If the camera does not function normally, turn it off, remove and reinsert the battery, or
unplug and reconnect the AC adapter. Always turn the camera off using the main switch
otherwise the memory card may be damaged and camera settings reset.
The camera temperature rises with extended periods of use. Care should be taken to
avoid burns when handling the camera, batteries, or memory card.

WHEN USING FILTERS

Polarizing filters and close-up lenses may cause vignetting at the wide-angle range of the
lens (below the 50mm mark on the zooming ring). With very powerful close-up lenses,
such as a +3 or Minolta No. 2, vignetting may be noticeable below 100mm. Most step-up
rings will cause vignetting. The Minolta Step-up Adapter 49mm to 62mm can be used.

ROUBLESHOOTING
Cause
Shutter speed and
aperture combination is
extremely under or over-
exposing the live image.
With still images, automatic monitor amplification activates
under low-light conditions (p. 34). Although the live image is
black and white, the recorded still image will be color. In
movie recording, the Night Movie mode will record black
and white images.
Subject or scene is out-
side the metering range
of the camera.
Solution
Change the shutter speed or
aperture value until an image
appears on the monitor (p. 56).
Change the camera sensitivity
(p. 74) or the light levels.
