Does D7D have a backup batt in body?
i think most DSLR/SLR may have a 2032 or similar dry cell in the body to preserve the clock setting for the camera when we remove the camera batteries.
i encounter twice, not once but TWICE, i took out both my batteries, and when i reinserted the batteries, the camera ask me to key in the date & time again...

 Huh?! I always removed all the batt. (as in the NP-400) before I stored inside my Dry Cabi ler, but never encountered such situation... and they were like plenty of times already, not twice... |

Well, I guess you could have gotten a set with a flat cell... You could always go get it checked/replaced at the Minolta Service centre. We are so fortunate to have it so conveniently located in town.

Looks like a bad super-cap in your camera
Hiee....
It looks like the super cap in your camera is bad. This super cap(actually a capacitor)... take the place of the battery for maintaining supply to the non-volatile ram. May last upto a ~few days in some systems without main batteries on. If yours just keeps asking for date and time....then the super cap may need replacement... rgds, sulhan |

well, technology has evolved... no longer internal round cell to run the power, capacitor that is... thanks Sulhan for the pointer... Last edited by -7-; 22nd December 2004 at 10:17 PM. |

The camera has some activity after the switch is flicked to off which makes the card activity LED turn on for a while. During this time if you take the batteries out, you will reset the clock in the body. To avoid this, let the LED fade before taking out the batteries. Cheers! |
