About water-proof, dust-proof, and shock-proof performance of the camera

This camera is equipped to be water-proof, dust-proof and shock-proof. Damage caused from misuse, abuse or failure to properly maintain the camera is not covered by the limited warranty.

• This camera is water-proof/dust-proof equivalent to IEC60529 IP68. The camera is operable up to a water depth of 10 m (33 ft) for 60 minutes.

• Do not subject the camera to pressurized water, such as from a tap.

• Do not use in hot springs.

• Use the camera in the recommended operating water temperature range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).

• The shock resistance of this camera has passed the in-house drop test from a height of 1.5 m (5 ft) onto a 5-cm (2 inches) thick plywood board, which conforms to the MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock standards (test method standard of the U.S. Defense Department).

* Depending on use conditions and circumstances, no guarantee is made regarding

damage to, malfunction of, or the water-proof performance of this camera.

• As for dust-proof/shock-proof performance, there is no guarantee that the camera will not become scratched or dented.

• Sometimes water-proof performance is lost if the camera is subjected to a strong shock such as from being dropped. We recommend the camera be inspected at an authorized repair shop for a fee.

• Accessories supplied do not meet water-proof, dust-proof, and shock-proof specifications.

Notes before using the camera under/near water

• Make sure that no foreign matter such as sand, hair, or dirt gets inside the battery/memory card cover. Even a small amount of foreign matter may lead to water entering the camera.

• Confirm that the sealing gasket and its mating surfaces have not become scratched. Even a small scratch may lead to water entering the camera. If the sealing gasket or its mating surfaces become scratched, take the camera to an authorized repair shop to have the sealing gasket replaced for a fee.

1 Sealing gasket 2 Surface contacting the

sealing gasket

• If dirt or sand gets on the sealing gasket or its mating surfaces, wipe the area

clean with a soft cloth that will not leave behind any fibers. Prevent the sealing gasket from becoming scratched by touching it while charging a battery or using a cable.

• Do not open/close the battery/memory card cover with wet or sandy hands or

near water. There is a risk this will lead to sand or water getting inside. Before opening the cover, perform the procedure described in “Cleaning after using the camera under/near water”.

• Open the battery/memory card cover with the camera completely dry.

• Always confirm that the battery/memory card cover has been securely

locked.

Notes on using the camera under/near water

• Do not subject the camera to shock such as from jumping into water.

• Do not open and close the battery/memory card cover while under/near

water.

• This camera sinks in water. Place your hand through the wrist strap to

prevent the camera from sinking.

• Faint, white, circular spots may appear in under-water flash photos due to

reflections off of floating objects. This is not a malfunction.

• If water drops or other foreign matter is present on the lens, you will be

unable to record clear images.

Cleaning after using the camera under/near water

• Always clean the camera with water after use

within 60 minutes, and do not open the battery/memory card cover before cleaning is finished. Sand or water may get inside places where it cannot be seen. If not rinsed, waterproof performance will be degraded.

• Allow the camera to sit in pure water poured

into a cleaning bowl for about 5 minutes. Then, gently shake the camera, press each button, slide the zoom lever inside the water, to clean away any salt, sand or other matter lodged around the buttons.

• After rinsing, wipe away water drops with a soft cloth. Allow the camera to

dry completely in a shady location with good ventilation. Do not blow dry with a hair dryer as there is a risk of deformation and/or degraded waterproof performance.

• Wipe away water drops or dust on the memory card/battery cover with a soft

dry cloth.

• This camera is constructed to drain water. Water will drain from openings around the ON/OFF (Power) button, zoom lever, and other controls. After removing from water, place the camera on a dry cloth for a while to allow water to drain.

• Bubbles may appear when the camera is placed under water. This is not a malfunction.

• The camera body may become discolored if it comes in contact with sunscreen or suntan oil. If the camera does come in contact with sunscreen or suntan oil, quickly wipe it clean.

• Do not allow the camera to sit with salt water inside or on the surface. This may lead to corrosion or discoloration, and degradation of water-proof performance.

• To maintain the water-proof performance, we recommend that once a year you take the camera to your dealer, or to an authorized repair shop, to have the sealing gasket of the battery/memory card cover replaced for a fee.

Charging error or charging paused temporarily because the camera is not within the proper temperature range

Notes

• If the Charge lamp on the camera flashes when the AC Adaptor is connected to the wall outlet (wall socket), this indicates that charging is temporarily stopped because the temperature is outside the recommended range. When the temperature gets back within the appropriate range, the charging resumes. We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F).

• The battery pack may not be effectively charged if the terminal section of the battery is dirty. In this case, wipe any dust off lightly using a soft cloth or a cotton swab to clean the terminal section of the battery.

• Connect the AC Adaptor (supplied) to the nearest wall outlet (wall socket). If malfunctions occur while using the AC Adaptor, disconnect the plug from the wall outlet (wall socket) immediately to disconnect from the power source.

• When charging is finished, disconnect the AC Adaptor from the wall outlet (wall socket).

• Be sure to use only genuine Sony brand battery packs, dedicated USB cable (supplied) and AC Adaptor (supplied).

Charging time (Full charge)

The charging time is approximately 115 min. using the AC Adaptor (supplied).

Charging by connecting to a computer

The battery pack can be charged by connecting the camera to a computer using the dedicated USB cable.

To a USB jack

Notes

• Note the following points when charging via a computer:

– If the camera is connected to a laptop computer that is not connected to a power

source, the laptop battery level decreases. Do not charge for an extended period of time.

– Do not turn on/off or restart the computer, or wake the computer to resume from

sleep mode when a USB connection has been established between the computer and the camera. The camera may cause a malfunction. Before turning on/off, or restarting the computer or waking the computer from sleep mode, disconnect the camera and the computer.

– No guarantees are made for charging using a custom-built computer or a

modified computer.

Supplying power

The camera can be supplied with power from the wall outlet (wall socket) by connecting to the AC Adaptor (supplied), using the dedicated USB cable (supplied). You can import images to a computer without worrying about draining the battery pack by connecting the camera to a computer using the dedicated USB cable. In addition, you can use the AC Adaptor AC-UD10 (sold separately) or ACUD11 (sold separately) to supply power when shooting.

Notes

• Power cannot be supplied when the battery pack is not inserted in the camera.

• When the camera is connected directly to a computer or to a power outlet using the supplied AC Adaptor, power supply is available only in playback mode.

and/or bright dots (white, red, blue or green) may appear on the screen. These dots are a normal result of the manufacturing process, and do not affect the recording.

On the overheat protection

Depending on the camera and battery temperature, you may be unable to record movies or the power may turn off automatically to protect the camera. A message will be displayed on the screen before the power turns off or you can no longer record movies. In this case, leave the power off and wait until the camera and battery temperature goes down. If you turn on the power without letting the camera and battery cool enough, the power may turn off again or you may be unable to record movies.

On charging the battery

If you charge a battery that has not been used for a long time, you may be unable to charge it to the proper capacity. This is due to the battery characteristics, and is not a malfunction. Charge the battery again.
