NP-FM55H is the battery supplied with DSLR-A100

batteries such as NP-FM50 and can be used with
Cyber-shot and Handycam. However, the remaining
time indication shown in the camera is incorrect.

Official statement:
We do not recommend this battery for Cyber­shot or Handycam.

1. NP-FM55H (FAQ)

Q: Can I use NP-FM55H with DSC-R1?
A: Yes. However, the battery remaining time indication is

not correct and we do not recommend it.

Q: How long does DSC-R1 operate when using NP­FM55H?

A: Recording time / number of recordable images is
more than NP-FM50.
However, NP-FM55H is designed for DSLR-A100 series,
so we do not disclose the recording time / number of
recordable images when used with Cyber-shot and
Handycam.
