Cleaning
If the camera or the outside of the lens is dirty, gently wipe it with a soft, clean, dry cloth. If the
camera or lens comes in contact with sand, gently blow away loose particles. Wiping may scratch
the surface.
To clean the lens surface, first blow away any dust or sand, then gently wipe the lens with a cloth
or tissue designed for optics. Use lens-cleaning fluid if necessary.
Never use organic solvents to clean the camera.
Never touch the lens surface with your fingers.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from dust and chemicals. For long periods of
disuse, store the camera in an airtight container with a silica-gel drying agent.
Remove the batteries and memory card from the camera when not in use for extended periods.
Do not store the camera in an area with naphthalene or mothballs.
During long periods of storage, operate the camera occasionally. When taking the camera out of
storage, check that the camera is functioning properly before using.
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.
Do not store the battery when it is fully charged.
When storing the battery for extended periods, recharge it for five minutes every six months. The
battery may not be able to be charged if completely exhausted.
A special built-in battery supplies power to the clock and memory for approximately one month
when the camera battery is exhausted or removed. If the camera resets each time the battery is
replaced, the built-in battery is exhausted. It must be replaced at a Konica Minolta service facility.
After initially inserting a charged battery, do not remove it from the camera for 24 hours; the
camera can be off during this period. The main battery is used to charge an internal battery, which
protects settings when the main battery is removed.
Keep battery and camera cradle contacts clean. Dirty contacts can prevent charging. If the
contacts become dirty, wipe them with a cotton swab.
