Notes

• Charge the batteries (supplied) before using the camera for the first time.

• The LCD screen is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology so over 99.99% of the 

pixels are operational for effective use. However, there may be some tiny black points and/or bright 
points (white, red, blue or green in color) that constantly appear on the LCD screen. These points are 
normal in the manufacturing process and do not affect the recording in any way.

• The camera is a precision instrument. Be careful not to bump the lens or the LCD screen, and not to 

apply force to it. Attach the shoulder strap to prevent the camera from damage by being dropped, etc. 
“User’s Guide/Troubleshooting” (page 20).

• Illustrations used in this manual are of the DSC-H2 unless noted otherwise.

Additional information on this product and answers to frequently asked questions can be 
found at our Customer Support Website.

Prepare the batteries

• Connect the battery charger to an easily accessible wall outlet (wall socket) close by.

• Even if the CHARGE lamp is not lit, the battery charger is not disconnected from the AC power source 

(mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet (wall socket). If some trouble occurs while using the 
battery charger, immediately shut off the power by disconnecting the plug from the wall outlet (wall socket).

• When charging is finished, disconnect the power cord (mains lead) from the wall outlet (wall socket), and 

remove the Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries from the battery charger.

• Time required to charge fully depleted Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries (supplied) at a temperature of 25°C 

(77°F) is approximately 6 hours. Charging may take longer under certain circumstances or conditions.

• The CHARGE lamp may remain lit longer than six hours, but this is not a malfunction.
