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.
Black, white, red, blue or
green dots
• 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.
• 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.
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.

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
1 Image size: 16M

zAdjusting ISO Sensitivity (Recommended Exposure
Index)
ISO sensitivity is a speed rating for recording media that incorporates an image sensor that
receives light. Even when the exposure is the same, images differ depending on the ISO
sensitivity.
High ISO sensitivity
Records a bright image even in dark locations while increasing shutter
speed to reduce blur.
However, the image tends to become noisy.
Low ISO sensitivity
Records a smoother image.
However, when the exposure is insufficient, the image may become
darker.
zHints for preventing blur
Even though the camera is steady, the subject moves during the exposure and is captured
blurred when the shutter button is pressed. Camera shake is reduced automatically,
however, the function does not effectively reduce subject blur. Subject blur occurs
frequently under low-light or slow shutter speed conditions.
In such a case, shoot with the below tips in mind.

speed is faster.

Additional information on this product and answers to frequently asked questions can
be found at our Customer Support Website.
Battery pack and power
Cannot insert the battery pack.
• Make sure the direction of the battery is correct, and insert it until the battery eject lever is locked.
Cannot turn on the camera.
• After inserting the battery pack into the camera, it may take a few moments for the camera to power
up.
• Insert the battery pack correctly.
• The battery pack is discharged. Insert a charged battery pack.
• The battery pack terminals are dirty. Gently wipe away any dirt with a soft cloth.
• Use a recommended battery pack.
The power turns off suddenly.
• Depending on the camera and battery temperature, the power may turn off automatically to protect
the camera. In this case, a message is displayed on the LCD screen before the power turns off.
• If you do not operate the camera for a certain period of time while the power is on and [Power Save]
is set to [Standard] or [Stamina], the camera turns off automatically to prevent wearing down the
battery pack. Turn on the camera again.
139GB
The remaining charge indicator is incorrect.
• This is caused when you use the camera in an extremely hot or cold location.
• A discrepancy arose between the remaining charge indicator and the actual remaining battery charge.
Fully discharge the battery pack once, then charge it to correct the indication. Depending on
conditions of use, the display may remain incorrect.
Cannot charge the battery pack.
• You cannot charge the battery pack using the AC Adaptor (sold separately). Use the battery charger
to charge the battery.
The CHARGE lamp flashes while charging the battery.
• Check that the battery pack type is NP-BN1.

long time.
• The CHARGE lamp (on the supplied battery charger) has two flash patterns, fast flash (approx. 0.15-
second intervals) and slow flash (approx. 1.5-second intervals). If the lamp flashes quickly, remove
the battery pack being charged, and then insert the same battery pack into the battery charger again
(until it clicks). If the lamp flashes quickly again, this may indicate a battery pack problem.
If the lamp flashes slowly, the charger is in standby mode and charging has temporarily stopped.
Charging stops temporarily and standby mode results when the temperature is outside the range
suitable for charging. Charging resumes and the CHARGE lamp lights when the temperature returns
to the range suitable for charging.
It is recommended to charge the battery pack within the proper charging temperature range between
10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F).

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.
• When the battery pack terminals become dirty, the camera may not turn on, the battery pack may not
charge, or other symptoms may occur. In these cases, gently wipe away any dirt with a soft cloth.
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 76) playback mode until the power goes
off.
• To keep clean battery pack terminal and prevent short-circuiting, place the battery pack in a plastic bag,
etc. when carrying and storing to isolate it from other metal objects, etc.
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-BN1 battery pack (supplied) can be used only in N type compatible Cyber-shot models.
155GB
Battery charger
• Only NP-BN1-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 CHARGE lamp on the supplied battery charger has the following two flash patterns.
Fast flash: The lamp repeatedly flashes on and off at approximately 0.15-second intervals.
Slow flash: The lamp repeatedly flashes on and off at approximately 1.5-second intervals.
• 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 insert 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.
• If the CHARGE lamp is flashing slowly, the charger is in standby mode and charging has temporarily
stopped. Charging stops temporarily and standby mode results when the temperature is outside the range
suitable for charging. Charging resumes and the CHARGE lamp lights when the temperature returns to
the range suitable for charging. We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of
between 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F).

Note
• Your camera uses the VBR (Variable Bit Rate) format to automatically adjust image quality to suit the
recording scene. This technology causes fluctuations in the recording time of the media.
• Movies containing fast-moving images are recorded at a higher bit-rate requiring larger memory
capacity, which reduces the overall recording time.
Recordable time may vary depending on the recording conditions, subject, and image size.
