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.

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.

In this mode, the flash fires automatically according to the photography conditions. This mode is ideal for  
general photography where you are not trying to achieve any particular effect (when using macro photography,  
the flash does not fire).  
[
[
] 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.  
] Forced Flash  
In this mode, the flash always fires. Use the Forced Flash mode to shoot pictures in artificial light (backlighting,  
fluorescent lighting, etc.).  
The flash also fires during macro photography.  
[
[
] Suppressed Flash  
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.  
] [ ] Slow Synchro  
The flash is fired at a slower shutter speed.

Photography Using the Flash (Flash photography) (continued)  
Memo  
• If you take a photograph in the [  
] [ ] Slow Synchro mode at a place with a dark background or in the [  
]
Suppressed Flash mode at a dark place, the shutter speed slows down, and the slow shutter speed warning is  
displayed. (When the shutter is pressed half way down, the viewfinder lamp blinks green and the slow shutter  
speed mark [  
] is displayed in the LCD monitor.) We recommend using a tripod to prevent blurred image  
caused by shaking.  
• Using the flash during multi photography and bulb photography is not possible.  
• The flash setting is not canceled even if the camera is turned OFF or the Auto Power OFF function is activated.  
• The settings are canceled when you remove or insert the batteries or disconnect or connect the AC adapter.  
• It may take a few seconds to charge the flash. Photography by using the flash is not possible while the charging  
is in progress. So wait until the charging is completed.

E.V. (Exposure Compensation)  
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.

Details of operation are the same as taking photographs and playing them back on the LCD monitor.  
How to take photographs Page 40  
How to play back images Page 62  
Memo  
• Nothing is displayed on the TV when the LCD monitor is set to OFF by the DISP button.  
• Live images (moving image before photography) are less clear than playback images. (This is because  
they are displayed at a lower resolution.)

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.
