Operation Manual

• This camera is not waterproof or dustproof or sand-proof. If you use this
camera near water or at the beach, water-, dust-, or sand-damage may
occur. Protect it from moisture or splashes, especially saltwater spray, and
be extremely careful to keep sand from both the interior and exterior of
the camera and its accessories. If it comes in contact with water, wipe it
with a clean, dry cloth and bring it to an authorized Minolta Service facility.
If it comes in contact with sand or if sand enters the camera, gently blow
away loose particles-wiping may scratch the camera-and bring it to an
authorized Minolta Service facility.
• This camera is not water proof. If it comes in contact with water, wipe it
with a dry cloth and bring it to an authorized Minolta Service facility.
• If the camera is subjected to a sudden change in temperature, as when
transferring it from a cold environment into a heated building,
condensation may form inside. To prevent condensation, place the camera
in a sealed plastic bag before transferring it from a cold place to a warm
environment, and wait for it to come to room temperature before taking it
out of the bag.
• After prolonged storage, and especially before taking pictures at an
important event, carefully check the operation of the camera and lens.
• The operating range for camera's data panel is from - 20 to 50°C (- 4 to
122°F). At temperatures outside this range, response time and contrast will
change, making the display difficult to read. At very high temperatures, a
display may temporarily darken. If this occurs, the display should return
when the camera is restored to operating range conditions.
• This camera contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to
disassemble or repair the camera yourself.
• This camera's circuitry may switch off, even when a battery with
sufficient power is installed. To resume operation, remove the battery and
install it again.
