Be
sure
to
read
this
information
in
conjunction
with
Before
You
Use
This
Product
“Safety
Notes”
(=>P.11)
to
ensure
that
you
use
your
camera
correctly.
H
Places
to
Avoid
Do
not
store
or
use
the
camera
in
the
following
types
of
locations:
@
Places
subject
to
strong
vibrations
@
Places
subject
to
strong
magnetic
fields
(such
as
places
near
motors,
transformers
or
magnets)
@
For
long
periods
in
contact
with
chemicals
such
as
pesticides
or
next
to
rubber
or
vinyl
products
H
Do
not
expose
the
camera
to
sand.
The
PDR-MS
is
particularly
adversely
affected
by
sand.
In
sandy
locations
such
as
beaches
or
deserts,
or
in
locations
where
there
is
wind
borne
sand,
ensure
that
the
camera
is
not
exposed
to
sand.
This
can
cause
faults
that
may
be
irreparable.
H
Notes
on
Condensation
Due
to
a
sudden
change
in
temperature,
such
as
the
move
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.
In
this
event,
remove
the
=
SmartMedia
and
wait
a
short
time
before
using
it
again.
W
Cleaning
Your
Camera
©
Use
a
blower
brush
to
remove
dust
from
the
lens
and
LCD
surface
and
then
wipe
lightly
with
a
soft,
dry
cloth.
If
any
soiling
remains,
apply
a
small
amount
of
lens
cleaning
liquid
to
a
piece
of
lens
cleaning
paper
and
wipe
gently.
®
Do
not
scratch
hard
objects
against
the
lens,
LCD
monitor
screen
or
viewfinder
as
these
surfaces
are
easily
damaged.
©
Clean
the
body
of
the
camera
with
a
soft
dry
cloth.
Do
not
use
volatile
substances
such
as
thinners,
benzine
or
insecticide,
as
these
may
react
with
camera
body
and
cause
deformation
or
remove
the
coating.
H
Using
the
Camera
Overseas
When
travelling
overseas,
do
not
place
your
camera
in
the
check-in
baggage.
Baggage
handling
at
airports
may
subject
baggage
to
violent
shocks,
and
the
camera
may
be
damaged
internally
even
when
no
external
damage
is
visible.
Using
the
Battery
Before
you
use
the
camera,
read
the
battery
instructions
and
take
care
to
observe
the
safety
precautions
provided
in
the
instructions.
The
PDR-M3
camera
uses
a
rechargeable
lithium-ion
battery.
Note
the
points
below
when
using
this
battery.
Read
the
“Safety
Notes”
carefully
to
ensure
that
you
use
the
battery
correctly.
*
When
shipped,
the
NP-100
is
not
fully
charged.
Always
charge
the
battery
before
using
it.
E
Battery
Features
@
The
battery
gradually
loses
its
charge
even
when
not
used.
Use
a
battery
that
has
been
charged
recently
(in
the
last
day
or
two)
to
take
pictures.
©
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
shot
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.
i
Charging
the
Battery
@
The
battery
can
be
charged
using
the
PDR-ACM1
AC
Adapter
supplied
with
the
PDR-M3.
The
battery
takes
approximately
7
hours
to
charge.
If
you
use
the
BC-100
Battery
Charger
(sold
separately),
the
battery
can
be
charged
in
approximately
2.5
hours.
@
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
perfectly
normal.
@
The
battery
can
be
charged
at
temperatures
between
0°C
and
+40°C
(+32°F
and
+104°F),
but
should
be
charged
between
+10°C
and
+30°C
(+32°F
and
+86°F)
to
obtain
maximum
battery
performance.
®
Do
not
recharge
a
fully
charged
battery.
Battery
Life
At
normal
temperatures,
this
battery
can
be
used
at
least
300
times.
If
the
battery
runs
out
quickly,
this
indicates
that
the
battery
has
reached
the
end
of
its
effective
life
and
should
be
replaced.
W
To
ensure
that
you
obtain
optimum
battery
performance:
@
Always
keep
the
battery
contacts
clean.
©
Store
the
battery
in
a
cool,
dry
place.
Storing
the
battery
for
long
periods
in
a
hot
location
can
shorten
the
battery
life.
If
the
battery
is
used
for
a
long
period,
the
camera
body
and
the
battery
itself
will
become
warm.
This
is
normal
and
is
not
a
malfunction.
Use
the
AC
adapter
supplied
with
the
camera
if
you
are
taking
picture
or
viewing
images
for
a
long
period
of
time.
C
Adapter
Use
only
the
PDR-ACM1
AC
Adapter
(supplied)
with
your
PDR-M3
Digital
Still
Camera.
The
use
of
an
AC
adapter
other
than
the
PDR-ACM1
could
result
in
damage
to
your
PDR-
M3
Digital
Still
Camera.

This
is
normal
and
does
not
indicate
a
fault.
©
Do
not
use
the
camera
near
a
radio
as
it
could
interfere
with
radio
signal
reception.
©
Ensure
