Konica Minolta E500 Manuel D'Instructions

LCD monitor care
„ The LCD monitor is manufactured using high-precision technology and more than 99.99% of the

pixels operate properly. Less than 0.01% of the monitor pixels are displayed as color or bright points;
this is not monitor defect and does not affect the recorded image.

„ Do not apply pressure to the surface of the LCD monitor; it may be permanently damaged.
„ In cold temperatures, the LCD monitor may become temporarily dark. When the camera warms up, the

display will function normally.

„ If fingerprints are on the LCD monitor surface, gently wipe with a soft, clean, dry cloth.

Batteries
„ Battery performance decreases with temperature. In cold environments, we recommend keeping

spare batteries in a warm place, such as the inside of a coat. Batteries can recover their power when
they warm up.

„ In cold environments, the use of Ni-MH batteries is recommended over alkaline batteries for better

performance.

„ If batteries have been exhausted when used in the camera, do not reload them even if their charge

seems to recover over time. These batteries will interfere with normal camera operation.

Operating temperatures and conditions
„ Never leave the camera exposed to extreme high temperatures, such as in a car parked in the sun,

or to extreme humidity.

„ When taking the camera from a cold to a warm environment, place it in a sealed plastic bag to prevent

condensation from forming. Allow the camera to come to room temperature before removing it from
the bag.

The following may cause data loss or damage:
„ Improper use of the card.
