of a half a second or longer, a quote mark is used to denote whole seconds. 1"5 is one and a half seconds and 15" is fifteen seconds.

Manual Exposure - M

Manual exposure mode allows individual selection of shutter speeds and apertures. This mode overrides the exposure system giving the photographer control over the final exposure. Bulb exposures can be made, see below. Manual exposure is set with the exposure-mode dial (p. 39).

1. Turn the control dial to change the shutter speed.
2. Press and hold the exposure-compensation button and turn the control dial to change the aperture.

The operation to change the aperture and shutter speed can be reversed in section 1 of the custom menu (p. 95).

1. Press and hold the AEL button and turn the control dial to shift the shutter speed and aperture without affecting the exposure.

The Ev scale on the monitor and in the viewfinder indicates the difference between the set exposure and the exposure determined by the camera meter. Press the shutter-release button partway down to activate the meter. The manual metering (M.M.) indicator is displayed on the monitor Ev scale.

The set exposure is 1.0Ev less (-) than the exposure determined by the meter.

The arrow indicates the set exposure is 2.3Ev more (+) or less (-) than the exposure determined by the meter.

The blinking arrow indicates the set exposure is ± 2.7Ev or greater than the exposure determined by the meter.

Spot metering area

By pressing and holding the AEL button (1), continuous meter readings are displayed on the Ev scales. Two indices can be displayed. The fixed index shows the meter reading made when the AEL button is pressed. The other index shows any changes in the metered area.

The fixed index is in reference to the selected metering mode (p. 59). The other index uses the spot metering area to determine the reading.

When using flash with manual exposure, the shutter speed cannot exceed the flash-sync speed (p. 42). Flash range is dependent on the aperture (p. 55).

Bulb exposures

Bulb photographs can be taken in the manual-exposure mode (M). The use of a tripod, remote cord, and eyepiece cap (p. 111) is recommended. The camera's exposure system cannot be used to calculate bulb exposures. The use of a separate light meter is recommended. Anti-Shake is disabled.

1. Set the appropriate aperture required for the exposure.
2. Decrease the shutter-speed until "BULB" is displayed.
3. To take the picture, press and hold the shutter-release button for the duration of the exposure. Releasing the shutter button ends the exposure.

The monitor is blank during the exposure and remains blank after the exposure for up to 30 seconds while noise-reduction processing is applied to the image.

EXPOSURE LOCK - AEL BUTTON

The AE lock button locks the automatic exposure system without activating the AF system. This function allows the exposure to be set by a gray card or reference target outside the scene. When using flash in the auto recording, P, A, or digital subject program exposure modes, slow-shutter sync is active (p. 47). The operation of the AE lock button can be changed in section 1 of the custom menu (p. 94).

Frame the exposure target in the viewfinder depending on the metering mode in use (p. 59). Press and hold the AE lock button (1) to lock the exposure; the shutter speed and aperture are displayed and the AEL indicator is displayed in the viewfinder and on the monitor. Release the button to cancel the lock.

Spot metering area

While holding the AEL button, place the subject in the focus frame and press the shutter-release button partway down to focus (2). Press the shutter-release button down all the way to take the picture.

The exposure remains locked after the picture is taken if the AEL button is not released.

While the exposure is locked, the camera meter is still active. The viewfinder and monitor Ev scale shows the difference between the locked exposure and the current light level measured with the meter. Spot metering is used.

When the monitor and viewfinder Ev scale indicates 0, the locked exposure shown in the shutter-speed and aperture displays is the same as the exposure determined by the spot-metering area.

The metered area is 1.0Ev less (-) than the locked exposure.

The arrow indicates the metered exposure is 2.3Ev more (+) or less (-) than the locked exposure.

The blinking arrow indicates the metered exposure is ± 2.7Ev or greater than the locked exposure.

SLOWSYNC.

When using flash, pressing the AEL button activates the slow-sync. function; slow sync. is not available in S and M exposure modes. Slow sync. balances the ambient light exposure with the flash exposure so the background is recorded with the subject.

When the AEL button is pressed and held, the ambient light exposure is determined and the flash exposure is based on the locked aperture setting. The use of a tripod is recommended with slow-sync. exposures.

SPOT-AF BUTTON

Spot AF can be used at any time. With the spot AF area placed on the subject, press and hold the central button of the controller to focus (1). The viewfinder focus signal confirms focus and the spot AF indicator (2) is displayed on the monitor. Pressing and holding the four-way controller key activates and locks focus with the wide focus area.

Compose the image in the viewfinder and press the shutter-release button all the way down to take the picture. Focus remains locked after the picture is taken until the central controller button is released.

EXPOSURE COMPENSATION

When using auto recording, P, A, and S exposure modes or a digital subject program, the exposure can be compensated.

To compensate the ambient exposure, press and hold the exposure-compensation button and turn the control dial; the degree of compensation is displayed on the monitor and viewfinder Ev scales.

1 -2…100…1…2+

The exposure is compensated by -1.0Ev.

After the setting is made, the shutter-speed and aperture displays indicate the actual exposure. Because exposure compensation uses 0.3Ev increments, lens apertures may not be displayed correctly.

Sometimes the camera's exposure meter is deceived by high key or low key subjects. In the example below, the dark water caused the camera to overexpose the image making it bright and washed-out. By compensating the exposure, detail is brought out in the leaves, and the stones and water appear richer.

Metered camera exposure

-1.0Ev

-2.0Ev

DEPTH-OF-FIELDPreview

The aperture controls depth of field; the area in front of the camera that appears in focus. The smaller the aperture, the greater the depth of field. Depth-of-field preview sets the lens aperture to the setting used in the exposure so the affect of depth of field can be seen in the viewfinder.

Press the shutter-release button partway down to lock the focus and exposure. Press the depth-of-field preview button to stop down the aperture.

Camera Notes

Some Konica Minolta lenses are equipped with focus-hold buttons. Section 1 in the custom menu allows the focus-hold button to be used for depth-of-field preview (p. 94).

AF/MF SWITCH

Slide the AM/MF switch to change between autofocus and manual focus. An indicator on the monitor shows the active focus mode.

The drive modes control the rate and method of image capture. Single-frame advance is the default drive mode and is described in the basic recording section on page 28. The drive mode is set with the drive-mode selection screen. Press the drive-mode button (1) to open the screen.

Drive-mode indicator

Single-frame and Continuous advance - to take single or multiple images at one time (p. 51).

Self-timer - to delay the release of the shutter by 10 or 2 seconds (p. 51).

Exposure bracketing - to take a series of 3 images with differing exposure (p. 52).

White-balance bracketing - to make 3 images with differing white balance (p. 53) from a single exposure.

Use the up/down keys of the controller to select the drive-mode group.

Use the left/right keys of the controller to highlight the drive-mode option.

