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.
If moisture condensation occurs, remove it
before using the camera (page 52).
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.
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.
