Battery pack and power

Cannot insert the battery pack into the camera.

Make sure the direction of the battery pack is correct, and insert it until the battery eject lever is locked.

Cannot turn on the camera.

After inserting the battery pack into the camera, it may take a few moments for the camera to power up.

Make sure that the battery pack is inserted correctly.

The battery pack will discharge by itself even if you do not use it. Charge the battery pack before use. Check that the battery pack is compatible. [Details]

The power turns off suddenly.

Depending on the camera and battery temperature, the power may turn off automatically to protect the camera. In this case, a message is displayed on the screen before the power turns off.

If you do not operate the camera for a certain period of time while the power is on and [Power Save] is set to [Standard] or [Max], the camera turns off automatically to prevent wearing down the battery pack. Turn on the camera again.

The remaining charge indicator is incorrect.

This is caused when you use the camera in an extremely hot or cold location.

Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. If decreased usage time between charges becomes significant, it is probably time to replace it with a new one.

The Charge lamp of the camera flashes while charging the battery.

Check that the battery pack is compatible. [Details]

The Charge lamp of the camera flashes infrequently when you use a battery pack that has not been used for a long time. In such cases, remove the battery pack from the camera and re-insert it.

DSC-W730: If the lamp flashes quickly, remove the battery pack being charged, and then insert the same battery pack into the battery charger again (until it clicks). If the lamp flashes quickly again, this may indicate a battery pack problem.

DSC-W710: If the lamp flashes, remove the battery pack being charged, and then insert the same battery pack into the battery charger again (until it clicks). If the lamp flashes again, this may indicate a battery pack problem.

DSC-W730: If the lamp flashes slowly, the charger is in standby mode and charging has temporarily stopped. Charging stops temporarily and standby mode results when the temperature is outside the range suitable for charging. Charging resumes and the Charge lamp lights when the temperature returns to the range suitable for charging.

These cameras are particularly user-friendly, making them a great option for those who want to capture life's moments without delving deeply into photography complexities.

One of the standout features of the DSC-W730 is its 16.1 megapixel Exmor CMOS sensor, which helps produce stunning images with great detail, even in low light conditions.

Photographers can enjoy sharp, clear images without the need for a tripod.

For users who want to capture high-quality videos, the "Record" button enables one-touch video recording in 720p HD, providing a seamless transition between still photography and videography. The inclusion of various shooting modes such as Intelligent Auto, which optimizes settings based on scenes, and Scene Selection modes ensures that users can easily choose the best settings for any situation.

Additionally, the DSC-W730 models feature a 3-inch LCD screen for easy framing and playback of photos and videos. This display ensures that users can clearly see what they are shooting, even in bright sunlight.

These cameras also support different colors and finishes, like black and pink, allowing for a level of personalization. The compact design makes them a portable choice for those who want to keep a camera handy for spontaneous moments.

In summary, the Sony DSC-W730, DSC-W710/B, DSC-W710/P, and DSC-W710 look to combine quality with usability. With high-resolution sensors, advanced stabilization technologies, user-friendly modes, and compact designs, they are perfect for anyone looking to capture memories effortlessly.