Press the center button of the controller to select the drive mode. An indicator is displayed on the monitor to confirm the selection.

Continuous-advance notes

Continuous-advance mode allows a series of images to be captured while holding down the shutter-release button. The maximum frame rate is 3fps until the camera buffer memory is full. The frame rate after that depends on the writing speed of the memory card. Five RAW or three RAW + JPEG will fill the camera buffer memory. The number of JPEG images depend on the subject; some subjects can be compressed further than others.

AF Zoom xi and Power Zoom lenses cannot be zoomed when taking pictures with continuous advance. The frame rate is affected by the flash as it must recharge between exposures. Focus and exposure are set between each frame with continuous AF and Auto AF.

Self-timer notes

With the camera on a tripod, compose the picture as described in the basic recording section (p. 28). Press the shutter-release button partway down to lock the exposure and focus. Press the shutter-release button all the way down to begin the countdown.

Because focus and exposure are determined when the shutter-release button is pressed, do not stand in front of the camera when taking a self-timer image. Always confirm the focus with the focus signals before beginning the countdown. Attach the eyepiece cap if a bright light source is behind the camera, see page 111.

With the ten-second self-timer, the self-timer lamp on the front of the camera and the audio signals

indicate the countdown. The lamp glows steadily just before the shutter fires. To stop the countdown, change the position of the exposure-mode dial or flash (lift it or push it down), or turn the camera off. The audio signal can be turned off in section 1 of the setup menu (p. 98). The mirror raises just before the exposure.

With the two-second self-timer, no indication is given during the countdown. The mirror raises when the countdown starts.

Exposure bracketing notes

Bracketing is a method of taking a series of images of a static subject in which each image has a slight variation in exposure. Exposure and flash brackets can be made.

Select continuous-advance bracketing or single-frame advance bracketing and the bracketing increment with the drive-mode selection screen (p. 50). Continuous-advance bracketing creates a successive series of three images automatically when the shutter-release button is pressed and held. The shutter-release button must be pressed for each exposure when using single-frame advance bracketing. The greater the increment, the greater the difference among the images. When selected, the number of frames and the bracketing increment is displayed on the Ev scale. The bracketing order can be set in section 2 of the recording menu (p. 80).

Exposure bracket: 0.3 Ev

0.3 Ev bracket
0.7 Ev bracket

Flash bracket: 0.7 Ev

To make a flash bracket, raise the camera flash; the ambient exposure is not bracketed. Only single-frame advance flash brackets can be made regardless of the specified mode; press the shutter-release button for each exposure. The built-in flash recharges between exposures. Exposure brackets are made when the flash is down.

Compose the picture as described in the basic recording section (p. 28). As the bracket is made, the index marks disappear from the Ev scale to show the remaining frames. When making a continuous-advance bracket, if the shutter button is release before the bracket is completed, the bracket resets. If using continuous AF or Auto AF with moving subjects (p. 58), the camera focuses between each exposure.

When exposure brackets are made in S exposure mode, the aperture controls the bracket. In A and M exposure modes, the shutter speed controls the bracket; in M mode, pressing the AEL button during the bracket changes the exposure control to the aperture. The camera uses both the aperture and shutter speed control the bracket in P and auto recording.

White-balance bracketing notes

White-balance bracketing creates three images from a single exposure in which each image has a slight variation in color temperature. For more on white balance, see page 64.

Low white-balance bracket

High white-balance bracket

Select the appropriate white-balance bracketing drive mode with the drive-mode selection screen (p. 50). The low white-balance bracket uses an approximate 10 mired shift from the normal balance. The high white-balance bracket uses an approximate 20 mired shift from the normal balance.

Compose and take the picture as described in the basic recording section (p. 28). When the exposure is made, the camera automatically creates two other images with the appropriate shift in white balance.

CAMERA SENSITIVITY (ISO) AND ZONE MATCHING

Camera sensitivity can be changed. Zone Matching for high-key or low-key subjects can be activated. The sensitivity setting is displayed on the monitor. Press the camera-sensitivity button (1) to open the setting screen.

Camera sensitivity display

Sensitivity / Zone Matching
AUTO	100	200
400	800	1500
3200	Lo 80	Hi200
←→:select ↕enter

Use the four-way keys of the controller to highlight the sensitivity option. The Hi 200 and Lo 80 options are for Zone Matching, see below.

Press the center button of the controller to complete the operation.

The auto setting automatically adjusts the camera sensitivity to the light conditions between ISO 100 and 800, and ISO 100 and 400 when using flash. The fixed numerical settings are based on the film ISO equivalent: the higher the number, the more sensitive. As the ISO value doubles, the camera sensitivity doubles; a change of one Ev. Noise increases with sensitivity; an ISO setting of 100 has the least noise and 3200 has the most. Noise is a grainy texture that can be apparent in the image.

Zone Matching is used for recording high-key (Hi200) or low-key (Low80) scenes. The number refers to the approximate ISO equivalent for reflected-light meter measurements. A high-key scene is made up of predominately light tones and colors. A low-key scene is made up of dark tones and colors. Zone Matching controls exposure and contrast to improve reproduction of these scenes. When selected, the zone indicator is displayed in the camera-sensitivity display on the monitor. Any changes to contrast with the Digital Effects Control are canceled (p. 63).

CAMERA SENSITIVITY AND FLASH RANGE

A change in camera sensitivity (ISO) affects the flash range. The flash range depends on the aperture used:

3. Metering mode (p. 59)
4. Flash compensation (p. 60)
5. Color mode (p. 61)
6. Digital Effects Control (p. 63)

AF area

AF-area modes control which AF areas are used for focus. The modes are selected with the function button (p. 56). The active AF area is indicated on the monitor.

Wide AF area - to use the wide focus frames in the viewfinder to focus. See the basic operation section on page 28. Pressing and holding the four-way controller keys also activates and locks focus with the wide focus area. Spot AF can be used, see page 47.

Spot AF area - the spot AF area is used for focus. The shutter release button and all controller keys activate spot AF.

Focus area selection - a specific AF area can be selected. Only the spot AF area can be used with the AF Reflex 500mm f/8 and AF Power Zoom 35-80mm f/4.0-5.6 lenses.

Spot AF area

When focus area selection is active, use the controller to select the AF area; autofocus activates and locks each time an area is selected. The central button selects the spot AF area. Focus remains locked after the picture is taken until the controller is released.

The active area is indicated on the monitor and is briefly illuminated in the viewfinder.

AF modes

Single-shot AF (Autofocus), continuous AF, automatic AF, and direct manual focus is set with the function button (p. 56).

The AF system activates when the shutter-release button is pressed partway down or with the controller (p. 57). Focus is confirmed with the viewfinder focus signals, see page 29.

