Solution
p Use an "InfoLITHIUM" battery pack (page 11).
p Charge the battery pack (page 11).
p Connect it securely to the DC IN jack of your camera and to a
wall outlet (wall socket) (page 14).
p Turn the power off and then on after one minute, and check that
the camera works properly.
p Remove the battery pack, then install it again after about one
minute and turn on the camera. If the functions still do not work,
press the RESET button located inside the battery/"Memory
Stick" cover with a fine-tipped object, then turn the power on
again. (When you press the RESET button, all settings including
the date and time are cleared.)
p Check the indicator (page 118).
p Turn off the camera and leave for about an hour at room
temperature for the moisture to evaporate before use (page 113).
