How to prevent moisture
condensation
When moving 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 for about 1 hour.
If moisture condensation occurs
Turn off the camera and wait for
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 the internal rechargeable
battery
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 whether the battery pack is
charged or discharged.
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 gradually discharges. 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.
How to charge the internal
rechargeable battery
Insert a charged battery pack in 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.
Using the lenses and
accessories
We recommend that you use Sony
lenses/accessories* designed to suit
the characteristics of this camera.
Using the products of other
manufacturers may cause the camera
not to operate to its capability, or
result in accidents and malfunctions
of the camera.
* Including Konica Minolta products
Memory cards
Do not attach a label, etc. to a

Doing so may cause a malfunction.
