Using the Minolta MND50 is easy. To take a photo or video, first turn on the camera. Use the 3.0” LCD screen to compose your shot. For different shooting scenarios, rotate the Mode dial to select the appropriate mode, such as portrait or sports. When you want to get closer to the subject, use the 16X digital zoom. To take close - ups, switch to Macro mode. When recording video, you can choose between 4K Ultra HD at 60fps or 1080p Full HD at 120fps. Make sure the SD/SDXC memory card is properly inserted as it's where your photos and videos will be saved. For battery care, when the battery is low, recharge it using the NP - 40 battery charger. Avoid exposing the camera to extreme temperatures and keep it clean with a soft, dry cloth. Also, be careful when using the extendable LED flash as overusing it may drain the battery faster.