Single-shot AF - a general purpose autofocusing mode. Its operation is described in the basic recording section. Focus lock is available (p. 30).

Automatic AF - this AF mode automatically switches between single-shot AF and continuous AF depending on the subject's motion.

Continuous AF - used for photographing moving subjects. The camera continuously focuses on the subject even when the shutter-release button is pressed partway down. Spot and local AF areas illuminate as the subject moves through the wide focus frames to indicate the point of focus when the continuous AF is active. Focus lock is not available.

Direct manual focus - operates like automatic AF, but after the AF system focuses, the focus can be adjusted manually by the photographer. Press the shutter-release button partway down or press the controller to activate the AF system. When the viewfinder focus signal is displayed, manually focus the lens. Do not attempt to focus the lens until the focus signal is displayed.

The active mode is displayed on the monitor.

Metering modes

The metering mode specifies the metering pattern. The metering mode is set with the function button (p. 56).

On the function-selection screen, use the up/down keys of the controller to select the metering modes and the left/right keys to select the specific mode. Press the central button of the controller to complete the operation.

Multi-segment metering - the camera's standard metering mode appropriate for most photographic situations. By combining information on the subject's distance and position from the autofocus system, this mode is less influenced by spot lighting or backlighting.

Center weighted - measures light values over the entire image area with emphasis given the central region.

Spot - uses a circular area within the image to calculate the exposure. Spot metering allows precise exposure measurements of a particular object without being influenced by extremely bright or dark areas within the scene.

Spot metering area

The active mode is displayed on the monitor.

If the luminance levels of the scene are outside the metering range, both arrows at each end of the Ev scale blink. In dark conditions, use the camera flash. Under bright light, use a neutral density filter on the lens to control the light levels.

Flash compensation

The relative output of the flash can be compensated by ± 2.0 Ev with the function button (p. 56).

On the function-selection screen, use the up/down keys of the controller to select exposure compensation and the left/right keys to adjust the degree of compensation. Press the central button of the controller to complete the operation.

When the camera flash is raised, the degree of flash compensation is indicated by the Ev scale.

When using fill-flash to reduce harsh shadows caused by bright illumination or direct sunlight, flash compensation can change the ratio between the highlights and shadows. Fill flash affect the darkness of the shadows without affecting the area illuminated by the main light source.

-1.0 Ev flash compensation

Positive compensation

No compensation

Negative compensation

No flash

By decreasing the flash output with a negative Ev setting, the shadows receive less light and are darker, but subtle details in the shadows that would not appear without the flash are apparent. Increasing the flash output by using a positive Ev setting softens and nearly eliminate shadows.

Color mode

The color mode controls what the image looks like as well as the color space. The color mode is set with the function button (p. 56). The color mode can only be selected in P, A, S, and M exposure modes. Except for the Abobe RGB and embed Adobe RGB, all color modes use sRGB color space. Some color modes use preset Digital Effects Control values (p. 63); the default positions are indicated by a thick index mark on the scale of the setting screen.

Natural Color - reproduces the colors in the scene faithfully.

Natural Plus - increases contrast and acutance.

Portrait - optimize for the reproduction of skin tones.

Landscape - optimize for daytime outdoor scenery.

Sunset - optimize for landscapes at dusk and dawn. The use of auto white balance is recommended.

Night view - optimize for nighttime scenery without flash.

Night portrait - optimize for nighttime portraits with flash.

Black & White - for monochrome images.

Adobe RGB - natural color reproduction using the extended gamut Adobe RGB color space. The color space is not embedded in the image data.

Embedded Adobe RGB - natural color reproduction using the extended gamut Adobe RGB color space. The color space is embedded in the image data.

(Continued on the next page.)

The active mode is displayed on the monitor. When using portrait, -landscape, sunset, night view, or night portrait color mode, the use of auto white balance is recommended.

About Adobe RGB

Adobe RGB has a larger color gamut than the more common sRGB. The size of the gamut limits the colors that can be reproduced; the larger the gamut, the more colors. If the image will be printed out with a high-quality printer, the use of the Embedded Adobe RGB and Adobe RGB color modes are recommended over the other sRGB color modes.

Embedded Adobe RGB image files are indicated with a .JPE extension. Adobe RGB images without an embedded profile use a file name beginning with _ICT. See page 120 for more information.

Always use DFC 2.0 optional color space compliant software to open Adobe RGB images without embedded profiles. DiIMAGE Master Lite 1.0.1 or DiIMAGE Master 1.1 or later is DFC 2.0 optional color space compliant. Always use software with color matching or color management functions to open Adobe RGB images with embedded profiles. Software without color management functions, such as Kodak EasyShare, will not reproduce Adobe RGB images correctly.

DiIMAGE Master Lite supplied with the camera is required to open RAW Adobe RGB images taken with this camera. The full version of DiIMAGE Master can also be used. For more on DiIMAGE Master, see page 81 or visit us on the web at:

North America http://kmpi.konicaminolta.us/

Europe http://www.konicaminolta support.com

Digital effects control (DEC)

The Digital Effects Control can make adjustments to the contrast, color saturation, and sharpness of specific color modes. Some color modes use preset Digital Effects Control values, the default positions are indicated by a thick index mark on the scale. Digital effects are set with the function button (p. 56).

On the function-selection screen, use the up/down keys of the controller to select the contrast, saturation, or sharpness control; the selected control is highlighted. Use the left/right keys to make adjustments. Press the central button of the controller to complete the operation.

When set to any value other than zero, an indicator and value is displayed on the monitor as a warning. The Digital Effects Control can only be used in P, A, S, and M exposure modes.

Changes in sharpness may not be apparent on the camera monitor.

WHITE BALANCE

White balance is the camera's ability to make different types of lighting appear natural. The active white-balance mode is displayed in the white-balance panel on the monitor.

Turn the white-balance dial to the appropriate position.

Auto white balance - white balance is set automatically.

Preset white balance - to set the white balance to a specific light source.

Custom white balance - to calibrate the camera to a specific lighting situation.

Color temperature - to set the white balance to a specific color temperature.

The last changes made are displayed on the monitor. Press the white-balance button in the center of the dial to change settings. See the following sections for more information. If the exposure-mode dial is turned to the auto recording or a digital subject program position, white balances is reset to auto.

AWB - Auto White Balance

Auto white balance automatically detects the type of light and adjust the white balance accordingly. When the built-in flash is used, the white balance is set for the color temperature of the flash. Simply set the white-balance dial to the AWB position.

Preset white balance

With the white balance dial in the preset white balance position, press the white-balance button to open the setting screen.

Preset white balance

Use the left/right controller keys or control dial to select the white-balance setting.

The up/down controller keys shift the whitebalance, see below.

Press the central controller button to complete the operation.

