The Konica Minolta Dimage Z2 digital camera allows users to take digital photos for storage on the camera or an inserted memory card. You can use the camera's manual focus to zoom on to subjects without diminishing the resolution of the photos, or zoom in even closer using the digital zoom, which will affect the resolution. As a user, you have the choice of either transferring photos from the camera to a computer by connecting the two with a USB cable, or by removing the memory card and inserting it into the computer's memory card reader.
Instructions
Taking Pictures
1. Remove the lens cap and press the "Power" button on the center of the camera's rear controls. Find the subject you would like to photograph using the camera's LCD screen in the back.
2. Zoom in or out to include or exclude elements around your subject by rotating the dial on the right side of the top of the camera counterclockwise to zoom in and clockwise to zoom out.
3. Press the camera's shutter button partway down to lock in the focus and exposure settings. When the focus LED light illuminates red, let go of the button and try again.
4. Press the shutter button all the way down once the focus LED light illuminates white. You will see the picture displayed on the camera's LCD screen for a moment.
Transferring Pictures to a Computer
5. Plug the camera's power cord into an electrical outlet near the computer and plug the other end into the camera's AC port. Turn on the computer and open the memory card door to check that the memory card is installed in the camera.
6. Insert the larger end of the USB cable into the computer and the smaller end into the plug next to the memory card slot. Make sure the triangular mark on the USB plug faces the back of the camera.
7. Press the camera's "Power" button to turn it on. Wait for the camera and computer to connect to one another automatically.
8. Click on "Transfer Files and Photos" to begin the transfer process. Once the transfer has completed, unplug the USB cable from the camera and the computer.
