Precautions

Do not leave the camera in the

following places

•In extremely hot place, such as in a car

parked in the sun. The camera bo@ may

become deformed or this may cause a

malfi.mction.

• Under direct stmlight or near a heater.

The camera bo@ may become deformed

or this may cause a malfi.mction.

• On rocking vibration

• Near strong magnetic place

• On sandy or in dus_' place

Do not let sand get into the camera. Sand

or dust may cause the camera to

malfanction and sometimes this

malfi.mction cannot be repaired.

Cleaning

Cleaning the LCD screen

Clean the screen surface with an LCD

cleaning kit (not supplied) to remove

fingerprints, dust. etc.

Cleaning the lens

Wipe the lens with a soft cloth to remove

fingerprints, dust. etc.

Cleaning the camera surface

Clean the camera sm-±'ace x_ith a soft cloth

slightly moistened with water, then wipe the

sturface with a dry cloth. Do not use the

following as this may damage the finish or

the casing.

Thilmer

Benzine

Alcohol

Diposable cloth

Volatile insecticide

( ontact with robber or vinyl for a long

time

Note on operating temperature

The camera is designed for use within a

temperature range of 0'C to 40_C (32'T to

104°F). Shooting in extremely cold or hot

locations that exceed this range is not

recommended.

On moisture condensation

If the camera is brought directly from a cold

to a wam_ location, or is placed in a vez_-

damp room, moisture may condense inside

or outside the camera. This moisture

condensation may cause a malfi.mction of

the camera.

Moisture condensation occurs easily

when:

•The camera is brought from a cold

location such as a ski slope into a wm_ly

heated room.

• The camera is taken from an air-

conditioned room or car interior to the hot

outdoors, etc.

To prevent moisture condensation

\Vhen 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.

If moisture condensation occurs

Turn oft" the camera and wait about an hour

for the moistture to evaporate. Note that if

you attempt to shoot with moisture

remaining inside the lens, you will be

unable to record clear images.

The internal rechargeable button

battery

This camera has an internal rechargeable

button batte W for maintaining the date and

time and other settings regardless of

whether the power is on or off.

This rechargeable breton 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 batte W

before using the camera.

Note that even if this rechargeable button

batte W is not charged, you can still use the

camera as long as you do not record the date

and time.

How to charge

Comlect the camera to a wall outlet (wall

socket) using the AC Adaptor (not

supplied), or install charged batteries, and

leave the camera for 24 hours or more with

the power turned off.

The "Memory Stick"

"Memo W Stick" is a new compact, poltable

and versatile IC recording lnedium with a

data capacity that exceeds the capacity of a

floppy disk.

You can use the "Memo W Stick" as an

external recording media that can be

attached or removed as well as exchanging

data between the units.

There are two types of"Memory Stick": an

ordina W "Memo W Stick" and a

"MagicGate Memory Stick" that are

equipped with the MagicGate copyright

protection technology. You can use both

types of"Memo W Stick" with your camera.

However. because your calnera does not

support the MagicGate standards, data

recorded with your camera is not subject to

MagicGate* copyright protection.

You can also use the "Memory Stick Duo"

and "Memory Stick PRO" with the camera.

The nickel-metal

hydride batteries

Effective use of the battery

• Battex_- performance decreases in low-

temperature surroundings, and the batter?,

life is shoxtened under such

circumstances. To use the batte D' longer,

we recommend you keep the battex3-

stored in the supplied barrel3- case, in a

pocket close to your bo@ to warm it. and

insext it in your camera just before you

strut shooting.

•If you shoot a lot using the zoom and

flash, the battex 3' power will be used up

faster.

• We recolranend having spare batteries

handy i\)r two or three times the expected

shooting time, and tx_- test shooting

before the actually using the camera.

• Do not expose the batte&' to water. The

batter?, is not water-resistant.

Battery life

• The battery lif_ is limited. Battex_"

capacity decreases little by little as you

use it more and more, and as time passes.

When the battex 7 operating time seems to

have been considerably shortened, a

probable cause is that the battex 7 has

reached the end of its life.

• The batter?, life varies depending on

storage, operating conditions, and

environment, and is different for each

batte_'.

106

The battery charger

• Do not charge any other batteries except

the Son?" nickel hydride battery using the

supplied battery charger. If you charge

other t?-pes ofbattel W (manganese,

alkaline, lithium, ni-cd batteries, etc.),

this may cause leakage, explosion, or

overheating of the battery, and personal

scald or injuD, may be caused.

• Do not recharge a fully charged nickel

hydride battery. This may cause leakage,

explosion, or overheating of the batter?-.

• When charging a high capacity battelw

other than the supplied battely using the

supplied batte R" charger, the 15.lllcapacity

of the batte R" may not be available.

• When the CHARGE lamp flashes, the

batter?, may cause a malfunction if an

unspecified batter?, was inserted. First,

verify that the batter?, is specified for use

with the charger. If the battely is

specified for use with the charger, remove

all the batteries from the batter?, charger,

insert other batteries, such as ne_ ones.

and check that the battely charger works

properly. When the battelw charger works

properly, the batteries may be the cause

of the malftmction.
