CCD-PLANE INDICATOR
For some technical photographic applications such as macro
photography, the position of the CCD plane is necessary. The
CCD-plane indicator is located next to the exposure-mode dial.

SMOOTH FOCUS
Some lenses or lens and teleconverter combinations can be difficult to focus manually. The
following procedure disconnects the body’s AF system to make focusing easier. Metering accuracy
and Anti-Shake performance is lower when using the function. This cannot be used with xi series or
AF Power Zoom lenses.
Smooth-focus indicator
Turn the focus-mode dial to the manual-focus position.
Simultaneously press and hold the lens release and the central
button of the controller.
Release the lens release followed by the controller to disconnect
the AF system.
An indicator warns the smooth-focus mode is active. To cancel the
mode, repeat the procedure or change the position of the focus-
mode dial.
LENS COMPATIBILITY
All Konica Minolta AF lenses are compatible with this camera. MD and MC series lenses cannot be
used. For our current line of lenses, contact your Konica Minolta dealer.
The AF Macro Zoom 3X - 1X f/1.7-2.8 cannot be used with Anti-Shake (p. 32); turn Anti-Shake off. If
a lens is equipped with a macro release, the release cannot be used with Anti-Shake. Focus range
limiters set to a range that does not include infinity cannot be used. The focus range limiter on the
SSM-series or D-series macro lenses can be used at any set range. Anti-Shake may not work with
products made by another manufacturer.
To extend the versatility of the camera, an accessory flash unit (sold separately) can be used.
Always remove the accessory flash when the camera is not in use, and replace the accessory-shoe
cap to protect the contacts.
ATTACHING AN ACCESSORY FLASH UNIT
Slide the accessory-shoe cap off as shown.
Mount the flash unit on the accessory shoe by
sliding it forward until it stops.
FOCAL-LENGTH CONVERSION
Because the CCD is smaller than a 35mm frame, the angle of view obtained at a specific focal
length is not the same. To calculate the approximate equivalent 35mm focal length, multiply the
focal length in use by 1.5. A 100mm lens gives about the same angle of view as a 150mm lens on a
35mm camera.
