Notes

• Charge the supplied NP-BG1 battery pack before using the camera for the first time.

• The LCD screen is 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. These points are

normal in the manufacturing process and do not affect the recording in any way.

• The camera is a precision instrument. Be careful not

to bump the lens or the LCD screen, and not to apply

force to it. Attach the strap to prevent the camera

from damage by being dropped, etc.

• Designed for use with compatible Sony batteries.
