Beware E62:10 Error Code I paid about $400.00 for this camera. I liked it at first and was impressed with the magnifying mode. Pictures were good. Almost a perfect camera. I can confirm the white spots (see Sony KB article C388461), at times almost looks like water drops as others have mentioned.

Exposure Adjusting the light intensity
You can create various images by adjusting the exposure and the ISO sensitivity. Exposure is the amount of light that the camera will receive when you release the shutter.

Exposure:

Shutter speed = Length of time the camera receives light Aperture = Size of the opening allowing light to pass through ISO sensitivity (Recommended Exposure Index) = Recording sensitivity

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 8 GB have been confirmed to operate properly with this camera.
Notes on using Memory Stick Micro (not supplied)
To use a Memory Stick Micro with this camera, be sure to insert the Memory Stick Micro into an M2 Adaptor as large as of Duo size. If you insert a Memory Stick Micro into the camera without an M2 Adaptor as large as of Duo size, you might not be able to remove it from the camera. Do not leave the Memory Stick Micro within the reach of small children. They might accidentally swallow it.

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). You may not be able to efficiently charge the battery pack outside of this temperature range. 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, the time that the battery pack can be used is shorter in cold places. 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 your 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.

How to store the battery pack
If the battery pack is not to be used for a long time, fully charge it and then fully use it up once a year on your camera before storing the battery pack in a dry, cool place. Repeat this charging and using up once a year to maintain the battery packs function. To use the battery pack up, leave your camera in slide show (page 48) playback mode until the power goes off. To prevent staining the terminal, shortcircuiting, etc., be sure to use a supplied battery case when carrying and storing.

On battery life

The battery life is limited. Battery capacity decreases little by little as you use it more and more, and as time passes. If the battery operating time seems shortened considerably, a probable cause is that the battery pack has reached the end of its life. Buy a new battery pack.

On the battery charger

Do not charge any other battery pack other than the NP-BG type battery packs in the battery charger supplied with your camera. Batteries other than the specified kind may leak, overheat, or explode if you attempt to charge them, posing a risk of injury from electrocution and burns. Remove the charged battery pack from the battery charger. If you leave the charged battery pack in the charger, battery life may be shortened. When the CHARGE lamp flashes, this may indicate a battery error or that a battery pack other than the specified type have been inserted. Check that the battery pack is the specified type. If the battery pack is the specified type, remove the battery pack, replace it with new one or another one and check if the battery charger operates correctly. If the battery charger operates correctly, a battery error may have occurred. If the battery charger is dirty, charging may not be performed successfully. Clean the battery charger with dry cloth, etc.
