Read this section carefully before connecting the camera to a computer. This manual does not
cover the basic operation of computers or their operating systems; please refer to the manual sup-
plied with your computer.

System requirements

For the camera to be connected directly to the computer and used as a mass-storage device, the
computer must be equipped with a USB port as a standard interface. Both the computer and the
operating system must be guaranteed by their manufacturers to support USB interface. The follow-
ing operating systems are compatible with the camera:
Windows 98, 98SE, Me, 2000 Professional, and XP home and professional editions
Mac OS 9.0~9.2.2 and Mac OS X 10.1.3~10.1.5, 10.2.1~10.2.8, 10.3~10.3.9, 10.4~10.4.1
Check the Konica Minolta web site for the latest compatibility information:

Europe: http://www.konicaminoltasupport.com
Users with Windows 98 or 98 second edition will need to install the driver software on the included
Digital Camera Software CD-ROM (p. 103). No special driver software is required for other Windows
or Macintosh operating systems.
Customers who have bought a previous DiMAGE or Dynax digital camera and have installed the
Windows 98 driver software must repeat the installation procedure. The updated version of the dri-
ver software included on the supplied Digital Camera Software CD-ROM is required for the opera-
tion of the DiMAGE Z6 with a computer. The new software will have no affect on the performance of
older DiMAGE cameras.
A remote camera driver is supplied in the Windows edition of the Digital Camera Software CD-ROM.
The driver is not compatible with this camera.

Connecting the camera to a computer

Confirm the battery has sufficient power before connecting the camera to a computer; the full-bat-
tery indicator should be displayed on the monitor. The use of the AC adapter (sold separately) is
recommended over the use of the battery. For users with Windows 98 or 98 Second Edition, read
the section on page 103 on how to install the necessary USB driver before connecting the camera
to a computer.
1. Start up the computer. The computer must be on before connect-
ing the camera.
2. Insert the memory card into the camera. To change the memory
card while the camera is connected to a computer, see page 110.
3. Open the terminal cover and attach the smaller plug of the USB
cable to the camera. The arrow on the plug should face the back
3
of the camera. Make sure the plug is firmly attached.
4. Attach the other end of the USB cable to the computer's USB
port. Make sure the plug is firmly attached. The camera should be
connected directly to the computer's USB port. Attaching the
4
camera to a USB hub may prevent proper operation.
5. Press the main switch to turn on the camera. The USB connection
is made automatically; a screen appears to indicate the operation.
The monitor turns off when the connection has been made. If the
USB connection is not made, disconnect the camera and restart
the computer. Repeat the connection procedure above.
