[114] Troubleshooting

Battery life is short.

You are using the camera in an extremely hot or cold location, or the charging is insufficient. This is
not a malfunction.
If you have not used the camera for a prolonged period, the efficiency of the battery will be
improved by repeatedly charging and discharging it.
When usable battery life becomes half the usual time, even after charging the battery pack fully,
the battery pack may need to be replaced. Consult your nearest Sony dealer.

A discrepancy arose between the remaining charge indicator and the actual remaining battery
charge. Fully discharge the battery pack once, then charge it to correct the indication.
Fully charge the battery pack again. If the problem persists, the battery pack is worn out. Replace
the battery pack with a new one.
