Before using your camera

Trial recording

Before you record one-time events, you may

want to make a trial recording to make sure

that the camera is working correctly.

No compensation for contents of the

recording

Contents of the recording cannot be

compensated for if recording or playback is

not possible due to a malfunction of your

camera or recording medium, etc.

Back up recommendation

To avoid the potential risk of data loss, always

copy (back up) data to a disk.

Notes on image data compatibility

· This camera conforms with the Design rule

for Camera File system universal standard

established by the JEITA (Japan Electronics

and Information Technology Industries

Association).

· Playback of images recorded with your

camera on other equipment and playback of

images recorded or edited with other

equipment on your camera are not

guaranteed.

Precaution on copyright

Television programs, films, video tapes, and

other materials may be copyrighted.

Unauthorized recording of such materials may

be contrary to the provision of the copyright

laws.

Do not shake or strike the camera

In addition to malfunctions and inability to

record images, this may render the "Memory

Stick" unusable or image data breakdown,

damage or loss may occur.

LCD screen, LCD finder (only models

with a LCD finder) and lens

· The LCD screen and the LCD finder are

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 and the LCD finder. These

points are normal in the manufacturing

process and do not affect the recording in

any way.

· Be careful when placing the camera near a

window or outdoors. Exposing the LCD

screen, the finder or the lens to direct

sunlight for long periods may cause

malfunctions.

· Do not press the LCD screen hardly. The

screen may be uneven and that may cause a

malfunction.

· Images may be trailed on the LCD screen in

a cold location. This is not a malfunction.

The power zoom lens (for the DSC-

P72 only)

This camera is equipped with power zoom

lens. Be careful not to bump the lens, and be

careful not to apply force to it.

Remove dirt from the surface of the

flash

If the dirt changes color or sticks to the

surface of the flash due to the heat of the flash,

sufficient light may not be emitted.

Do not get the camera wet

When taking pictures outdoors in the rain or

under similar conditions, be careful not to get

the camera wet. If moisture condensation

occurs, see page 108 and follow the

instructions on how to remove it before using

the camera.

Do not expose the camera to sand or

dust

Using the camera in sandy or dusty locations

may cause a malfunction.

Do not aim the camera at the sun or

other bright light

This may cause irrecoverable damage to your

eyes or the malfunction of your camera.

Notes on locations where you can

use the 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.

· Do not use the camera near a TV, radio, or

tuner. This may cause noise to interfere the

camera.
