ONotes

• When you use the camera on the

rechargeable lithium ion battery, make sure to use the fully charged one, which pre\’ents you from missing to record one-time events due to batteiy shortage.

To resume power, set the POWER /Function dial to "OFF," and then set it to "CAMERA" or "PLAY," or press the shutter button gently.

• If you remove the rechargeable lithium ion battery or disconnect the AC power adapter during recording or playback,

image data may get damaged. Make sure to set the POWER/Function dial to "OFF" first, then remove the

rechargeable lithium ion battery or disconnect the AC power adapter.

BIf “CHARGE BATTERY“ is displayed

If "CHARGE BATTERY" is displayed while using the camera, and the power is turned off automatically, stop using the rechargeable battery in the camera. Use the AC power adapter instead or replace the battery with the fully charged one. You can turn on the power again with the discharged battery, but the battery soon becomes dead and the power is turned off abruptly before the camera shuts off normally. This may cause the data damage. Make sure to use the AC power adapter or replace the battery with the charged one.

"I Rechargeable lithium ion battery

1.IP-10 (page 6)

3 1 louse current, using the AC power

adapter AC-DSCl (page 7)

QOn the AC power adapter

Use only the supplied adapter AC-DSCl. Do not use any other AC power adapter.

Polarity of the plug

ONote

Do not pull on the cord of the AC power adapter. If you pull it forcibly, the plug may disconnect from the wall outlet. If you extend the cord fully to reach a wall outlet, the plug may easily become disconnected.

Tips for using the rechargeable lithium ion battery

On charging Recharge the battery whenever you like

You do not have to discharge it before recharging.

Recharge the battery before use.

The battery is always discharging even

when it is not in use after charging. Therefore, you should charge the battery right before using the camera.

On recording with batteries Have sufficient battery power to do 2 to 3 times as much recording as you have planned.

On battery life Battery life is shorter in a cold environment

Battery efficiency is decreased, and the battery is used up more cpoickly, if you are recording in a cold environment

(lower than 50° F (10° C)). To make the

battery life longer, it is recommended

to tty the following:

• Keep the battery warm in a pocket, etc., and install it right before using the camera. When using a body warmer, be careful the warmer does not touch the battery.

• Charge the battery as follows: Install the battery into the camera and connect the AC power adapter to the camera and a wall outlet. You should charge the battery at temperatures from 50 °F to 86°F (from 10 C° to 30° C). Lower temperatures require a longer charging time.

Page 49

If the battery is new or has not been used for a long time, it may not be charged completely until you charge

and discharge it several time.

Battery care

Keep the battery in a cool place.

Remove the battery from the camera if you do not use the camera for a long time, and keep it in a cool place.

On the terminals

Always keep the terminals clean.

If any solid objects or liquid fall onto the terminals, remove or wipe it a)mpleldv with a cotton swab, etc. Then repeatedly install and remove the battenr a few times. This improves the contact condition.

When to ciispose of the battery pack?

'i ou can discharge and charge the battery about 300 times repeatedly at

normal temperatures. If the battery life is reduced by about half, replace if with a new batter)’ pack.

Additional information

Precautions

On moisture condensation

If the camera is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense inside or outside the camera. Should this occur, the camera will not operate properly. In this case, remove the rechargeable lithium ion battery and open the lid of the battery compartment and wait about an hour for the moisture to evaporate.

How to prevent moisture condensation

When bringing the camera from a cold place to a warm place, put the camera in a plastic bag and allow it to adapt to room conditions over a period of time. ® Be sure to tightly seal the plastic

bag containing the camera.

@ Remove the bag when the air

temperature inside it has reached the temperature surrounding it

(about 1 hour).

On cleaning

Cleaning the LCD screen

Wipe the screen surface with the cleaning cloth (supplied) or a LCD cleaning kit (not supplied) to remove fingerprints, dust, etc.

Cleaning the camera surface

Clean the camera surface with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water. Do not use any type of solvent such as alcohol or benzene as it may mar the

finish of the casing.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your camera, please coasult your nearest Sony dealer.

Using your camera abroad

Power sources

You can use your camera in any country with the supplied AC power adapter within lOU V to 24U V .AC. 50/ 60 Hz. If the plug of the AC power adapter does not match the wall outlet, use an AC plug adapter.
