Additional information
On the battery charger
• Do not charge any other batteries except
Sony Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries in
the battery charger supplied with your
camera. If you try to charge any other
type of battery (e.g., manganese batteries,
alkaline dry cells, primary lithium
batteries, or Ni-Cd batteries) than the
batteries specified, those batteries may
leak, overheat, or explode, causing the
danger of burns or other injuries.
• Do not charge fully charged Nickel-
Metal Hydride batteries again.
Otherwise, there is a danger of leaks,
excessive heat, explosions, or electric
shock.
• When charging a high capacity battery
other than the supplied battery using the
supplied battery charger, the full capacity
of the battery may not be available.
• When the CHARGE lamp flashes, this
may indicate a battery error or that
batteries other than the specified type
have been inserted. Check that the
batteries are the specified type. If the
batteries are the specified type, remove
all the batteries, replace them with new
ones or another ones and check if the
battery charger operates correctly. If the
battery charger operates correctly, a
battery error may have occurred.
• The battery charger is not waterproof.
Do not allow the battery charger to
become wet.
On the O-ring
O-rings are a type of waterproof packing
that is used in underwater cameras and
watches, diving equipment, etc. This
camera uses an O-ring in the waterproof
cover portion.
Before use
Before using this camera underwater or in
places exposed to water, be sure to inspect
the O-ring and the O-ring mating surface.
If the O-ring or the O-ring mating surface is
cracked, scratched or otherwise damaged,
or if sand particles, hair or other minute dirt
has adhered, the waterproofing
performance may be impaired. Note that
water entering the inside of the camera may
cause irreparable damage.
