The battery life and number of images will be decreased if you use your camera at low
temperatures, use the flash, repeatedly turn the power on/off or use the zoom.

The capacity of the “Memory Stick” is limited. The above figures are a guide when you
continuously record/play back while replacing the “Memory Stick.”

If sufficient battery remaining time is indicated but the power runs out soon, fully charge the
battery so that the correct battery remaining time appears.

Do not short the DC plug of the AC power adaptor with a metallic object, as this may cause
