The following new functions will be provided by this firmware upgrade.

Using an A-mount lens with the LA-EA2 Mount Adaptor (sold separately), you can take

advantage of the phase-detection AF feature to shoot images.

• You may not be able to use the LA-EA2 Mount Adaptor with certain lenses. You may not use
autofocusing with certain lenses attached via the Mount Adaptor. Consult your Sony dealer or local
authorized Sony service facility for advice on compatible lenses.
• When the lens has a focusing mode switch (AF/MF), set the focu sing mode with the switch of the lens.
When the lens does not have the switch, set the focusing mode on the menu.
• It ma y take a long time or may be difficult for the camera to focus , depending on the lens used or the
subject.

• The following functions do not work when the LA-EA2 Mount Adaptor is attached.

– [Face Detection]
• The noise of the camera and lens in autofocusing operat ion may be recorded during movie recording.

by selecting [Menu] t [Setup] t [Movie Audio Rec] t [Off].
• Apert ure is set to F3.5 when you record movies with autof ocusing. When you are using a lens with an

until you stop recording. You cannot change the aperture setting while rec ording a movie.

• If the camcorder focuses automatically during movie recording, the noise of the camcorder and lens in the
autofocusing operation is recorded. You can reduce the noise by connectin g an external microphone with
a 3.5-mm-diameter mini-plug to the microphone jack of the camcorder, and placing the microphone as far
away from the camcorder as possible. If you want to eliminate the noise completely, it is recommended
that you select MENU t [Setup] t [Movie Audio Rec] t [Off].
