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.

●

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.

- 13 -

Using Your Camera Correctly (continued)

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.

- 37 -

How to Press the Shutter Button (continued)

Memo

• If the shutter button is pressed all the way down, photographs cannot be taken until AF and AE are locked.

• The image in the LCD monitor sometimes darkens from the time that the shutter button is pressed down half way until the image becomes focused.

• 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 half way 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 blurred image.

• The PDR-M65 or PDR-M61 uses an accurate auto focus mechanism. However, the PDR-M65 or PDR-

M61 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)

- 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

• 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 five feet (1.5 meters) away.

[

] Red-Eye Reduction

Use this mode to avoid the red-eye effect (

➲

Additional Information, Glossary (Page 105)) when photographing people in low-light conditions.

The flash emits a pre-flash just before the picture is taken and then flashes again to take the actual picture.

Red-eye is reduced more effectively if the camera is pointed at the line of sight of the subject at as close a distance as possible.

E.V. (Exposure Compensation)

➲

Additional Information, Glossary (Page 105)

This setting allows you to lighten or darken the entire screen. Use this setting when the optimum brightness (exposure) cannot be obtained, for example, when there is a lot of contrast between the subject and the background or when the subject to photograph occupies only an extremely small part of the screen. Increasing E.V. lightens the screen, while decreasing E.V. darkens the screen.

[+1.5/+1.2/+0.9/+0.6/+0.3/0 (default)/–0.3/–0.6/–0.9/–1.2/–1.5]

The ideal brightness sometimes cannot be obtained even if a large E.V. value is set in dark photographic conditions.

Also, the brightness of moving images before they are photographed sometimes does not change if the subject itself is dark. In this case, press the shutter button, and check the brightness in the preview image (photographed image).

Glossary

●

AF/AE

AF (auto-focus) ··· A function for automatically focusing your camera.

AE ··· A function for automatically setting your camera’s exposure.

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

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

●

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.

●

Exif File Format (Exchangeable Image File Format)

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

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 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

Standard.

- 105 -

●

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.
