I found this "solution" on another site and it actually worked!
Turn the camera upside down. Now, with the device off, tap it a few times in your hand. Now, turn the device on in the viewfinder mode. Tap it again if the viewfinder isn't active.

Here are trans transformer and electric transformer (small model is mainly for overseas travel). There is no problem when using trans transformer, however when using electric transformer, there are many models which cannot be used with battery charger, precision instruments and so on.

I don't know much about firmaware upgrade. Check here http://www.velocityreviews.com/threads/firmware-upgrade-for-minolta-dimage-7.510561/

A camera store or electronics store will likely have the correct cable. It's most likely a "mini usb" connector. If there's a Best Buy near you, they should have it.

Any USB to mini USB is what you require. This one will do nicely. 6ft to Mini 8pin USB Cable ferrites for Pentax Panasonic Nikon Digital... And the link below will tell you how to get it. ($1.94 USD)

The manual calls it the USB Cable USB-3. DONT MIX THIS UP WITH USB3 cable. I Think, but I'm not 100% sure they mean a normal USB cable with a mini connector. To be 100% sure check the wiki page and look if it is the second from the left. It is a normal USB2 mini connector, you can buy in almost every electronics shop. Some manufacturers did use other cables, but this looks just a normal mini connector.

My Minolta Dimage camera used a standard "mini" USB cord. These are commonly available at any computer store or online.

Either the card is bad, or it is to big for the camera. If other devices can read it, it might not be compatable with your camera

Same thing happened mine. Take out battery and leave camera for a few weeks until internal cell goes flat. Switch to "stills" mode and put battery back in. You will need to reset the date and time. LEAVE SWITCH IN "STILLS" mode for ever more.

My Z6 does the same thing every now and then.

The only way I can get the message to stop (and that annoying warning chime) is to pop the card in and out real fast with the camera turned on.

It seems as though these Konicas are REALLY picky with the cards, and this is a well known issue. Also, make sure the little "lock" tab is in the "unlock" position.

You can also try taking the batteries out, and holding the on/off button for 1 minute. That resets it back to factory defaults, and clears out any "bugs". Sometimes it helps.

Sometimes using a card reader and manually formatting the card works too.

yes it happens to me too. please find the camera disassembly manual in pdf format or try youtube video. then you can dissasemble cam and fix the stucked parts. 95 :/: is no damaged parts .you need to reassemble according to manual. regards, nuwan

use duct tape.
