Shooting panoramic images
Allows you to create a panoramic image from composite images.
1. Press the mode button to switch to (Sweep Panorama).
2. Align the camera with the end of the subject to be shot and press the shutter button fully.
3. Pan the camera to the end of the guide (A), following the indicator on the screen.
Tips for shooting a panoramic image
Pan the camera in an arc at a constant velocity in the direction indicated on the screen. Subjects at
rest are more suited for panoramic shots than moving subjects.
Radius as short as possible.
48
Vertical direction
Horizontal direction
First press the shutter button halfway so that you can lock the focus and exposure. Then press the
shutter button fully down and pan or tilt the camera.
If a section with greatly varied shapes or scenery is concentrated along a screen edge, the image
composition may fail. In such a case, adjust the frame composition so that the section is in the
center of the image, then shoot again.
To shoot a 360 degree panoramic image
This camera is equipped with a panorama shooting function, capable of shooting a nearly 360
degree panoramic image.
Shoot a panoramic image by selecting MENU
set [Panorama Image Size] to [360°]. Recorded
panoramic images can be scrolled normally when played on the camera.
Press MENU [Shooting Direction] select [Right] or [Left]. [Up] and [Down] cannot be
selected for [Shooting Direction] when shooting 360 degree panoramic images.
The image actually recorded may not cover 360 degrees, depending on the subject or the way it is
shot.
Notes
If you cannot pan the camera across the entire subject within the given time, a gray area occurs in
the composite image. If this happens, move the camera faster to record a full panoramic image.
Since several images are stitched together, the stitched part will not be recorded smoothly.
When the whole angle of panoramic shooting and the AE/AF locked angle are very different in
brightness, color and focus, the shooting will not be successful. If this happens, change the AE/AF
locked angle and shoot again.
You cannot create panoramic images in the following situations:
You pan the camera too quickly or too slowly.
There is too much camera shake.

Red Eye Reduction
The flash strobes two or more times before shooting to reduce the red-eye phenomenon when using
flash.
1. Set the camera to shooting mode.
2. MENU
(Settings) (Shooting Settings) [Red Eye Reduction] desired mode
Auto
When the Face Detection function is activated, the flash strobes automatically to reduce the
red-eye phenomenon.
On The flash always strobes to reduce the red-eye phenomenon.
Off Does not use Red Eye Reduction.
What causes the red-eye phenomenon?
Pupils become dilated in dark environments. The flash light is reflected off the blood vessels at the
back of the eye (retina) (A), causing the “red-eye” phenomenon.
Other ways to reduce red-eye
Select
(High Sensitivity) mode in Scene Selection. (The flash is set to [Off] automatically.)
Notes
To avoid blurring of images, hold the camera firmly until the shutter is released. It usually takes a
second until the shutter is released, and also be sure not to allow the subject to move during this
period.
Red Eye Reduction may not produce the desired effects. It depends on individual differences and
conditions, such as the distance to the subject or if the subject looked away from the pre-strobe.
If you do not use the Face Detection function, Red Eye Reduction does not work, even when you
select [Auto].
[Red Eye Reduction] is set to [Off] in the following situations:
When
(Night Scene), (High Sensitivity), (Gourmet) or (Pet) mode is selected in Scene
Selection.
When the Smile Shutter function is activated.

Internal memory and memory card back up
Do not use/store the camera in the following places
On carrying
On operating temperatures
On moisture condensation
On image data compatibility
Notes on the screen and lens
Internal memory and memory card back up
Do not turn off the camera, remove the battery pack, or remove the memory card while the access lamp
is lit. Otherwise, the internal memory data or the memory card may be damaged. Be sure to make a
backup copy to protect your data.
Do not use/store the camera in the following places
In an extremely hot, cold or humid place
In places such as in a car parked in the sun, the camera body may become deformed and this may
cause a malfunction.
Storing under direct sunlight or near a heater
The camera body may become discolored or deformed, and this may cause a malfunction.
In a location subject to rocking vibration
Near strongly magnetic place
On carrying
Do not sit down in a chair or other place with the camera in the back pocket of your trousers or skirt,
as this may cause a malfunction or damage the camera.
On operating temperatures
Your camera is designed for use under the temperatures between –10°C and +40°C (14°F and
104°F). Shooting in extremely cold or hot places that exceed this range is not recommended.
On moisture condensation
If the camera is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may condense inside or
outside the camera. This moisture condensation may cause a malfunction of the camera.
If moisture condensation occurs, remove the battery and memory card and leave the battery/memory
card cover open and then leave the camera in a dry place until the moisture has evaporated. Note
that if you attempt to shoot with moisture remaining inside the lens, you will be unable to record clear
images.
On image data compatibility
The camera conforms with DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) universal standards
established by JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association).
153
Sony does not guarantee that the camera will play back images recorded or edited with other
equipment, or that other equipment will play back images recorded with the camera.
Notes on the screen and lens
The screen is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology so over 99.99% of the pixels
are operational for effective use. However, some tiny black and/or bright dots (white, red, blue or
green) may appear on the screen. These dots are a normal result of the manufacturing process and
do not affect the recording.
Exposing the screen or the lens to direct sunlight for long periods may cause malfunctions. Be
careful when placing the camera near a window or outdoors.
Do not press against the screen. The screen may be discolored and that may cause a malfunction.
Images may trail across on the screen in a cold location. This is not a malfunction.

