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.

●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-M65 or PDR-M61 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.

- 12 -

Using Your Camera Correctly (continued)

●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.

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 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 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.

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.

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

camera 2.
