I bought a new Konica Minolta Dimage Z3 cameral last week and so far I'm well impressed with it. However I have encountered an unusual problem, the onboard clock keeps losing track of the time. Most of the time it is okay but every so often it seems it's just stopped. Has anyone else encountered something like this?

Firmware version is 1.02e which I believe is the latest.

I've had mine for more than two months now and haven't noticed that problem. There may be somethingwrong with the on-board battery that keeps the clock running. I suggest you return this to your supplier for servicing.

Thanks, I wondered about this since a google search turned up a review by someone else who has had what seems to be a similar problem:

I also noticed that there was a firmware update that was supposed to address some issue or other with the real time clock but as far as I can tell I've got the latest version of the firmware anyway.
