Using Your Camera Correctly
Notes On Handling Your Camera
When you use your camera, carefully read and strictly observe the
Safety Precautions from page 4 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-M70 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.
●Carrying Out Maintenance on Your Camera
• To prevent the lens, surface of the LCD monitor 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.
●Precautions for Operating the Camera
Do not remove the SD memory card or Multi-Media Card
(MMC) while the card access LED is flashing.
●Automatic Reset Function
This camera may fail to operate if exposed to very strong
electromagnetic waves or static electricity. In this case,
remove the batteries and reinsert them again to reset the
camera’s circuits.
●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 SD Memory Card. If this
happens, remove the SD Memory Card, wipe off any water
droplets and wait a short time before using it again.

11
Using Your Camera Correctly (continued)
Notes On Handling Batteries
The PDR-3310 camera uses a lithium-ion battery pack (PDR-BT9).
(PDR-BT1 can also be used.) (This manual simply refers to this battery
pack as the “battery”) Other batteries cannot be used.
When you use the battery, carefully read and strictly observe the Safety
Precautions 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. You
can also increase the amount of power produced by
putting the battery in your pocket or another warm place
to heat it and then loading it into the camera just before
you take a picture. If you are using a heating pad, do not
place 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 not
a malfunction.
• At normal temperatures, this battery can be recharged at
least 300 times for use. If the battery runs out quickly, this
indicates that the battery has reached the end of its
effective 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 long
time in a fully charged state, its performance may be
impaired.
12
• When the battery is to be stored for a long time, fully
charge the battery and then use the battery until there is
no power left once every year and then store it.
• When the battery is not in use, be sure to remove it from
the camera body. If the battery is left attached to the
camera body or battery charger, a minute current will flow
even if the power is turned OFF. This will result in
overdischarge and the battery may no longer be useable.
• Store the battery in a cool place with the battery cover
attached. We recommend a dry place with a surrounding
temperature of +15°C (+59°F) to +25°C (+77°F). Avoid
storing 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 to
charge the battery before use.
• The battery can be charged within this camera body using
the AC adapter supplied with the AC-71L (page 23). The
battery takes about five hours to charge.
• This rechargeable battery does not need to be fully
discharged or exhausted before being charged.
• The battery may feel warm after it has been charged or
immediately after being used. This is normal and not a
malfunction.
• The battery can be charged at temperatures between 0°C
(+32°F) and +45°C (+113°F), but should be charged
between +10°C (+50°F) and +30°C (+86°F) to obtain
maximum battery performance.
• Do not recharge a fully charged battery.
Caution when disposing a battery
Batteries are included with this product. When
they are no longer useable, you should not throw
them away. Instead, properly dispose of them as
small chemical waste.
13
Using Your Camera Correctly (continued)
Notes On Handling the AC Adapter
Be sure to use only the AC adapter provided with your camera. 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 4 onwards and the notes described
below.
* 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. (Page 26)
