Setting The Date And Time; Inserting The "Memory Stick - Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P1 Service Manual

Notes
• The battery life and number of images will be decreased if you use your camera at low
temperatures, use the flash, repeatedly turn the power on/off or use the zoom.
• The capacity of the "Memory Stick" is limited. The figures in the table are a guide when you
continuously record/play back while replacing the "Memory Stick."
• "----" appears in the display window until the battery usable time is calculated.
• During charging, the indicators in the display window may not appear correctly or may flash in
the following cases.
— When the battery pack is not installed correctly.
— When the battery pack has malfunctioned.
• When you turn the LCD screen on and off, it takes about one minute for the correct battery
remaining time to appear.
• If the power may go off although the battery remaining indicator indicates that the battery pack
has enough power to operate, charge the battery pack fully again so that the indication on the
battery remaining indicator is correct.
• Use the AC power adaptor near the wall outlet (mains). If any trouble occurs while using the
camera, immediately unplug the power cord from the wall outlet (mains) to cut off the power.
• Do not short the DC plug of the AC power adaptor with a metallic object, as this may cause
malfunction.
• Do not expose the battery pack to water.
• When the battery pack will not be used for a long time, charge the battery pack once fully, and
use it in PLAY mode until it completely discharges. Keep the battery pack in a cool place.
• Battery life will be shorter when you record with the LCD screen ON. We recommend that you
turn the LCD screen OFF.
