Notes on using the camera

Internal memory and “Memory 

Stick Duo” back up

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.

Notes on recording/playback
• 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 37) bef
ore 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.

• 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 37).

• 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.

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.

• When the battery level becomes low, the lens 

might stop moving. Insert a charged battery 
pack and turn on the camera again.

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.
