Notes on using the camera

Notes on the types of “Memory Stick”

that you can use (not supplied)

“Memory Stick Duo”: You

can use a “Memory Stick Duo”

with the camera.

“Memory Stick”: You

cannot use a “Memory

Stick” with the camera.

Other memory cards cannot be used.

• For details on “Memory Stick Duo”, see

page 161.

When using a “Memory Stick Duo”

with “Memory Stick” compatible

equipment

You can use the “Memory Stick Duo” by

inserting it into the Memory Stick Duo

Adaptor (not supplied).

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 the 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 163.

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.

• A large difference in the histogram displayed during shooting and playback may occur when:

– The flash strobes.

– The shutter speed is slow or fast.

• The histogram may not appear for images recorded using other cameras.

This sets the brightness of the LCD screen. When viewing images in bright outside light if

[Brightness] is set to [Normal], reset to [Bright]. However, the battery power may decrease faster

under such condition.

Album/Photo Library Function

(DSC-T700 only)

The camera has approximately 4 GB* of internal memory. Even when there is no “Memory

Stick Duo” inserted in the camera, you can use this internal memory to record images and enjoy

viewing images shot in the past. In addition, “PMB” in the CD-ROM (supplied) lets you further

enjoy images in various ways. For details on “PMB”, see the “PMB Guide”.

In addition, the camera has a built-in application “PMB Portable” that lets you easily upload

images to a media service. You can also upload images with this application from a computer

that does not have “PMB” installed, such as when you are traveling. For details on “PMB

Portable”, see the “PMB Portable” help.

• When a “Memory Stick Duo” is inserted in the camera, images are recorded on the “Memory Stick Duo”.

Note that the camera cannot copy or transfer images directly between the internal memory and a

“Memory Stick Duo”. Use the “PMB”.

* When measuring media capacity, 1GB equals 1 billion bytes, a portion of which is used for system

management and/or application files. The capacity that a user can use is approximately 3.71GB.

Using the internal memory

(DSC-T77 only)

The camera has approximately 15 MB of internal memory. This memory is not removable. Even

when there is no “Memory Stick Duo” inserted in the camera, you can record images using this

internal memory.

• Movies with the image size set to [640(Fine)] cannot be recorded using the internal memory.

We recommend that you copy (back up) data without error using one of the following methods.

To copy (back up) data on a hard disk of your computer

Perform the procedure on pages 132 to 135 without a “Memory Stick Duo” inserted in the

camera.

To copy (back up) data on a “Memory Stick Duo”

Prepare a “Memory Stick Duo” with sufficient free capacity, then perform the procedure

explained in [Copy] (page 56).

• You cannot import image data on a “Memory Stick Duo” to the internal memory.

• By making a USB connection between the camera and a computer with a cable for multi-use terminal,

you can import data stored in the internal memory to a computer. However you cannot export data on a

computer to the internal memory.

When a “Memory Stick Duo” is inserted

[Recording]: Images are recorded on the “Memory Stick

Duo”.

[Playback]: Images on the “Memory Stick Duo” are played

back.

[Menu, Settings, etc.]: Various functions can be

performed on images on the “Memory Stick Duo”.

distance.

• When the camera cannot focus on the subject automatically, the AE/AF lock indicator changes to

flash slowly and the beep does not sound. Either recompose the shot or change the focus setting

(page 30).

Focusing may be difficult in the following situations:

– It is dark and the subject is distant.

– The contrast between the subject and the background is poor.

– The subject is seen through glass.

– The subject is moving quickly.

– There is reflective light or shiny surfaces.

– The subject is backlit or there is a flashing light.

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. ( (Flash Off) is automatically selected.)

• Even though you selected (High Sensitivity) mode in Scene Selection, the shutter speed might be

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.

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.

Notes

zOn “image quality” and “image size”

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.

Description of the pixels and the image size

after you press the shutter button. Be also sure not to allow the subject to move during this period.

• Red Eye Reduction may not produce the desired effects. It depends on individual differences and

conditions, such as distance to the subject, or if the subject looked away from the pre-strobe.

• If you do not use the Face Detection function, Red Eye Reduction does not work, even when you select

[Auto].

(Auto) When the Face Detection function is activated, the flash strobes

automatically to reduce the red-eye phenomenon.

(On) The flash always strobes to reduce the red-eye phenomenon.

(Off) Does not use Red Eye Reduction.

Notes

zWhat causes 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.

Other ways to reduce red-eye

• Select (High Sensitivity) mode in Scene Selection. (The flash is turned off automatically.)

• When the eyes of the subject turn out red, correct the image with [Retouch] on the viewing menu or

with the supplied software “PMB”.

zHints 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

Subject blur

• 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 Portrait) or (Twilight) mode. In that case,

shoot with the above tips in mind.

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

surface to hold the camera steady.

