OPERATING CONDITIONS
OPERATING CONDITIONS
• This camera is designed for use from -10 to 40 °C (14 to 104 °F).
• Never leave your camera where it may be subjected to extreme temperatures such as
inside the glove compartment of a car.
• At colder temperatures, the data panel response time will be slow. At higher temperatures,
the display may temporarily darken, but will restore when the temperature normalizes.
• To prevent condensation from forming inside the camera when bringing the camera from
an extremely cold area to a warm area, let the camera come to room temperature before
opening the film or battery chambers.
• When photographing in cold weather, 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.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
The film used in Advanced Photo System cameras stores some data magnetically. Do not
place the film cassette on or near anything that creates a magnetic field, such as a television
or stereo speakers.
FILM CASSETTE WARNING
CAMERA ERROR
If the camera will not function with a fresh battery, remove the battery, wait a few minutes,
then reinsert it. If normal operation does not resume or the camera malfunctions repeatedly,
contact an authorized Minolta Service Facility.
