Precaution on copyright
Television programs, films, video tapes, and
other materials may be copyrighted.

be contrary to the provision of the copyright
laws.
Do not shake or strike the camera
In addition to malfunctions and inability to
record images, this may render the "Memory
Stick" unusable or image data breakdown,
damage or loss may occur.
LCD screen, LCD finder (only models
with a LCD finder) and lens
• The LCD screen and the LCD finder are
manufactured using extremely high-
precision technology so over 99.99% 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 and the LCD finder. These
points are normal in the manufacturing
process and do not affect the recording in
any way.
• Be careful when placing the camera near a
window or outdoors. Exposing the LCD
screen, the finder or the lens to direct
sunlight for long periods may cause
malfunctions.
• Do not press the LCD screen hardly. The
screen may be uneven and that may cause a
malfunction.
• Images may be trailed on the LCD screen in
a cold location. This is not a malfunction.
The power zoom lens (for the DSC-
P72 only)
This camera is equipped with power zoom
lens. Be careful not to bump the lens, and be
careful not to apply force to it.
