Notes On Handling Your Camera

When you use your camera, carefully read and strictly observe the Safety Precautions from page 5 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 electric 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 or dust.

• The PDR-T10 is particularly sensitive to sand and dust. If the camera comes into contact with sand or dust, 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 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 card. If this happens, remove the SD card, wipe off any condensation and wait a short time before using it again.

Carrying out Maintenance on your camera

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

Do not place credit cards nearby.

• A magnet is used on the front side of the camera. Be careful not to place magnetic card such as credit cards or the like nearby. Doing so may damage (erase) the data.

Notes on Batteries

Batteries

To extend the use of the camera, we strongly recommend that you only use the following types of batteries:

• AA Nickel battery (not rechargeable): ZR6G (Toshiba “GigaEnergy”)

• AA Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMh) battery (Rechargeable) : TH-3 (Toshiba)

Applications

Additional

Information

The camera does not have a rechargeable function. Please use the battery charger on the market when recharging Nickel Hydride (NiMh) battery.

• AA Lithium battery (Not Rechargeable)

• CR-V3 Lithium battery pack (Not Rechargeable)

Use Toshiba “GigaEnergy” AA Nickel batteries. “GigaEnergy” batteries are next generation batteries which are optimum for use in digital still cameras. They offer far better performance than conventional Alkaline batteries.

Notes on batteries other than the recommended batteries

AA Manganese batteries cannot be used in this camera. The AA Alkaline batteries can be used in case of urgent need, but only a few photographs can be taken. Furthermore, they cannot be used in a low temperature. Please be careful to purchase the proper batteries. For consideration of the environment, we do not recommend the use of AA Nickel Cadium batteries.

Note on Battery Life

The battery life may vary depending on individual brand of the battery, length of storage since manufacture, temperature of the camera and batteries, and operating condition such as flash. Moreover, if the polarities of the batteries (+ or –) and the terminal of the camera that come in contact with the electrodes are contaminated, electricity will not flow properly and the camera will decide that the batteries are exhausted. When removing and loading the batteries, be careful not to touch these parts. If the parts are contaminated, clean with a dry cloth. When using the supplied Nickel batteries, the number of photographs that can be taken are shown as below.

Conditions: 25°C, Flash use rate 100% Photography interval: 1 frame every 30 seconds Possible number of shots: 70 shots

* The number of frames shown above is a reference value.

Method of Extending Battery Life

Even if the camera is turned off, the battery power is slightly consumed. We strongly recommend to remove the batteries when the camera is not in use for an extended period of time. However, the time and date settings will return to the initial settings, so reset them before using. Low temperatures can also affect the performance of the battery so keep the camera and battery warm by placing in clothes to protect against the cold. Furthermore, battery performance affected by low temperature, which cause the possible number of shots decreasing, restores its functions when batteries return to the adequate temperature (25°C).

Page 14

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 5 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 the memory. If this happens, reset the date.

Switching the Mode (Photography Mode <--> Play Mode)

There are two methods of switching between photograpy mode and play mode.

Using the Mode Key

Whenever the mode key is touched, photography mode and play mode switches.

Using Touch Sensor / Auto Mode Switch Function

This camera is equipped with a touch sensor/auto mode switch function. Here we describe the touch sensor function and auto mode switch function.

• When you touch the shutter button ... (Touch sensor function)

When you touch the shutter button to take a photo during the play mode, the mode automatically switches to the photography mode. This is called the “Touch sensor function”. The shutter button senses that a human finger has touched it.

The initial setting is set to OFF. ☞ Touch sensor ➲ page 47

Important

• When using the touch sensor function, touch the shutter button with your hand. The function may not operate properly if you wear gloves on apply an adhesive plaster to you finger. For some people and under certain weather conditions

•

the touch sensor function may not work well.

• When you take a photo ... (Auto mode switch function)

When a preset time elapses after you take a photo and release your finger from the shutter button, the mode switches to the play mode. This is called the auto mode switch function. The time after which the mode switches can be set to anywhere between 2 and 30 seconds. The initial setting is set to OFF.

Setting the Flash (continued)

About Flash

The flash has the following 6 options.

[ ] Auto

A default setting. The flash fires automatically according to the photography conditions.

[ ] Suppressed Flash

The flash does not fire. 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.

[ ] Forced Flash

In this mode, the flash always fires. Use the Forced Flash mode when the subject is backlit, or in artificial light (fluorescent lighting, etc.).