The up/down controller keys adjust the white balance in seven levels: +3 to -3 (+4 to -2 for fluorescent). Except for fluorescent, the change of one unit is approximately equal to a 10 mired shift.

Daylight - for outdoor sunlit subjects.

Shade - for subjects illuminated by skylight: shady conditions on a clear day.

Cloudy - for cloudy or overcast outdoor conditions.

Tungsten - for incandescent lighting: household filament light bulbs.

Fluorescent - for fluorescent lighting: office ceiling lights.

Flash - for electronic flash.

For more information on light sources, see page 69.

Custom white balance

Custom-white-balance function allows the camera to be calibrated to a specific lighting condition. With the white balance dial in the custom position, press the white-balance button to open the setting screen.

A guidance message appears. If the shutter-release button is pressed partway down, the monitor display returns. The red custom set indicator is displayed in the white-balance panel. Turn the white-balance dial to another position to cancel the routine.

Spot metering area

Fill the spot metering area with a white or neutral object; the object does not need to be in focus. Press the shutter-release button all the way down to calibrate the camera.

An image of the reference target is displayed. Press the central button of the controller to complete the operation.

A calibration error may occur under extremely bright light sources, especially with flash units. If an error occurs, a message appears on the monitor and the white-balance indicator is yellow. Repeat the procedure by recalibrating using a gray card as a reference target to reduce the intensity of the illumination.

K Color temperature

White balance can be set to a known color temperature of a light source or set to the color temperature determined by a color meter. With the white balance dial in the color temperature (K) position, press the white-balance button to open the setting screen.

Use the left/right controller keys or control dial to select among thousand ^ K hundred K, and magenta/green compensation.

Color temperature

Use the up/down controller keys to adjust the value.

Magenta/Green compensation

Press the central controller button to complete the operation.

Color temperature refers to the color of the light emitted from a blackbody radiator at a specific temperature given in degrees Kelvin. This is an accurate way of measuring light from continuous-spectrum sources such as the sun and incandescent or tungsten light bulbs.

However, color temperature alone can be inaccurate with discontinuous-spectrum sources such as fluorescent. The magenta/green compensation scale allows adjustments to compensate for this problem. The increment on the scale is equivalent to approximately 5CC; M3 would be 15CC magenta.

For information on light sources, see page 69.

A SHORT GUIDE TO PHOTOGRAPHY

Photography can be a rewarding pursuit. It is a broad and disciplined field that can take years to master. But the pleasure in making photographs and the joy of capturing a magical moment cannot be compared. The guide is an introduction to some basic photographic principles.

The lens aperture controls not only exposure, but also depth of field; the area between the closest object in focus and the furthest object in focus. The larger the aperture value, the greater the depth of field and the longer the shutter speed needed to make the exposure. The smaller the aperture value, the shallower the depth of field and the faster the shutter speed needed to make the exposure. Usually landscape photographs use a large depth of field (large aperture value) to keep the foreground and background in focus, and portraits use a shallow depth of field (small aperture value) to separate the subject from the background.

Depth of field also changes with focal length. The smaller the focal length, the greater the depth of field; the longer the focal length, the shallower the depth of field.

The shutter controls not only exposure, but also the ability to stop motion. Fast shutter speeds are used in sport photography to stop action. Slow shutter speeds can be used to show the flow of motion such as water cascading over a waterfall. The use of a tripod is recommended with slow shutter speeds.

For critical work, take a test photograph and view the result in playback. The image can be deleted if not acceptable.

LIGHT SOURCES AND COLOR

The human eye adapts itself extremely well under different conditions. The paper of this manual you are reading looks white regardless of the type of lighting. Photographic systems are much less flexible. As the light source changes, so does the overall color of a scene - fluorescent office ceiling lights create a green cast to pictures, regular household tungsten light bulbs make everything red. Like your eyes, the camera's white-balance controls adjust for different lighting to make natural looking pictures.

The most common source of light, our sun, changes color depending on the time of day and the atmospheric conditions. The sun is of course very warm near the horizon and very blue at noon. The daylight preset white-balance setting is for beautiful sunny days. When the weather is overcast, the color is cooler and the cloudy setting is appropriate. When the main light source is skylight, light from the blue sky rather than the direct light of the sun, the resulting color is very blue. The shade preset white-balance is designed for this condition.

Artificial lighting is more consistent but shows variations. Tungsten lamps become warmer as their wattage decreases. And fluorescent lamps come in classifications that define their color. The preset white balance settings can be adjusted to match the change in these light sources.

Some artificial lighting have a discontinuous spectrum that create very unnatural color in a photograph. White balance cannot correct high-energy vapor lighting: sodium-vapor (yellow highway lights), or mercury vapor. For portraits under these lighting conditions, the flash can be used to overpower the ambient light. With landscapes containing these types of lights, set the white balance to the preset daylight setting.

WHAT IS AN EV?

Ev stands for exposure value. A change of one Ev adjusts the exposure calculated by the camera by a factor of two. An Ev and a "stop" are the same.

+2.0 Ev	4X as much light
+1.0 Ev	2X as much light
±0.0 Ev	Calculated exposure
-1.0 Ev	1/2 as much light
-2.0 Ev	1/4 as much light

Camera Notes

The control dial moves the cursor left and right in the menus.

The menu section memory option in section 3 of the setup menu memorizes the last menu section opened and returns to that section when the menu button is pressed (p. 106).

IMAGE SIZE AND IMAGE QUALITY

Image size and quality are set in section 1 of the recording menu (p. 70). Changes are displayed on the monitor.

AUTO	125	F5.6
	-2:10:12+	ISO AUTO
		L FINE
	AWB	0039
		L: 3008 X 2000 (Large)

		S: 1504 X 1000 (Small)
		RAW image
		RAW & JPEG image
		Extra fine: JPEG image
		Fine: JPEG image
		STD.

Image size affects the number of pixels in each image. The greater the image size, the larger the file size. Choose image size based on the final use of the image - smaller images are more suitable for web sites whereas larger sizes produce higher quality prints.

Image quality controls the file type and rate of compression. RAW is high-quality image file. The extra fine, fine, and standard settings produce JPEG files at various rates of compression. The higher the image quality, the lower the rate of compression and the larger the file sizes. If economical use of the memory card is important, use the standard mode. The RAW & JPEG option creates two image files at one time, a large RAW file and a fine quality JPEG file with an image size selected with the menu. The image files are saved with the same file name, but with different extensions (p. 120).

In the RAW image-quality mode, the image size is set to large and cannot be changed. The image size is not displayed on the monitors. The enlarged playback and print functions cannot be used.

Unlike the other image-quality modes, RAW image data is unprocessed and requires image processing before it can be used. To process the RAW data, DiIMAGE Master 1.1 or later, or DiIMAGE Master Lite 1.0.1 or later is required. A copy of DiIMAGE Master Lite 1.0.1 is supplied with the camera.

