Solution
p Set it to the recording position (page 108).
p Delete unnecessary images (pages 34 and 70).
p Set it to the recording position (page 108).
p We recommend that you set the "Memory Stick" write-protect
switch to the LOCK position to prevent accidental erasure
(page 108).
Solution
p Use an "InfoLITHIUM" battery pack (page 109).
p Charge the battery pack (page 10).
p Connect it securely to the DC IN jack of your camera and to a
wall outlet (wall socket) (page 13).
p Disconnect, and then, after one minute, reconnect all power
sources and turn on the camera. If this does not work, press the
RESET button located inside the battery/"Memory Stick" cover
with a pointed object, then turn the power on again. (This will
clear the date and time settings, etc.)
p Check the indicator (pages 112 to 114).
p Turn off the camera and leave for about an hour at room
temperature for the moisture to evaporate before use (page 107).
p This is not a malfunction.
p Replace it with a charged battery pack or use the AC Adaptor
(pages 10 and 13).
