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-M25 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.

● 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.
Recommended Battery Options for Maximum Performance and Enjoyment
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)
- Alkaline (Not Rechargeable)
Battery performance in general (especially Alkaine) 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. The use of mangnese type batteries is nut suitable for this product due to the low
number of pictures that can be taken with this type of battery. 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. 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 from battery leakage. (Once the batteries have been removed from the camera, you will need to
re-set the date and time within the SET-UP menu.)

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.

E.V. (Exposure Compensation)
☞ E.V. (Exposure Compensation) ➲ Additional Information, Glossary (Page 101)
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).
(preview photography ➲ Page 59)
Effective Subjects and Set Values
● Positive (+) Compensation
• Copying of printed text (black characters on white paper) (+1.5)
• Backlit portraits (+0.6 to +1.5)
•Very bright scenes (such as snowfields) and highly reflective subjects (+0.9)
• Shots made up predominantly of sky (+0.9)
● Negative (–) Compensation
• Spotlit subjects, particularly against dark backgrounds (–0.6)
• Copying of printed text (white characters on black paper) (–0.6)
• Scenes with low reflectivity, such as shots of green or dark foliage (–0.6)

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.

IMPORTANT
• The number of images that can be photographed in the table above is only for reference, we do not
secure them.
• The size of the data to be recorded varies according to the amount of detail in the subject image. So, the
number of images that can be photographed after an image is recorded decreases. Sometimes this
amount decreases by two images.

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