Preparing the power supply
Charging the battery pack Your camera operates only with the InfoLITHIUM NP-FS11 battery pack* (S series). You cannot use any other battery pack.
To remove the battery pack Slide the battery pack in the direction opposite the v mark.
* What is InfoLITHIUM? InfoLITHIUM is a lithium ion battery pack which can exchange information such as battery consumption with compatible video equipment. This unit is compatible with the InfoLITHIUM battery pack (S series). InfoLITHIUM S series battery packs have the
mark. InfoLITHIUM is a trademark of Sony Corporation.
1 Connect the AC power adaptor/charger and the wall outlet (mains).
2 Insert the battery pack in the direction of the v mark. Slide the battery pack in the direction of the arrow. The CHARGE lamp lights up when charging begins. When the CHARGE lamp goes off, normal charge is completed. For full charge, which allows you to use the battery longer than usual, leave the battery pack inserted for about one hour after normal charge is completed.

Approximate battery life and number of images that can be recorded/played back with a fully charged battery pack at a temperature of 77F (25C), 640480 image size and in NORMAL recording mode. Numbers in parentheses indicate the time when you use a normally charged battery pack.
Recording at about 4-second intervals Playing back single images in order at about 3-second intervals

Approximate time that can be recorded with a fully charged battery pack at a temperature of 77F (25C) and 160112 image size. Numbers in parentheses indicate the time when you use a normally charged battery pack.
Notes The battery life and number of images will be decreased if you use your camera at low
temperatures, use the flash, repeatedly turn the power on/off or use the zoom. The capacity of the Memory Stick is limited. The above figures are a guide when you
continuously record/play back while replacing the Memory Stick. If sufficient battery remaining time is indicated but the power runs out soon, fully charge the
battery so that the correct battery remaining time appears. Do not expose the battery pack to water.

Notes The recommended shooting distance using the built-in flash is 31/32 feet to 8 1/3 feet (0.3 m to
2.5 m). Attaching a conversion lens (not supplied) may block the light from the flash or cause the lens
shadow to appear. You cannot use an external flash and the built-in flash at the same time. If the flash is closed when it should be used, the (no-flash) indicator appears in the LCD
screen. Auto red-eye reduction may not produce the desired red-eye reduction effects depending on
individual differences, the distance to the subject, if the subject does not see the pre-strobe, or other conditions. In addition, red-eye reduction effects are also difficult to obtain if you set the shutter to a slow speed in the PROGRAM AE shutter priority mode.
The flash effect is not obtained easily when you use forced flash in a bright location.

Precautions
Cleaning the LCD screen Wipe the screen surface with a cleaning cloth (not supplied) or a LCD cleaning kit (not supplied) to remove fingerprints, dust, etc.
Cleaning the camera surface Clean the camera surface with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water, then wipe the surface dry. Do not use any type of solvent such as thinner, alcohol or benzene as this may damage the finish or the casing.
After using your camera at the seashore or other dusty locations Clean your camera carefully. Otherwise, the salty air may corrode the metal fittings or dust may enter the inside of your camera, causing a malfunction.
Your camera is designed for use between the temperatures of 32F and 104F (0C and 40C). Recording in extremely cold or hot places that exceed this range is not recommended.
If the camera is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense inside or outside the camera. Should this occur, the camera will not operate properly.
Moisture condensation occurs easily when: The camera is brought from a cold location
such as a ski slope into a warmly heated room.
The camera is taken from an air- conditioned room or car interior to the hot outdoors, etc.
How to prevent moisture condensation When bringing the camera from a cold place to a warm place, seal the camera in a plastic bag and allow it to adapt to conditions at the new location over a period of time (about an hour).
If moisture condensation occurs Turn off the camera and wait about an hour for the moisture to evaporate. Note that if you attempt to record with moisture remaining inside the lens, you will be unable to record clear images.
Unplug the unit from the wall outlet (mains) when you are not using the unit for a long time.
To disconnect the power cord (mains lead), pull it out by the plug. Never pull the power cord (mains lead) itself.
Do not operate the unit with a damaged cord or if the unit has been dropped or damaged.
Do not bend the power cord (mains lead) forcibly, or place a heavy object on it. This will damage the cord and may cause fire or electrical shock.
Prevent metallic objects from coming into contact with the metal parts of the connecting section. If this happens, a short may occur and the unit may be damaged.
Always keep metal contacts clean. Do not disassemble the unit. Do not apply mechanical shock or drop the
unit. While the unit is in use, particularly during
charging, keep it away from AM receivers and video equipment. AM reception and video operation are disturbed.
The unit becomes warm during use. This is not a malfunction.
Do not place the unit in locations that are: Extremely hot or cold Dusty or dirty Very humid Vibrating
On cleaning
Note on operating temperature
On moisture condensation
On AC power adaptor
55
Use only the specified charger with the charging function.
To prevent accident from a short circuit, do not allow metal objects to come into contact with the battery terminals.
Keep the battery pack away from fire. Never expose the battery pack to
temperatures above 140F (60C), such as in a car parked in the sun or under direct sunlight.
Keep the battery pack dry. Do not expose the battery pack to any
mechanical shock. Do not disassemble nor modify the battery
pack. Install the battery pack to the camera
securely. Charging while some capacity remains
does not affect the original battery capacity.
If any problem occurs, unplug your camera and contact your nearest Sony dealer.
This camera has an internal rechargeable button battery for maintaining the date and time and other settings regardless of whether the power is on or off. This rechargeable button battery is constantly charged as long as you are using the camera. However, if you use the camera for only short periods it discharges gradually, and if you do not use the camera at all for about half a year it becomes completely discharged. In this case, be sure to charge this rechargeable button battery before using the camera. However, even if this rechargeable button battery is not charged, you can still use the camera as long as you do not record the date and time.
Charging method Connect the camera to a wall outlet (mains) with the AC power adaptor/charger, or install a charged battery pack, and leave the camera for 24 hours or more with the POWER switch set to OFF.
On Memory Sticks
Memory Stick is a new compact, portable and versatile IC recording medium with a data capacity that exceeds a floppy disk. Memory Stick is specially designed for exchanging and sharing digital data among Memory Stick compatible products. Because it is removable, Memory Stick can also be used for external data storage.
There are two types of Memory Sticks: general Memory Sticks and MagicGate Memory Sticks that are equipped with the MagicGate* copyright protection technology. You can use both types of Memory Stick with your camera. However, because your camera does not support the MagicGate standards, data recorded with your camera is not subject to MagicGate copyright protection.
MagicGate is copyright protection technology that uses encryption technology.
Notes Do not remove the Memory Stick while
reading or writing data. Data may be damaged if:
you remove the Memory Stick or turn off your camera while reading or writing data.
you use the Memory Stick in a location subject to the effects of static electricity or noise.
Do not attach any other material than the supplied label on the labeling position.
Attach the label so that it does not stick out from the proper attachment location.
When you carry or store the Memory Stick, put it in its supplied case.
Do not touch the terminals of a Memory Stick with your hand or a metal object.
Do not strike, bend or drop the Memory Stick.
Do not disassemble or modify the Memory Stick.
Do not allow the Memory Stick to get wet.
