Sony SEL-1855 Leaflet

• In sandy or dusty places

Be careful not to let sand or dust get into the camera. This may cause the 
camera to malfunction, and in some cases this malfunction cannot be 
repaired.

Your camera and battery may get hot due to continuous use, but it is not a 
malfunction.

If the camera is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may 
condense inside or outside the camera. This moisture condensation may cause 
a malfunction of the camera.

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 
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 shoot with moisture remaining inside the lens, you will 
be unable to record clear images.

This camera has an internal rechargeable battery for maintaining the date and 
time and other settings regardless of whether the power is on or off, or the 
battery is installed or not. This rechargeable battery is continually charged as 
long as you are using the camera. However, if you use the camera for only 
short periods, it discharges gradually, and if you do not use the camera at all 
for about 3 months it becomes completely discharged. In this case, be sure to 
charge this rechargeable battery before using the camera. However, even if 
this rechargeable battery is not charged, you can still use the camera as long as 
you do not record the date and time. If the camera resets the settings to the 
defaults each time you charge the battery, the internal rechargeable battery 
may be dead. Consult your Sony dealer or local authorized Sony service 
facility.

Charging method of the internal rechargeable battery
Insert a charged battery pack into the camera, or connect the camera to a wall 
outlet (wall socket) using the AC Adaptor (sold separately), and leave the 
camera for 24 hours or more with the power off.

• When you use a memory card with this camera for the first time, it is 

recommended that you format the card using the camera for stable 
performance of the memory card before shooting. Note that formatting 
permanently erases all data on the memory card, and is unrecoverable. Save 
precious data on a computer, etc.

• If you repeatedly record/delete images, fragmentation of data may occur on 

the memory card. Movies may not be able to be saved or recorded. In such a 
case, save your images to a computer or other storage location, then format 
the memory card.

• The recorded contents cannot be compensated for even if recording or 

playback is not possible due to a malfunction of the camera or memory card, 
etc.

• To avoid the potential risk of data loss, always copy (back up) data to other 

medium.

• Before you record one-time events, make a trial recording to make sure that 

the camera is working correctly.

• This camera is neither dust-proof, nor splash-proof, nor water-proof.
• Do not aim the camera at the sun or other bright light. It may cause the 

malfunction of the camera.

• Do not look at the sun or a strong light through a removed lens. This may 

cause irrecoverable damage to your eyes. Or it may cause a malfunction of 
the lens.

• Do not use the camera near a location that generates strong radio waves or 

emits radiation. The camera may not be able to record or play back properly.

• Using the camera in sandy or dusty locations may cause malfunctions.
• Do not shake or strike the camera. In addition to malfunctions and an 

inability to record images, this may render the memory card unusable, or 
cause image data breakdown, damage or loss.

• Clean the flash surface with a soft cloth. The heat of flash emission may 

cause dirt to adhere on the flash surface, resulting in smoking or scorching.

• Keep the camera, supplied accessories, etc., out of the reach of children. A 

memory card, etc., may be swallowed. If such problem occurs, consult a 
doctor immediately.

Television programs, films, videotapes, and other materials may be 
copyrighted. Unauthorized recording of such materials may be contrary to the 
provisions of the copyright laws.

The data on performance and specifications is defined under the following 
conditions, except as described in this manual: at an ordinary ambient 
temperature of 25ºC (77°F), and using a battery pack that is charged for an 
hour after the CHARGE lamp goes out.
