Using Your Camera Correctly
Notes On Handling Your Camera
When you use your camera, carefully read and strictly observe the Safety Precautions from page 6 onwards and
the notes described below.
Getting Ready
Basic
Photography
Playing Back/
Erasing Images
Other
Applications
Additional
Information
● 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-M11 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 SmartMedia™ card. If this happens, remove the SmartMedia™, 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 status display 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.

Using Your Camera Correctly (continued)
Recommended Battery Options for Maximum Performance and Enjoyment
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)
- Alkaline (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. 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. 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. 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 from battery leakage. (Once the batteries have been removed from the camera,
you will need to re-set the date and time within the SET-UP menu.)

Notes On Handling the AC Adapter
Be sure to use only the specified AC adapter (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 6 onwards and
Getting Ready
the notes described below.
• Use the AC adapter with the rating of the country/region where the camera is used.
• Be sure that you do not allow the AC adapter to contact any other metal object as this might cause a
Basic
Photography
Playing Back/
Erasing Images

Applications
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.
