(Settings) t (Main Settings) t [Language Setting].

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.

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

Sony cannot compensate for failure to record or loss or damage of recorded content due to a malfunction of the camera or recording media, etc.

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.

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.)
