Notes on using your camera

Notes on types of “Memory Stick” that 
can be used (not supplied)
You can use a “Memory Stick Duo” with 
your camera. A “Memory Stick” cannot be 
used with your camera.

• For details on “Memory Stick Duo”, see 

page 161.

Notes on the “InfoLITHIUM” battery 
pack

• Charge the NP-FM500H (supplied) battery pack 

before using the camera for the first time. 
(t step 1 in “Read This First”)

• The battery pack can be charged even if it is not 

completely discharged. Also, 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 your camera, then store it in a 
cool, dry place. This is to maintain the battery 
pack functions (page 163).

• For details on the battery pack, see page 163.

No compensation for contents of the 
recording
The contents of the recording cannot be 
compensated for if recording or playback is not 
possible due to a malfunction of your camera or a 
memory card, etc.

Back up recommendation

To avoid the potential risk of data loss, always 
copy (back up) data to other medium.

Notes on recording/playback

• Before you record one-time events, make a trial 

recording to make sure that the camera is 
working correctly.

• This camera is designed to be dust- and 

moisture-resistant but not to be waterproof and 
splash-proof. When using the camera in the rain, 
be careful not to get the camera and lens wet. 
Clean the camera after use if the camera 
becomes dirty. With water, sand, dust, salt, etc., 
left on the camera, the camera may cause a 
malfunction. Read also “Precautions” (page 
168).

• Do not look at the sun or a strong light through a 

removed lens or the viewfinder. This may cause 
irrecoverable damage to your eyes. Or it may 
cause a malfunction of your camera.

• Do not use the camera near a location that 

generates strong radio waves or emits radiation. 
The camera may not be able to record or play 
back properly.

• Using the camera in sandy or dusty locations 

may cause malfunctions.

• If moisture condensation occurs, remove it 

before using the camera (page 168).

• Do not shake or strike the camera. In addition to 

malfunctions and an inability to record images, 
this may render the memory card unusable, or 
cause image data breakdown, damage or loss.

• 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.

• Keep the camera, supplied accessories, etc., out 

of the reach of children. The battery pack, the 
accessory shoe cap, etc., may be swallowed. If 
such a problem occurs, consult a doctor 
immediately.