The number of images that can be stored on a memory card is determined by the size of the card and the file size of the images. One memory card can contain images of differing sizes and quality. The actual file size is determined by the scene; some subjects can be compressed further than others.

Approximate file sizes.

Camera Notes

The frame counter indicates the approximate number of images that can be stored on the memory card at the camera's image quality and size settings. If the settings are changed, the frame counter adjusts accordingly. Because the counter uses approximate file sizes, the actual image taken may not change the counter or may decrease it by more than one. When the frame counter displays zero, it indicates no more images at the image size and quality settings can be captured. Changing those settings may allow more images to be saved to the card.

INSTANT PLAYBACK

After an image is captured, it can be displayed on the monitors for two, five, or ten seconds before being saved. The last image of a continuous-advance or continuous-advance bracketing series is displayed. Instant playback is activated and the length of the playback period is set with the instant-playback option in section 1 of the recording menu (p. 70).

Display button

During the instant playback period, many of the playback functions are available. The displayed images can be deleted using the delete button (p. 36). An image can be magnified with the enlarge button (p. 38). The information display can be turned off and on with the display button, and the histogram can be displayed using the up key of the controller (p. 35). When using continuous advance or continuous-advance bracketing, use the left/right controller keys or turn the control dial to display the frames in the series; playback mode is active and all images on the memory card can be viewed and the playback menu opened.

Enlarge button

Press the shutter-release button partway down or press the playback button to return to the recording mode.

NOISE REDUCTION

This function reduces the effect of dark noise with exposures of one second or longer. Processing is applied to each image after it is captured. The monitor remains blank during processing for a maximum of 30 seconds. This can be turned off in section 1 of the recording menu (p. 70). Noise reduction uses dark-frame subtraction. Noise reduction is not applied to a continuous-advance series.

FLASH MODES

The flash mode can be changed in section 2 of the recording menu (p. 70). For the flash to fire, the built-in unit must be manually raised; lower the flash to prevent it from firing. The auto-white-balance setting gives priority to the flash's color temperature. If another type of white balance is used, priority is given to the active setting's color temperature.

乡

Fill-flash - used as the main or supplementary light. In low-light conditions, the flash acts as the main source of illumination and overpowers the ambient light. Under strong sunlight or in backlit situations, the fill-flash can reduce harsh shadows.

#

Red-eye reduction - used when taking photographs of people or animals in low-light conditions. The red-eye effect is caused by light reflected from the retina of the eye. The camera fires several pre-flashes before the main flash burst to contract the pupils of the subject's eyes.

#

• Rear flash sync - used with long exposures to make trailing lights or blurring appear to follow rather than proceed the subject. The effect is not apparent if the shutter speed is too fast and stops the subject's motion.

When the shutter is released, a pre-flash fires. This pre-flash is not for exposure, but for metering. The flash fires again just before the shutter closes.

WL

Wireless / Remote flash - allows the camera to control an off-camera flash unit without the need of a cable. See page 76.

Wireless / remote flash

On-camera flash

Wireless/ Remote flash

Wireless/Remote flash allows the camera to control an off-camera Program 5600HS (D) and 3600HS (D) flash unit without the need of a cable. Single or multiple flash units can be placed around the subject to create different lighting effects.

The camera's built-in flash fires to control the off-camera flash units rather than to illuminate the subject.

1. Remove the accessory shoe cap (p. 112) and slide a Program 5600HS (D) or 3600HS (D) flash on the accessory shoe until the safety lock engages.
2. Turn on the camera and flash unit.
3. Set the camera to the wireless flash mode in section 2 of the recording menu (p. 70). This simultaneously set a the flash to the wireless mode and sets the camera to the flash's wireless channel.
4. Press and hold the mounting-foot-release button on the flash unit to disengage the safety catch and remove the flash unit from the camera.

Raise the built-in flash on the camera and position the camera and flash around the subject. See the following page for operating ranges.

Make sure no objects come between the camera and flash unit. The flash units can be test fired by pressing the AEL button on the camera. AEL button setup in section 1 of the custom menu should be set to one of the hold options. If the flash does not fire, change the camera, flash, or subject position. The slow shutter sync is active in auto recording, P, A, and digital subject program exposure modes (p. 47).

When the 5600HS (D) and 3600HS (D) flash is charged, the AF illuminator on the front of the unit blinks. The viewfinder flash signal shows the status of the camera flash (p. 31). Take a picture as described in the basic recording section on page 28.

Wireless/Remote flash performs best under subdued light or interior lighting. Under bright light sources, the flash may not be able to detect the control signals from the camera's built-in flash.

When not using off-camera flash units, always turn off the wireless flash mode in section 2 of the recording menu, or inaccurate flash exposures will result. The 5600HS (D) and 3600HS (D) flash units can be reset simultaneously with the camera. Simply mount the flash unit in the accessory shoe and change the wireless flash mode setting on the menu to another flash mode.

High-speed sync. is available, see page 112. The Wireless/Remote Flash Controller is not compatible with this camera.

FLASH CONTROL

ADI and pre-flash TTL flash control are available. Flash control is changed in section 2 of the recording menu (p. 70). The flash control used depends on the lens and flash combination.

ADI (Advanced Distance Integration) flash metering - combines distance information from D-series lenses with information from a pre-flash exposure. ADI metering is less influenced by subject reflectance.

1	2
Flash mode	Fill-flash

		MENUS

The camera automatically switches from ADI metering to pre-flash

TTL when the autofocus system is prevented from focusing. When using the Macro Twin Flash 2400, Marco Ring flash 1200 or a wireless or off-camera flash unit, flash control is set to pre-flash TTL.

When using the Program Flash 2500 (D), switch both the flash unit and camera to ADI metering.

Pre-flash TTL - calculates flash exposure with a pre-flash only. This mode must be used with close-up filters or filters that reduce the amount of light entering the camera such as neutral density filters. Pre-flash TTL must be used when a diffuser is attached to the built-in flash, the wide-angle adapter with the Program flash 3600HS (D), bounce flash with the Program Flash 2500 (D), or an external flash unit.

BRACKETING ORDER

The order in which exposure bracketing frames is captured is selected in section 2 of the recording menu (p. 70). For information on exposure bracketing, see page 52.

ABOUT DIMAGE MASTER

The full version of DiIMAGE Master gives you all the tools to organize, examine, and process your images. The Organizer window allows you to sort images quickly into four user-defined classifications. Outtakes can easily be hidden from view without the need to delete or remove them from the folder.

Is it difficult to decide which image is the best? The Examiner window allows you to compare up to four images for differences between color, exposure, white balance, and focus by sampling areas in each image.

