Precautions
The set is not disconnected from the
AC power source (mains) as long as it
is connected to the wall outlet, even if
the set itself has been turned off.
Do not carry the camera by holding
thedisccover
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
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 0°Cto
40°C(32°Fto104°F). 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, 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 lens, you
will be unable to record clear images.

Additional information
Your camera is supplied with a built-in
rechargeable lithium battery installed
so as to retain the date and time, etc.,
regardless of the setting of the POWER
switch. The built-in rechargeable
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 one month if you
do not use your camera at all. Even if
the built-in rechargeable lithium
battery is not charged, it will not affect
thecameraoperation.Toretainthe
date and time, etc., charge the battery if
the battery is discharged.
Charging the built-in rechargeable
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/CD-
RWs. You cannot read or write data on
other type discs that do not correspond
to this camera.

oil makes the recordable side (the
other side of the printed 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.
