Using Your Camera Correctly

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.

●Avoid 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 near motors, transformers or magnets)

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

●Do not expose the camera to sand

The PDR-M70 is particularly sensitive to sand. If the camera comes into contact with sand, 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 sand dust is likely to be present.

●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 water droplets and wait a short time before using it again.

●Carrying Out Maintenance on Your Camera

• To prevent the lens, surface of the LCD monitor or viewfinder from being scratched, blow off any dust on 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.

●Precautions for Operating the Camera

Do not remove the SD memory card or Multi-Media Card (MMC) while the card access LED is flashing.

●Automatic Reset Function

This camera may fail to operate if exposed to very strong electromagnetic waves or static electricity. In this case, remove the batteries and reinsert them again to reset the camera’s circuits.

Using Your Camera Correctly (continued)

Notes On Handling Batteries

The PDR-3310 camera uses a lithium-ion battery pack (PDR-BT9). (PDR-BT1 can also be used.) (This manual simply refers to this battery pack as the “battery”) Other batteries cannot be used. When you use the battery, carefully read and strictly observe the Safety Precautions from page 4 onwards and the notes described below. * The battery is not fully charged when you buy your camera. Be sure

to charge the battery before you use your camera.

* Before you use a battery, be sure to remove the electrode cover.

About Battery Use

• The battery gradually discharges even when not used. Charge the battery one or two days before use.

• To maximize the battery life, switch the camera OFF as often as possible when it is not being used.

• In cold locations, the number of frames that can be taken decreases. Take along a spare fully charged battery. You can also increase the amount of power produced by putting the battery in your pocket or another warm place to heat it and then loading it into the camera just before you take a picture. If you are using a heating pad, do not place the battery directly against the pad.

• Always keep the terminals in a clean state.

• If the battery is used for a long time, the camera body and the battery itself will become warm. This is normal and not a malfunction.

• At normal temperatures, this battery can be recharged at least 300 times for use. If the battery runs out quickly, this indicates that the battery has reached the end of its effective life and should be replaced.

When Not Using the Battery For A Long Time

• If the battery is not to be used for a while, store it after there is no power left. If the battery is stored for a long time in a fully charged state, its performance may be impaired.

• When the battery is to be stored for a long time, fully charge the battery and then use the battery until there is no power left once every year and then store it.

• When the battery is not in use, be sure to remove it from the camera body. If the battery is left attached to the camera body or battery charger, a minute current will flow even if the power is turned OFF. This will result in overdischarge and the battery may no longer be useable.

• Store the battery in a cool place with the battery cover attached. We recommend a dry place with a surrounding temperature of +15°C (+59°F) to +25°C (+77°F). Avoid storing the battery in extremely hot or cold places.

Charging the Battery

• When you use the battery for the first time or when the battery has not been used for a long time, be sure to charge the battery before use.

• The battery can be charged within this camera body using the AC adapter supplied with the AC-71L (page 23). The battery takes about five hours to charge.

• This rechargeable battery does not need to be fully discharged or exhausted before being charged.

• The battery may feel warm after it has been charged or immediately after being used. This is normal and not a malfunction.

• The battery can be charged at temperatures between 0°C (+32°F) and +45°C (+113°F), but should be charged between +10°C (+50°F) and +30°C (+86°F) to obtain maximum battery performance.

• Do not recharge a fully charged battery.

Caution when disposing a battery

Batteries are included with this product. When they are no longer useable, you should not throw them away. Instead, properly dispose of them as small chemical waste.

Using Your Camera Correctly (continued)

Notes On Handling the AC Adapter

Be sure to use only the AC adapter provided with your camera. 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 4 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. (Page 26)

[ ] Red-eye reduction auto-flash mode:

[ ] Fill-in flash mode:

[ ] Flash-off mode:

The camera automatically determines lighting conditions and switches between flash and available-light exposure as needed.

The flash fires twice to help reduce the “red-eye” phenomenon*.

In this mode, the flash fires regardless of surrounding light conditions. This mode provides fill-flash when shooting in a backlight environment or under strong sunlight when shadows are cast on the main subject.

In this mode the flash does not fire. This mode is effective when shooting an evening sunset or to preserve indoor mood.

* “Red-eye” Phenomenon: This phenomenon may occur when using flash to

photograph persons or pets under dark conditions. In some cases, the flash reflects against the retinas of the subject’s eyes, causing the pupils to appear red in the photograph.
