The backup cell is rechargeable and when the main battery is reinserted and charged, it will charge the backup cell after a while.

If your Konica Minolta Dimage Z6 camera is working fine but is not being recognized by Windows 11, there are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check the USB cable: Make sure that the USB cable you are using is properly connected to both the camera and the computer. Try using a different USB cable to see if that resolves the issue.
2. Check the USB port: Try connecting the camera to a different USB port on your computer to see if the port is the issue. Some USB ports may not have enough power to detect the camera.
3. Install the camera driver: If the camera did not come with a driver disc, try downloading and installing the driver from the manufacturer's website. Make sure to download the correct driver for your camera model and operating system.
4. Restart the computer: Sometimes, restarting the computer can help to resolve issues with USB devices not being recognized.
5. Try a different computer: If the above steps do not work, try connecting the camera to a different computer to see if the issue is with the camera or the computer.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, it is possible that there may be a hardware problem with the camera. In that case, it may be necessary to contact the manufacturer or a qualified technician for further assistance.

You're not trying to connect a high speed USB device into a low speed bus, are you?

Yipes - seems that electronics have developed a nind of their own. Check with the manufacturer, if manual has no mention, of a reset switch or hidden code that will reset unit to factory defaults. Cross your fingers.

There is some kind of grit or something in the lens gearing mechanism, preventing its movement. Take it to a repair facility, or replace it.

The only site activity of yours I can trace is over a year old, and neither posting concerned a camera. Is it possible you have directed your vituperation to the wrong site ?

get new battery put it in camera and set settings again, but first try charging the battery, this might be all it needs, hope this helps.

As we have no idea where you are located, we cannot tell you where the 'nearest' centre for repairs may be. It is verging on the impossible to have such old technology repaired anyway, no matter how much you like it, as the spares and technicians are no long available.

First of all, referencing a 'previous mail' is of little use - at Fixya, posts are made on forums when requesting assistance. Secondly, you say 'even re-chargeable batteries' - not all re-chargeable batteries are alike. Many people recommend the use of 2500mAh re-chargeable batteries to provide power to cameras. Thirdly, I cannot comment on the suggestion there may be a fault with this particular model - a Google search may provide more information on this matter.

Is the lens cover completely retracted? Look at it.

Might one enquire how you have assessed the intelligence of the connecting lead ? I know of no definitive tests for this area of electronic equipment.

sounds like the contacts on the switches may be dirty or worn. May want to find a local camera repair center to get a quote on the repair.

Are you sure it is set to save images to the card and not the camera's internal memory ?

Yes you should format it.

Check on ebay to see if someone is parting out a broken camera. Otherwise you will have to get it from the manufacturer who will soak you for it.

It is possible that the card capacity is too great for the camera - does the manual give a maximum storage size ? If not, contact the manufacturer who should be able to help you.
