Notes on the types of memory card that you can use (sold separately)

The following memory cards are compatible with this camera: “Memory Stick PRO Duo” media, “Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo” media, “Memory Stick Duo” media, SD memory card and SDHC memory card. MultiMediaCard cannot be used. A memory card with a capacity up to 32 GB have been confirmed to operate properly with the camera.

In this manual, the term “Memory Stick Duo” media is used to refer to “Memory Stick PRO Duo” media, “Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo” media and “Memory Stick Duo” media.

On “Memory Stick Duo” media

For recording movies, it is recommended that you use a “Memory Stick Duo” media of 1 GB or larger marked with: – (“Memory Stick PRO

Duo” media)

– (“Memory Stick PRO-

HG Duo” media)

For details on “Memory Stick Duo” media, see page 121.

When using a “Memory Stick Duo” media with standard sized “Memory Stick” media slot

You can use the “Memory Stick Duo” media by inserting it into the “Memory Stick Duo” media Adaptor (sold separately).

Notes on the battery pack

• Charge the battery pack (supplied) before using the camera for the first time.

• You can charge the battery pack even if it is not completely discharged. In addition, even if the battery pack is not fully charged, you can use the partially charged capacity of the battery pack as is.

• If you do not intend to use the battery pack for a long time, use up the existing charge and remove it from the camera, then store it in a cool, dry place. This is to maintain the battery pack functions.

• For details on the usable battery pack, see page 123.

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.

Black, white, red, blue or green dots

• Exposing the LCD screen or the lens to direct sunlight for long periods may cause malfunctions. Be careful when placing the camera near a window or outdoors.

• Do not press against the LCD screen. The screen may be discolored and that may cause a malfunction.

• Images may trail across on the LCD screen in a cold location. This is not a malfunction.

• Be careful not to bump the movable lens, and be careful not to apply force to it.

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.

zIf you shoot a still image of a subject that is difficult

to focus on

• The shortest shooting distance is approximately 10 cm (4 inches) (W)/100 cm (3 ft 3 3/8 inches) (T)

(from the lens).

• When the camera cannot focus on the subject automatically, the AE/AF lock indicator changes to

slowly flashing and the beep does not sound. Either recompose the shot or change the focus setting (page 48).

Focusing may be difficult in the following situations:

– It is dark and the subject is distant. – The contrast between the subject and the background is poor. – The subject is seen through glass. – The subject is moving quickly. – There is reflective light or shiny surfaces. – The subject is backlit or there is a flashing light.

Notes

• If you cannot pan the camera across the entire subject within the given time, a gray area occurs in the composed image. If this happens, move the camera fast to record a full panoramic image.

• Since several images are stitched together, the stitched part will not be recorded smoothly.

• Under low light conditions, panoramic images may be blurred.

• Under lights that flicker such as fluorescent light, the brightness or color of the combined image is not always the same.

• When the whole angle of panoramic shooting and the angle in which you fixed the focus and exposure with AE/AF lock are extremely different in brightness, color and focus, the shooting will not be successful. If this happens, change the lock angle and shoot again.

• Sweep Panorama is not suitable for the following situations: – Objects are moving – Objects are too close to the camera – Image with a repeating pattern such as tiles and image with little contrast such as sky, sandy beach, or

lawn – Image with constant change such as waves or water falls – Image with the sun or electric lights, etc. that are much brighter than surroundings

• You cannot create panoramic images in the following situations: – You pan the camera too fast or too slow – There is too much camera shake
