About the LCD monitor  
Due to the characteristics of liquid crystals, the brightness of the LCD monitor may appear  
uneven with changes in temperature, etc.  
The LCD monitor has been developed using high-precision engineering and is superior in  
sharpness and picture quality. Due to the nature of liquid crystals, however, there may be  
missing or constantly lit pixels on the monitor. This is not a malfunction of the unit.  
If the LCD monitor becomes damaged for some reason, take care to prevent personal  
injury from broken glass, etc. Furthermore, take care that liquid crystals do not touch the  
skin or enter the eyes or mouth.  
About the SD Memory Card/Multi-Media Card  
As well as the SD Memory Card included with this camera, Multi-Media Cards may also be  
used.  
Caution  
SD Memory Cards and Multi-Media Cards are manufactured using precision electronic com-  
ponents. Do not perform the following as malfunction or damage may occur as a result.  
Do not touch the terminal with hands or metal objects. Damage to the components may  
occur as a result of static electricity. Before handling an SD Memory Card or Multi-Media  
Card, discharge any static build-up from your body by touching grounded metal, etc.  
Do not bend, drop or apply excessive force.  
Avoid heat, liquid and direct sunlight when using and for storage.  
Do not open the battery/card cover or remove the SD Memory Card/Multi-Media Card  
while data is being read or written.  
Do not dismantle or modify.

Important  
When using Multi-Media Cards, the operation response time may be longer during shoot-  
ing and playback when compared with the SD Memory Cards. However, this is due to the  
specification of the Multi-Media Card and is not a malfunction.  
The SD Memory Card includes a write-protect switch.  
write-protect switch  
Sliding this switch downward prevents data from be-  
ing written to the card and images, etc. saved on the  
card are protected.  
Please note that pictures cannot be taken or deleted  
when the write-protect switch is on.  
If such an operation is attempted, you will be notified  
by an LED lighting in the viewfinder and a buzzer sound-  
ing. (See page 22.)  
When using a large-capacity card, card check and deletion may take some time.  
Always back-up important data.  
When using SD Memory Cards/Multi-Media Cards on a PC, do not change the attributes  
(read-only, etc.) of the files (image data) on the card. Doing so may prevent the camera  
from working properly when deleting images, etc.  
Do not change the file names or the directory name of image data saved on an SD Memory  
Card/Multi-Media Card using a PC or save files other than image data taken by this cam-  
era. Images that have been changed or added will not only play back on the camera but  
may cause the camera to malfunction as well.  
Always format SD Memory Cards/Multi-Media Cards using this camera. A card formatted  
in a PC may not operate properly.  
Data loss may occur at times due to malfunction or damage. However, Konica will not be  
responsible in any way in the event of such data loss.

Chapter 8 Appendix  
When Carrying the Camera Overseas  
Using the AC adapter (optional: DR-AC2)  
Do not use the AC adapter with voltages other than the displayed power-supply voltage  
(100V AC – 240V AC).  
For countries with a different power plug shape, check with a travel agency, etc., and  
prepare a conversion adapter suitable for the power plug of the destination country in  
advance.  
Caring and storage  
Cleaning the camera  
When cleaning the camera, do not use solvents such as benzene or paint thinner.  
Before cleaning, remove the batteries from the camera, or disconnect the power plug of  
the AC adapter from the wall outlet.  
The exterior casing surface consists of paint and printing. Wiping the casing with benzene  
or paint thinner may cause discoloration, or the paint or printing to be removed.  
When the camera becomes dirty, wipe off the dust with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt,  
dampen a cloth in diluted neutral detergent (kitchen detergent), wring thoroughly and wipe.  
When finished, wipe the camera with a dry cloth.

When using a chemical cloth, follow the safety precautions of the product.

After using the camera  
If the camera is not to be used for a long period, remove the batteries and ensure that the  
power plug of the AC adapter is disconnected from the wall outlet.  
Leaving the batteries inside the camera for a long time may cause the battery fluid to leak,  
resulting in malfunction of the unit.  
When storing, keep both camera and batteries in cool place with low humidity and under  
constant temperature as much as possible.  
Recommended temperature: 15ºC 25ºC  
Recommended humidity: 40% 60%  
About the SD Memory Card/Multi-Media Card  
Handling  
Do not bend or apply excessive force.  
Do not store the card in places with high humidity, dusty places or where static electricity  
or electromagnetic fields are likely to occur.  
Keep dust, water and foreign objects away from the terminal section.  
About image data  
Use a PC to delete images and files recorded with other models.  
The recorded data may be lost when you or a third part misuses the SD Memory Card/  
Multi-Media Card, if the card is affected by strong static electricity or electrical shock, or  
during card repair or malfunction.  
Konica will not be responsible in any way for the loss of recorded data or the conse-  
quences of such loss.  
About the LCD monitor  
The LCD monitor has been developed using high-precision engineering. Although the per-  
centage of active pixels is more than 99.98%, there may be missing or constantly lit pixels.  
When using the LCD monitor in a cold location, the screen may appear darker than normal  
immediately after starting use. The screen will return to normal brightness as the internal  
temperature of the camera rises.  
When the LCD monitor becomes dirty with finger prints or dust, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
