T est shooting
Do not wrap cloth or other material around the camera when using it. This
will cause internal heat build-up, and may lead to breakdown.
When transporting the camera, pack it in its original box and packing
materials to protect it from shock during transportation.
• Use a blower to remove dust from the lens or optical filter.
• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the external surfaces of the camera. If it is
very dirty, use a soft cloth dampened with a small quantity of neutral
detergent, then wipe dry.
• Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, benzene or thinners as they
may damage the surface finish.
Before shooting, you should always take a few test shots and review them
to see that the camera is functioning normally.

Battery pack
PC Card
You may take pictures for your personal enjoyment with this digital still
camera. However, it is illegal to take pictures of items protected by
copyright laws without the permission of the copyright owner. Keep this in
mind when shooting in concerts, shows and exhibitions, etc.–many of the
items on display are protected by copyrights.
The AC-V615 power adapter (not supplied) and the DK-315 connecting
cord (supplied with the AC-V615) is recommended for use with the DKCID1.
• The camera uses a lithium-ion battery. Use the correct Sony battery (e.g.,
NP-F530, NP-F730, NP-F930). Charge the battery first.
• The camera uses a PC card (ATA) (JEIDA and PCMCIA standards) for
data storage.
• Use a Sony PC card (DKA-MC10F, DKA-MC2F).
Do not use a SRAM card or a modem card. Using such cards may damage
the camera and/or cards.
Picture data
• The camera plays back the pictures taken by the camera itself.
• If you need to erase image data, erase the data in the camera, not from
your computer. If you try to erase data from your computer, the camera
may be damaged.
• Image files are in MS-DOS1) format. Some erase functions will not work
correctly, otherwise.
Note
If you use a PC card that was not formatted by the camera (i.e., the folder
was not created by the camera), you cannot replay the image from the PC
card. Similarly, a PC card formatted by the camera will not be compatible
with another manufacturer.

PC card data filing system
The image files are in MS-DOS format. The computer that has a PC card
reader or a PC card slot can directly read the files.
Some computers may have some restrictions.
The data saved in the PC card has the format described below.
When you mount a PC card (MS-DOS format) in the camera, the camera
automatically creates a folder named IMID1_D5. The camera saves image
data in this folder; the data file has the following format:
File name: XXXXXXXX.JPG
Assign the user ID using the first 4 digits.
The last 4 digits are an image number which is set by the camera
automatically.
For details on the user ID, see Page 51.
Memory card
Available memory cards
Use a Sony memory card: DKA-MC2F, DKA-MC10F.
DKA-MC2F and DKA-MC10F comply with JEIDA Ver4.2 (PCMCIA
Rel2.1).
.
Precautions using the memory card
• Do not remove the card or cut the power while the camera is accessing the
memory card (saving, erasing, initializing or replaying). Removing the
memory card or cutting the power while the camera is accessing the
memory card may damage the card and/or data.
• Check with your dealer or Sony, before using a non-Sony card. Using a
non-Sony card may damage the camera. (Even if you use a non-Sony
memory card, thoroughly check for compatibility first.)
• Do not bend, drop, or expose the card to shock. Because memory cards
are sensitive, they may be easily damaged.
• Do not use or store a memory card where exists strong static electricity or
electrical noise.
• Do not use or store a memory card in areas where temperatures or
humidity are high, or corrosive conditions exist.
• Keep the connector clean.
• Use the specially designed case for transport. Carrying a memory card
without the case may result in damage.

Features
High quality still pictures
• The camera produces high-resolution pictures thanks to an all-pixel
reading 1/3 inch CCD1) (PSCCD) with 450,000 effective picture dots. The
PSCCD color filter also uses a color checker alley filter for natural color
reproduction.
• The camera uses an electronic shutter for longer shutter life and highresolution pictures. Speeds can be set from 1/15 to 1/4000 sec.
Multiple shooting modes
• The DKC-ID1 digital still camera has all the functions needed for full
automatic operation—a 12 × zoom lens for macro, telephoto and wide
applications, auto focus, programmed automatic exposure and a built-in
flash. Optional telephoto and wide lenses are also available.
• Pictures can be viewed through the 113,000-pixel color viewfinder. This
lets you confirm your pictures on the spot and helps you decide what
other pictures you need to take.
• The camera uses a PC card (ATA) that complies with JEIDA and
PCMCIA standards. High quality, high resolution color still images are
recorded on the PC card (DKA-MC10F/DKA-MC2F).
You can digitally save images using the JPEG method. Select the JPEG
compression method as described below.
A digital image processing system is superior to an analog system because
it provides a better image (no jitters2) or skews3)). You can directly process
digital color images using your personal computer or workstation.

Normal mode simultaneously in one PC card.
• If the card has another file or if there are some single erases, the
remaining shots may differ.
• You can take the image with a user ID and an image number.
• The image files are in MS-DOS format. The computer that has a PC card
reader or a PC card slot can directly read the files.
Some computers may have restrictions.

Preparations – 5 Inserting/initializing a PC card
Cautions
• If you mount a PC card in the camera’s card
slot, the camera will automatically check the
card format. If the PC card is not compatible,
the camera will ask you if you want to
initialize the card. You cannot use this card
unless you initialize it.
• If you initialize an old card, any data will be
lost. Since an old card may contain important
data, be sure to make a back-up from your
personal computer as needed.

• The time required for initializing a card differs
depending on the type of card.
1 Set the POWER switch to SAVING or ON.
Press the green button and slide to the
either position.

2 Insert the PC card slowly into the back of
the camera.
Note
When inserting the card, make sure you
insert it with the front facing upwards. Do
not force the card in; you may damage the
camera or the card.
If the card is being inserted used for the
first time, the word “init” will appear on the
LCD.
For details on initializing the PC card, see
page 21.
3 If you insert a PC card in the slot, the
camera will access the card. While the card
is being accessed, the LED on the side of
the slot will turn on (red).
When the camera is ready, the remaining
number of shots and the image number will
be displayed on the LCD.
Caution
If you insert a PC card in the camera, the
camera will automatically create a folder
(IMID1_D5). Do not erase or rename this
folder from your computer. Doing so, you
cannot use the card with the camera.
