20 Most Recent Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z6 Digital Camera - Page 5 Questions & Answers

I think you may be doing what I have ben doing. The auto focus beam I think emits from the small sender between the hand grip and the lense portion of the camera, ( Bad Design) When gripping the camera my fingers sometimes block the sender and causes it to be blurry as in not focused. .Try to keep your fingers from going in between the grip and lens and I think it will work for you.Let me know if this helps. I am so glad I found this out because this camera takes nice pictures.

Your lense may have mechanical problem as a result of normal use or dropping. You would have to seek professional help from a qualified Minolta service person. Sorry. good luck!!!

Hi,

check The camera is in the "view" mode instead of the "shoot" mode,
turn the power on, connect the cable, and launch the correct software on the PC.

You should be good.
Hope this helps

If the photos were transferred from the internal memory of your camera to your card, you may be able to retrieve them with special software (even after the card is formatted).

I've had corrupted memory cards in the past and had some success with software like CardRecovery. This one has a free trial:

http://www.cardrecovery.com/download.asp

Make sure your Daughters Camera is turned off....Open Memory Card door press in on card to release and remove it from the camera.....On the side of the card you will see a little tab that is knurled and slides up & down.....Simply slide this tab to the opposite position it is in now and reinsert into your camera , power up and you should now have an unlocked card.....This function is used if you fill up a card with photos and don't want to accidentally erase any of your pictures before you store on your PC or burn to a cd or dvd so that you don't lose your pictures.....

What size card is it? You should go to Konica Minolta USA Web-Site and look up your camera under discontinued products to see what the largest card your camera can handle as you may have a card that is to large for your camera format ....

Make sure your camera is off.....Open flap to memory card.....On the side of your card you will see a little TAB that you can slide up and down....Your card is in the LOCKED POSITION which means you can't accidentally erase pictures stored on the card.....Simply slde the tab to the opposite position where it is now and you will have an unlocked card.....

If you haven't formatted the card, the images can be retrieved using some software available on net. But these are not free software. The trial versions allow you to view the files, but you can't save them. Sandisk Rescue Pro is one such software. It usually comes free with Sandisk memory cards.

What have you checked - ?
Battery condition?
Contacts clean.
How does the on/off button feel?

This is an old model to a new camera is the most likely economical remedy

i have the same problem. Did you get any answers? Thanks

I had the same problem with mine, a minor fall cracked this, I disassembled the unit and one of the springs that hold the main sensor was broken, thus the sensor vibrates instead of "floating" when the camera is turned on. There are two possible solutions: The first is to get a faulty Z6 from eBay and get the parts (the main sensor assembly) and have it replaced. (If you are not comfortable working with 1mm screws, you'd better go with the parts to a camera repair shop and explain them the problem. The second solution is un-elegant but useful: If you disconnect the anti-shake circuit from the main board you won't have the annoying vibration at start, and the focus will work properly. I've done this and I am happy with the result (I rarely used the anti-shake feature, so I don't miss it). For reference, the anti-shake circuit ribbon is the one entering the mainboard just under the left side of the screen.


Ejoy.....
PS. if you have dark spots, chech that the sensor assembly is not too out of place or that a piece of the broken assembly is on the way. Realign it in place (and please don't touch it). and asseble tha camera back

hi there
the biggest card it will take is 2 gig i'm afraid but that should still give you about 500 to 600 pikkys.

if this is helpful
please leave feedback

happy snapping

Contact Customer Support this is possibly a CCD problem- they may still fix it.

There's a good possibilty that your mode switch is broken. Same thing happened to my Z6. I was able to source replacement switches, and can replace them.

Sony handle repairs to Konica Minolta gear (I think) good luck.

the contacts for the sd card side camera is dirty, or the it may be shut off in the setup menu

I have the same problem and the lens won't retract in.

before check the firmware reset the camera by going into menu > settings.

This seems to be a loose connection if the screen ribbon cable.
Gentle squeezing of the lower part of the case may get it to sit aright
