HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

LCD MONITOR CARE

• The LCD monitor is a precision device with a pixel efficiency of 99.98%.

Less than 0.02% of the pixels are dysfunctional.

• Do not apply pressure on the surface of the LCD monitor. Permanent

damage may occur.

• In low temperatures, the LCD monitor will temporarily darken. When the

camera warms-up, normal display will be restored.

• If the + or – buttons are pressed rapidly during playback, images may

appear to overlap. This is normal and the image data is not changed.

• If the LCD monitor surface is dirty, first blow away dust or sand, then gently

wipe it with a soft, clean, dry cloth.

• If the LCD display blinks continuously or no longer works at all, it is time to

replace the monitor. Take the camera to your dealer or a Minolta Service

Facility listed on the back cover of this manual.

OPERATING TEMPERATURES AND CONDITIONS

• This camera has been designed for use from 5°C to 40°C (41° to 104°F).

• Never leave the camera where it may be subjected to extreme

temperatures, such as the glove compartment of a car.

• Do not subject the camera to extreme humidity.

• To prevent condensation from forming, place the camera in a sealed,

plastic bag when bringing it from the cold exterior to a warm building. Allow

it to come to room temperature before removing it from the bag.

• Battery performance decreases with lower operating temperatures. When

photographing in cold weather, it is recommended that you keep the

camera and spare batteries inside your coat to keep them warm when you

are not shooting. Cold batteries will regain some of their charge when they

warm up.

• Occasionally, when using alkaline batteries the low-battery symbol may

appear even if there is enough charge. Continue to use the camera. The

low-battery symbol will disappear.

HANDLING CARE

The Dimâge-Pic is neither waterproof nor splashproof.

• Inserting/removing batteries with wet hands may damage the camera.

• Take care when using the camera at the beach or near water. Costly or

irreparable damage may occur.
