This camera has an internal rechargeable
button battery for maintaining the date and
time and other settings regardless of whether
the power is on or off. This rechargeable
button battery is constantly charged as long
as you are using the camera. However, if
you use the camera for only short periods it
discharges gradually, and if you do not use
the camera at all for about half a year it
becomes completely discharged. In this
case, be sure to charge this rechargeable
button battery before using the camera.
However, even if this rechargeable button
battery is not charged, you can still use the
camera as long as you do not record the date
and time.
Charging method
Connect the camera to a wall outlet (mains)
with the AC power adaptor, or install a
charged battery pack, and leave the camera
for 24 hours or more with the POWER
switch set to OFF.

On “Memory Sticks”
“Memory Stick” is a new compact, portable
and versatile IC recording medium with a
data capacity that exceeds a floppy disk.
“Memory Stick” is specially designed for
exchanging and sharing digital data among
“Memory Stick” compatible products.
Because it is removable, “Memory Stick”
can also be used for external data storage.
There are two types of “Memory Sticks”:
general “Memory Sticks” and “MagicGate
Memory Sticks” that are equipped with the
MagicGate* copyright protection
technology.
You can use both types of “Memory Stick”
with your camera. However, because your
camera does not support the MagicGate
standards, data recorded with your camera is
not subject to MagicGate copyright
protection.
MagicGate is copyright protection
technology that uses encryption
technology.
