IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS For your protection, please read these safety instructions completely before operating the appliance, and keep this manual for future reference. Carefully observe all warnings, precautions and instructions on the appliance, or the one described in the operating instructions and adhere to them.

[ Power Sources This set should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of electrical power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company. For those sets designed to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

[ Polarization This set may be equipped with a polarized ac power cord plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by forcing it in.

[ Overloading Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or convenience receptacles beyond their capacity, since this can result in fire or electric shock.

[ Object and Liquid Entry Never push objects of any kind into the set through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the set.

[ Attachments Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.

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 32) 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.

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.

Battery life and number of images you can record/view

The numbers shown in the following tables assume a fully charged battery pack (supplied) is used at an ambient temperature of 25 C (77 F). The numbers shown for images you can record/view are approximations and allow for changing of the Memory Stick Duo as necessary. Note that the actual numbers may be less than those indicated in the table depending on the conditions of use.

[ When shooting still images

Shooting in the following situations: [REC Mode] is set to [Normal] [AF Mode] is set to [Single]. [SteadyShot] is set to [Shooting]. Shooting once every 30 seconds. The zoom is switched alternately between the

W and T ends. The flash strobes once every two times. The power turns on and off once every ten

times. The measurement method is based on the CIPA

standard. (CIPA: Camera & Imaging Products Association)

The battery life and the number of images do not change, regardless of image size.

[ When viewing still images

Viewing single images in order at about three second intervals

[ Notes on the battery pack Battery capacity decreases over time and

through repeated use. The battery life and the number of images you

can record/view are decreased under the following conditions: The surrounding temperature is low. The flash is used frequently. The camera has been turned on and off many

times. The zoom is used frequently. The brightness of LCD Backlight is set to up. [AF Mode] is set to [Monitor]. [SteadyShot] is set to [Continuous]. The battery power is low. [Face Detection] is set to [On].
