http://support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/BDUW/
• The PlayStation®3 may not be available in some countries/regions.
• Movies recorded with the [60i 24M(FX)/50i 24M(FX)]/[24p 24M(FX)/25p
24M(FX)] setting in [Record Setting] are converted by “PlayMemories Home” in
order to create an AVCHD recording disc. This conversion can take a long time.
Also, you cannot create a disc with the original image quality. If you want to keep
the original image quality, you must store your movies on a Blu-ray Disc.
x Creating a disc with a device other than a computer
You can create a disc with a Blu-ray Disc recorder etc.

Once you insert a memory card into the
camera and set the power switch to ON,
the number of images that can be
recorded (should you continue to shoot
using the current settings) is displayed
on the LCD screen.
Notes
• When “0” (the number of recordable images) flashes in yellow, the memory card
is full. Replace the memory card with another one, or delete images in the current
memory card (page 29).
• When “NO CARD” (the number of recordable images) flashes in yellow, it means
no memory card has been inserted. Insert a memory card.
x Number of still images and time of movies that can be
recorded on a memory card

Note
• The recording time of movies varies because the camera is equipped with VBR
(Variable Bit Rate) which automatically adjusts image quality depending on the
shooting scene.
When you record a fast-moving subject, the image is clearer but the recording time
is shorter because a lot of memory needed to record.
The recording time also vary depending on the shooting condition or your subject
or the setting of image quality/size.

x Number of still images that can be recorded using a
battery pack
The approximate number of images that can be recorded is 470 images when
you use the camera with the battery pack (supplied) at full capacity.
Note that the actual numbers may be less depending on the conditions of use.
• The number is calculated with a battery pack at full capacity and in the following
situation:
– At an ambient temperature of 25°C (77°F).
– [Quality] is set to [Fine].
– [Autofocus Mode] is set to [Single-shot AF].

facility.
Battery pack and power
The battery pack cannot be installed.
• When you insert the battery pack, use the tip of the battery pack to push the
lock lever (page 15).
• You can use an NP-FW50 battery pack only. Make sure that the battery is
NP-FW50.
Others
The remaining battery indicator is incorrect, or sufficient
remaining battery indicator is displayed but the power runs out
too quickly.
• This phenomenon occurs when you use the camera in an extremely hot or
cold location.
• The battery pack is discharged. Install a charged battery pack (page 15).
• The battery pack is dead. Replace it with a new one.
Cannot turn on the camera.
• Install the battery pack correctly (page 15).
• The battery pack is discharged. Install a charged battery pack (page 15).
• The battery pack is dead. Replace it with a new one.
The power turns off suddenly.
• When the camera or battery pack is too warm, the camera displays a warning
message and turns off automatically to protect the camera.
GB
77
• If you do not operate the camera for given period of time, the camera turns to
power saving mode. To cancel the power save, operate the camera, such as
pressing the shutter button halfway down.
The charge lamp on the camera flashes when charging the battery
pack.
• You can use an NP-FW50 battery pack only. Make sure that the battery is
NP-FW50.
• If you charge a battery pack that has not been used for a long time, the charge
lamp may flash.
• The charge lamp flashes in two ways, fast (about 0.3-second intervals) and
slow (about 1.3-second intervals). If it is flashing fast, remove the battery
pack and reattach the same battery pack securely, or disconnect and
reconnect the USB cable. If the charge lamp flashes fast again, it suggests
that there is something wrong with the battery pack, AC Adaptor (supplied),
or USB cable. Slow flashing indicates that charging is suspended because the
ambient temperature is outside the suitable range for charging the battery
pack. Charging will resume and the charge lamp will be lit when the ambient
temperature returns to within the suitable temperature. Charge the battery
pack under the suitable temperatures between 10 °C and 30 °C (50 °F and
86 °F).
The battery has not been charged even if the charge lamp has
turned off.
• This phenomenon occurs when you use the camera in an extremely hot or
cold location. Charge the battery pack under the suitable temperatures
between 10 °C and 30 °C (50 °F and 86 °F).
The battery pack is not charged.
• When the battery pack is not charged (the charge lamp does not light) even if
you follow the proper charging procedure, remove the battery pack and reinsert the same battery pack securely, or disconnect and reconnect the USB
cable.
Shooting images
Nothing is displayed on the LCD screen when the power is turned

The image taken with the flash is too dark.
• If the subject is beyond the flash range (the distance that the flash can reach),
the pictures will be dark because the flash light does not reach the subject. If
the ISO is changed, the flash range also changes with it (page 44).
The date and time are recorded incorrectly.
• Set the correct date and time (page 23).
• The area selected with [Area Setting] is different from the actual area. Set the
actual area by selecting MENU t [Setup] t [Area Setting].
The aperture value and/or shutter speed flashes.
• Since the subject is too bright or too dark, it is beyond the available range of
the camera. Adjust the setting again.
The image is whitish (Flare).
Blurring of light appears on the image (Ghosting).
• The picture was taken under a strong light source, and excessive light has
entered the lens. When using the zoom lens, attach a lens hood.
The corners of the picture are too dark.
• If any filter or hood is used, take it off and try shooting again. Depending on
the thickness of the filter and improper attachment of the hood, the filter or
the hood may partially appear on the image. The optical properties of some
lenses may cause the periphery of the image to appear too dark (insufficient
light). You may compensate for this phenomenon with [Lens Comp.:
Shading].
The eyes of the subject come out red.
• Activate the Red Eye Reduction function.
• Get close to the subject, and shoot the subject within the flash range
(page 44) using the flash.
Dots appear and remain on the LCD screen.
• This is not a malfunction. These dots are not recorded (page 82).
The image is blurred.
GB

• The picture was taken in a dark location without the flash, resulting in
camera shake. The use of a tripod or the flash is recommended (page 43).
[Hand-held Twilight] in [Scene Selection] (page 40) and [Anti Motion Blur]
(page 40) are also effective in reducing blur.
The exposure value is flashing on the LCD screen or the
viewfinder.
• The subject is too bright or too dark for the metering range of the camera.
The self-timer lamp does not flash.
• When the LCD screen is tilted upward about 180 degrees with [Self-portrait
Self-timer] set to [On], the self-timer lamp does not flash.

• You may feel uncomfortable
symptoms such as eyestrain,
nausea, or a tired feeling while
watching 3D images recorded with
the camera on 3D compatible
monitors. When you watch 3D
images, we recommend that you
take a break at regular time
intervals. Since the need for or
frequency of break times varies
between individuals, please set
your own standards. If you feel
sick, stop watching 3D images, and
consult a doctor as needed. Also,
refer to the operating instructions
of the connected device or the
software used with the camera. A
child's vision is always vulnerable
(especially for children under six
years of age). Before allowing
them to watch 3D images, please
consult with an expert, such as a
pediatric or ophthalmic doctor.
Make sure your children follow the
precautions above.

On focal length
The picture angle of this camera is
narrower than that of a 35 mm-format
film camera. You can find the
approximate equivalent of the focal
length of a 35 mm-format film camera,
and shoot with the same picture angle,
by increasing the focal length of your
lens by half.
For example, by using a 50 mm lens,
you can get the approximate equivalent
of a 75 mm lens of a 35 mm-format
film camera.
