the Memory Stick Duo Adaptor when using the 
“Memory Stick Duo” with the camera. If you

“Memory Stick Duo.”

wrong direction may cause a malfunction.
Do not insert a “Memory Stick Duo” that is not

a “Memory Stick”-compatible unit. This may 
cause a malfunction of the unit.

The batteries
Effective use of the battery
• Battery performance decreases in low-
temperature surroundings, and the battery 
life is shortened under such 
circumstances. To use the battery longer, 
we recommend you keep the battery 
stored in the supplied battery case (DSC-
P43 only) or something, in a pocket close 
to your body to warm it, and insert it in 
your camera just before you start 
shooting. 
• If you shoot a lot using the flash, the 
battery power will be used up faster.
• We recommend having spare batteries 
handy for two or three times the expected 
shooting time, and try test shooting 
before the actually using the camera. 
• Do not expose the battery to water. The 
battery is not water-resistant. 
Battery life
• The nickel-metal hydride battery 
(supplied with the DSC-P43) life is 
limited. Battery capacity decreases little 
by little as you use it more and more, and 
as time passes. When the battery 
operating time seems to have been 
considerably shortened, a probable cause 
is that the battery has reached the end of 
its life.
