back up

• Do not turn off the camera or remove the battery 

pack or “Memory Stick Duo” while the access 
lamp is lighted, as the internal memory data or 
“Memory Stick Duo” data may be destroyed.

Notes on recording/playback

• This camera is neither dust-proof, nor splash-

proof, nor water-proof. Read “Precautions” 
(page 87) before operating the camera.

• Before you record one-time events, make a trial 

recording to make sure that the camera is 
working correctly.

• Be careful not to get the camera wet. Water 

entering the inside of the camera may cause 
malfunctions which in some cases may not be 
repairable.

• Do not aim the camera at the sun or other bright 

light. This may cause irrecoverable damage to 
your eyes. Or it may cause the malfunction of 
your camera.

• 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.

• If moisture condensation occurs, remove it 

before using the camera (page 87).

• Do not shake or strike the camera. In addition to 

malfunctions and an inability to record images, 
this may render the recording medium unusable, 
or cause image data breakdown, damage or loss.

• Clean the flash surface before use. The heat of 

flash emission may cause dirt on the flash 
surface to become discolored or to stick to the 
flash surface, resulting in insufficient light 
emission.

Notes on the LCD screen and lens

• The LCD screen is manufactured using 

extremely high-precision technology so over 
99.4% of the pixels are operational for effective 
use. However, there may be some tiny black 
points and/or bright points (white, red, blue, or 
green in color) that constantly appear on the 
LCD screen. These points are normal in the 
manufacturing process and do not affect the 
recording in any way.
