Notes
 When using a “Memory Stick PRO Duo” made 
by Sony Corporation. The recordable time 
for movies varies depending on the recording 
conditions, [REC MODE], and the type of 
“Memory Stick.”
 If you record in LP mode, the quality of 
scenes may be degraded, or scenes with quick 
movements may appear with block noise when 
you play back the movie.
NIGHTSHOT LIGHT
When using either the NightShot plus 
(p. 28) or [S. NIGHTSHOT PLS] (p. 74) 
function to record, you can record clearer 
images by setting [NIGHTSHOT LIGHT], 
which emits infrared light (invisible), to 
[ON] (the default setting).
Notes
 Do not cover the infrared port with your fingers 
or other objects.
 Remove the conversion lens (optional).
 The maximum shooting distance using 
[NIGHTSHOT LIGHT] is about 3 m (10 feet).
