• When inserting or ejecting the “Memory Stick
PRO Duo” media, be careful so that the
“Memory Stick PRO Duo” media does not pop
out and drop.
• When connecting your camera to another device
with a cable, be sure to insert the connector plug
in the correct way. Pushing the plug forcibly

[ Notes on the LCD screen and
lens
• 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.

When using software embedded in the camera,
personal information such as IDs and mail
