Troubleshooting
The battery remaining indicator is incorrect, or sufficient battery remaining 
indicator is displayed but the power runs out too quickly.
This phenomenon occurs when you use the camera in an extremely hot or cold location.
When using alkaline batteries/Oxy Nickel Primary Battery (sold separately), the displayed 
time remaining may not be correctly indicated.
The batteries are discharged. Insert new batteries or charged Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries 
(sold separately).
When using the Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries, the poles of batteries or the terminals of the 
battery cover are dirty so the batteries are not charged sufficiently. Clean them with a cotton 
swab, etc. (page 97).
When using the Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries, the displayed time remaining differs from the 
current one due to the memory effect (page 97), etc. Fully discharge and then charge the 
batteries to correct the display.
The batteries are dead. Replace them with new ones.
The batteries run down too quickly.
You are using the camera in an extremely cold location.
The batteries are dead. Replace them with new ones.
When using the Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries, charge them sufficiently.
Camera power is turned off automatically when you open the battery/“Memory 
Stick Duo” media cover.
This is not a malfunction. Turn off the camera before you open the battery/“Memory Stick 
Duo” media cover.

The power turns off suddenly.
If you do not operate the camera for about three minutes while the power is on, the camera 
turns off automatically to prevent wearing down the batteries. Turn on the camera again.
The batteries are discharged. Insert new batteries or charged Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries.
