OPERATING CONDITIONS
OPERATING TEMPERATURE AND CONDITIONS
•This camera is designed for use from -10° to 40° C (14° to 104° F).
•Never leave your camera where it may be subjected to extreme temperatures, such as the
glove compartment of a car.
•At colder temperatures, the data panel response time will be slow; at higher temperatures,
the display will temporarily darken, but will restore when the temperature normalizes.
•Never subject the camera to extreme humidity.
•To prevent condensation from forming, place the camera in a sealed plastic bag when
bringing it from the cold exterior into a warm building. Allow it to come to room temperature
before removing it from the bag.
•When photographing in cold weather, we recommend that you keep the camera and spare
batteries inside your coat to keep them warm when you are not shooting. Cold batteries
will regain some of their charge when they warm up.
FILM CASSETTE WARNING
The film used in Advanced Photo System cameras stores some data magnetically. Do not
place the cassette on or near anything that creates a magnetic field, such as a television or
stereo speakers.
CAMERA ERROR
If all the indicators in the data panel blink, or the data panel is blank and the camera will not
function with fresh batteries, remove and reinsert the batteries. If normal operation does not
resume or the camera malfunctions repeatedly, contact an authorized Minolta Service
Facility.
