Notes on using the camera
Internal memory and “Memory
Stick Duo” media back up
Do not turn off the camera, remove the battery
pack, or remove the “Memory Stick Duo”
media while the access lamp is lit. Otherwise,
the internal memory data or “Memory Stick
Duo” media may be damaged. Be sure to make
a backup copy to protect your data.
Notes on recording/playback
• 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 52) 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.

• 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 a charged battery
pack 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 the overheat protection
Depending on the camera and battery
temperature, the power may turn off
automatically to protect the camera.
A message will be displayed on the LCD
screen before the power turns off.
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.

Precautions
Do not use/store the camera in the
following places
• In an extremely hot, cold or humid place
In places such as in a car parked in the sun,
the camera body may become deformed and
this may cause a malfunction.
• Under direct sunlight or near a heater
The camera body may become discolored or
deformed, and this may cause a malfunction.
• In a location subject to rocking vibration
• Near strong magnetic place
• In sandy or dusty places
Be careful not to let sand or dust get into the
camera. This may cause the camera to
malfunction, and in some cases this
malfunction cannot be repaired.
On carrying
Do not sit down in a chair or other place with
the camera in the back pocket of your trousers
or skirt, as this may cause malfunction or
damage the camera.
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 moisture condensation
If the camera is brought directly from a cold to
a warm location, moisture may condense
inside or outside the camera. This moisture
condensation may cause a malfunction of the
camera.
If moisture condensation occurs
Turn off the camera and wait about an hour for
the moisture to evaporate. Note that if you
attempt to shoot with moisture remaining
inside the lens, you will be unable to record
clear images.
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
