Quality

On image quality and image size
A digital image is made up of a collection of small dots called pixels. If it contains a large number of pixels, the picture becomes large, it takes up more memory, and the image is displayed in fine detail. Image size is shown by the number of pixels. Although you cannot see the differences on the screen of the camera, the fine detail and data processing time differ when the image is printed or displayed on a computer screen.
Description of the pixels and the image size 1 Image size: 7M (DSC-W7/W17 only) 3072 3,072 pixels2,304 pixels = 7,077,888 pixels

Battery life and number of images that can be recorded/viewed
The tables show the approximate number of images that can be recorded/viewed and the battery life when you shoot images in [Normal] mode with batteries at full capacity and at an ambient temperature of 25C (77F). The numbers of images that can be recorded or viewed take into account changing the Memory Stick as necessary. Note that the actual numbers may be less than those indicated depending on the conditions of use.
The battery capacity decreases as the number of uses increases and also over time (page 91). The number of images that can be recorded/ viewed and the battery life are decreased under the following conditions: The surrounding temperature is low The flash is used The camera has been turned on and off many times The zoom is used frequently [LCD Backlight] is set to [Bright] [AF Mode] is set to [Monitor] The battery power is low [AF Mode] is set to [Single] Shooting once every 30 seconds The zoom is switched alternately between the W and T ends The flash strobes once every two times The power turns on and off once every ten times The measurement method is based on the CIPA standard.

x On Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries
Do not peel off the external seals or damage the batteries. Never use batteries from which the seals have been partially or completely removed, or batteries that have been split in any way. These may cause leakage, explosion, or heat-up of the battery, and personal scald or injury may be caused. These may cause a malfunction of the battery charger. Always carry the Nickel-Metal Hidride batteries in the supplied battery case. Otherwise, metallic objects may short the + and - ends, resulting in the risk of heating or fire. If the poles of the Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries are dirty, the batteries may not charge properly. Wipe them with a dry cloth, etc. At the time of purchase, or when the NickelMetal Hydride batteries have not been used for a long time, they may not full charge. This is typical of this type of battery, and is not a malfunction. If this happens, repeatedly using up the batteries fully, and then recharging them should correct the problem. If you recharge Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries before fully using up the existing charge, the low battery warning may be displayed sooner than expected. This is called the memory effect.* If this problem occurs, charging the batteries only after using up the existing charge will correct it. * The memory effect - the situation in which the capacity of the battery is temporarily lowered. To use up the batteries completely, put the camera in the slide show mode (page 39) and leave it that way until the batteries are used up. Do not mix new and used batteries. Do not expose the battery to water. The battery is not water-resistant.
Effective use of Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries Batteries are discharged even when they are not used. We recommend you charge the batteries just before using them. Battery performance decreases in lowtemperature surroundings, and the battery life is shortened under such circumstances. To use the battery longer, we recommend you keep the battery in its case in a pocket close to your body to warm it, and insert it in your camera just before you start shooting.

If the poles of the batteries and the terminals on the battery cover of the camera are dirty, the battery life may be extremely shortened. Occasionally wipe them with a dry cloth, etc. to keep them clean. If you shoot a lot using the flash and the zoom, the battery power will be used up faster. We recommend having spare batteries handy for two or three times the expected shooting time, and try test shooting before actually using the camera. Battery life of Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries The battery life is limited. The battery capacity decreases little by little as you use it more and more, and as time passes. When the battery operating time seems to have been considerably shortened, a probable cause is that the batteries have reached the end of their life. The battery life varies depending on storage, operating conditions, and environment, and is different for each battery. On Alkaline batteries/Oxy Nickel Primary Battery Alkaline batteries/Oxy Nickel Primary Battery have a shorter life compared to the supplied Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries. For this reason, the power may turn off even though the battery remaining indicator shows sufficient battery life remaining. Battery performance differs greatly depending on the manufacturer and the type of battery, and in some cases the battery life may be extremely short. This is especially true at low temperatures, and you may not be able to shoot at temperatures below 5C (41F). Do not mix new and old batteries. The battery remaining indicator does not display the correct information when using alkaline batteries/Oxy Nickel Primary Battery. Due to characteristics of alkaline batteries/Oxy Nickel Primary Battery, there is a large difference between the available shooting time and the available playback time. For this reason, the camera may turn off with the lens portion extended when you switch the mode dial. In this case, replace the batteries with new ones or fully charged Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries.
