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.)

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 (sold separately) 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.

IMPORTANT

• 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 the recorded data may
be erased (destroyed) even if the batteries are loaded.

• The camera may not start normally if you connect the AC adapter not on the power off status. In this
case, turn the mode dial to OFF, then turn on again.

Open the connector cover 1, and insert the AC
adapter connector plug into the DC IN 5V terminal on

• To focus or expose a position outside the center of the screen frame, move the subject you are taking to
the center of the screen frame, and press down the shutter button halfway and hold it until the camera
beeps. Now, with the shutter button held down, return to the original picture that you composed and
press the shutter button down fully. Moving the camera as you press the shutter button will result in a

• The PDR-M11 uses an accurate auto focus mechanism. However, the PDR-M11 may have difficulty
focusing or not be able to focus at all for subjects and situations such as the following:

- Subjects moving at high speed

- Very shiny subjects such as a mirror or car
body

- Extremely low contrast subjects

- Subjects that have low contrast and merge
into the background (such as white walls or
subjects dressed in the same color as the
background)

• If the image cannot be focused, the focus is automatically fixed to infinity. When the flash is necessary
at this time, it is simultaneously fixed to illuminate objects three feet (0.9 meters) away.

- When the subject is distant and dark

- When there are objects in front of or behind the
subject (such as an animal in a cage or a person
in front of a tree)

- Subjects with little reflection, such as a hair or fur

- Subjects with no solidity, such as smoke or flames

- Subjects viewed through glass

Use the Suppressed Flash mode when you are taking pictures in indoor lighting at distances too great for the
flash to have any effect, such as theater performances or indoor sporting events.

Glossary

●AF/AE

AF (auto-focus) ··· A function for automatically
focusing your camera.
AE ··· A function for automatically setting your
camera’s exposure.

Getting Ready

AF/AE lock ··· Locking of the focus and exposure
settings.

●DCF (Design rule for Camera File System)

A file system standard defined by the JEIDA (Japan

Basic

Playing Back/

Other

Additional

Electronic Industry Development Association) that is
required for exchanging data between digital still

Photography

cameras or a digital camera and a printer. This
standard defines the hierarchy and file names used
when storing image files on memory cards or other
recording medium.

●Exif File Format (Exchangeable Image File Format)

A color still image format for digital still cameras
approved by the JEIDA (Japan Electronic Industry

Erasing Images

Development Association). JPEG-compliant, this
format is compatible with TIFF and JPEG and can be
used in image processing software for most personal
computers.

●JPEG

A file format used for compressing and saving color

Applications

images. The compression ratio can be selected, but
the higher the compression ratio, the worse image
quality becomes. This format is widely used in the
paint software for PCs and on the Internet.

●PC Card

A generic term for cards that meet the PC Card

Information

Standard.

●Red-Eye Effect

The phenomenon where people’s eyes sometimes
appear red in the picture when you use a flash to
photograph them in low-light conditions. This is
caused by the light of the flash reflecting off the
inside of the eye.

●White Balance

When the brightness of the light changes, the human
eye adapts so that a white object still looks white. On
the other hand, devices such as digital still cameras
see a white subject as white by first adjusting the
balance to suit the color of the ambient light around
the subject. This adjustment process is referred to as
matching the white balance.

●SmartMedia™

Name of a recording medium defined by the SSFDC
Forum. This recording medium can be used over and
over again.

●Formatting

Transforming the contents of the SmartMedia™ to a
recordable state. (This is sometimes called
“initialization”.)

●Exposure Compensation

When the screen contains an extremely bright or dark
object, the camera automatically adjusts the
brightness, resulting in the subject being reproduced
darker or lighter. Exposure compensation adjusts for
this.
