About water-proof, dust-proof, and shock-proof
performance of the camera
This camera is equipped to be water-proof, dust-proof and shock-proof.
Damage caused from misuse, abuse or failure to properly maintain the camera
is not covered by the limited warranty.
• This camera is water-proof/dust-proof equivalent to IEC60529 IP68. The
camera is operable up to a water depth of 10 m (33 ft) for 60 minutes.
• Do not subject the camera to pressurized water, such as from a tap.
• Do not use in hot springs.
• Use the camera in the recommended operating water temperature range of
0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
• The shock resistance of this camera has passed the in-house drop test from a
height of 1.5 m (5 ft) onto a 5-cm (2 inches) thick plywood board, which
conforms to the MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock standards (test method
standard of the U.S. Defense Department).*
* Depending on use conditions and circumstances, no guarantee is made regarding
damage to, malfunction of, or the water-proof performance of this camera.
• As for dust-proof/shock-proof performance, there is no guarantee that the
camera will not become scratched or dented.
• Sometimes water-proof performance is lost if the camera is subjected to a
strong shock such as from being dropped. We recommend the camera be
inspected at an authorized repair shop for a fee.
• Accessories supplied do not meet water-proof, dust-proof, and shock-proof
specifications.
Notes before using the camera under/near water
• Make sure that no foreign matter such as sand, hair, or dirt gets inside the
battery/memory card cover. Even a small amount of foreign matter may lead
to water entering the camera.
• Confirm that the sealing gasket and its
mating surfaces have not become
scratched. Even a small scratch may lead
to water entering the camera. If the
sealing gasket or its mating surfaces
become scratched, take the camera to an
authorized repair shop to have the
sealing gasket replaced for a fee. 1Sealing gasket
2Surface contacting the
sealing gasket

GB

GB
• If dirt or sand gets on the sealing gasket or its mating surfaces, wipe the area
clean with a soft cloth that will not leave behind any fibers. Prevent the
sealing gasket from becoming scratched by touching it while charging a
battery or using a cable.
• Do not open/close the battery/memory card cover with wet or sandy hands or
near water. There is a risk this will lead to sand or water getting inside.
Before opening the cover, perform the procedure described in “Cleaning
after using the camera under/near water”.
• Open the battery/memory card cover with the camera completely dry.
• Always confirm that the battery/memory card cover has been securely
locked.
Notes on using the camera under/near water
• Do not subject the camera to shock such as from jumping into water.
• Do not open and close the battery/memory card cover while under/near
water.
• This camera sinks in water. Place your hand through the wrist strap to
prevent the camera from sinking.
• Faint, white, circular spots may appear in under-water flash photos due to
reflections off of floating objects. This is not a malfunction.
• If water drops or other foreign matter is present on the lens, you will be
unable to record clear images.
Cleaning after using the camera under/near water
• Always clean the camera with water after use
within 60 minutes, and do not open the
battery/memory card cover before cleaning is
finished. Sand or water may get inside places
where it cannot be seen. If not rinsed, water-
proof performance will be degraded.
• Allow the camera to sit in pure water poured
into a cleaning bowl for about 5 minutes.
Then, gently shake the camera, press each button, slide the zoom lever inside
the water, to clean away any salt, sand or other matter lodged around the
buttons.
• After rinsing, wipe away water drops with a soft cloth. Allow the camera to
dry completely in a shady location with good ventilation. Do not blow dry
with a hair dryer as there is a risk of deformation and/or degraded water-
proof performance.
• Wipe away water drops or dust on the memory card/battery cover with a soft
dry cloth.

GB
10
• This camera is constructed to drain water. Water will drain from openings
around the ON/OFF (Power) button, zoom lever, and other controls. After
removing from water, place the camera on a dry cloth for a while to allow
water to drain.
• Bubbles may appear when the camera is placed under water. This is not a
malfunction.
• The camera body may become discolored if it comes in contact with
sunscreen or suntan oil. If the camera does come in contact with sunscreen or
suntan oil, quickly wipe it clean.
• Do not allow the camera to sit with salt water inside or on the surface. This
may lead to corrosion or discoloration, and degradation of water-proof
performance.
• To maintain the water-proof performance, we recommend that once a year
you take the camera to your dealer, or to an authorized repair shop, to have
the sealing gasket of the battery/memory card cover replaced for a fee.

• If the Charge lamp on the camera flashes when the AC Adaptor is connected to the
wall outlet (wall socket), this indicates that charging is temporarily stopped
because the temperature is outside the recommended range. When the temperature
gets back within the appropriate range, the charging resumes. 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 effectively charged if the terminal section of the
battery is dirty. In this case, wipe any dust off lightly using a soft cloth or a cotton
swab to clean the terminal section of the battery.
• Connect the AC Adaptor (supplied) to the nearest wall outlet (wall socket). If
malfunctions occur while using the AC Adaptor, disconnect the plug from the wall
outlet (wall socket) immediately to disconnect from the power source.
• When charging is finished, disconnect the AC Adaptor from the wall outlet (wall
socket).
• Be sure to use only genuine Sony brand battery packs, dedicated USB cable
(supplied) and AC Adaptor (supplied).
x Charging time (Full charge)
The charging time is approximately 115 min. using the AC Adaptor
(supplied).
• The above charging time applies when charging a fully depleted battery pack at a
temperature of 25°C (77°F). Charging may take longer depending on conditions of
use and circumstances.
x Charging by connecting to a computer
The battery pack can be charged by connecting the camera to a computer using
the dedicated USB cable.

restarting the computer or waking the computer from sleep mode, disconnect the
camera and the computer.
– No guarantees are made for charging using a custom-built computer or a
modified computer.
x Battery life and number of images that can be
recorded and played back
• The above number of images applies when the battery pack is fully charged. The
number of images may decrease depending on the conditions of use.
• The number of images that can be recorded is for shooting under the following
conditions:
– Using Sony microSD memory card (Class 4 or faster) (sold separately)
– The battery pack is used at an ambient temperature of 25°C (77°F).
• The number for “Shooting (still images)” is based on the CIPA standard, and is for
shooting under the following conditions:
