Precautions/This  productPrecautions
On the internal rechargeable battery
This camera has an internal rechargeable battery for maintaining the date  and time and
other settings  regardless of whether the power is on or off, or whether the battery pack is
charged or discharged. This rechargeable battery is continually charged as long as you are
using the product. However, if you use the product for only short periods, it gradually
discharges. If you do not use the product at all  for about  2 month(s)  it becomes completely
discharged. In this case, be sure  to charge this rechargeable battery before using the
product. However, even if this rechargeable battery is not charged, you can still  use the
product as long as you do not record the date  and time.
Charging method of the internal rechargeable battery
Insert  a charged battery pack into the product, or connect  the product to a wall outlet  (wall
socket) using the AC Adaptor  (supplied), and leave the product for 24 hours  or more with the
power off.

Notes on the battery pack
Charging the battery pack
Charge the battery pack (supplied) before using the product for the first time.
The charged battery pack will discharge little by little even if you do not use it. Charge the
battery pack each time before you use the product so that you do not miss any
opportunities to shoot  images.
You can charge the battery pack even if it is not completely discharged. You can use a
partially  charged battery pack.
If the Charge lamp flashes and charging is canceled  halfway, remove the battery pack 
						

							once then  reinsert it.
We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10 °C
and 30 °C (50  °F  and 86 °F). The battery pack may not be effectively  charged in
temperatures outside this range.
When you connect  this product and a laptop computer that is not connected to a power
source, the laptop’s  battery charge may decrease. Do not charge this product using the
laptop computer for too long.
Do not turn on/restart a computer,  wake a computer from sleep mode, or turn off a
computer while this product is connected to the computer via USB cable. Doing so may
cause a malfunction of this product. Disconnect  the product and the computer before
performing the above operations.
We do not guarantee  charging if you are  using a self-built or modified computer.
Charging time (Full charge)
The charging time is approximately 310 minutes  using the AC adaptor (supplied). The above
charging time applies when charging a fully depleted battery pack at a temperature of 25°C
(77°F).  Charging may take longer depending on conditions  of use and circumstances.
Effective use of the battery pack
Battery performance decreases in low  temperature environments. So in cold places, the
operational  time of the battery pack is shorter. To ensure longer battery pack use, we
recommend putting  the battery pack in your  pocket  close to your  body to warm  it up, and
insert  it in the product immediately before you start  shooting. If there are  any metal
objects such as keys in your  pocket, be careful  of causing  a short-circuit.
The battery pack will run  down quickly if you use the flash or zoom  frequently.
We recommend preparing spare  battery packs and taking trial shots before taking the
actual shots.
Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water -resistant.
Do not leave the battery pack in extremely hot places, such as in a car or under direct
sunlight.
If the battery terminal is dirty, you may not be able to turn on the product or the battery
pack may not be properly charged. In that case, clean the battery by lightly wiping off any
dust using a soft cloth or a cotton swab.
Remaining battery indicator
The remaining battery indicator appears on the screen.
 
A: Battery level high 
						

							B: Battery exhausted
It takes about  one minute  for the correct remaining battery indicator to appear.
The correct remaining battery indicator may not be displayed under some  operating or
environmental conditions.
If the remaining battery time does not appear on the screen, press  the  DISP (Display
Setting)  button to display it.
How to store the battery pack
To maintain the battery pack’s function, charge the battery pack and then  fully discharge it
in the product at least once a year  before storing  it. Store the battery pack in a cool, dry
place.
To use the battery pack up, leave the product in slide show playback  mode  until the
power goes off.
To prevent staining  the terminal, short-circuiting, etc., be sure  to use a plastic bag to keep
away from metal  materials when carrying or storing  the battery pack.
On battery life
The battery life is limited. If you use the same  battery repeatedly,  or use the same  battery
for a long period, the battery capacity decreases gradually. If the available  time of the
battery is shortened  significantly,  it is probably time to replace the battery pack with a new
one.
The battery life varies according to how the battery pack is stored and the operating
conditions  and environment  in which each battery pack is used.
[230] How  to Use
Precautions/This  productPrecautions
Charging the battery pack
The supplied AC Adaptor  is dedicated to this product. Do not connect  with other
electronic devices. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
Make  sure  to use a genuine Sony AC Adaptor.
If the products Charge lamp flashes while charging, remove the battery pack being
charged, and then  insert  the same  battery pack firmly back into the product. If the Charge
lamp flashes again, this may indicate  a faulty battery or that a battery pack other than  the
specified  type has been inserted. Check that the battery pack is the specified  type. 
If the battery pack is the specified  type, remove the battery pack, replace it with a new or
different one and check that the newly inserted battery is charging correctly. If the newly
inserted battery is charging correctly, the previously  inserted battery may be faulty.
If the Charge lamp flashes even if the AC Adaptor  is connected to the product and the
wall outlet  (wall socket),  this indicates  that charging has stopped temporarily  and is on 
						

							standby. Charging stops and enters standby  status automatically when the temperature is
outside of the recommended operating temperature. When the temperature returns to the
appropriate range, charging resumes and the Charge lamp lights up again. We
recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10°C to
30°C (50°F to 86°F).
