Konica Minolta dimage z5 User Manual

Camera images can be displayed on a television (p. 88). The video
output can be changed between NTSC and PAL in section 4 of the
setup menu. North America uses the NTSC standard and Europe
uses the PAL standard. Check which standard is used in your
region to play back images on your television set.

The data-transfer mode must be specified depending on whether images are transferred to a com-
puter 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. 114).

Self-timer delay period can be selected between 10 seconds and 2 seconds in section 4 of the
setup menu (p. 90). 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.

The digital zoom extends the power of the telephoto position of the optical zoom by up to 4X in
0.2X increments. It is activated in section 4 of the setup menu (p. 90). The transition between the
optical zoom and digital zoom is seamless. When the digital zoom is active, the image magnification
is displayed on the monitor and the focus frames change to a single focus area. Because of the
degree of magnification, the use of a tripod is recommended.

The digital zoom is operated by the zoom lever
(1). Slide the lever right (T) to zoom in to the
telephoto position of the lens. When the digital
zoom activates, the image magnification will be
displayed on the monitor. Turn the lever left (W)
to zoom out. After zooming, the zoom scale is
displayed briefly. The yellow section indicates
the digital-zoom range.

Digital-zoom images are interpolated to the set
image size. Some loss of quality may be evi-
dent.
