Notes on the battery
• Charge the battery before using the camera for
the first time.
• The battery can be charged even if it is not
completely discharged. Also, even if the battery
is not fully charged, you can use the partially
charged capacity of the battery as is.
• If you do not intend to use the camera for a long
time, use up the existing charge and store the
camera in a cool, dry place. This is to maintain
the battery functions.
• For details on the battery, see page 71.
No compensation for contents of the
recording
• The contents of the recording cannot be
compensated for if recording or playback is not
possible due to a malfunction of your camera or
recording media, etc.

Stick PRO Duo” media while the access lamp is
lit, or the internal memory data or “Memory
Stick PRO Duo” media data may be destroyed.
Always protect your data by making a back up
copy.

are used for illustrating the operating
procedures. Change the screen language before
using your camera if necessary (page 21).
