Minolta Dimage 7 Service Manual

IM NOT A ROBOT BUT I COULD BE AN ALIEN wrote:

Is there an internal battery or capacitor that operates the clock/date information in the Minolta Dimage 7 camera?

Yes there is , and if the cameras not holding the settings and date , then it's because it's not holding a charge .

Has the camera been standing a long time without batteries in and unused ?

If so it could be flat and might possibly be revived by leaving a fresh set of AA's in the camera as the internal battery is recharged this way .

If you haven't already tried this , it's worth a go before stripping the camera .

A quick search on the forum came up with this thread giving links to a website giving free downloads for the DiMage 7 service manual , parts 1 & 2 .

That thread asked about the A2 , but this was the only links given .

Main page link ;

It tells you to download both sections before uncompressing the files .

Good luck .