[ ] Slow Sync

The flash is fired at a slower shutter speed. This flash mode is effective when taking pictures so that not only the subject but also

the background are both clearly reproduced in artificial light (backlighting, fluorescent lighting, etc.) or with people against the night as a background scene.

[ ] Red-Eye Forced Flash

“Red-eye” (when the eyes of people in photographs are red) happens when people are photographed in dark places using a flash, and is caused by the light of the flash reflecting the eyes. When the Red-Eye Force Flash mode is set, the flash always fires. Red-eye is reduced more effectively. Red-eye reduction is most effective when the people being photographed are looking into the camera, and when you photograph from as close as possible.

(“XXXX” is a number from 0001 to 9999.) The extension “.jpg” indicates that the file is in JPEG format. “JPEG” is a file format for storing color images in compressed form. The compression rate can be selected. The higher the compression rate, the greater the reduction in image quality. On this camera, the compression rate is determined by the image quality setting. JPEG is a file format commonly used for computer image programs and on the Internet. Images taken on the camera are stored in Exif format. “Exif” is the abbreviation of “Exchangeable Image File Format”, a color still image format for digital still cameras approved by the JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association). Exif consists of JPEG data and also includes thumbnail image and shooting mode settings. The Exif format is compatible with TIFF (another image format) and JPEG formats, and can be used with ordinary computer image processing programs.

Q&A

The following are some frequently asked questions.

Q: When I press the shutter button, the picture is not taken immedi-

ately. Why is this?

A: Are you using the “half-shutter” function (half-pressing the shutter button)?

Getting Ready

Additional

Information

With the camera, the focus and exposure are adjusted when the shutter button is half-pressed. If you press the shutter button all the way in without halfpressing first, the camera first adjusts the focus and exposure and the photo is only taken once the focus and exposure have been adjusted properly, resulting in a time lag between the time when the shutter button is pressed and when the photo is actually taken.

We recommended using the “half-shutter” function so as not to miss photo opportunities. For instructions on using the “half-shutter” function, see “Taking photographs” on page 24.

Q: I can’t focus properly. What could the problem be?

A: The camera uses a precise auto focus mechanism, but under the conditions

and with the subjects described below the auto focus function may not work well.

• Subjects moving at high speed

• Very shiny subjects such as a mirror or car body

• Extremely low contrast subjects (such as subjects dressed in the same color as the background, etc.)

• 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 hair or fur

• Subjects with no solidity, such as smoke or flames

• Subjects viewed through glass

In addition, the focus is set on the center of the frame, so if the subject is not at the center (when shooting two people standing side by side, for example), the focus is adjusted on the background and the desired subject (the two people) may be out of focus. In such cases, do the following:

1) Point the camera so that one of the persons is at the center of the viewfinder.

2) Half-press the shutter button. (The focus is locked on the person.)

3) Holding the shutter button in the half-pressed position, reposition the camera to achieve the desired composition.

4) Take the photo.

If the focus cannot be adjusted, it is locked to infinity (1.5 meters when using the flash).

Page 54

Q&A (continued)

Q: I want to send at photo as an e-mail attachment. How can I

reduce its size?

A: When sending photos as e-mail attachments, the image (file) size should not

be too large. Use the included image viewing program called Image Expert to save photos in reduced size. For instructions on installing Image Expert, see “Installing the image viewing program” on page 42.

1) Launch Image Expert.

2) Choose “Open Image” from the “File” menu.

3) Specify the image you want to reduce, then click “Open”. If the camera is connected using the USB cable, it is displayed as a removable

disc. Images on the camera can be opened directly by specifying the removable disc.

4) Click on “Change Size” in the “Image” menu.

5) Input values at “Width” and “Height”, then click “OK”. If “Keep Aspect Ratio” is checked, the size is changed without changing the image’s vertical:horizontal ratio.

6) The image is displayed at its new size.

7) Click on “Save As” in the “File” menu to save the image with the new size.

Q: I am having trouble retouching the image. What is the problem?

A: You have likely had the experience of taking a photo and seeing afterwards

that it is brighter or darker than you expected or does not have the desired colors. With digital still cameras you can retouch the photos after taking them, but this is often difficult at first. Image Expert, the included image viewing program, includes an auto retouch function that makes it easy to retouch photos.

1) Launch Image Expert.

2) Open the image you want to retouch.

3) Click on “Auto Retouch” in the “Image” menu.

4) Save the retouched image.
