Notes on using the camera  
Internal memory and “Memory  
Stick Duo” media back up  
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.  
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  
When the battery level becomes low, the lens  
might stop moving. Insert a charged battery  
pack and turn on the camera again.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.

Superimposing dates on images using PMB:  
With the supplied “PMB” software installed on a PC (page 37), you can directly superimpose the  
date on an image. However, note that when images with a superimposed date are printed, the  
date may be duplicated depending on print settings. For details on “PMB”, see the “PMB Guide”

following places  
In an extremely hot, cold or humid place  
In places such as in a car parked in the sun,  
the camera body may become deformed and  
this may cause a malfunction.  
On operating temperatures  
Your camera is designed for use under the  
temperatures between 0°C and 40°C (32°F and  
104°F). Shooting in extremely cold or hot  
places that exceed this range is not  
recommended.  
Under direct sunlight or near a heater  
The camera body may become discolored or  
deformed, and this may cause a malfunction.  
In a location subject to rocking vibration  
Near strong magnetic place  
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.  
In sandy or dusty places  
Be careful not to let sand or dust get into the  
camera. This may cause the camera to  
malfunction, and in some cases this  
malfunction cannot be repaired.  
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.  
On carrying  
Do not sit down in a chair or other place with  
the camera in the back pocket of your trousers  
or skirt, as this may cause malfunction or  
damage the camera.

be sure to charge this rechargeable battery  
before using the camera.  
However, even if this rechargeable battery is  
not charged, you can still use the camera, but  
the date and time will not be indicated.
