[ Cleaning  
Unplug the set from the wall outlet before  
Service  
cleaning or polishing it. Do not use liquid cleaners  
or aerosol cleaners. Use a cloth lightly dampened  
with water for cleaning the exterior of the set.  
[ Damage Requiring Service  
Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer  
servicing to qualified service personnel under the  
following conditions:  
– When the power cord or plug is damaged or  
frayed.  
– If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen  
into the set.  
Installation  
[ Water and Moisture  
Do not use power-line operated sets near water –  
for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen  
sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a  
swimming pool, etc.  
– If the set has been exposed to rain or water.  
– If the set has been subject to excessive shock by  
being dropped, or the cabinet has been  
damaged.  
– If the set does not operate normally when  
following the operating instructions. Adjust  
only those controls that are specified in the  
operating instructions. Improper adjustment of  
other controls may result in damage and will  
often require extensive work by a qualified  
technician to restore the set to normal operation.  
[ Power-Cord Protection  
Route the power cord so that it is not likely to be  
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or  
against them, paying particular attention to the  
plugs, receptacles, and the point where the cord  
exits from the appliance.  
[ Accessories  
– When the set exhibits a distinct change in  
performance – this indicates a need for service.  
Do not place the set on an unstable cart, stand,  
tripod, bracket, or table. The set may fall, causing  
serious injury to a child or an adult, and serious  
damage to the set. Use only a cart, stand, tripod,  
bracket, or table recommended by the  
manufacturer.  
[ Servicing  
Do not attempt to service the set yourself as  
opening or removing covers may expose you to  
dangerous voltage or other hazards.  
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.  
[ Ventilation  
The slots and openings in the cabinet are provided  
for necessary ventilation. To ensure reliable  
operation of the set, and to protect it from  
overheating, these slots and openings must never  
be blocked or covered.  
– Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth  
or other materials.  
– Never block the slots and openings by placing  
the set on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar  
surface.  
[ Replacement parts  
When replacement parts are required, be sure the  
service technician has used replacement parts  
specified by the manufacturer that have the same  
characteristics as the original parts.  
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,  
electric shock, or other hazards.  
[ Safety Check  
Upon completion of any service or repairs to the  
set, ask the service technician to perform routine  
safety checks (as specified by the manufacturer)  
to determine that the set is in safe operating  
condition.  
– Never place the set in a confined space, such as  
a bookcase, or built-in cabinet, unless proper  
ventilation is provided.  
– Do not place the set near or over a radiator or  
heat register, or where it is exposed to direct  
sunlight.  
[ Lightning  
For added protection for this set during a lightning  
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for  
long periods of time, unplug it from the wall  
outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system.  
This will prevent damage to the set due to  
lightning and power-line surges.

Notes on using the camera  
[ Internal memory and “Memory  
Stick Duo” back up  
[ Notes on the LCD screen and  
lens  
Do not turn off the camera, remove the battery  
pack, or remove the “Memory Stick Duo” while  
the access lamp is lit. Otherwise, the internal  
memory data or “Memory Stick Duo” may be  
damaged. Be sure to make a backup copy to  
protect your data.  
• 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.  
[ Notes on recording/playback  
• Before you start recording, make a trial  
recording to make sure that the camera is  
working correctly.  
• When the battery level becomes low, the lens  
might stop moving. Insert a charged battery  
pack and turn on the camera again.  
• The camera is neither dust-proof, nor splash-  
proof, nor water-proof. Read “Precautions”  
(page 35) 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.  
[ 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.  
• 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 35).  
• 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.  
[ 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.
