Notes on using your camera
• If you rotate the lens portion back when your
camera is connected to other devices with the
USB cable, the recorded images may be lost.
• Do not aim the camera at the sun or other bright
light. This may cause irrecoverable damage to
your eyes. Or it may cause the malfunction of
your camera.
• Do not use the camera near a location that
generates strong radio waves or emits radiation.
The camera may not be able to record or play
back properly.
• Using the camera in sandy or dusty locations
may cause malfunctions.
• If moisture condensation occurs, turn off the
camera and leave it for about an hour before
using it.
• Do not shake or strike the camera. In addition to
malfunctions and an inability to record images,
this may render the recording medium unusable,
or cause image data breakdown, damage or loss.
• When inserting or ejecting the "Memory Stick
PRO Duo" media, be careful so that the
"Memory Stick PRO Duo" media does not pop
out and drop.
• When connecting your camera to another device
with a cable, be sure to insert the connector plug
in the correct way. Pushing the plug forcibly
into the terminal will damage the terminal and
may result in a malfunction of your camera.
• Playback of movies other than those shot, edited
or composed on this camera is not guaranteed.
Notes on the LCD screen and the lens
• The LCD screen is 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. These points are normal in the
manufacturing process and do not affect the
recording in any way.
Black, white, red,
blue or green
points
• Exposing the LCD screen or the lens to direct
sunlight for long periods may cause
malfunctions. Be careful when placing the
camera near a window or outdoors.
• Images may trail across on the LCD screen in a
cold location. This is not a malfunction.
Note on disposal/transfer
• When using software embedded in the camera,

of the camera. When transferring the camera to
others or on disposal, do so after deleting the
information input.
