Sony NEX-3 Instruction Manual page 225

The message "Set Area/Date/Time." appears when the camera is turned on.
• The camera has been left unused for sometime with a low battery or no battery pack. Charge the
battery pack and set the date again (page 101). If the message appears every time you charge the
battery pack, the internal rechargeable battery may be exhausted. Consult your Sony dealer or local
authorized Sony service facility.
The number of recordable images does not decrease, or decreases two at a time.
• This is because the compression rate and the image size after compression change depending on the
image when you shoot a JPEG image.
The setting is reset without the resetting operation.
• The battery pack was removed when the power switch was set to ON. When removing the battery
pack, make sure the camera is turned off and the access lamp is not illuminated.
The camera does not work properly.
• Turn off the camera. Remove the battery pack and insert it again. If the camera is hot, remove the
battery pack, and allow it to cool down before trying this corrective procedure.
• If an AC Adaptor (sold separately) is used, disconnect the power cord. Connect the power cord and
turn on the camera again. If the camera does not work after doing these solutions, consult your Sony
dealer or local authorized Sony service facility.
"--E-" is indicated on the screen.
• Remove the memory card, and insert it again. If this procedure does not turn off the indication, format
the memory card (page 115).
