The message “Set date and time?” appears when you turn on the camera.
• The camera has been left unused for sometime with a low battery or no
battery pack. Charge the battery pack and set the date again (pages 25, 172).
If the date setting is lost every time the battery pack is charged, consult your
Sony dealer or local authorized Sony service facility.
The number of recordable images does not decrease or decreases two at
a time.
• This is because the compression rate and the image size after compression
change depending on the image when you shoot a JPEG image (page 129).
The setting is reset without the resetting operation.
• The battery pack was removed when the power switch was set to ON. When
removing the battery pack, make sure the camera is turned off and the
access lamp is not illuminated (pages 17, 36).
The camera does not work properly.
• Turn off the camera. Remove the battery pack and insert it again. If an AC
Adaptor (sold separately) is used, disconnect the power cord. If the camera
is hot, allow it to cool down before trying this corrective procedure. If the
camera does not work after doing these solutions, consult your Sony dealer
or local authorized Sony service facility.
The five bars of the SteadyShot scale flashes.
• The SteadyShot function does not work. You can continue to shoot but the
SteadyShot function will not work. Turn the camera off and on. If the
SteadyShot scale continues to flash, consult your Sony dealer or local
authorized Sony service facility.
“--E-” is indicated on the screen.
• Remove the memory card, and insert it again. If this procedure does not turn
off the indication, format the memory card.
