Open the battery cover with the battery cover side facing upward and remove the
batteries. Be careful not to drop the batteries when removing them.
Power save mode
When operating the camera with batteries, set POWER SAVE in the SET UP screen
to ON to extend the battery life. The factory setting is ON (page 70).
See page 88 for more information on power save mode.
Auto power-off function
If you do not operate the camera for about three minutes during recording or
playback, the camera turns off automatically to prevent wearing down the battery. To
use the camera again, press the POWER button to turn on the camera again. The auto
power-off function only operates when the camera is operating using a battery pack.
The auto power-off also will not operate when playing back moving images or
playing back a slide show (page 60), or when a connector is plugged into the USB
jack, the VIDEO OUT jack or the DC IN jack.
* What is “InfoLITHIUM”?
“InfoLITHIUM” is a lithium ion battery pack which can exchange information such as battery
consumption with compatible video equipment. This unit is compatible with the
“InfoLITHIUM” battery pack (S series). “InfoLITHIUM” S series battery packs have the
mark. “InfoLITHIUM” is a trademark of Sony Corporation.
NP-FS11 battery pack (not supplied)
When you record images in an extremely cold location or using the LCD screen, the
operating time becomes short. When using the camera in an extremely cold location,
place the battery pack in your pocket or other place to keep it warm, then insert the
battery pack into the camera just before recording. When using a pocket heater, take
care not to let the heater directly contact the battery.
