Solution

p Charge the battery (page 10).
p Connect it securely to the DC IN jack of your camera and to a
wall outlet (wall socket) (page 14).
p Disconnect, and then, after one minute, reconnect all power
sources. Then turn the power on and check that the camera
works properly.
p Remove, and then, after one minute, reinstall the battery. If this
does not work, press the RESET button located inside the
battery/"Memory Stick" cover with a pointed object, then turn
the power on again. (This will clear the date/time settings, etc.)
p Check the indicator (pages 99 to 101).
p Replace it with a fully charged battery or use the AC power
adaptor (pages 10, 14).
p Leave the camera for about an hour and then try to use it again
(page 95).
p This is not a malfunction.
