Notes on using the camera
Notes on the types of “Memory Stick”
media that you can use (sold
separately)
Notes on the LCD screen and lens
• The LCD screen is manufactured using
extremely high-precision technology so over
99.99% of the pixels are operational for
effective use. However, some tiny black and/or
bright dots (white, red, blue or green) may
appear on the LCD screen. These dots are a
normal result of the manufacturing process and
do not affect the recording.
“Memory Stick Duo” media:
You can use a “Memory Stick
Duo” media with the camera.
“Memory Stick”
media: You cannot use a
“Memory Stick” media
with the camera.
Black, white, red, blue or
green dots
Other memory cards cannot be used.
• For details on “Memory Stick Duo” media, see
page 142.
• If water droplets or other liquids splash on the
LCD screen and make it wet, immediately wipe
off the screen with a soft cloth. Leaving liquids
on the LCD screen surface can harm the quality
and cause a malfunction.
• 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.
When using a “Memory Stick Duo”
media with “Memory Stick” media
compatible equipment
You can use the “Memory Stick Duo” media
by inserting it into the “Memory Stick Duo”
media Adaptor (sold separately).
• Do not press against the LCD screen. The screen
may be discolored and that may cause a
malfunction.
• Images may trail across on the LCD screen in a
cold location. This is not a malfunction.
• Be careful not to bump the lens, and be careful
not to apply force to it.

Duo” media
Adaptor
Notes on the battery pack
• Charge the battery pack (supplied) before using
the camera for the first time.
• You can charge the battery pack even if it is not
completely discharged. In addition, even if the
battery pack is not fully charged, you can use the
partially charged capacity of the battery pack as
is.
On moisture condensation
• If the camera is brought directly from a cold to a
warm location, moisture may condense inside or
outside the camera. This moisture condensation
may cause a malfunction of the camera.
• If moisture condensation occurs, turn off the
camera and wait about an hour for the moisture
to evaporate. Note that if you attempt to shoot
with moisture remaining inside the lens, you
will be unable to record clear images.
• If you do not intend to use the battery pack for a
long time, use up the existing charge and
remove it from the camera, then store it in a
cool, dry place. This is to maintain the battery
pack functions.
• For details on the usable battery pack, see
page 144.

zHints for better capturing of smiles
1 Do not cover the eyes with the bangs.
Do not obscure the face by hat, masks, sunglasses, etc.
2 Try to orient the face in front of the camera and be as
level as possible. Keep the eyes narrowed.
3 Give a clear smile with an open mouth. The smile is
easier to detect when the teeth are showing.
• The shutter operates when any person whose face is being detected smiles.
• You can select or register the selected subject for face detection with [Face Detection]. When the
selected face is registered in the camera memory, Smile Detection is performed only for that face.
To perform smile detection for a different face, touch that face (page 61).
• If the camera does not detect a smile, set the Smile Detection Sensitivity.

zOn “image quality” and “image size”
A digital image is made up of a collection of small dots called pixels.
If it contains a large number of pixels, the image becomes large, it takes up more memory,
and the image is displayed in fine detail. “Image size” is shown by the number of pixels.
Although you cannot see the differences on the screen of the camera, the fine detail and data
processing time differ when the image is printed or displayed on a computer screen.
Description of the pixels and the image size

sensitivity.
High ISO sensitivity

zHints for preventing blur
The camera moved accidentally when you took the image. This is called “Camera shake.”
On the other hand, if the subject moved when you took the image, it is called “subject blur.”
Besides, camera shake and subject blur occur frequently under low-light or slow shutter
speed conditions, such as those encountered in
In such case, shoot with the below tips in mind.
(Twilight Portrait) or (Twilight) mode.
Camera shake
Your hands or body shake while you hold the
camera and press the shutter button, and the
entire screen is blurred.
• Use a tripod or place the camera on a flat surface to
hold the camera steady.
• Shoot with a 2-second delay self-timer and
stabilize the camera by holding your arms firmly at your side after pressing the shutter button.
• Use [Hand-held Twilight] mode.
Subject blur
Even though the camera is steady, the subject
moves during the exposure so the subject looks
blurred when the shutter button is pressed.
Camera shake is reduced automatically using
the anti-blur function. However, the function
does not effectively reduce subject blur.
• Shoot in Anti Motion Blur or
(High Sensitivity) mode in Scene Selection.
• Select a higher ISO sensitivity to make the shutter speed faster, and press the shutter button before
the subject moves.

