Notes on the battery pack
Charge the battery pack (supplied) before using
the camera for the first time.
You can charge the battery pack even if it is not
completely discharged. In addition, even if the
battery pack is not fully charged, you can use
the partially charged capacity of the battery pack
as is.
If you do not intend to use the battery pack for a
long time, use up the existing charge and
remove it from your camera, then store it in a
cool, dry place. This is to maintain the battery
pack functions.
For details on the usable battery pack, see
page 123.
Carl Zeiss lens
The camera is equipped with a Carl Zeiss
lens which is capable of reproducing sharp
images with excellent contrast.
The lens for the camera has been produced
under a quality assurance system certified
by Carl Zeiss in accordance with the quality
standards of Carl Zeiss in Germany.
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, some tiny black and/or
bright dots (white, red, blue or green) may
appear on the LCD screen. These dots are a
normal result of the manufacturing process, and
do not affect the recording.
If water droplets or other liquids splash on the
LCD screen and make it wet, immediately wipe
off the screen with a soft cloth. Leaving liquids
on the LCD screen surface can harm the quality
and cause a malfunction.
Exposing the LCD screen or the lens to direct
sunlight for long periods may cause
malfunctions. Be careful when placing the
camera near a window or outdoors.
Do not press against the LCD screen. The screen
may be discolored and that may cause a
malfunction.
Images may trail across on the LCD screen in a
cold location. This is not a malfunction.
Be careful not to bump the lens, and be careful
not to apply force to it.

Basic techniques for better images
Hints for preventing blur
The camera moved accidentally when you took the image. This is called “Camera shake”.
On the other hand, if the subject moved when you took the image, it is called “subject blur”.
Camera shake
Cause
Your hands or body shake while you hold the
camera and press the shutter button, and the entire
screen is blurred.
What you can do to reduce the blurring
Use a tripod or place the camera on a flat, stable
surface to hold the camera steady.
Shoot with a 2-second delay self-timer and
stabilize your camera by holding your arms
firmly at your side after pressing the shutter
button.
Subject blur
Cause
Even though the camera is steady, the subject
moves during the exposure so the subject looks
blurred when the shutter button is pressed.
What you can do to reduce the blurring
Select (High Sensitivity) mode in Scene
Selection.
Select a higher ISO sensitivity to make the
shutter speed faster, and press the shutter button
before the subject moves.
Notes
The anti-blur function is enabled in the factory default settings so that the camera shake is reduced
automatically. However, this is not effective for subject blur.
Besides, camera shake and subject blur occur frequently under low-light or slow shutter speed
conditions, such as those encountered in (Twilight) or (Twilight Portrait) mode. In that case,
shoot with the above tips in mind.
12
Basic techniques for better images
You can create various images by adjusting the exposure and the ISO sensitivity. Exposure is
the amount of light that the camera will receive when you release the shutter.
Exposure
Adjusting the light intensity
Overexposure
= too much light
Whitish image
The exposure is automatically set to the
proper value in the auto adjustment mode.
However, you can adjust it manually using
the functions below.
Adjusting EV:
Allows you to adjust the exposure
determined by the camera (pages 25, 34).
Metering Mode:
Allows you to change the part of the
subject to be measured to determine the
exposure (page 33).
Correct exposure
Underexposure
= too little light
Darker image
Shutter speed = Length of time the camera receives
light
Aperture = Size of the opening allowing light to pass

ISO sensitivity (Recommended Exposure
Index)

Basic techniques for better images
Adjusting ISO Sensitivity (Recommended Exposure Index)
ISO sensitivity is a speed rating for recording media that incorporates an image sensor that
receives light. Even when the exposure is the same, images differ depending on the ISO
sensitivity.
To adjust the ISO sensitivity, see page 34.
The apparent color of the subject is affected by the lighting conditions.
Example: The color of an image affected by light sources
The color tones are adjusted automatically in the auto adjustment mode.
However, you can adjust color tones manually with [White Balance] (page 53).
High ISO sensitivity
Records a bright image even in dark locations while increasing shutter
speed to reduce blur.
However, the image tends to become noisy.
Low ISO sensitivity
Records a smoother image.
However, when the exposure is insufficient, the image may become darker.

Basic techniques for better images
A digital image is made up of a collection of small dots called pixels.
If it contains a large number of pixels, the image becomes large, it takes up more memory, and
the image is displayed in fine detail. “Image size” is shown by the number of pixels. Although
you cannot see the differences on the screen of the camera, the fine detail and data processing
time differ when the image is printed or displayed on a computer screen.