On charging the battery pack
Effective use of the battery pack
Remaining battery charge
How to store the battery pack
On battery life
Compatible battery pack
On charging the battery pack
Charge the battery pack (supplied) before using the camera for the first time.
You can charge the battery pack even if it is not completely discharged. In addition, even if the
battery pack is not fully charged, you can use the partially charged capacity of the battery pack as is.
We recommend charging the battery pack at 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.
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. We recommend the following to ensure longer battery pack use:
Put the battery pack in a pocket close to your body to warm it up, and insert it in the camera
immediately before you start shooting.
(If there are any metal objects such as keys in your pocket, be aware of short-circuits.)
The battery pack will run out quickly if you use the flash or zoom frequently.
We recommend having spare battery packs handy for two times or three times the expected shooting
time, and making trial shots before taking the actual shots.
Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water-resistant.
Do not leave the battery pack in extremely hot places, such as in a car or under direct sunlight.
You may not be able to turn on the camera or the battery pack may not be effectively charged if the
terminal section of the battery is dirty. In this case, wipe any dust off lightly using a soft cloth or a
cotton swab to clean the battery.
Remaining battery charge
A remaining charge indicator appears on the screen.
A: High
B: Low
It takes about one minute until the correct remaining charge indicator appears.
If the power goes off even though the remaining battery is sufficient, charge the battery after fully
used. The correct battery level will be displayed.
The remaining charge indicator may not be displayed correctly in the following situations:
Using the camera in an extremely hot or cold location
Leaving the camera with a fully charged battery
Using a heavily used battery
156
The remaining charge indicator may not be correct under certain circumstances.
When [Power Save] is set to [Standard] or [Max], if you do not operate the camera for a certain
period of time while the power is on, the screen becomes dark, then the camera turns off
automatically. (Auto power-off function)
How to store the battery pack
Fully discharge the battery pack before storing and store the camera in a cool, dry place. To maintain
the battery pack’s function, charge the battery pack and then fully discharge it in the camera at least
once a year while storing.
To use the battery pack up, leave the camera in slideshow playback mode until the power goes off.
To prevent staining the terminal, short-circuiting, etc., be sure to use a plastic bag, etc. to keep away
from metal materials when carrying or storing.
On battery life
The battery life is limited. Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. If the
available time of the battery is shortened significantly, it is probably time to replace it with a new one.
The battery life varies according to how it is stored and the operating conditions and environment in
which each battery pack is used.
Compatible battery pack
The NP-BN (supplied) or NP-BN1 (sold separately) can be used with this model.

Notes on charging the battery pack
The supplied AC Adaptor is dedicated to this camera. Do not connect with other electronic devices.
Doing so may cause a malfunction. Also, make sure to use a genuine Sony AC Adaptor.
If the Charge lamp of the camera flashes during charging, remove the battery pack being charged,
and then insert the same battery pack into the camera securely again. If the Charge lamp flashes
again, this may indicate a battery error or that a battery pack other than the specified type has been
inserted. Check that the battery pack is the specified type. If the battery pack is the specified type,
remove the battery pack, replace it with a new or different one and check that the battery is charged
correctly. If the battery is charged correctly, a battery error may have occurred.
If the Charge lamp flashes even if the AC Adaptor is connected to the camera and the wall outlet
(wall socket), this indicates that charging has stopped temporarily and is on standby. Charging stops
and enters standby status automatically when the temperature is outside of the recommended
operating temperature. When the temperature returns to the appropriate range, charging resumes
and the Charge lamp lights up again. We recommend charging the battery pack at an ambient
temperature of between 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F).
Using the supplied AC Adaptor, you can charge the battery pack inserted in the camera. In addition,
power supply via AC Adaptor in playback mode is also available. However, in shooting mode, power
supply via AC Adaptor is not available. You need AC Adaptor AC-UD10 (sold separately) or AC-
UD11* (sold separately) to supply power from a wall outlet (wall socket) while shooting.
* The AC Adaptor AC-UD11 (sold separately) may not be available in some countries/regions.
