Clean the screen surface with an LCD 
cleaning kit (not supplied) to remove 
fingerprints, dust, etc. 

Wipe the lens with a soft cloth to remove 
fingerprints, dust, etc. 

Clean the camera surface with a soft cloth 
slightly moistened with water, then wipe 
the surface with a dry cloth. Do not use any 
type of solvent such as thinner, alcohol or 
benzine as this may damage the finish or the 
casing. 

The camera is designed for use within a 
temperature range of 0° – 40° (32°F and 
104°F). Shooting in extremely cold or hot 
locations 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. This moisture 
condensation may cause a malfunction of 
the camera. 

• 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. 

When bringing the camera from a cold 
place to a warm place, seal the camera in a 
plastic bag and leave it in the new location 
for about an hour. Remove the plastic bag 
when the camera has adapted to the new 
temperature. 

Turn off the camera and wait about an hour 
for the moisture to evaporate. Note that if 
you attempt to shoot with moisture 
remaining inside the lens, you will be 
unable to record clear images. 

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 
continually 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 one month it becomes 
completely discharged. In this case, be sure 
to charge this rechargeable button battery 
before using the camera. 
Note that 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. 

Connect the camera to a wall outlet (mains) 
using the AC power adapter or install a 
charged battery pack, and leave the camera 
for 24 hours or more with the POWER 
button set to OFF. 

“Memory Stick” is a new compact, portable 
and versatile IC recording medium with a 
data capacity that exceeds the capacity of a 
floppy disk. 
There are two types of “Memory Stick”: an 
ordinary “Memory Stick” and a 
“MagicGate Memory Stick.” 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. 

You cannot record or delete images when the 
write-protect tab is set to LOCK. The position 
or the shape of the write-protect tab may differ 
depending on the “Memory Stick” you use. 

Do not remove the “Memory Stick” while 
reading or writing data. 

Data may be damaged 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. 

When you carry or store the “Memory Stick,” 
put it in the case supplied with it. 

Do not touch the terminals of a “Memory 
Stick” with your hand or a metal object. 

Do not strike, bend or drop a “Memory Stick.” 

Do not disassemble or modify a “Memory 
Stick.”

Do not expose the “Memory Stick” to water. 

• Battery performance decreases in low-

temperature surroundings, and the battery 
life is shortened under such 
circumstances. To use the battery longer, 
we recommend you keep the battery in a 
pocket close to your body to warm it, and 
insert it in your camera just before you 
start shooting. 

• If you use the LCD screen or shoot a lot 

using the zoom, the battery power will be 
used up faster.

• We recommend having spare batteries 

handy for two or three times the expected 
shooting time, and try test shooting 
before the actually using the camera. 

• Do not expose the battery to water. The 

battery is not water-resistant.