The Photofinisher window has many features to process large numbers of images quickly. Jobs can be created for specific adjustments and applied to other images as well as used for batch processing. Processing can be simply cut and pasted from one picture to another.

A luminance limit can be specified on the histogram and displayed on an image to show the pixels which are approaching the black and white levels. The focus checker enlarges the image so sharpness can be determined. These tools are available in the Organizer, Examiner, and Photofinisher.

For more on the other features in DiIMAGE Master, visit us on the web.

ABOUT DPOF

This camera is supported by DPOF™ version 1.1. The DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) allows direct printing of still images from digital cameras. After the DPOF file is created, the memory card is simply taken to a photofinishing service or inserted into the memory -card slot of DPOF compatible printers.

When a DPOF file is created, a misc. folder is automatically made on the memory card to store it (p. 120). DPOF print files cannot be made for RAW and embedded Adobe RGB images. Images using an Adobe RGB color mode may not be reproduced accurately (p. 61).

Images selected for printing are indicated in the playback displays. The number of copies is displayed next to the indicator.

Print indicator

DPOF SETUP

The DPOF-set option is used to set an order for standard prints from digital images. Single, multiple, or all images on the memory card or in a folder specified with the view-folder option can be printed (p. 85).

FILE NUMBER (#) MEMORY

When file number memory is selected, if a new folder is created, the first file stored in the folder will have a number one greater than the last file saved. This allows multiple folders to be created, but the image file numbers will be in the order in which they were shot. If the file number memory is disabled, the image file name will have a number one greater than the last image saved in the folder.

If file number memory is active and the memory card is changed, the first file saved to the new card will have a number one greater than the last file saved on the previous card if the new card does not contain an image with a greater file number. If it does, the file number of the new image will be one greater than the greatest on the card.

FOLDER NAME

All recorded images are stored in folders on the memory card. Folder names come in two formats: standard and date.

Standard folders have an eight character name. The initial folder is named 100KM028. The first three digits are the folder's serial number, which increases by one each time a new folder is created. The next two letters refer to Konica Minolta, and the last three numbers indicate the camera used; 028 indicates a Dynax 5D.

A date folder name also starts with the three digit serial number and is followed by one register for the year, two register for the month, and two registers for the day: 100YMMDD. The folder 10150801 was created in 2005 on August 1st.

With the date folder format selected, when an image is recorded a new folder with the day's date is created. All images recorded that day are placed in that folder. Images recorded on a different day are placed in a new folder with the corresponding date. When a new folder is created, the serial number in the image-file name is reset to 0001 unless file number memory is active. For more information on folder organization and file names, see page 120.

SELECT FOLDER

This option specifies in which folder images are saved. Only folders with a standard folder name can be selected. If the date folder name option is used, images are placed in a folder with the corresponding date of recording. Select folder is in section 2 of the setup menu (p. 98).

100KM028

Highlight "Enter" and press the center of the controller to create a new folder.

The new folder name is displayed briefly. Every time a new folder is created, the folder number increases automatically by one greater than the highest folder number on the memory card.

LCD BACKLIGHT

The LCD monitor backlight turns off to conserve power after a certain period. Press a camera button to restore the display. This period can be set to 5, 10, 30, or 60 seconds in section 3 of the setup menu (p, 98).

AUTO POWER SAVE

The camera shuts down to conserve battery power if no operation is made within a certain period. The length of this period can be changed to 1, 3, 5, 10, or 30 minutes. To restore power, press the shutter-release button partway down. When the camera is connected to the computer, the autopower-saving period is set to ten minutes. This period cannot be changed.

MENU SECTION MEMORY

The camera can remember which menu section was last opened. If the menu section memory function is on, when the menu button is pressed, the last menu section that was last displayed is opened. When menu section memory is off, section 1 of the recording or playback menu is displayed when the menu button is pressed.

DELETE CONFIRMATION

Each time a delete command is used a confirmation screen appears confirming the action to erase the image data. When this screen opens, the no button is highlighted. This function allows the yes button to be initially highlighted to make deleting images easier. Care should be taken when deleting images as the data cannot be retrieved once erased.

CLEAN CCD

Only clean the CCD when necessary. Improper cleaning may damage the CCD.

Dust can enter the camera body when changing lenses. The camera should have a lens or body cap mounted at all times. Confirm the rear of the lens and cap is free from dust before mounting on the body.

Clean the CCD in a dust-free environment. Use a blower brush to remove the dust - compressed air can damage the camera.

Accessory Notes

The optional DiIMAGE Master software can remove the affects of dust from RAW images. This is done by taking a dust reference image before cleaning the CCD. For more on the full version of DiIMAGE Master, see page 81 or visit us on the web.

ACCESSORY NOTES

This section contains operation and compatibility information with camera accessories. Please read it in its entirety to achieve the best results with your camera.

LENS COMPATIBILITY

All Konica Minolta AF lenses are compatible with this camera. MD and MC series lenses cannot be used. For our current line of lenses, contact your Konica Minolta dealer.

The AF Macro Zoom 3X - 1X f/1.7-2.8 cannot be used with Anti-Shake (p. 32); turn Anti-Shake off. If a lens is equipped with a macro release, the release cannot be used with Anti-Shake. Focus range limiters set to a range that does not include infinity cannot be used. The focus range limiter on the SSM-series or D-series macro lenses can be used at any set range. Anti-Shake may not work with products made by another manufacturer.

LENS SHADOWING

Lens shadowing occurs when the lens or lens hood blocks part of the output from the built-in flash. Lens shadowing appears as a semi-circular shadow at the bottom (horizontal pictures) or side (vertical pictures) of the image. Remove the lens hood before using the built-in flash. Focus distance must be 1m / 3.3ft or greater. The built-in flash can not be used with the AF 600mm f/4 Apo G(HS).

FOCAL-LENGTH CONVERSION

Because the CCD is smaller than a 35mm frame, the angle of view obtained at a specific focal length is not the same. To calculate the approximate equivalent 35mm focal length, multiply the focal length in use by 1.5. A 100mm lens gives about the same angle of view as a 150mm lens on a 35mm camera.

CCD-PLANE

For some technical photographic applications such as macro photography, the position of the CCD plane is necessary. The illustration shows the approximate location of the CCD plane.

ATTACHING THE EYEPIPCE CAP

The supplied eyepiece cap prevents light from entering through the viewfinder and affecting the exposure meter or fogging the image when using the self-timer or during long exposures.

Carefully slide the eyepiece cup from around the viewfinder frame by pushing on each side of the cup.

Slide the eyepiece cap over the viewfinder. The cap should be attached to the camera strap to prevent loss. Replace the eyepiece cup after the exposure.

