ASIC OPERATION
EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLIES
The AC Adapter 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. AC Adapter model AC-1L is for use in North America,
Japan, and Taiwan, and AC-2L is for use in all other areas.
The External High-power Battery Pack Kit EBP-100 is a portable source of power for
the camera. The kit contains a high-power lithium-ion battery, holder, and charger. The
battery, holder, and charger are also available separately. This battery pack will
significantly extend the operating time of the camera.
Always turn off the camera before changing between power supplies.
Remove 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 or battery
pack into the DC terminal.
Insert the AC adapter plug into an electrical outlet.

CHANGING THE COMPACTFLASH CARD

A CompactFlash card must be inserted for the camera to operate. If a card has not
been inserted, a no-card warning will automatically be displayed on the monitors. IBM
Microdrives are compatible with this camera. For recording media care and storage,
see page 157.

(SOLD SEPARATELY) Always turn off the camera and confirm the access lamp is not lit before inserting or

Open the card-slot door in the direction indicated (1).
To eject a CompactFlash card, lift (2) then press (3) the card-eject lever. The card can
now be pulled out.
• Take care when removing the card as it becomes hot with use.
Insert the CompactFlash card into the card slot until the card-eject lever pops out (4).
• 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 orientated correctly.
Fold the card-eject lever down as shown (5) and close the card-slot door.
If the card-not-recognized message appears, the inserted card in the camera may need
to be formatted. A CompactFlash card used in another camera may have to be format-
ted before being used. If the unable-to-use-card message appears, the card is not
compatible with the camera and should not be formatted. A card can be formatted in
the basic section of the playback menu (p. 110). When a card is formatted, all the data
on the card is permanently erased. If the card-error message appears, press the cen-
tral button of the controller to close the window; check the Minolta web site for the lat-
est compatibility information: North America: http://www.minoltausa.com, Europe:
