Precautions

Do not carry the camera by holding

the disc cover

Do not touch the rotating disc

This may cause serious injuries.

When the pickup lens is dirty and the

camera cannot read any image, clean

the pickup lens using a commercially

available blower.

Cleaning the LCD screen or

viewfinder

Wipe the screen surface with a

cleaning cloth (not supplied) or an

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 32 °F to

104 °F (0 °C to 40 °C). 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, “DISC ERROR”

appears and 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 camera

lens, you will be unable to record clear

images.

Do not touch the pickup lens inside the

disc cover. And do not open the disc

cover except when inserting or

removing a disc to keep dust out.

•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 (mains lead) 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

(mains lead) 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 receivers and video equipment

•The unit becomes warm during use.

This is not a malfunction.

•Do no place the unit in locations that

are:

— Extremely hot or cold

— Dusty or dirty

— Very humid

— Vibrating

•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 140 °F (60 °C),

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.

•Attach the battery pack to the camera

securely.

Your camera is supplied with a

vanadium-lithium battery installed so

as to retain the date and time, etc.,

regardless of the setting of the POWER

switch. The vanadium-lithium battery

is always charged as long as you are

using your camera. The battery,

however, will get discharged gradually

if you do not use your camera. It will

be completely discharged in about six

months if you do not use your camera

at all. Even if the vanadium-lithium

battery is not charged, it will not affect

the camera operation. To retain the

date and time, etc., charge the battery if

the battery is discharged.

Charging the vanadium-lithium

battery:

•Connect your camera to house

current (mains) using the AC power

adaptor supplied with your camera,

and leave your camera with the

power turned off for more than 24

hours.

•Or install the fully charged battery

pack in your camera, and leave your

camera with the power turned off for

more than 24 hours.

If any problem occurs, unplug your

camera and contact your nearest Sony

dealer.

On discs

Be sure to use only 8 cm CD-Rs. You

cannot read or write data on other type

discs that does not correspond to this

camera.

•Do not clean a disc using a cleaner

before recording. Use a

commercially available blower to

remove dust.

•If fingerprints, dust, drop of water, or

oil makes the blue side of a disc dirty,

the camera may not properly record

an image on the disc. You should

handle a disc with a lot of care.

•If a disc does become dirty, wipe it in

a straight line from center to edge

with a soft dry cloth or a soft cloth

lightly moistened with a mild

detergent solution. You can use a

commercially available CD cleaner.

•Do not use any solvent (benzine,

thinner, static protection product,

record cleaner, etc.) to clean a disc.

to the effects of static electricity or

noise.

•Do not attach any material on the surface

of a disc. This causes a nonuniform

rotating speed and this may cause a

malfunction of the camera.

•You can write only on the label surface of a

disc. When you write, use only a felt-tip

marker and do not touch it until it is in dry

state, and do not heat it. Do not use a

sharp-pointed tool, such as a ballpoint pen.

•Hold a disc at the edges while pressing the

center hole lightly. Do not touch the blue

side of a disc.

•When you carry or store a disc, put it in its

case.

•Do not strike, bend or drop a disc.

•Do not rub the edge of a disc.

•If you play back the disc on which any

image has not been recorded using a CD-

ROM drive, the CD-ROM drive may

malfunction or the disc may be scratched.

Using your camera

abroad

Power sources
