Using Your Camera Correctly
Notes On Handling Your Camera
When you use your camera, carefully read and strictly observe the Safety Precautions from page 8 onwards and
the notes described below.
G 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
G Do not expose the camera to sand or dust.
The PDR-M71 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.
G 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 condensation
and wait a short time before using it again.

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.
G Cautions on Magnetism
• Please note that credit cards, cash cards, magnetic
commutation tickets, floppy disks and the like are
susceptible to magnetism.

Using Your Camera Correctly (continued)
Notes On Batteries
• To extend the use of the camera, we strongly recommend that you only use the following types of batteries:
- Nickel Metal Hydride [NiMh] (Extended Life, Rechargeable)
- Lithium (Extended Life, Not Rechargeable)
• Battery performance in general (especially Alkaline) may vary depending on individual brand, length of storage
since manufacture, temperature, and operating mode of the digital camera, such as play back using LCD and
strobe. Low temperatures (50 degrees Fahrenheit/10 degrees Celsius or below) can also affect the performance
of the battery and decrease the number of pictures taken when compared to picture taking in warmer
conditions.
• The supplied Alkaline batteries are only for operation check when you buy your camera, so the battery life may
be short.
• The use of manganese type batteries is not suitable for this product due to the low number of pictures that can
be taken with this type of battery.
• When the camera is not in use for an extended period, please remove the batteries from the camera to extend
battery life, and to prevent damage such as battery leakage. (Once the batteries have been removed from the
camera, you will need to re-set the date and time within the SETUP MENU.)

• To set the focus or exposure for a subject outside the center of the intended image, point the camera directly
at the subject or desired exposure (lighting), press and hold the shutter button halfway. Now, with the shutter
button still held halfway down, you can turn the direction of the camera and frame your image with the focus
and exposure locked. Press the shutter button down fully to complete capturing of the image.
• Moving the camera as you press the shutter button will result in a blurred image.
• The PDR-M81 uses an accurate auto focus mechanism. However, the PDR-M81 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)

Taking and Playing Back Photographs on a TV
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 AV cable (provided) to the
PC/AV terminal on the camera.
PC/AV terminal
Connect the plug of the AV cable to the video input terminal on the TV.
Memo
• Switch to the video output system, NTSC or PAL, according to the TV or country in which your camera
is used.

Memo
• The image before the photograph is taken is slightly less clear than playback images. (This is
because television displays images at a lower resolution.)
• The display unit varies according to the output system.
• With the NTSC system, images can be displayed simultaneously on the LCD monitor and TV during
photography and playback.
• With the PAL system, images cannot be displayed simultaneously. When a cable is connected, only
TV display is available.
• With the PAL system, images are played back with a black frame surrounded.

Using SmartMedia™ on a PC
• When you use SmartMedia™, do not change or erase folders or file names (image data) on the

photograph them in low-light conditions. This is
caused by the light of the flash reflecting off the
inside of the eye.
GExif 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.
GWhite 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.