OPTIONAL VIEWFINDER ACCESSORIES

The Angle Finder VN and Magnifier VN can be used with this camera. The Angle Finder makes using the camera at low angles easier. The Magnifier enlarges the center of the viewfinder image for critical focusing especially for macro photography. These accessories are mounted on the viewfinder frame as described above. For more information on these and other accessories, contact your Konica Minolta dealer.

ATTACHING A REMOTE CORD

The optional remote cords (RC-1000S or RC-1000L) can be used to reduce vibrations from touching the camera during long exposures. Open the remote-control terminal cover from the right. The cover is attached to the body to prevent loss; take care not the sever the connector. Insert the plug of the remote cord into the terminal (1).

The cord can be attached to the camera strap. Open the remote-cord clip on the strap and push the cord into the grove. Close the clip until it clicks into place (2).

ATTACHING AN ACCESSORY FLASH UNIT

To extend the versatility of the camera, an accessory flash unit (sold separately) can be used. Always remove the accessory flash when the camera is not in use, and replace the accessory-shoe cap to protect the contacts.

Slide the accessory-shoe cap off as shown. Mount the flash unit on the accessory shoe by sliding it forward until it stops.

FLASH COMPATIBILITY

The following flash units are compatible with this camera:

Program Flash 2500 (D)

Program Flash 3600HS (D)

Program Flash 5600HS (D)

Macro Ring Flash 1200 with Macro Flash Controller

Macro Twin Flash 2400 with Macro Flash Controller

HIGH-SPEED SYNC. (HSS)

This camera is compatible with the High Speed Sync. (HSS) function in the Program Flash 5600HS (D) and 3600HS (D). This allows the camera to use its full range of shutter speeds up to 1/4000 second. HSS cannot be used with the 2-second self-timer drive mode nor the rear sync. flash mode.

Attach a compatible flash unit to the camera. Set the flash unit to HSS. When the shutter speed exceeds the camera sync. speed, the High Speed Sync. indicator (H) is displayed on the monitor and in the viewfinder.

High Speed Sync. indicator

PC FLASH ADAPTER PCT-100

The PC Flash Adapter PCT-100 allows a studio or location flash system to be connected to the camera with a standard PC cord. The adapter is compatible with both center positive (normal polarity) and center negative (positive polarity) flash units with a voltage of 400V or lower. The software upgrade included with the PCT-100 should not be used.

To ensure correct exposures, use the manual exposure mode. Set the shutter speed equal to or slower than the flash duration; refer to the flash unit's instruction manual. The camera's flash-compensation function has no affect on the flash exposure. To make an exposure bracket, press and hold the AEL button during the bracketing series to control the exposure with the aperture rather than the shutter speed.

The use of custom white balance is recommended. When calibrating the camera, use the shutter speed and aperture settings require for the final exposure. A gray card may have to be used as the reference target with powerful flash units to reduce the intensity of the illumination. If custom white balance is not practical, use the preset daylight or flash setting or set the color temperature to the flash unit's color temperature if known; auto white balance is not recommended.

Konica Minolta History

On February 20th, 1962, John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth. On board his Friendship 7 spacecraft was a Minolta Hi-matic camera to record that historic event. The 4 hour, 55 minute, and 23 second flight orbited the Earth three times at an average speed of

28,000 kph (17,500 mph).

Mr. Glenn visited our Sakai camera factory in Japan on May 24th, 1963 to plant a palm tree to celebrate the occasion. The palm tree is still in the courtyard of the factory and stands over eight meters tall (26ft).

The camera? It was not lost. It is on display at the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C. This and other objects from John Glenn's Friendship 7 Mercury flight can be found in galley 210, "Apollo to the Moon."

MEMORY CARD FOLDER ORGANIZATION

Once the camera is connected to the computer, image files can be accessed by double clicking on icons. Image folders are located in the DCIM folder. To copy images, simply drag and drop the file icon into a location in the computer.

Drive Icon

Dcim

Misc

The misc. folder contains DPOF print files (p. 88).

Files and folders on the memory card can be deleted using the computer. Changing file names or adding other types of data to the card with a computer may cause the camera to malfunction.

PICT0003.JPE

PICT0003. THM

Extra fine, fine, or standard embedded Adobe RGB image

ICT0004.JPG

Extra fine, fine, or standard Adobe RGB image

Image file names begin with "PICT" followed by a four-digit file number and a mrw, jpg, jpe, or thm extension. The thumbnail images (thm) are used in camera and DiIMAGE Master Lite operation. If a RAW or JPEG image uses the Adobe RGB color mode without an embedded profile, the file name begins with "_.ICT."

When a new folder is created, the first three digits in the folder name is one greater than the largest folder number on the card. When the file number in the image file name exceeds 9,999, a new folder is created with a number one greater than the greatest folder number on the memory card: e.g. from 100KM028 to 101KM028.

The file number on the image file may not correspond to its frame number on the camera. As images are deleted in the camera, the frame counter adjust itself to show the number of images on the card and reassign the frame numbers accordingly. The file numbers on the image files do not change when an image is deleted. When a new image is recorded, it is assigned a number one greater than the largest file number in the folder. File numbers can be controlled with the file-number-memory function in section 2 of the setup menu (p. 103).

Camera Notes

Image files contain exif tag data. This data includes the time and date the image was recorded as well as the camera settings used. This data can be viewed with the camera or the DiIMAGE Master and DiIMAGE Master Lite software.

If a camera image is opened in an image-processing application that does not support Exif tags, and then the image is saved overwriting the original data, the Exif tag information is erased. Some Exif compatible applications rewrite the Exif data preventing DiIMAGE Master Lite from reading it. When using software other than DiIMAGE Master or DiIMAGE Master Lite, always rename the image file to protect the exif tag data.

To view images correctly on your computer, the monitor's color space may need to be adjusted. Refer to your computer manual on how to calibrate the display to the following requirements: sRGB, with a color temperature of 6500K, and a gamma of 2.2.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The section covers minor problems with basic camera operation. For major problems or damage to the camera or charger, or if a problem continues to reoccur frequently, contact a Konica Minolta service facility.

Problem	Symptom	Cause	Solution
The camera will not work.	Nothing displayed on monitor.	The battery is dead.	Recharge battery (p. 20).
		The AC adapter is not connect- ed properly.	Check that the adapter is connected to the camera and a live electrical outlet (p. 22).
		Display mode set to off.	Change the display mode to full or basic (p. 33).
	Camera overheat- ing message is displayed before shutting down.	The camera is hot or it has been left in a very hot environment.	Turn off the camera and allow it to cool.
Shutter will not release.	"0000" is dis- played on the frame counter.	Memory card is full and unable to store an image at the image- quality or image-size setting on the camera.	Insert a new memory card (p. 24), delete some images (p. 36), or change the image-quality or image-size setting (p. 70).
	"----" is displayed on the frame counter.	No memory card in the camera.	Insert a memory card (p. 24).

