When shooting with the subject at the edge of
the frame, or when using Center AF or Spot

of on the subject at the edge of the frame. In a
case like this, use AF lock to focus on the
subject, and then recompose the picture and

When shooting an image using a previously

Shooting techniques
Normally, the camera automatically sets the
exposure. If the image is too dark or too
bright as shown below, we recommend that
you adjust the exposure value manually with
viewing the histogram. When shooting a
back-lit subject or a subject against a white
(e.g. snowy) background, adjust the
exposure toward the + side. When shooting a
black subject that fills the screen, adjust the
exposure toward the – side.
A histogram is a graph showing the
brightness of an image. The horizontal axis
shows the brightness, and the vertical axis
shows the number of pixels. The graph
display indicates a dark image when
skewed to the left side, and a bright image
when skewed to the right side. The
histogram is useful to check the exposure
during recording and playback when the

Cleaning the DC plug
On moisture condensation
If the camera is brought directly from a cold
to a warm location, or is placed in a very
damp room, moisture may condense inside
or outside the camera. This moisture
condensation may cause a malfunction of
the camera.
Clean the DC plug of the AC Adaptor. Do
not use the dirty plug. Use of the dirty plug
may not properly charge the battery pack.
Precautions
Do not leave the camera in the
following places
Cleaning the lens
Wipe the lens with a soft cloth to remove
fingerprints, dust, etc.
• In extremely hot place, such as in a car
parked in the sun. The camera body may
become deformed or this may cause a
malfunction.
• Under direct sunlight or near a heater.
The camera body may become deformed
or this may cause a malfunction.
• On rocking vibration
Moisturecondensationoccurs easily
when:
• The camera is brought from a cold
location such as a ski slope into a warmly
heated room.
• The camera is taken from an air-
conditioned room or car interior to the hot
outdoors, etc.
Cleaning the camera surface
Clean the camera surface with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with water, then wipe
the surface with a dry cloth. Do not use the
following as this may damage the finish or
the casing.
• Thinner
• Benzine
• Alcohol
• Disposable cloth
• Near strong magnetic place
• 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.
How to prevent moisture
condensation
• Volatile insecticide
• Contact with rubber or vinyl for a long
time
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 a period
of time (about an hour).
On carrying
Do not sit down in a chair or other place
with the camera in the back pocket of your
trousers or skirt, as this may cause
malfunction or damage the camera.
On operating temperature
The camera is designed for use between the
temperatures of 0°C and 40°C (32° F and
104° F). Shooting in extremely cold or hot
places that exceed this range is not
recommended.
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.
On cleaning
Cleaning the LCD screen
Wipe the screen surface with an LCD
cleaning kit (not supplied) to remove
fingerprints, dust, etc.
116
Charging method
On internal rechargeable button
battery
This camera has an internal rechargeable
button battery for maintaining the date and
time and other settings regardless of
whether the power is on or off.
Connect the camera to a wall outlet (wall
socket) using the AC Adaptor, or install a
charged battery pack, and leave the camera
for 24 hours or more with the power off.
On “Memory Stick”
“Memory Stick”
• The internal rechargeable button battery is
located inside the cover in the left side of
battery insertion slot of the camera. Never
remove the rechargeable button battery.
This rechargeable button 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 one month it becomes
completely discharged. In this case, be sure
to charge this rechargeable button battery
before using the camera.
“Memory Stick Duo”
Only “Memory Stick Duo” can be used
with this camera.

However, even if this rechargeable button
battery is not charged, you can still use the

Notes on using a Memory Stick Duo
Adaptor (supplied)
Effective use of the battery pack
• Battery performance decreases in low-
temperature surroundings. So, the time that
the battery pack can be used is shorter in
cold places. We recommend the following
to ensure longer battery pack use:
– Put the battery pack in a pocket close to
your body to warm it up, and insert it in
your camera immediately before you
start shooting.
• Frequently operating the zoom or flash
wears out the battery charge faster.
• We recommend having spare battery
packs handy for two or three times the
expected shooting time, and making trial
shots before taking the actual shots.
• Do not expose the battery pack to water.
The battery pack is not water-resistant.
On “InfoLITHIUM”
battery pack
• When using a “Memory Stick Duo” with a
“Memory Stick” compliant device, be sure to
insert the “Memory Stick Duo” into a Memory
Stick Duo Adaptor.
If you insert a “Memory Stick Duo” into a
“Memory Stick” compliant device without a
Memory Stick Duo Adaptor, you might not be
able to remove it from the device.
• When inserting a “Memory Stick Duo” into a

What is the “InfoLITHIUM”
battery pack?
The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack is a
lithium-ion battery pack that has functions
for communicating information related to
operating conditions of your camera.
The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack
calculates the power consumption
according to the operating conditions of
your camera, and displays the remaining
battery time in minutes.
• Do not insert a Memory Stick Duo Adaptor into
a “Memory Stick” compliant device without a
“Memory Stick Duo” attached. Doing so may
result in malfunction of the unit.

charged state, or the battery pack is
We recommend charging the battery pack
in an ambient temperature of between 10°C
to 30°C (50° F to 86° F). You may not be
able to efficiently charge the battery pack
outside of this temperature range.

• The battery 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 is
shortened considerably, a probable cause
is that the battery pack has reached the
end of its life. Buy a new battery pack.
• The battery life varies according to how it
is stored and the operating conditions and
environment for each battery pack.
