Camera care
• Do not subject the camera to shock or impact.
• Turn off the camera when transporting.
• This camera is neither waterproof nor splashproof. Inserting or removing the battery or memory
card, or operating the camera with wet hands may damage the camera.
• When at the beach or near water, take care not to expose the camera to water or sand. Water,
sand, dust, or salt can damage the camera.
• Do not leave the camera under direct sunlight. Do not point the lens directly at the sun; the CCD
may be damaged.
• When taking the camera from a cold to a warm environment, place it in a sealed plastic bag to pre-
vent condensation from forming. Allow the camera to come to room temperature before removing it
from the bag.
Memory cards
SD Memory Cards and MultiMediaCards are manufactured with precision electronic components.
The following may cause data loss or damage:
• Improper use of the card.
• Bending, dropping, or subjecting the card to impact.
• Heat, moisture, and direct sunlight.
• Static electrical discharge or electromagnetic fields near the card.
• Removing the card or interrupting the power supply while the camera or a computer is accessing
the card (reading, writing, formatting, etc.).
• Touching the electrical contacts of the card with your fingers or metal objects.
• The disuse of a card for an extended period.
• Using the card beyond its life. Purchasing a new card periodically may be necessary.
The storage capability of the memory card will diminish with extended use. Minolta has no responsi-
bility for any loss or damage to data. It is recommended that a copy of the card data be made.
