Built-in battery pack

On charging the battery pack

• 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 in temperatures outside this range.

• When usable battery life becomes half the usual time, even after charging the battery fully, the battery should be replaced. Consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Effective use of the battery pack

• Battery performance decreases in low temperature surroundings. So in cold places, the operational time of the battery pack is shorter.

• The battery pack will run out quickly if you use the flash or zoom frequently.

• Do not leave the camera in extremely hot places, such as in a car or under direct sunlight.

How to store the battery pack

• In case you do not use the camera for an extended period, fully charge the camera at least once a year and completely discharge the battery. Also, store the camera in a cool, dry place.

On battery life

• The battery life is limited. Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. If decreased usage time between charges becomes significant, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

• The battery life varies according to how it is stored and the operating conditions and environment in which each battery pack is used.

About the remaining battery charge

• A remaining charge indicator appears on the LCD screen.

• It takes about one minute until the correct remaining charge indicator appears.

• The remaining charge indicator may not be correct under certain circumstances.

• When [Power Save] is set to [Standard] or [Stamina], if you do not operate the camera for a certain period of time while the power is on, the LCD screen becomes dark, then the camera turns off automatically (Auto power-off function).
