Notes on using your personal computer
“Memory Stick”
• “Memory Stick” operations on your camera cannot be assured if the “Memory Stick” has been
formatted on your personal computer.
• Do not optimize the “Memory Stick” on a Windows machine. This will shorten the “Memory
Stick” life.
• Do not compress the data on the “Memory Stick.” Compressed files cannot be played back on
your camera.
Software
• Depending on your application software, the file size may increase when you open a still image
file.
• When you load an image modified using the supplied retouch software from your personal
computer to the camera or when you directly modify the image on the camera, the image
format will differ so the “FILE ERROR” message may appear and you may be unable to open
the file.
Communications with your personal computer
Communications between your camera and your personal computer may not recover after
recovering from Suspend, Resume, or Sleep.

Precautions
On cleaning
Cleaning the LCD screen
Wipe the screen surface with a cleaning
cloth (not 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, then wipe the
surface dry. Do not use any type of solvent
such as thinner, alcohol or benzene as this
may damage the finish or the casing.
After using your camera at the
seashore or other dusty locations
Clean your camera carefully. Otherwise, the
salty air may corrode the metal fittings or
dust may enter the inside of your camera,
causing a malfunction.
Note on operating
temperature
Your camera is designed for use between the
temperatures of 32˚F and 104˚F (0˚C and
40˚C). Recording in extremely cold or hot
places that exceed this range is not
recommended.
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.
Moisture condensation occurs
easily when:
• The camera is brought from a cold location
such as a ski slope into a warmly heated
room.
• The camera is taken from an air-
conditioned room or car interior to the hot
outdoors, etc.
How to prevent moisture
condensation
When bringing the camera from a cold place
to a warm place, seal the camera in a plastic
bag and allow it to adapt to conditions at the
new location over a period of time (about an
hour).
If moisture condensation occurs
Turn off the camera and wait about an hour
for the moisture to evaporate. Note that if
you attempt to record with moisture
remaining inside the lens, you will be
unable to record clear images.
On AC power adaptor
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet
(mains) when you are not using the unit for
a long time.
• To disconnect the power cord (mains lead),
pull it out by the plug. Never pull the
power cord (mains lead) itself.
• Do not operate the unit with a damaged
cord or if the unit has been dropped or
damaged.
• Do not bend the power cord (mains lead)
forcibly, or place a heavy object on it. This
will damage the cord and may cause fire or
electrical shock.
• Prevent metallic objects from coming into
contact with the metal parts of the
connecting section. If this happens, a short
may occur and the unit may be damaged.
• Always keep metal contacts clean.
• Do not disassemble the unit.
• Do not apply mechanical shock or drop the
unit.
• While the unit is in use, particularly during
charging, keep it away from AM receivers
and video equipment. AM reception and
video operation are disturbed.
• The unit becomes warm during use. This is
not a malfunction.
• Do not place the unit in locations that are:
—Extremely hot or cold
—Dusty or dirty
—Very humid
—Vibrating

On battery pack
• Use only the specified charger with the
charging function.
• To prevent accident from a short circuit, do
not allow metal objects to come into
contact with the battery terminals.
• Keep the battery pack away from fire.
• Never expose the battery pack to
temperatures above 140˚F (60˚C), such as
in a car parked in the sun or under direct
sunlight.
• Keep the battery pack dry.
• Do not expose the battery pack to any
mechanical shock.
• Do not disassemble nor modify the battery
pack.
• Install the battery pack to the camera
securely.
• Charging while some capacity remains
does not affect the original battery
capacity.
If any problem occurs, unplug your camera
and contact your nearest Sony dealer.
On internal rechargeable
button battery
This camera has an internal rechargeable
button battery for maintaining the date and
time and other settings regardless of
whether the power is on or off. This
rechargeable button battery is constantly
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
half a year it becomes completely
discharged. In this case, be sure to charge
this rechargeable button battery before using
the camera.
However, even if this rechargeable button
battery is not charged, you can still use the
camera as long as you do not record the date
and time.
Charging method
Connect the camera to a wall outlet (mains)
with the AC power adaptor, or install a
charged battery pack, and leave the camera
for 24 hours or more with the POWER
switch set to OFF.
On “Memory Sticks”
“Memory Stick” is a new compact, portable
and versatile IC recording medium with a
data capacity that exceeds a floppy disk.
“Memory Stick” is specially designed for
exchanging and sharing digital data among
“Memory Stick” compatible products.
Because it is removable, “Memory Stick”
can also be used for external data storage.
There are two types of “Memory Sticks”:
general “Memory Sticks” and “MagicGate
Memory Sticks” that are equipped with the
MagicGate* copyright protection
technology.
You can use both types of “Memory Stick”
with your camera. However, because your
camera does not support the MagicGate
standards, data recorded with your camera is
not subject to MagicGate copyright
protection.
∗ MagicGate is copyright protection
technology that uses encryption
technology.
Notes
• Do not remove the “Memory Stick” while
reading or writing data.
• Data may be damaged if:
—you remove the “Memory Stick” or turn
off your camera while reading or
writing data.
—you use the “Memory Stick” in a
location subject to the effects of static
electricity or noise.
• Do not attach any other material than the
supplied label on the labeling position.
• Attach the label so that it does not stick out
from the proper attachment location.
• When you carry or store the “Memory
Stick,” put it in its supplied case.
• Do not touch the terminals of a “Memory
Stick” with your hand or a metal object.
• Do not strike, bend or drop the “Memory
Stick.”
• Do not disassemble or modify the
“Memory Stick.”
• Do not allow the “Memory Stick” to get
wet.

Precautions for Replacement of CCD Imager
• The CD-262 board mounted as a repair part is not equipped
with a CCD imager.
When replacing this board, remove the CCD imager from the
old one and mount it onto the new one.
• If the CCD imager has been replaced, carry out all the
adjustments for the camera section.
• As the CCD imager may be damaged by static electricity from
its structure, handle it carefully like for the MOS IC.
In addition, ensure that the receiver is not covered with dusts
nor exposed to strong light.

2-1.ADJUSTING REMOTE COMMANDER
The adjusting remote commander is used for changing the calculation coefficient in signal processing, EVR data, etc. The adjusting remote commander performs bi-directional communication
with the unit using the remote commander signal line (LANC).
The resultant data of this bi-directional communication is written
in the non-volatile memory.
1. Used Adjusting Remote Commander
1) Connect the adjusting remote commander to the CN709 on
the SY-58 board via CPC-9 jig (J-6082-393-C).
2) Adjust the HOLD switch of the adjusting remote commander
to “HOLD” (SERVICE position).
3) Turn on the power with the POWER switch of the unit.
If it has been properly connected, the LCD on the adjusting remote commander will display as shown in Fig. 5-2-1.

2-2.DATA PROCESS
The calculation of the adjusting remote commander display data
(hexadecimal notation) are required for obtaining the adjustment
data of some adjustment items. In this case, after converting the
hexadecimal notation to decimal notation, calculate and convert
the result to hexadecimal notation, and use it as the adjustment
data. Table 5-2-2. indicates the hexadecimal notation- the decimal notation, calculation table.
Note : ( ) indicate the adjusting remote control unit display.
(Example) In the case that the adjusting remote control unit display are BD (bd).
As the upper digit of the hexadecimal notation is B (b), and the lower digit is D (d), the intersection “189” of
the1 and 2 in the above table is the decimal notation to be calculated.
