Transfer Mode; Self-Timer; Anti-Shake System - Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z3 Instruction Manual

TRANSFER MODE

The data-transfer mode must be specified depending on whether images are transferred
to a computer or printed directly. The data-storage option must be selected to transfer
data from the camera to a computer or when using the DiMAGE Viewer software. The
PictBridge option allows images to be printed directly from the camera with a PictBridge
compatible printer (p. 108).

SELF-TIMER

Self-timer delay period can be selected between 10 seconds and 2 seconds in section 4
of the setup menu (p. 86). A two-second self-timer is recommended to reduce camera
shake when using a tripod. Unlike the 10 seconds self-timer, the two-second self-timer is
not canceled after taking a picture.

ANTI-SHAKE SYSTEM

The Anti-shake system minimizes the affect of camera shake, a slight blurring caused by
subtle hand motion. Camera shake is more pronounced at the telephoto setting than at
the wide-angle. Anti-shake is employed when the shutter speed falls below a certain limit
depending on the focal length in use. The effectiveness of Anti-shake depends on the
shutter-speed in use and the degree of shaking. The system may not work with moving
subjects or when the camera is panned.
When the system is active, the Anti-shake
indicator appears. Regardless of the Anti-
Camera-shake
shake setting, if the shutter speed is too
warning
slow for the camera to be safely handheld,
the camera-shake indicator appears as a
Anti-shake
warning. Use the built-in flash or a wide-
indicator
angle zoom position.
