I have a Minolta 5D that seems to have lost all elctrics is it a right off or does it have an internal battery that might have gone down?

was it working before?
turn the memory card anyway and have a try - before check inside the memory card compartment with a flashlight if you can see the contacts at the bottom and insert the card corresponding to them.
Or try another card to exclude yours is not damaged or wrong type somehow....

You don't need a driver. The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program, such as Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).

I could not find a Konica Minolta Model DG-5D camera listed on the support web pages.
I did find a "DYNAX5D/Maxxum5D" that had driver software for Windows 98/98se.
If you're using XP or later, these drivers probably won't help you though.
Can you confirm the model number?

Contact a Minolta representative. They're calling back the cameras with those symptoms and will exchange it for free until Dec. 31, 2010.

Ther charging circuit seems to be defective or your charger is gone. Try and test the charger elsewhere.

go to menu, move over to wrench, select. then move down to ctrl dial set. select aperture. now go back up and get out of menu. now you want to select "M" on your right dial.,turn your clicker knob on the front right of camera, and there you can click to bulb. hope that made sense!

You need an NP-400 Li-ion lithium battery - I suspect ebay or Amazon can fix you right up.

Hey arnelsartwor,
To set both exposure and flash bracketing you need to press the drive mode button, and then use the up/down arrows to select bracketing and then use the right/left arrows to highlight the drive mode option and then press the center button to select the desired drive mode. These instructions are on page 50 of your user manual. I hope this helps!

Sincerely,
Allan

The P-channel MOSFET switching the CF power is dead. It is on the little board directly above the battery compartment. SOT23 package, the marking is 338 or something like that. Replace it and it will work.
