Memory Cards; Before Important Events And Journeys - Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z1 Instruction Manual

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.
• Using the card beyond its life. Purchasing a new card periodically may be necessary.
The response time is longer with MultiMediaCards compared with SD Memory Cards.
This is not a defect, but rather due to the specifications of the cards. When using large
capacity cards, some operations like deletion may take longer.
SD Memory Cards have a write-protect switch to prevent image
data from being deleted. By sliding the switch to the bottom of the
card, the data will be protected. Images cannot be recorded
when the card is protected. If an attempt is made to record or
delete an image with the camera, the card-locked message will
appear on the monitor.
Memory cards should not be used to permanently store image
data. Always make a copy of camera files on an appropriate
storage device or recording media. Minolta has no responsibility
for any loss or damage to data.

Before important events and journeys

• Check the camera's operation; take test pictures and purchase spare batteries.
• Minolta has no responsibility for any damage or loss incurred by equipment
malfunction.
