Using Your Camera Correctly

● Carrying Out Maintenance on Your Camera• To prevent the lens, surface of the LCD monitor or

viewfinder from being scratched, blow off any dust onthese parts with a blower brush and lightly wipe with asoft dry cloth.

• Clean the body of the camera with a soft dry cloth. Do notuse volatile liquids such as paint thinner, benzene orinsecticide, as these may react with the camera body andcause deformation or remove the coating.

● Precautions for Operating the CameraDo not remove the SD memory card or Multi-Media Card(MMC) while the card access LED is flashing.

● Automatic Reset FunctionThis camera may fail to operate if exposed to very strongelectromagnetic waves or static electricity. In this case,remove the batteries and reinsert them again to reset thecamera’s circuits.

Notes On Handling Your CameraWhen you use your camera, carefully read and strictly observe theSafety Precautions from page 4 onwards and the notes describedbelow.

● 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 sandThe PDR-M70 is particularly sensitive to sand. If the cameracomes into contact with sand, not only will the camerabecome damaged, it will also no longer be repairable.Pay special attention when using the camera at the beach orwhere sand or sand dust is likely to be present.

● Notes On CondensationDue to a sudden change in temperature, such as when youmove the camera from a cold location to a warm one, waterdroplets (condensation) may form on the inside of thecamera or on the lens. When this occurs, switch the cameraOFF, and wait an hour before using the camera.Condensation may also form on the SD Memory Card. If thishappens, remove the SD Memory Card, wipe off any waterdroplets and wait a short time before using it again.

Using Your Camera Correctly (continued)

Notes On Handling BatteriesThe PDR-3310 camera uses a lithium-ion battery pack (PDR-BT9).(PDR-BT1 can also be used.) (This manual simply refers to this batterypack as the “battery”) Other batteries cannot be used.When you use the battery, carefully read and strictly observe the SafetyPrecautions from page 4 onwards and the notes described below.* The battery is not fully charged when you buy your camera. Be sure

to charge the battery before you use your camera.* Before you use a battery, be sure to remove the electrode cover.

About Battery Use• The battery gradually discharges even when not used.

Charge the battery one or two days before use.• To maximize the battery life, switch the camera OFF as

often as possible when it is not being used.• In cold locations, the number of frames that can be taken

decreases. Take along a spare fully charged battery. Youcan also increase the amount of power produced byputting the battery in your pocket or another warm placeto heat it and then loading it into the camera just beforeyou take a picture. If you are using a heating pad, do notplace the battery directly against the pad.

• Always keep the terminals in a clean state.• If the battery is used for a long time, the camera body and

the battery itself will become warm. This is normal and nota malfunction.

• At normal temperatures, this battery can be recharged atleast 300 times for use. If the battery runs out quickly, thisindicates that the battery has reached the end of itseffective life and should be replaced.

When Not Using the Battery For A Long Time• If the battery is not to be used for a while, store it after

there is no power left. If the battery is stored for a longtime in a fully charged state, its performance may beimpaired.

• When the battery is to be stored for a long time, fullycharge the battery and then use the battery until there isno power left once every year and then store it.

• When the battery is not in use, be sure to remove it fromthe camera body. If the battery is left attached to thecamera body or battery charger, a minute current will floweven if the power is turned OFF. This will result inoverdischarge and the battery may no longer be useable.

• Store the battery in a cool place with the battery coverattached. We recommend a dry place with a surroundingtemperature of +15°C (+59°F) to +25°C (+77°F). Avoidstoring the battery in extremely hot or cold places.

Charging the Battery• When you use the battery for the first time or when the

battery has not been used for a long time, be sure tocharge the battery before use.

• The battery can be charged within this camera body usingthe AC adapter supplied with the AC-71L (page 23). Thebattery takes about five hours to charge.

• This rechargeable battery does not need to be fullydischarged or exhausted before being charged.

• The battery may feel warm after it has been charged orimmediately after being used. This is normal and not amalfunction.

• The battery can be charged at temperatures between 0°C(+32°F) and +45°C (+113°F), but should be chargedbetween +10°C (+50°F) and +30°C (+86°F) to obtainmaximum battery performance.

• Do not recharge a fully charged battery.

Caution when disposing a batteryBatteries are included with this product. Whenthey are no longer useable, you should not throwthem away. Instead, properly dispose of them assmall chemical waste.

1514

Using Your Camera Correctly (continued)

Notes On Handling the AC AdapterBe sure to use only the AC adapter provided with your camera. Using adifferent AC adapter might cause the camera to malfunction.When you use the AC adapter, carefully read and strictly observe theSafety Precautions from page 4 onwards and the notes describedbelow.* 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 otherterminals. This might cause the camera to malfunction.

• Before you disconnect the connector cable, turn the camera OFF andthen disconnect the cable holding it by its plug. Do not disconnectthe 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, resetthe date. (Page 26)

<Flash Modes>When the “ ” button is pressed, the display changes as follows:

* “Red-eye” Phenomenon: This phenomenon may occur when using flash tophotograph persons or pets under dark conditions. In some cases, theflash reflects against the retinas of the subject’s eyes, causing the pupils toappear red in the photograph.

In this mode, the flash fires regardless ofsurrounding light conditions. This modeprovides fill-flash when shooting in a backlightenvironment or under strong sunlight whenshadows are cast on the main subject.

In this mode the flash does not fire. This mode iseffective when shooting an evening sunset or topreserve indoor mood.

The camera automatically determines lightingconditions and switches between flash andavailable-light exposure as needed.
