with the default settings under the following conditions:
– Using the battery pack at an ambient temperature of 25°C (77°F).
– Using Sony Memory Stick PRO Duo (Mark2) media (sold separately)
• The numbers for “Shooting (still images)” are based on the CIPA standard and
shooting under the following conditions:
(CIPA: Camera & Imaging Products Association)
– One picture is taken every 30 seconds.
– The power is turned on and off once every ten times.
– The flash strobes once every two times.
– The zoom is switched alternately between the W and T ends.
• The number of minutes for movie shooting is based on the shooting under the
following conditions:
– The image quality is set to AVCHD 60i 17M(FH)/50i 17M(FH)
– Battery life based on non-stop shooting until the limit (29 minutes) has been
reached, and then continued by pressing the MOVIE (Movie) button again.

• The recordable time of movies varies because the camera is equipped with VBR
(Variable Bit-Rate), which automatically adjusts image quality depending on the
shooting scene. When you record a fast-moving subject, the image is clearer but
the recordable time is shorter because more memory is required for recording.
The recordable time also varies depending on the shooting conditions, the subject
or the image quality/size settings.
Notes on using the camera
Functions built into this camera
• This manual describes 1080 60i-compatible devices and 1080 50i-compatible
devices.
To check whether your camera is a 1080 60i-compatible device or 1080 50icompatible device, check for the following marks on the bottom of the camera.
1080 60i-compatible device: 60i
1080 50i-compatible device: 50i
• This camera is compatible with 1080 60p or 50p-format movies. Unlike standard
recording modes up to now, which record in an interlacing method, this camera
records using a progressive method. This increases the resolution, and provides a
smoother, more realistic image. Movies recorded in 1080 60p/1080 50p format
can be played back only on 1080 60p/1080 50p-supported devices.
On use and care
Avoid rough handling, disassembling, modifying, physical shock, or impact such as
hammering, dropping, or stepping on the product. Be particularly careful of the lens.

working correctly.
• The camera is neither dust-proof, nor splash-proof, nor water-proof.
• Do not directly expose the lens to beams such as laser beams. That may damage
the image sensor and cause the camera to malfunction.
• Do not expose the camera to sunlight or shoot sunward for a long time. The
internal mechanism may be damaged.
• Do not aim the camera at the sun or other bright light. It may cause the
malfunction of the camera.
• If moisture condensation occurs, remove it before using the camera.
• Do not shake or strike the camera. It may cause a malfunction and you may not be
able to record images. Furthermore, the recording media may become unusable or
image data may be damaged.

Notes on the monitor and lens
• The monitor is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology, and over
99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, some tiny black
and/or bright dots (white, red, blue or green) may appear on the monitor. These
dots are a normal result of the manufacturing process, and do not affect the
recording.
• If the monitor gets wet from water droplets, etc., wipe it off immediately with a
soft cloth. Leaving the monitor wet will cause the surface of the monitor to
deteriorate or degrade, and malfunctions may occur.
• Take care that your fingers or other objects are not caught in the lens when it is
operating.
Notes on the flash
• Do not carry the camera by the flash unit, or use excessive strength on it.
• If water, dust or sand get into the open flash unit, it may cause a malfunction.
• Take care that your finger is not in the way when pushing the flash down.
