Notes On Handling Your Camera

When you use your camera, carefully read and strictly observe the Safety Precautions from page 4 onwards and the notes described below.

lAvoid using or storing the camera in the following places:

¥Places subject to humidity, dust and dirt

¥Places subject to direct sunlight

¥Places subject to high or low temperature

¥Places filled with highly flammable gas

¥Places near gasoline, benzene or paint thinner

¥Places subject to strong vibrations

¥Places subject to smoke or steam

¥Places subject to strong magnetic fields (such as electric motors, transformers or magnets)

¥Places contacting chemicals such as pesticides or next to rubber or vinyl products for long periods

lDo not expose the camera to sand or dust.

The PDR-3300 is particularly sensitive to sand and dust. If the camera comes into contact with sand or dust, not only will the camera become damaged, it will also no longer be repairable.

Pay special attention when using the camera at the beach or where sand or dust is likely to be present.

l Notes On Condensation

Due to a sudden change in temperature, such as when you move the camera from a cold location to a warm one, water droplets (condensation) may form on the inside of the camera or on the lens. When this occurs, switch the camera OFF, and wait an hour before using the camera. Condensation may also form on the SD Memory Card. If this happens, remove the SD Memory Card, wipe off any condensation and wait a short time before using it again.

- 10 -

Using Your Camera Correctly (continued)

l Carrying Out Maintenance on Your Camera

¥To prevent the lens, surface of the LCD monitor or viewfinder from being scratched, blow off any dust from these parts with a blower brush and lightly wipe with a soft dry cloth.

¥Clean the body of the camera with a soft dry cloth. Do not use volatile liquids such as paint thinner, benzene or insecticide, as these may react with the camera body and cause deformation or remove the coating.

Notes On Batteries

¥To extend the use of the camera, we strongly recommend that you only use the following types of batteries:

-Nickel Metal Hydride [NiMh] (Extended Life, Rechargeable)

-Lithium (Extended Life, Not Rechargeable)

¥Battery performance in general (especially Alkaline) may vary depending on individual brand, length of storage since manufacture, temperature, and operating mode of the digital camera, such as play back using LCD and strobe. Low temperatures (50 degrees Fahrenheit/10 degrees Celsius or below) can also affect the performance of the battery and decrease the number of pictures taken when compared to picture taking in warmer conditions.

¥The supplied Alkaline batteries are only for operation check when you buy your camera, so the battery life may be short.

¥The use of manganese type batteries is not suitable for this product due to the low number of pictures that can be taken with this type of battery.

¥When the camera is not in use for an extended period, please remove the batteries from the camera to extend battery life, and to prevent damage such as battery leakage. (Once the batteries have been removed from the camera, you will need to re-set the date and time within the SETUP MENU.)

- 12 -

Using Your Camera Correctly (continued)

Notes On Handling Batteries

When you use the battery, carefully read and strictly observe the

warnings and cautions indicated on the battery.

Failure to do this might cause battery to rupture, ignite or heat up, resulting in fire, major injury or damaging the camera.

nAbout Battery Use

¥Do not use batteries other than that specified.

¥Do not insert batteries in the wrong direction.

¥Do not charge, heat, open, or short-circuit the batteries. Do not throw batteries into fire.

¥Do not charge the supplied batteries.

¥When using rechargeable batteries, follow the instructions for the batteries and the charger for safe handling. (This camera can not charge the rechargeable batteries.)

¥Do not leave dead or exhausted batteries in the camera.

¥Do not use different types of batteries together, or mix old and new batteries.

¥Do not remove the batteries immediately after a prolonged use of the camera, as they may have become heated.

Notes On Handling theACAdapter

Be sure to use only the specified AC adapter (PDR-AC20A for the US/Canada, PDR-AC20E for Europe, PDRAC20U for the UK) (sold separately). Using a different AC adapter might cause the camera to malfunction. When you use the AC adapter, carefully read and strictly observe the Safety Precautions from page 8 onwards and the notes described below.

¥Be sure that you do not allow the AC adapter to contact any other metal object as this might cause a short circuit.

¥To connect the AC adapter, firmly insert the plug on the end of the cable into the DC IN 5V terminal. Do not insert the plug into other terminals. This might cause the camera to malfunction.

¥Before you disconnect the connector cable, turn the camera OFF and then disconnect the cable holding it by its plug. Do not disconnect the connector cable by pulling the actual cable.

¥Do not drop the AC adapter or subject it to strong impacts.

¥Do not use the AC adapter in very hot and humid locations.

¥Do not plug in the AC adapter while you are using the battery. Switch the camera OFF first.

¥The AC adapter is for indoor use only.

¥Use only the specified AC adapter. Do not use other AC adapters.

¥The AC adapter may sometimes become warm during use. This is normal and not a malfunction.

¥Buzzing or whirring noises may come from inside the camera. This is normal and not a malfunction.

¥Do not use the AC adapter near a radio as it could interfere with radio signal reception.

¥If you remove the battery or AC adapter while the camera is in operation, the date may be lost from memory. If this happens, reset the date.

Using the Power Outlet

If you use the AC adapter in a room with a power outlet, you can take photographs for an extended period of time. This also prevents failed photographs due to battery wear or failed transfer of data to a PC. For details on handling the AC adapter, be sure to read page 14.

-Before you connect or disconnect the AC adapter, be sure to turn the camera off. If the AC adapter is connected or disconnected with the power ON, the camera may malfunction or recorded data may be erased (destroyed) even if the batteries are loaded.

-The camera may not start normally if you load batteries not on the power off status. In this case, slide the Power knob to turn off the power, then turn on again.

Insert the AC adapter connector plug into the DC IN 5V

DC IN 5V terminal

terminal on the camera.

Insert the AC adapter power plug into the power outlet.
