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 IP58. The
camera is operable up to a water depth of 5 m 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
–10°C to +40°C (14°F to 104°F).
• Conforming to MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock standards, this product
has passed testing when dropped from a height of 1.5 m above a 5-cm thick
plywood board*.
*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 or multi-connector
cover. Even a small amount of foreign
matter may lead to water entering the
camera.

GB

• 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.
• 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 or multi-connector 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 and multi-connector cover with the
camera completely dry.
• Always confirm that the battery/memory card cover and multi-connector
cover have been securely locked.
Notes on using the camera under/near water
• The touch panel may be activated by water splashes on the screen icons.
When using the camera under/near water, it is recommended that you hide
the icons by touching on the right side of the screen. Touch for a few
seconds to display the icons again.
• The touch panel cannot be operated underwater. Use the buttons of the
camera to perform shooting or playback operations.
• Do not subject the camera to shock such as from jumping into water.
• Do not open and close the battery/memory card cover or multi-connector
cover while under/near water.
• Use a separately available housing (Marine Pack) if going more than
5 meters under 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.
• Select (Underwater) in Scene Selection to shoot underwater with less
distortion.
• If water drops or other foreign matter is present on the lens, you will be
unable to record clear images.

• Do not open the lens cover where the sand is whirling.
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 or the lens cover inside the water, to clean away any salt, sand or other
matter lodged around the buttons or the lens cover.
• 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 or terminal
cover with a soft dry cloth.
• 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, or of the multi-
connector cover replaced for a fee.

range, the charging resumes. We recommend charging the battery pack in an
ambient temperature of between 10°C to 30°C (50ºF to 86ºF).
• Connect the AC Adaptor (supplied) to the nearest wall outlet (wall socket). If any
malfunctions occur while using the AC Adaptor, disconnect the plug from the wall
outlet (wall socket) immediately to disconnect 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, multi-use terminal USB
cable (supplied) and AC Adaptor (supplied).
x Charging by connecting to a computer
The battery pack can be charged by connecting the camera to a computer using
a multi-use terminal USB cable.
1Open the connector cover and connect the camera and
the AC Adaptor (supplied), using the multi-use terminal
USB cable (supplied).
2Connect the AC Adaptor to the wall outlet (wall socket).
The Power/Charge lamp lights orange, and charging starts.
• Turn off the camera while charging the battery.
• You can charge the battery pack even when it is partially charged.
• When the Power/Charge lamp flashes and charging is not finished,
remove and re-insert the battery pack.
Notes

GB

• Note the following points when charging via a computer:
– If the camera is connected to a laptop computer that is not connected to a power
source, the laptop battery level decreases. Do not charge for an extended period
of time.
– Do not turn on/off or restart the computer, or wake the computer resume from
sleep mode when a USB connection has been established between the computer
and the camera. The camera may cause a malfunction. Before turning on/off, or
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 Charging time
The charging time is approximately 210 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 Battery life and number of still images you can record
and view
• The above number of still images applies when the battery pack is fully charged.
The number of still images may decrease depending on the conditions of use.
• The number of still images that can be recorded is for shooting under the following
conditions:
