That is all.
New cards, but also cards used in other cameras, should be formatted, before you start shooting pictures.
the problem is with the firmware.
you need to update the firmware of the cam.
you may find the firmware update on the internet on the manufacturers site.
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.
It has something to do with your firmware version, it has to be ver 1.03 or never. There is good help to find at Konica´s website on how to check your own version and how to opdate
First try formatting the card again. If you cant do that then try another card. If that does not work remove the batteries from the camera, wait 30 mins and put the batteries back and try again. make sure that the batteries are fully charged and try running the camera without the external memory card just so you can check that it functions correctly. If not then it is a visit to service repair.
My Z6 worked flawlessly for over a year, then suddenly started shutting
off for no reason. Tried new batteries, etc. The problem turned out to
be the memory card. My advice, buy a GOOD card instead of a new camera!
Keep in mind, flash cards DO have a "life" to them - meaning they can
only be used / erased so many times before they will cause errors (so
don't buy a used card off of ebay - no matter HOW good the deal seems).
If your shutdown problem started with a "unable to read card" warning,
then its the card. The camera is actually "protecting" itself by
shutting down. Good luck!
