focus is sharp. You can shoot a subject that is at least about 31 1/ 2 (80 cm) away from  
the lens surface in the telephoto position, or about 19 3/ 4 inch (50 cm) away in the  
wide-angle position. When the subject is too close to focus on, refer to page 32.  
The picture quality deteriorates as you go toward the “T” side. Set  
DIGITAL ZOOM to OFF in the MENU settings. Otherwise the digital zoom activates  
without notice (page 52).  
Digital zoom does not work for moving images. The optical zoom works up to ×5.

• Operations are confirmed when:  
You may not be able to copy the  
whole of 100 msdcf folder at once to  
the hard disk on the Macintosh. In  
this case, open the 100 msdcf folder  
first, and copy the contents in the  
folder.  
– you connect your camera directly  
to your personal computer with  
the USB cable (supplied), and the  
USB connector on your personal  
computer does not have any  
other connections  
– you connect the USB keyboard  
and mouse which are provided as  
standard to your personal  
computer, and connect your  
camera to your personal  
computer with the USB cable  
(supplied) directly

Set the LOCK switch on the  
“Memory Stick” to off.  
To play back an MPEG file, install  
Active Movie Player (Direct Show)  
or Media Player.  
For playing back a file recorded in  
MOVIE or VOICE mode, first copy  
it to the hard disk of your personal  
computer. If you play back the file  
from a “Memory Stick”, the picture  
and sound may break off.  
Operations are not confirmed if:  
– the USB connectors on your  
personal computer have more  
than one connection  
– you use a hub  
– you connect other equipment  
with USB cables at the same time  
except for the USB keyboard and  
mouse which are provided as  
standard  
Install Quick Time 3.2 or later to  
play back MPEG files.  
We cannot assure all the  
New “Memory Stick”-s are already  
formatted so that they can be used  
as storage media for your personal  
computer without the need for  
formatting them.  
However, when you format  
“Memory Stick”-s on your personal  
computer, note that:  
recommended Windows and  
Macintosh environments mentioned  
before.  
When the cables are connected to  
both the USB jack and the serial jack,  
the jack connected before the other  
one works.  
Disconnect the cable from one jack  
to make the other one available.  
Communications between your  
camera and your personal computer  
may not recover after recovering  
from Suspend, Resume, or Sleep.  
Use the AC power adaptor/ charger  
when your connect your camera to  
your personal computer. A  
malfunction such as a data error  
may occur since the battery  
discharges during communications.  
When using the Macintosh, connect  
the USB cable after your personal  
computer starts.  
– “Memory Stick” operations on  
your camera cannot be assured if  
the “Memory Stick” is formatted  
on a Windows machine. Format  
the “Memory Stick” on your  
camera again when you use it  
with your camera.  
– “Memory Stick”-s formatted on a  
Macintosh may not work. Do not  
format “Memory Stick” on a  
Macintosh on which the Mac OS  
is running.  
Do not optimize the “Memory  
Stick” on your personal computer. It  
may damage the flash memory.  
Do not compress the data on the  
“Memory Stick” on your personal  
computer. Compressed files cannot  
be played back on your camera.  
The Macintosh may become  
unstable if you delete the data in  
“Memory Stick” right after copying  
the data to the hard disk.
