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.

13

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)
