Internal memory and memory card back up
Do not turn off the camera, remove the batteries, or remove the memory card
while the access lamp is lit. Otherwise, the internal memory data or the
memory card may be damaged. Be sure to make a backup copy to protect your
data.

Notes on recording/playback
• To ensure stable operations of the memory card, we recommend that you use
this camera to format any memory card being used with this camera for the
first time. Note that formatting will erase all data recorded on the memory
card. This data cannot be restored. Be sure to back-up any important data to a
PC or other storage location.
• Before you start recording, make a trial recording to make sure that the
camera is working correctly.
• The camera is neither dust-proof, nor splash-proof, nor water-proof. Read
“Precautions” (page 23) before operating the camera.
• Avoid exposing the camera to water. If water enters inside the camera, a
malfunction may occur. In some cases, the camera cannot be repaired.
• Do not aim the camera at the sun or other bright light. It may cause the
malfunction of the camera.
• Do not use the camera near a location that generates strong radio waves or
emits radiation. Otherwise, the camera may not properly record or play back
images.
• Using the camera in sandy or dusty locations may cause malfunctions.
• 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.
• Clean the flash surface before use. The heat of flash emission may cause dirt
on the flash surface to become discolored or to stick to the flash surface,
resulting in insufficient light emission.
Notes on the LCD screen and lens
• The LCD screen is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology
so 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 LCD screen. These dots are a normal result of the manufacturing process,
and do not affect the recording.
• When the battery level becomes low, the lens might stop moving. Insert new
batteries or charged Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries and turn on the camera
again.
On camera’s temperature
Your camera and battery may get warm due to continuous use, but it is not a
malfunction.
GB

On image data compatibility
• The camera conforms with DCF (Design rule for Camera File system)
universal standard established by JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information
Technology Industries Association).
• Sony does not guarantee that the camera will play back images recorded or
edited with other equipment, or that other equipment will play back images
recorded with the camera.
Warning on copyright
Television programs, films, videotapes, and other materials may be
copyrighted. Unauthorized recording of such materials may be contrary to the
provisions of the copyright laws.
No compensation for damaged content or recording failure

On the battery
• Avoid rough handling, disassembling, modifying, physical shock, or impact such
as hammering, dropping or stepping on the battery.
• Do not use a deformed or damaged battery.
• Do not mix a used battery together with a new battery or different types of
batteries.
• Remove the batteries from the camera when you do not operate the camera for
long periods, or when the batteries are dead.
On cleaning
Cleaning the LCD screen
Wipe the screen surface with an LCD cleaning kit (sold separately) to remove
fingerprints, dust, etc.
Cleaning the lens
Wipe the lens with a soft cloth to remove fingerprints, dust, etc.
Cleaning the camera surface
Clean the camera surface with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water, then wipe
the surface with a dry cloth. To prevent damage to the finish or casing:
– Do not expose the camera to chemical products such as thinner, benzine, alcohol,
disposable cloths, insect repellent, sunscreen or insecticide.
– Do not touch the camera with any of the above on your hand.
– Do not leave the camera in contact with rubber or vinyl for a long time.
On operating temperatures
Your camera is designed for use under the temperatures between 0°C and 40°C
(32°F and 104°F). Shooting in extremely cold or hot places that exceed this range is
not recommended.
On the internal rechargeable backup battery
This camera has an internal rechargeable battery for maintaining the date and time
and other settings regardless of whether the power is on or off.
This rechargeable battery is continually charged as long as you are using the camera.
However, if you use the camera for only short periods, it discharges gradually, and if
you do not use the camera at all for about one month it becomes completely
discharged. In this case, be sure to charge this rechargeable battery before using the
camera.
However, even if this rechargeable battery is not charged, you can still use the
camera, but the date and time will not be indicated.
Charging method of the internal rechargeable backup battery
Insert batteries with enough power remaining in the camera, and then leave the
camera for 24 hours or more with the power off.

Troubleshooting
Check the items below, and refer to “Cyber-shot Handbook”
(PDF).
Batteries and power
The remaining-charge indicator is incorrect, or sufficient
remaining-charge indicator is displayed but the power runs out
too quickly.
• This phenomenon occurs when you use the camera in an extremely hot or cold
location.
• When using alkaline batteries/Oxy Nickel Primary Battery (sold separately), the
remaining-charge indicator may not be correct.
• The batteries are discharged. Insert new batteries or charged Nickel-Metal
Hydride batteries (sold separately).
• When using the Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries (sold separately), the poles of
batteries or the terminals of the battery cover are dirty so the batteries are not
charged sufficiently. Clean them with a cotton swab, etc.
• When using the Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries (sold separately), the remainingcharge indicator differs from the current one due to the memory effect, etc. Fully
discharge and then charge the batteries to correct the display.
• The batteries are dead. Replace them with new ones.
The batteries run down too quickly.
• You are using the camera in an extremely cold location.
• The batteries are dead. Replace them with new ones.
• When using the Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries (sold separately), charge them
sufficiently.
Camera power is turned off automatically when you open the
battery/memory card cover.
• This is not a malfunction. Turn off the camera before you open the battery/
memory card cover.
Cannot turn on the camera.
• Insert the batteries correctly.
• The batteries are discharged. Insert new batteries or charged Nickel-Metal
Hydride batteries (sold separately).
• The batteries are dead. Replace them with new ones.
GB
GB
25
The power turns off suddenly.
• When [Power Save] is set to [Standard] or [Stamina], if you do not operate the
camera for a certain period of time while the power is on, the camera turns off
automatically to prevent wearing down the batteries. Turn on the camera again.
• The batteries are discharged. Insert new batteries or charged Nickel-Metal
Hydride batteries (sold separately).
Shooting still images/movies
Cannot record images.
• When images cannot be recorded into a memory card but are recorded into the
internal memory, even though a memory card has been inserted into the camera,
make sure that the memory card has been fully inserted.
• Check the free capacity of the internal memory or the memory card. If it is full,
do one of the following:
– Delete unnecessary images.
– Change the memory card.
• You cannot record images while charging the flash.
• When recording movies, it is recommended that you use the following memory
cards:
– “Memory Stick PRO Duo” media, “Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo” media
– SD memory card or SDHC memory card (Class 2 or faster)
• Set the mode switch to (Still Image) when shooting still images.
• Set the mode switch to (Movie) when shooting movies.
White, purple or other streaks appear or the entire screen appears
reddish when shooting a bright subject.
• This phenomenon is called smearing. This is not a malfunction. Although this is
not recorded in standard still images, this phenomenon is recorded as streaks and
irregularities when shooting movies. (“Bright subject” means locations where
there is a large difference in brightness such as in the case of the sun or an electric
light at night.)
