Notes on using your camera

Shooting procedure

• This camera has two modes for
monitoring subjects: the LCD monitor
mode using the LCD monitor, and the
viewfinder mode using the viewfinder.
• The recorded image may be different
from the image you monitored before
recording.

Notes on the functions available with

the camera

• To check whether it is a 1080 60i-
compatible device or 1080 50i-
compatible device, check for the
following marks on the bottom of the
camera.
1080 60i-compatible device:60i
1080 50i-compatible device:50i
• You may feel uncomfortable symptoms
such as eyestrain, nausea, or a tired
feeling while watching 3D-images
recorded with the camera on 3D-
compatible monitors. When you watch
3D-images, we recommend that you take
a break at regular time intervals. Since
the need for or frequency of break times
varies among individuals, please set your
own standards. If you feel sick, stop
watching 3D-images, and consult a
doctor as needed. Also, refer to the
operating instructions of the connected
device or the software used with the
camera. A child’s vision is always
vulnerable (especially for children under
six years of age). Before allowing them
to watch 3D-images, please consult with
an expert, such as a pediatric or
ophthalmic doctor. Be sure to make sure
your children follow the precautions
above.

No compensation for contents of the

recording

The contents of the recording cannot be
compensated for if recording or playback is
not possible due to a malfunction of your
camera or a memory card, etc.

Back up recommendation

To avoid the potential risk of data loss,
always copy (back up) data to other
medium.

Notes on the LCD monitor, electronic

viewfinder, lens, and image sensor

• The LCD monitor and electronic
viewfinder are manufactured using
extremely high-precision technology so
over 99.99% of the pixels are operational
for effective use. However, there may be
some tiny black points and/or bright
points (white, red, blue or green in color)
that constantly appear on the LCD
monitor and electronic viewfinder. These
points are normal in the manufacturing
process and do not affect the images in
any way.
• When you change your focus on the
viewfinder, red, green, or blue flickers
may appear on the screen. This is not a
malfunction. These flickers are not
recorded on the image.
• Do not expose the camera to sunlight or
shoot sunward for a long time. The
internal mechanism may be damaged. If
sunlight is focused on a nearby object, it
may cause a fire.
• Images may trail across on the screen in a
cold location. This is not a malfunction.
When turning on the camera in a cold
location, the screen may become
temporarily dark. When the camera
warms up, the screen will function
normally.

Note on using the lenses and

accessories

It is recommended that you use Sony
lenses/accessories* designed to suit the
characteristics of this camera. Using the
products of other manufacturers may cause
the camera not to operate to its capability,
or result in accidents and malfunctions of
the camera.