• To use a “Memory Stick Duo” media with a “Memory Stick” media compliant device, be sure to insert
the “Memory Stick Duo” media into a “Memory Stick Duo” media Adaptor. If you insert a “Memory
Stick Duo” media into a “Memory Stick” media compliant device without a “Memory Stick Duo” media
Adaptor, you might not be able to remove it from the device.
• When inserting a “Memory Stick Duo” media into a “Memory Stick Duo” media Adaptor, make sure the
“Memory Stick Duo” media is inserted facing in the correct direction, then insert it all the way in.
Incorrect insertion may result in a malfunction.
• When using a “Memory Stick Duo” media inserted into a “Memory Stick Duo” media Adaptor with a
“Memory Stick” media compliant device, make sure that the “Memory Stick Duo” media Adaptor is
inserted facing the correct direction. Note that improper use may damage the equipment.
• Do not insert a “Memory Stick Duo” media Adaptor into a “Memory Stick” media compliant device
without a “Memory Stick Duo” media attached. Doing so may result in malfunction of the unit.

Battery pack
On charging the battery pack
• We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10°C to 30°C (50°F to
86°F). The battery pack may not be fully charged in temperatures outside this range.
Effective use of the battery pack
• Battery performance decreases in low temperature surroundings. So in cold places, the operational time
of the battery pack is shorter. We recommend the following to ensure longer battery pack use:
– Put the battery pack in a pocket close to your body to warm it up, and insert it in the camera
immediately before you start shooting.
• The battery pack will run out quickly if you use the flash or zoom frequently.
• We recommend having spare battery packs handy for two or three times the expected shooting time, and
making trial shots before taking the actual shots.
• Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water-resistant.
• Do not leave the battery pack in extremely hot places, such as in a car or under direct sunlight.
How to store the battery pack
• Fully discharge the battery pack before storing and store it in a cool, dry place. To maintain the battery
pack’s function, fully charge the battery pack and then fully discharge it on the camera at least once a
year while storing.
• To use the battery pack up, leave the camera in slideshow (page 71) playback mode until the power goes
off.
• To prevent staining the terminal, short-circuiting, etc., be sure to use a supplied battery case when
carrying and storing.
On battery life
• The battery life is limited. Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. If decreased
usage time between charges becomes significant, it is probably time to replace it with a new one.
• The battery life varies according to how it is stored and the operating conditions and environment in
which each battery pack is used.
Compatible battery pack
• The NP-BD1 battery pack (supplied) can be used only in D type compatible Cyber-shot models. It cannot
be used in Cyber-shot models compatible with the T type and other battery types.
• If you use the NP-FD1 battery pack (sold separately), the minutes also appear after the battery remaining
indicator (
60 Min).
144GB
Battery charger
• Only D-type, T-type, R-type and E-type battery packs (and no others) can be charged in the battery
charger (supplied). Batteries other than the specified kind may leak, overheat, or explode if you attempt
to charge them, posing a risk of injury from electrocution and burns.
• The batteries that are compatible with this camera are D type batteries. The supplied battery is NP-BD1
(D type).
• Remove the charged battery pack from the battery charger. If you leave the charged battery pack in the
charger, battery life may be shortened.
• When the CHARGE lamp flashes, remove the battery pack being charged, and then inserting the same
battery pack into the battery charger again until it clicks. When the CHARGE lamp flashes again, this
may indicate a battery error or that a battery pack other than the specified type has been inserted. Check
that the battery pack is the specified type. If the battery pack is the specified type, remove the battery
pack, replace it with new one or another one and check if the battery charger operates correctly. If the
battery charger operates correctly, a battery error may have occurred.