• Shoot with a 2-second delay self-timer and

stabilize the camera by holding your arms

firmly at your side after pressing the shutter

button.

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.

Printing at a shop

You can take a “Memory Stick Duo” containing images shot with the camera to a photo printing

service shop. As long as the shop supports photo printing services conforming to the DPOF, you

can make a (Print order) mark on images in advance so that you do not need to reselect

them when you print them out at the shop (page 115).

When taking a “Memory Stick Duo” to a shop

• Consult your photo printing service shop as to what types of “Memory Stick Duo” they handle.

• If a “Memory Stick Duo” is not handled by your photo printing service shop, copy the images you want

to print out to another medium such as a CD-R and take it to the shop.

• The Memory Stick Duo Adaptor (not supplied) may be necessary. Consult your photo printing service

shop.

• Before you take image data to a shop, always copy (back up) your data to a disk.

• You cannot set the number of prints.

• When you want to superimpose dates on images, consult your photo printing service shop.

• You cannot print images stored in the internal memory at a print shop directly from the camera.

– When using the DSC-T700, export the images to a “Memory Stick Duo” using “PMB”, then take the

“Memory Stick Duo” to the print shop (page 126).

– When using the DSC-T77, copy the images to a “Memory Stick Duo”, then take the “Memory Stick

Duo” to the print shop (page 56).

On the “Memory Stick Duo”

A “Memory Stick Duo” is a compact, portable IC recording medium. The types of “Memory

Stick Duo” that can be used with the camera are listed in the table below. However, proper

operation cannot be guaranteed for all “Memory Stick Duo” functions.

High-speed data transfer using a parallel interface is not supported.

“Memory Stick Duo”, “MagicGate Memory Stick Duo” and “Memory Stick PRO Duo” are equipped

with MagicGate functions. MagicGate is copyright protection technology that uses encryption

technology. Data recording/playback that requires MagicGate functions cannot be performed with the

camera.

[640(Fine)] size movies can be recorded.

This camera does not support 8-bit parallel data transfer. It performs the same 4-bit parallel data transfer

as the Memory Stick PRO Duo.

• This product is compatible with “Memory Stick Micro” (“M2”). “M2” is an abbreviation for “Memory

Stick Micro”.

• A “Memory Stick Duo” formatted with a computer is not guaranteed to operate with the camera.

• Data read/write speeds differ depending on the combination of the “Memory Stick Duo” and the

equipment used.

• Do not remove the “Memory Stick Duo” while reading or writing data.

• Data may be corrupted in the following cases:

– When the “Memory Stick Duo” is removed or the camera is turned off during a read or write operation

– When the “Memory Stick Duo” is used in locations subject to static electricity or electrical noise

• We recommend backing up important data.

• Do not press down hard when you write down on the memo area.

• Do not attach a label on the “Memory Stick Duo” itself nor on a Memory Stick Duo Adaptor.

• When you carry or store the “Memory Stick Duo”, put it in the case supplied with it.

• Do not touch the terminal section of the “Memory Stick Duo” with your hand or a metal object.

• Do not strike, bend or drop the “Memory Stick Duo”.

• Do not disassemble or modify the “Memory Stick Duo”.

• Do not expose the “Memory Stick Duo” to water.

• Do not leave the “Memory Stick Duo” within the reach of small children. They might accidentally

swallow it.

• Do not insert anything other than a “Memory Stick Duo” into the “Memory Stick Duo” slot. Doing so

will cause a malfunction.

• Do not use or store the “Memory Stick Duo” under the following conditions:

– High temperature locations such as the hot interior of a car parked in direct sunlight

– Locations exposed to direct sunlight

– Humid locations or locations with corrosive substances present

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.

Notes on using “Memory Stick PRO Duo” (not supplied)

“Memory Stick PRO Duo” with a capacity up to 16 GB have been confirmed to operate properly

with the camera.

Notes on using “Memory Stick Micro” (not supplied)

• To use a “Memory Stick Micro” with the camera, be sure to insert the “Memory Stick Micro” into an

“M2” Adaptor as large as of Duo size. If you insert a “Memory Stick Micro” into the camera without an

“M2” Adaptor as large as of Duo size, you might not be able to remove it from the camera.

• Do not leave the “Memory Stick Micro” within the reach of small children. They might accidentally

swallow it.

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 slideshow (page 38) 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 you use the NP-FD1 battery pack (not supplied), the minutes also appear after the battery remaining

indicator ( 60 Min).

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 this 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.

• When the CHARGE lamp flashes, remove the battery pack being charged, and then inserting the same

battery pack into the battery charger again until it clicks. When the CHARGE lamp flashes again, this

may indicate a battery error or that a battery pack other than the specified type has been inserted. Check

that the battery pack is the specified type. If the battery pack is the specified type, remove the battery

pack, replace it with new one or another one and check if the battery charger operates correctly. If the

battery charger operates correctly, a battery error may have occurred.