Problem	Symptom	Cause	Solution
Pictures are not sharp.	Focus signal is blinking.	Subject is too close.	Make sure the subject is within the focus range of the lens.
		A special situation is preventing the autofocus system from focusing (p. 29)	Use the focus-lock function to focus on an object at the same distance as the subject (p. 30) or use manual focus (p. 49).
	Pictures are taken indoors or in low-light situations without flash.	Slow shutter speeds result in blurred images when the camera is hand-held.	Use Anti-shake or a tripod, change the camera sensitivity to a higher setting (p. 54), or use the flash (p. 31).
While using flash, the pictures are too dark.	The subject is beyond the flash range (p. 55).		Move closer to the subject or change the camera sensitivity to a higher setting (p. 54).
A shadow appears on the bottom of the image.	Lens hood mounted when using flash.	The lens hood blocks the light from the built-in flash.	Always remove the lens hood when using the built-in flash. Also see the lens shadowing section on page 110.
Inaccurate exposures with very bright or dark scenes.	Shutter speed and/or aperture display blink.	Subject or scene is outside the exposure control range of the camera.	Adjust the exposure until the display stops blinking or change camera sensitivity (p. 54).
	Arrows blink at each end of the Ev scale.	Subject or scene is outside the metering range of the camera.	In dark conditions, use the camera flash. Under bright light, use a neutral density filter on the lens to control the light levels.
Anti-Shake does not work.	The viewfinder Anti-Shake scale is blinking.	CCD setup error.	Turn the camera off and on. If the Anti-Shake scale continues to blink, contact a Konica Minolta service facility.
Unable to see recorded images in playback.	Folder number not displayed.	Folder is not selected with the view folder option in section 1 of the playback menu.	Select the folder with the menu (p. 82).
Unable to delete folders with the file browser (p. 87).		Memory card was opened on a Windows operating system.	Delete the folder using the computer.

If the camera does not function normally, turn it off, remove and reinsert the battery, or unplug and reconnect the AC adapter. Always turn the camera off using the main switch otherwise the memory card may be damaged and camera settings reset.

CARE AND STORAGE

Read this section in its entirety to get the best results from your camera. With proper care, your camera will provide years of service.

CAMERA CARE

• Do not subject the camera to shock or impact.
• Turn off the camera when transporting.
• This camera is neither waterproof nor splashproof. Inserting or removing batteries or the memory card, or operating the camera with wet hands may damage the camera.
• When at the beach or near water, take care not to expose the camera to water or sand. Water, sand, dust, or salt can damage the camera.
• Do not leave the camera under direct sunlight. Do not point the lens directly at the sun; the CCD may be damaged.
• Keep the camera away from electromagnetic fields from devices such as magnets or motors.

CLEANING

• If the camera or the outside of the lens is dirty, gently wipe it with a soft, clean, dry cloth. If the camera or lens comes in contact with sand, gently blow away loose particles. Wiping may scratch the surface.
• To clean the lens surface, first blow away any dust or sand, then gently wipe the lens with a cloth or tissue designed for optics. Use lens-cleaning fluid if necessary.
• Never use organic solvents to clean the camera.
• Never touch the lens surface with your fingers.

STORAGE

• Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from dust and chemicals. For long periods of disuse, store the camera in an airtight container with a silica-gel drying agent.
• Remove the batteries and memory card from the camera when not in use for extended periods.
• Do not store the camera in an area with naphthalene or mothballs.
• During long periods of storage, operate the camera occasionally. When taking the camera out of storage, check that the camera is functioning properly before using.

OPERATING TEMPERATURES AND CONDITIONS

• This camera has been designed for use in temperatures from 0^ to 40^ ( 32^ to 104^ ).
• Never leave the camera exposed to extreme high temperatures, such as in a car parked in the sun, or to extreme humidity.
• When taking the camera from a cold to a warm environment, place it in a sealed plastic bag to prevent condensation from forming. Allow the camera to come to room temperature before removing it from the bag.

MEMORY CARD CARE AND HANDLING

Memory Cards are manufactured with precision electronic components. Konica Minolta has no responsibility for any loss or damage to data. It is recommended that a copy of the card data be made. The following may cause data loss or damage:

• Improper use of the card.
• Bending, dropping, or subjecting the card to impact.
• Heat, moisture, and direct sunlight.
• Static electrical discharge or electromagnetic fields near the card.
• Removing the card or interrupting the power supply while the camera or a computer is accessing the card (reading, writing, formatting, etc.).
• Touching the electrical contacts of the card with your fingers or metal objects.
• Using the card beyond its life. Purchasing a new card periodically may be necessary.
• When using a Microdrive, do not subject the camera to vibrations.

BATTERIES

• Battery performance decreases with temperature. In cold environments, we recommend keeping spare batteries in a warm place, such as the inside of a coat. Batteries can recover their power when they warm up.
• Do not store the battery when it is fully charged.
• When storing the battery for extended periods, recharge it for five minutes every six months. The battery may not be able to be charged if completely exhausted.
• A special built-in battery supplies power to the clock and memory when the camera is exhausted or removed. If the camera resets each time the battery is removed, the battery is exhausted. It must be replaced at a Konica Minolta service facility.
• After initially inserting the battery, do not remove it for twelve hours; the camera can be off during this period. The main battery is used to charge an internal battery, which protects settings when the main battery is removed.
• Keep battery and camera charger contacts clean. Dirty contacts can prevent charging. If the contacts become dirty, wipe them with a cotton swab.

LCD MONITOR CARE

• The LCD monitor is manufactured using high-precision technology and more than 99.99% of the pixels operate properly. Less than 0.01% of the monitor pixels are displayed as color or bright points; this is not monitor defect and does not affect the recorded image.
• Do not apply pressure to the surface of the LCD monitor; it may be permanently damaged.
• In a cold environment, the LCD monitor may become temporarily dark. When the camera warms up, the display will function normally.
• If fingerprints are on the LCD monitor surface, gently wipe with a soft, clean, dry cloth.

COPYRIGHT

• TV program, films, video tapes, photographs, and other materials may be copyrighted. Unauthorized recording or duplication of such material may be contrary to copyright laws. Taking pictures or images of performances, exhibitions, etc. is prohibited without approval and can infringe on copyright. Images protected by copyright can only be used under the provisions within the copyright laws.

BEFORE IMPORTANT EVENTS OR JOURNEYS

• Check the camera's operation; take test pictures and purchase spare batteries.
• Konica Minolta has no responsibility for any damage or loss incurred by equipment malfunction.

QUESTIONS AND SERVICE

• If you have questions about your camera or charger, contact your local camera dealer or write to the Konica Minolta distributor in your area.
• Before shipping your camera or charger for repair, please contact a Kona Minolta service facility.
