Important Notes on Operation

Fitting the zoom lens

It is important to fit the lens correctly, as otherwise damage may result. Be sure to refer to the section “Fitting the Lens” (See page 30).

Do not cover the unit while operating Putting a cloth, for example, over the unit can cause excessive internal heat build-up.

Operation and storage

Avoid storing or operating the unit in the following conditions.

•In excessive heat or cold (operating temperature range: –10 °C to +45 °C (14 °F to 113 °F)) Remember that in summer in warm climates the temperature inside a car with the windows closed can easily exceed 50 °C (122 °F).

•In damp or dusty locations

•Locations where the unit may be exposed to rain

•Locations subject to violent vibration

•Close to radio or TV transmitters producing strong electromagnetic fields.

Viewfinder

•Do not leave the camera with the eyepiece pointing directly at the sun.

The eyepiece lens can concentrate the sun’s rays and melt the interior of the viewfinder.

•Do not use the viewfinder close to strong magnetic fields. This can cause picture distortion.

Shipping

Use the optional LC-421 Carrying Case for optimal shipping.

If sending the camera by truck, ship, air or other transportation service, first store it in the carrying case, then pack the carrying case in the supplied carton (or an equivalent).

Care of the unit

Remove dust and dirt from the surfaces of the lenses or optical filters using a blower.

If the body of the camera is dirty, clean it with a soft, dry cloth. In extreme cases, use a cloth steeped in a little neutral detergent, then wipe dry. Do not use organic solvents such as alcohol or thinners, as these may cause discoloration or other damage to the finish of the unit.

In the event of operating problems

If you should experience problems with the unit, contact your supplier or Sony service representative.
