Power/Charge lamp

Lit: Charging

Off: Charging finished

Flashing:

Charging error or charging paused temporarily because the camera is not within the proper temperature range

1 Connect the camera to the AC Adaptor (supplied), using the micro USB cable (supplied).

2 Connect the AC Adaptor to the wall outlet (wall socket). The Power/Charge lamp lights orange, and charging starts.

• Turn off the camera while charging the battery.
• You can charge the battery pack even when it is partially charged.
• When the Power/Charge lamp flashes and charging is not finished, remove and re-insert the battery pack.

Notes

• If the Power/Charge lamp on the camera flashes when the AC Adaptor is connected to the wall outlet (wall socket), this indicates that charging is temporarily stopped because the temperature is outside the recommended range. When the temperature gets back within the appropriate range, the charging resumes. We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10^ to 30^ ( 50^ to 86^ ).
• 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 terminal section of the battery.
• Connect the AC Adaptor (supplied) to the nearest wall outlet (wall socket). If malfunctions occur while using the AC Adaptor, disconnect the plug from the wall outlet (wall socket) immediately to disconnect from the power source.
• When charging is finished, disconnect the AC Adaptor from the wall outlet (wall socket).
• Be sure to use only genuine Sony brand battery packs, micro USB cable (supplied) and AC Adaptor (supplied).

Charging time (Full charge)

The charging time is approximately 230 minutes using the AC Adaptor (supplied).

Notes

• The above charging time applies when charging a fully depleted battery pack at a temperature of 25^ ( 77^ ). Charging may take longer depending on conditions of use and circumstances.

Charging by connecting to a computer

The battery pack can be charged by connecting the camera to a computer using a micro USB cable.

To a USB jack

• If you connect the camera to a computer when power is turned on, the battery is not charged but the camera will be powered by the computer, which allows you to import images to a computer without worrying about the battery running out.

Notes

• Note the following points when charging via a computer:

• If the camera is connected to a laptop computer that is not connected to a power source, the laptop battery level decreases. Do not charge for an extended period of time.

• Do not turn on/off or restart the computer, or wake the computer to resume from sleep mode when a USB connection has been established between the computer and the camera. That may cause the camera to malfunction. Before turning on/off, or restarting the computer or waking the computer from sleep mode, disconnect the camera and the computer.
• No guarantees are made for charging using a custom-built computer or a modified computer.

• The recordable time of movies varies because the camera is equipped with VBR (Variable Bit-Rate), which automatically adjusts the image quality depending on the shooting scene. When you record a fast-moving subject, the image is clearer but the recordable time is shorter because more memory is required for recording. The recordable time also varies depending on the shooting conditions, the subject or the image quality/size settings.

Notes on using the camera

Functions built into this camera

• This manual describes 1080 60i-compatible devices and 1080 50i-compatible devices.

• To determine whether your camera supports the GPS function, check the model name of your camera.

GPS-compatible: DSC-HX400V

GPS-incompatible: DSC-HX400

• To check whether your camera is a 1080 60i-compatible device or 1080 50i-compatible device, check for the following marks on the bottom of the camera.

1080 60i-compatible device: 60i

1080 50i-compatible device: 50i

• This camera is compatible with 1080 60p or 50p-format movies. Unlike standard recording modes up to now, which record in an interlacing method, this camera records using a progressive method. This increases the resolution, and provides a smoother, more realistic image.
• While aboard an airplane, set [Airplane Mode] to [On].

On GPS-compatible devices (DSC-HX400V only)

• Use GPS in accordance with regulations of countries and regions where you use it.
• If you do not record the location information, set [GPS On/Off] to [Off].

On use and care

Avoid rough handling, disassembling, modifying, physical shock, or impact such as hammering, dropping, or stepping on the product. Be particularly careful of the lens.

ZEISS lens

The camera is equipped with a ZEISS lens which is capable of reproducing sharp images with excellent contrast. The lens for the camera has been produced under a quality assurance system certified by ZEISS in accordance with the quality standards of ZEISS in Germany.

Notes on recording/playback

• Before you start recording, make a trial recording to make sure that the camera is working correctly.
• The camera is neither dust-proof, nor splash-proof, nor water-proof.
• Do not aim the camera at the sun or other bright light. It may cause a malfunction of the camera.
• If moisture condensation occurs, remove it before using the camera.
• Do not shake or strike the camera. It may cause a malfunction and you may not be able to record images. Furthermore, the recording media may become unusable or image data may be damaged.

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.

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 shaking or vibration
• Near a location that generates strong radio waves, emits radiation or is strongly magnetic

In such locations, the camera may not properly record or play back images.

• In sandy or dusty places

Be careful not to let sand or dust get into the camera. This may cause the camera to malfunction, and in some cases this malfunction cannot be repaired.

Notes on the screen, electronic viewfinder and lens

• The screen and electronic viewfinder are manufactured using extremely high-precision technology, and 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 and electronic viewfinder. These dots are a normal result of the manufacturing process, and do not affect the recording.
• Take care that your fingers or other objects are not caught in the lens when it is operating.

Notes on the flash

• Do not carry the camera by the flash unit, or use excessive force on it.
• If water, dust or sand get into the open flash unit, it may cause a malfunction.
• Take care that your finger is not in the way when pushing the flash down.

On camera's temperature

Your camera and battery may get hot due to continuous use, but it is not a malfunction.

On the overheat protection

Depending on the camera and battery temperature, you may be unable to record movies or the power may turn off automatically to protect the camera.

A message will be displayed on the screen before the power turns off or you can no longer record movies. In this case, leave the power off and wait until the camera and battery temperature goes down. If you turn on the power without letting the camera and battery cool down enough, the power may turn off again or you may be unable to record movies.

On charging the battery

• If you charge a battery that has not been used for a long time, you may be unable to charge it to the proper capacity.
  This is due to the battery characteristics. Charge the battery again.
• Batteries which have not been used for more than a year may have become deteriorated.
