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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

About Image Numbers and Folder Numbers
• When the image number is reset, a number starting from 0001 is assigned to an empty folder having
the smallest number of the SmartMedia™ that is inserted.
The folder number varies according to the state of the inserted SmartMedia™. To also reset the folder
number, format the SmartMedia™ first and reset the image number.
• A consecutive number continuing from the last photographed image is assigned as the image number
regardless of whether or not only one image or all images were erased.
• The largest image number is 9999. When this number is reached, a new folder is created, and the
image number is assigned starting from 0001.
Selecting the FOLDER Page 70
☞
➲
• The largest folder number is 999. When the folder number reaches 999, format the SmartMedia™.
• When you use SmartMedia™ that was used for taking photographs on another camera, or swap
between two or more SmartMedia™, the data held by this camera is given priority as the image
number. The folder number is assigned according to the state of your camera or the SmartMedia™.

Taking and Playing Back Photographs on a TV (only M65)
Television sets can be used to compose images for photography or playback. To do this, the camera must first be
connected to the TV. We recommend using the AC adapter on an indoor power outlet when available.
IMPORTANT
• Before you connect your camera to other equipment, be sure to turn all other connected equipment
OFF. If you connect your camera to other equipment with the power still ON, the screen may flicker or
the image may not be displayed normally.
Connect the plug of the video cable (provided) to the
VIDEO terminal on the camera.
Connect the video cable plug to the VIDEO IN terminal
on the TV.

Glossary
●AF/AE
●Red-Eye Effect
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.
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
●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.
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.
●SmartMedia™
●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.
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”.)
●JPEG
●Exposure Compensation
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.
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.
●PC Card
A generic term for cards that meet the PC Card
Standard.
