Troubleshooting/Others (Advanced Operations) How to prevent moisture condensation When moving the camera from a cold place to a warm place, seal the camera in a plastic bag and allow it to adapt to conditions at the new location for about 1 hour. If moisture condensation occurs Turn off the camera and wait for 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. On the internal rechargeable battery This camera has an internal rechargeable battery for maintaining the date and time and other settings regardless of whether the power is on or off, or whether the battery pack is charged or discharged. This rechargeable battery is continually charged as long as you are using the camera. However, if you use the camera for only short periods, it gradually discharges. If you do not use the camera at all for about 3 months, it becomes completely discharged. In this case, be sure to charge this rechargeable battery before using the camera. Precautions However, even if this rechargeable battery is not charged, you can still use the camera as long as you do not record the date and time. If the camera resets the settings to the defaults each time you charge the battery, the internal rechargeable battery may be dead. Consult your Sony dealer or local authorized Sony service facility. How to charge the internal rechargeable battery Insert a charged battery pack in the camera, or connect the camera to a wall outlet (wall socket) using the AC Adaptor (sold separately), and leave the camera for 24 hours or more with the power off. Using the lenses and accessories We recommend that you use Sony lenses/accessories* designed to suit the characteristics of this camera. Using the products of other manufacturers may cause the camera not to operate to its capability, or result in accidents and malfunctions of the camera. * Including Konica Minolta products Memory cards Do not attach a label, etc. to a memory card or a card adaptor. Doing so may cause a malfunction. 201
