Notes

When using a “Memory Stick PRO Duo” made by Sony Corporation. The recordable time

for movies varies depending on the recording conditions, [REC MODE], and the type of “Memory Stick.”

If you record in LP mode, the quality of scenes may be degraded, or scenes with quick movements may appear with block noise when you play back the movie.

NIGHTSHOT LIGHT

When using either the NightShot plus (p. 28) or [S. NIGHTSHOT PLS] (p. 74) function to record, you can record clearer images by setting [NIGHTSHOT LIGHT], which emits infrared light (invisible), to [ON] (the default setting).

Notes

Do not cover the infrared port with your fingers or other objects.

Remove the conversion lens (optional).

The maximum shooting distance using [NIGHTSHOT LIGHT] is about 3 m (10 feet).
