Notes on using the Memory Stick Duo Adaptor (not supplied)
To use a Memory Stick Duo with a Memory Stick compliant device, be sure to insert the Memory Stick Duo into a Memory Stick Duo Adaptor. If you insert a Memory Stick Duo into a Memory Stick compliant device without a Memory Stick Duo Adaptor, you might not be able to remove it from the device. When inserting a Memory Stick Duo into a Memory Stick Duo Adaptor, make sure the Memory Stick Duo is inserted facing in the correct direction, then insert it all the way in. Incorrect insertion may result in a malfunction. When using a Memory Stick Duo inserted into a Memory Stick Duo Adaptor with a Memory Stick compliant device, make sure that the Memory Stick Duo Adaptor is inserted facing the correct direction. Note that improper use may damage the equipment. Do not insert a Memory Stick Duo Adaptor into a Memory Stick compliant device without a Memory Stick Duo attached. Doing so may result in malfunction of the unit.
Notes on using Memory Stick PRO Duo (not supplied)
Memory Stick PRO Duo with a capacity up to 16 GB have been confirmed to operate properly with the camera.
Notes on using Memory Stick Micro (not supplied)
To use a Memory Stick Micro with the camera, be sure to insert the Memory Stick Micro into a Duo-sized M2 Adaptor. If you insert a Memory Stick Micro into the camera without a Duo-sized M2 Adaptor, you might not be able to remove it from the camera.

On the battery pack

On charging the battery pack
We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10C to 30C (50F to 86F). The battery pack may not be fully charged in temperatures outside this range.

On battery life

The battery life is limited. 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 battery life varies according to how it is stored and the operating conditions and environment in which each battery pack is used.
Effective use of the battery pack
Battery performance decreases in low temperature surroundings. So in cold places, the operational time of the battery pack is shorter. We recommend the following to ensure longer battery pack use: Put the battery pack in a pocket close to your body to warm it up, and insert it in the camera immediately before you start shooting. The battery pack will run out quickly if you use the flash or zoom frequently. We recommend having spare battery packs handy for two or three times the expected shooting time, and making trial shots before taking the actual shots. Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water-resistant. Do not leave the battery pack in extremely hot places, such as in a car or under direct sunlight.

DSC-W170/G

Cyber-shot Digital Still Camera
The Sony DSC-W170 matches point-and-shoot ease-of-use with advanced features to pack a powerful punch. The sleek, compact body features an enviable 10.1 megapixel resolution, Carl Zeiss 5x wide optical zoom lens, and Sonys Double Anti-Blur solution for crisp, clear images. In addition, Face Detection technology, Smile Shutter, and Intelligent Scene Recognition elicit stunning detail from special moments. 10.1 MP Super HAD CCD More megapixels give you more detail and definition when you make big prints or crop in tight on your subject. The advanced Sony Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise. Carl Zeiss 5X Optical Zoom Lens 5X optical zoom gives you the power to get even closer to the action -- a real benefit for distant landscape views and dramatic portraits. Wide Angle Lens Wide angle (28 mm-140mm4 ) lens captures more of the scene 2.71 Clear Photo LCD Display A large, bright 2.71 Clear Photo LCD (230K) display includes an antireflective coating that provides for excellent visibility to help you compose, view, and share photos with superb clarity and color reproduction, even in bright sunlight. Face Detection Face Detection technology automatically controls focus, exposure, white balance, and flash to help reveal faces in shadows, make skin tones look more natural, reduce red-eye, and eliminate harsh facial glare, so your photos bring out every expression on every face in every shot. Smile Shutter Mode Smile ShutterTM technology captures smiles the moment they happen6 without the need to press the shutter. The mode can be set to capture when your subject laughs, smiles or even grins, and like Face Detection is able to differentiate children and adults to set priority. Sony Double Anti-Blur Solution The combination of Super SteadyShot optical image stabilization and high ISO sensitivity helps compensate for shaky hands, minimizes blur, and allow flash-free shooting to preserve the mood. Super SteadyShot Optical Image Stabilization Super SteadyShot Image Stabilization compensates for shaky hands and minimizes blur with a built-in gyro sensor that detects movement and sends correcting signals to a stabilization lens -- so theres no need to crop in on your shot to reduce blur. High Sensitivity (ISO 3200) Mode With high sensitivity of ISO 3200, you can shoot effectively in low light without flash to preserve the mood, while the Sony Clear RAW Noise Reduction system helps suppress the color noise that can degrade low-light shots. Intelligent Scene Recognition Mode Intelligent Scene Recognition mode automatically detects 5 different types of scenes and selects the appropriate camera setting: Backlight, Backlight Portrait, Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Twilight using a Tripod. Intelligent Scene Recognition has two different modes, advanced and auto. In Advanced mode, if the camera detects the particular scene, it will take one more picture. In Auto mode takes a single shot, arbitrarily deciding on the proper setting. Dynamic Range Optimization Powered by the exclusive Sony BIONZ TM high-speed processing engine, Dynamic Range Optimization preserves image data in bright highlights and reveals more detail in shadows or backlit areas -- for great results even in difficult lighting conditions. New DRO Plus mode enhances optimization, analyzing each region of an image and performing additional image processing. Convenient Photo Modes To adjust quickly for specific shooting situations, you can choose from several convenient photo modes, including Auto, Program Auto, and Scene Selections such as Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Fireworks, Smile Shutter, Underwater, Landscape, Soft Snap, Snow, High Sensitivity, and Beach environments. MPEG Movie VX Fine Mode Capture VGA (640 x 480) audio/video clips at a high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second7 ). The maximum length of time you can shoot continuously is about 10 minutes. Automatic Macro Shooting Standard Auto Focus now covers the macro focus range, eliminating the need to manually change focus modes for close-up photography. The Macro mode has not been eliminated, and enabling it accelerates Auto Focus when shooting at point-blank range.
