## 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: High
B: Low

- 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).
