pack, or remove the "Memory Stick Duo"
media while the access lamp is lit. Otherwise,

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 57) 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.

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 camera's temperature
Your camera and battery may get warm due to
continuous use, but it is not a malfunction.
On the overheat protection
Depending on the camera and battery
temperature, you may be unable to record
movies or the power may turn off
automatically to protect the camera.
A message will be displayed on the LCD
screen before the power turns off or you can
no longer record movies.
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.
