"Memory Stick Duo" media adaptor Notes on the battery • Charge the battery before using the camera for the first time. • The battery can be charged even if it is not completely discharged. Also, even if the battery 2 is not fully charged, you can use the partially charged capacity of the battery as is. • If you do not intend to use the camera for a long time, use up the existing charge and store the camera in a cool, dry place. This is to maintain the battery functions. • For details on the battery, see page 68. No compensation for contents of the recording • The contents of the recording cannot be compensated for if recording or playback is not possible due to a malfunction of your camera or recording media, etc. Internal memory and memory card back up • Do not turn off the camera or remove the memory card while the access lamp is lit, or the internal memory data or the memory card data may be destroyed. Always protect your data by making a back up copy. About changing the language setting • The on-screen displays in each local language are used for illustrating the operating procedures. Change the screen language before using your camera if necessary (page 22). Notes on recording/playback • To ensure stable operation of the memory cards, we recommend that you format the memory card the first time you use it with this camera. However, if you format the memory card, all the data on the memory card will be deleted and you cannot restore that data. So, be sure to store your important data on the computer before formatting the memory card. • This camera is neither dust-proof, nor splashproof, nor water-proof. • Before you record one-time events, make a trial recording to make sure that the camera is working correctly. • Be careful not to get the camera wet. Water entering the inside of the camera may cause malfunctions which in some cases may not be repairable. • If you rotate the lens portion back when your camera is connected to other devices with the USB connection support cable, the recorded images may be lost.
