Sony DSC-P72 Memory Stick, 109, Internal rechargeable button battery, How to charge, Playback

The internal rechargeable button battery

This camera has an internal rechargeable button battery for maintaining the date and time and other settings regardless of whether the power is on or off.

This rechargeable button battery is continually charged as long as you are using the camera. However, if you use the camera for only short periods it discharges gradually, and if you do not use the camera at all for about one month it becomes completely discharged. In this case, be sure to charge this rechargeable button battery before using the camera.

Note that even if this rechargeable button battery is not charged, you can still use the camera as long as you do not record the date and time.

How to charge

Connect the camera to a wall outlet (wall socket) using the AC Adaptor (not supplied), or install charged batteries, and leave the camera for 24 hours or more with the power turned off.

The “Memory Stick”

“Memory Stick” is a new compact, portable and versatile IC recording medium with a data capacity that exceeds the capacity of a floppy disk.

You can use the “Memory Stick” as an external recording media that can be attached or removed as well as exchanging data between the units.

There are two types of “Memory Stick”: an ordinary “Memory Stick” and a “MagicGate Memory Stick” that are equipped with the MagicGate copyright protection technology. You can use both types of “Memory Stick” with your camera. However, because your camera does not support the MagicGate standards, data recorded with your camera is not subject to MagicGate* copyright protection.

You can also use the “Memory Stick Duo” and “Memory Stick PRO” with the camera.

*MagicGate is copyright protection technology that uses encryption technology.

•The “Memory Stick” formatted with a computer is not guaranteed to operate with this camera.
