ARE AND STORAGE
LCD MONITOR CARE
• Although the LCD monitor is manufactured using high precision technology, there
may occasionally be a lack of color or bright points on the LCD monitor.
• 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.
• The LCD monitor may be slow to react in low temperatures or may turn dark in a hot
environment. When the camera reaches normal operating temperature, the display
will function normally.
• If fingerprints are on the LCD monitor surface, gently wipe with a soft, clean, dry
cloth
.
BEFORE IMPORTANT EVENTS OR JOURNEYS
• Check the camera’s operation; take test pictures and purchase spare batteries.
• Minolta has no responsibility for any damage or loss incurred by equipment
malfunction.
COPYRIGHT

QUESTIONS AND SERVICE
• If you have questions about your camera or charger, contact your local camera dealer
or write to the Minolta distributor in your area.
• Before shipping your camera or charger for repair, please contact a Minolta Service
Facility.
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. As the performance of Ni-MH
batteries are less affected by temperature, their use is recommended when shooting
in cold environments.
•Remove the batteries when the camera is not in use for an extended period. Leaking
battery fluid may damage the battery-chamber.
• Occasionally, when using alkaline batteries, the battery-condition indicator will give a
false low-battery-power warning, even though there is enough power capacity.
Continue to use the camera; the low-battery indicator will disappear.
• If batteries have been exhausted when used in the camera, do not reload them even
if their charge seems to recover over time. These batteries will interfere with normal
camera operation.
• A special built-in battery supplies power to the camera clock. If the clock resets when
the camera is on, the battery is exhausted. The battery must be replaced at a Minolta
service facility. The battery life is approximately five years.
ABOUT NI-MH BATTERIES
• When using Ni-MH batteries, clean both battery terminals with dry cloth to wipe off
any dirt or residue. Because of the sophisticated computer system, the camera
critically monitors power levels. If the battery terminals are dirty, the camera may give
a false low-battery warning. If battery performance is unusually low, wipe the battery
terminals with a clean, dry cloth.
• Ni-MH battery performance will decrease if the batteries are often recharged before
they have been fully discharged. Completely exhaust the Ni-MH batteries using the
camera before charging.
• Recharge the batteries in a battery set simultaneously. It is recommended that the
batteries used with the camera are not used with any other device. Always follow the
directions and safety instructions in the charger manual.
• When initially using new Ni-MH batteries or Ni-MH batteries that have been stored for
a long period, battery performance is not optimal. The performance increases with
use; repeat the cycle of fully charging the batteries and then completely discharging
them by using the camera several times to increase performance.
