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
● Avoid using or storing the camera in the following places:
• Places subject to humidity, dust and dirt
• Places subject to direct sunlight
Basic
Photography
• Places subject to high or low temperature
• Places filled with highly flammable gas
• Places near gasoline, benzene or paint thinner

Other
Applications
Additional
Information
● Do not expose the camera to sand.
● Notes On Condensation
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.
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.

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.

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