Basic techniques for better images
The eyes of the subject may come out red, or fuzzy white circular spots may appear when
using the flash. These phenomena can be reduced by taking the following steps.
The “Red-eye phenomenon
Pupils become dilated in dark environments. Flash light is reflected off the blood vessels at the
back of the eye (retina), causing the “red-eye” phenomenon.
How can the “Red-eye phenomenon” be reduced?
Set [Red Eye Reduction] to [On] (page 56).
Select (High Sensitivity)* mode in Scene Selection (page 48). (The flash is turned off automatically.)
When the eyes of the subject turn out red, correct the image with [Retouch] on the viewing menu
(page 64) or with the supplied software “Picture Motion Browser”.
The “White circular spots”
This is caused by particles (dust, pollen, etc.) floating close to the lens. When they are
accentuated by the camera’s flash, they appear as white circular spots.
How can the “White circular spots” be reduced?
Light the room and shoot the subject without a flash.
Select (High Sensitivity)* mode in Scene Selection. (The flash is turned off automatically.)
* Even though you selected (High Sensitivity) mode in Scene Selection, the shutter speed might be
slower under low-light conditions, or in a dark place. In that case, use a tripod or hold your shooting arms
firmly at your side after pressing the shutter button.

See “PictBridge compliant printer” together with the following items.
Images are printed with both edges cut off.
Depending on your printer, all the edges of the image may be cut off. Especially when you
print an image shot with the image size set to [16:9], the lateral end of the image may be cut
off.
When printing images using your printer, cancel the trimming or borderless settings. Consult
the printer manufacturer as to whether the printer provides these functions or not.
When having images printed at a digital print shop, ask the shop whether they can print the
images without cutting off both edges.
Cannot print images with the date.
Using “Picture Motion Browser”, you can print images with date.
This camera does not have a feature for superimposing dates on images. However, because
the images shot with the camera include information on the recording date, you can print

Notes on using the Memory Stick Duo
Adaptor (not supplied)
To use 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 Adaptor is inserted
facing the correct direction. Note that improper
use may damage the equipment.
Do not insert a Memory Stick Duo Adaptor into
a “Memory Stick” compliant device without a
“Memory Stick Duo” attached. Doing so may
result in malfunction of the unit.

On the battery pack
On charging the battery pack
We recommend charging the battery pack in an
ambient temperature of between 10°C to 30°C
(50°F to 86°F). The battery pack may not be fully
charged in temperatures outside this range.
Effective use of the battery pack
Battery performance decreases in low
temperature surroundings. So in cold places, the
operational time of the battery pack is shorter.
We recommend the following to ensure longer
battery pack use:
Put the battery pack in a pocket close to your
body to warm it up, and insert it in the camera
immediately before you start shooting.
The battery pack will run out quickly if you use
the flash or zoom frequently.
We recommend having spare battery packs
handy for two or three times the expected
shooting time, and making trial shots before
taking the actual shots.
Do not expose the battery pack to water. The
battery pack is not water-resistant.
Do not leave the battery pack in extremely hot
places, such as in a car or under direct sunlight.
How to store the battery pack
Fully discharge the battery pack before storing
and store it in a cool, dry place. To maintain the
battery pack's function, fully charge the battery
pack and then fully discharge it on the camera at
least once a year while storing.
To use the battery pack up, leave the camera in
slide show (page 58) playback mode until the
power goes off.
To prevent staining the terminal, short-
circuiting, etc., be sure to use a supplied battery
case when carrying and storing.
On battery life
The battery life is limited. Battery capacity
decreases over time and through repeated use. If
decreased usage time between charges becomes
significant, it is probably time to replace it with
a new one.
The battery life varies according to how it is
stored and the operating conditions and
environment in which each battery pack is used.
Compatible battery pack
The NP-BD1 (supplied) can be used only in D
type compatible Cyber-shot models. It cannot be
used in Cyber-shot models compatible with the
T type and other battery types.
If the NP-FD1 battery pack (not supplied) is
used, the minute display ( 60 Min) is also
shown after the battery remaining indicator.
124
On the battery charger
On the battery charger
Only D-type, T-type, R-type and E-type battery
packs (and no others) can be charged in the
battery charger (supplied). Batteries other than
the specified kind may leak, overheat, or
explode if you attempt to charge them, posing a
risk of injury from electrocution and burns.
The batteries that are compatible with the
camera are D type batteries. The supplied
battery is NP-BD1 (D type).
Remove the charged battery pack from the
battery charger. If you leave the charged battery
pack in the charger, battery life may be
shortened.
If the CHARGE lamp flashes, remove the
battery that is being charged and then reinsert it
correctly. If the CHARGE lamp flashes again,
the battery may be malfunctioning or a battery
other than the specified kind may have been
inserted. Check that the battery is of the
specified kind.
If the inserted battery is of the specified kind,
remove the battery and insert a different or new
battery to check whether the battery charger is
working properly. If the battery charger is
working properly, the battery is probably
malfunctioning.
