Preparing batteries
Use the following batteries in this camera.
Acceptable batteries
HR11/45: HR03 (size AAA) Nickel-Metal
Hydride batteries (2)
NH-AAA-DA (2) (supplied)
NH-AAA-2DA twin-pack (not supplied)
Batteries that cannot be used
Manganese batteries, lithium batteries, Ni-
Cd batteries, alkaline batteries
When the above batteries are used, operation is
not guaranteed due to possible voltage drops or
other characteristics of the batteries.
In addition, the battery remaining indicator is
not displayed correctly.
Charging the batteries
, Insert Nickel-Metal Hydride
batteries into the battery
charger (supplied) with the
correct polarity +/–.
You cannot use any battery other than a Nickel-
Metal Hydride battery. Also, operations are not
guaranteed when using a Nickel-Metal Hydride
battery from a manufacturer other than Sony.
Be sure to charge the Nickel-Metal Hydride
batteries supplied with your camera before
using them for the first time.
Connect the battery charger to an easily
accessible wall outlet (wall socket) close by.
Even if the CHARGE lamp is not lit, the battery
charger is not disconnected from the AC power
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the
wall outlet (wall socket). If some trouble occurs
while using the battery charger, immediately
shut off the power by disconnecting the plug
from the wall outlet (wall socket).
, Connect the battery charger to
a wall outlet (wall socket) using
the power cord (mains lead).
The CHARGE lamp lights up when
charging begins, and goes off when
charging is completed.
For details on the supplied battery charger,
see page 79.
When charging is finished, disconnect the
power cord (mains lead) from the wall outlet
(wall socket), and remove the Nickel-Metal
Hydride batteries from the battery charger.

Getting started
Charging time
This represents the time required to charge
fully depleted Nickel-Metal Hydride
batteries using the supplied battery charger
in an environment where the ambient
temperature is 25°C (77°F).
It takes about six hours to completely charge
the batteries. The CHARGE lamp may remain
lit longer than six hours, but this is not a
malfunction.
If you use the BC-CSQ2 battery charger
supplied with the STAMINA “Super Quick
charge” kit (not supplied), the batteries will
charge faster.
Charging time for Size AAA Nickel-Metal
Hydride batteries
2 batteries: Approx. 1 hour 25 minutes
4 batteries: Approx. 2 hours 50 minutes
Notes on the Nickel-Metal
Hydride batteries
If the poles of the Nickel-Metal Hydride
batteries are dirty, the batteries may not charge
properly. Occasionally clean the poles of the
batteries and the terminals of the charger by
wiping them with a dry cloth.
Always use the supplied case when transporting
the Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries. If the
positive and negative terminals come into
contact with metallic material and are shorted,
the batteries could overheat or catch fire.
At the time of purchase, or when the Nickel-
Metal Hydride batteries have not been used for
a long time, they may not fully charge. This is
typical of this type of battery, and is not a
malfunction. If this happens, repeatedly using
up the batteries fully, and then charging them,
should correct the problem.
Even when Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries are
not being used they lose their charge naturally
over time. It is recommended that you recharge
the batteries just before using them.
If you recharge Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries
before fully using up the existing charge, the
low battery warning may be displayed sooner
than expected. This is called the “memory
effect.”* If this problem occurs, charging the
batteries only after using up the existing charge
will correct it.
* The “memory effect” – the situation in which
the capacity of the battery is temporarily
lowered.
Do not peel off the external seals or damage the
batteries. Never use batteries from which the
seals have been partially or completely
removed, or batteries that have been split in any
way. These may cause leakage, explosion, or
heat-up of the battery, and personal scald or
injury may be caused. These may cause a
malfunction of the battery charger.

Inserting the batteries
, Slide the lock switch and the
OPEN button in the direction of
the arrow and open the
waterproof cover.
The waterproof cover opens toward you.
Before opening the waterproof cover, be
sure to rinse off any sand and
completely wipe away any water that
may be present on the camera body.
Never open the waterproof cover underwater or
in places exposed to water, as this may allow
water to enter the inside of the camera and
cause a malfunction.
Immediately after the camera is brought from a
warm place to a cold place such as from
indoors to outdoors, the difference in pressure
between the inside of the camera and the
outside air may make it difficult to open the
waterproof cover.
, Slide the inner cover in the
direction of the arrow to open
it.
The inner cover opens toward you when
you slide it in the direction of the arrow.
, Insert the batteries.
Match the +/– poles of the batteries to the
+/– marks inside the battery case.
From time to time, use a dry cloth to wipe any
dirt off of the battery terminals and the contacts
inside the inner cover. Skin oil and other dirt on
the battery terminals and contacts can
significantly shorten the operating time
provided by the batteries.

Getting started
, Close the inner cover and slide
it in the direction of the arrow
to lock it.
Close the inner cover while holding the
batteries in. Make sure the cover is closed
securely.
To remove the batteries
Perform steps 1 and 2 and remove the
batteries.
Be careful not to drop the batteries when
opening or closing the inner cover.
, Inspect the waterproof cover.
Inspect the O-ring and the O-ring mating
surface for scratches, deformation, dirt, hair
or other problems.
Note that if the O-ring and the O-ring mating
surface are damaged, dirty or have other
problems, the waterproof performance may be
impaired. In this case, water may enter the
inside of the camera and cause irreparable
damage.
Replace the O-ring with a new one if it
becomes scratched or deformed, or after
approximately two years of use even if there are
no problems (page 81).
, Close the waterproof cover.
Close the waterproof cover and slide the
slide lock lever back into place until the
OPEN button clicks.
When using the camera underwater or in places
exposed to water, slide the lock switch (page 9)
to lock the waterproof cover. This prevents the
waterproof cover from opening by accident.

surface for scratches, deformation, dirt, hair
or other problems.
Note that if the O-ring and the O-ring mating
surface are damaged, dirty or have other
problems, the waterproof performance may be
impaired. In this case, water may enter the
inside of the camera and cause irreparable
damage.
Replace the O-ring with a new one if it
becomes scratched or deformed, or after
approximately two years of use even if there are
no problems (page 81).

Close the waterproof cover and slide the
slide lock lever back into place until the
OPEN button clicks.
When using the camera underwater or in places
exposed to water, slide the lock switch (page 9)
to lock the waterproof cover. This prevents the
waterproof cover from opening by accident.
