Notes on using a Memory Stick
Duo adaptor (supplied)
•
When using a “Memory Stick Duo” with a
“Memory Stick” compliant device, be sure to
insert the “Memory Stick Duo” into a Memory
Stick Duo adaptor.
If you insert a “Memory Stick Duo” into a
“Memory Stick” compliant device without a
Memory Stick Duo adaptor, you might not be
able to remove it from the device.
•
When inserting a “Memory Stick Duo” into a
Memory Stick Duo adaptor, make sure the
“Memory Stick Duo” is inserted facing in the
correct direction, then insert it all the way in.
Incorrect insertion may result in a malfunction.
•
When using a “Memory Stick Duo” inserted
into a Memory Stick Duo adaptor with a
“Memory Stick” compliant device, make sure
that the “Memory Stick Duo” is inserted facing
the correct direction. Note that improper use
may damage the equipment.
•
Do not insert a Memory Stick Duo adaptor
without a “Memory Stick Duo” attached. Doing
so may result in malfunction of the unit.

PRO Duo” (
not supplied
)
•

to 512MB have been confirmed to operate
properly with this camera.
On Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries
Effective use of the battery
• At the time of purchase, or if the Nickel-
Metal Hydride batteries have not been
used for a long time, they may not be
sufficiently charged. We recommend that
you charge the batteries before you use
them.
• Battery performance decreases in low-
temperature surroundings, and the battery
life is shortened under such
circumstances. To use the battery longer,
we recommend you keep the battery in its
case in a pocket close to your body to
warm it, and insert it in your camera just
before you start shooting.
• If you set [LCD LIGHT] to [OFF], the
battery will run for a longer amount of
time.
• If you shoot a lot using the flash, the
battery power will be used up faster.
• We recommend having spare batteries
handy for two or three times the expected
shooting time, and try test shooting
before actually using the camera.
• Do not expose the battery to water. The
battery is not water-resistant.
Battery life
• The battery life is limited. The battery
capacity decreases little by little as you
use it more and more, and as time passes.
When the battery operating time seems to
have been considerably shortened, a
probable cause is that the batteries have
reached the end of their life.
• The battery life varies depending on
storage, operating conditions, and
environment, and is different for each
battery.
