The manual states that depending on the sales region, the SC-DC173 will ship with a 3.5-inch DVD-RW disc and carrying case. Our model did not.

Digital Effects - The SC-DC173 offers the following digital effects: Art, Mosaic, Sepia, Negative, and Mirror (which can only be activated in 4:3 mode). Initializing the Sepia tone effect is interesting because it doesn’t make a huge noticeable difference from the regular Shooting mode (since the SC-DC173’s picture looks somewhat sepia toned already).

C.Night/Video Light- The SC-DC173 is equipped with a video light, but only when C.Night mode is activated. C.Night mode is accessed by pressing the C.Night/light button located within the LCD cavity. When pressed once, the shutter speed drops to 1/30, a second press drops it down to 1/15, and a third press engages the video light along with the 1/15 shutter. Why can the LED only be used in 1/15 shutter speed? The world may never know.
