Introduction of functions

is section introduces some frequently-used shooting functions and characteristic functions. See the pages in parentheses for details.

Shooting functions used frequently

Exposure compensation (102)

You can compensate the exposure to adjust the brightness of the entire screen. Even when the exposure mode is set to M, the exposure can be compensated if the ISO sensitivity is set to [AUTO].

ISO sensitivity (122)/Multi frame noise reduction (122)

You can set the sensitivity to light. e ISO sensitivity can be adjusted between ISO 50 and ISO 25600. When you select (Multi Frame Noise Reduct.), you can select larger ISO numbers than the maximum ISO sensitivity.

White balance (131)

You can adjust the color tones. You can select an option to suit a light source, or perform a ne adjustment by combining the color temperature with the color lter.

Drive mode (106)

You can use an appropriate drive mode to suit your purposes, such as single-shot advanced, continuous advanced, bracket, or shooting with a Wireless Remote Commander.

Original characteristic functions

AF Range Control (94)

You can restrict the autofocus range to prevent unintended subjects from being focused on.

DRO/Auto HDR (124)

D-Range Optimizer: By dividing the image into small areas, the camera analyses the contrast of light and shadow between the subject and the background, producing the image with the optimal brightness and gradation.

Page 9

Introduction of functions

Auto HDR: Shoots 3 images with dierent exposures, and then overlays these images to create an image with rich gradation.

Creative Style (128)

You can select the desired style from among 13 styles. You can also adjust certain factors of the images, such as the exposure, by using the selected style as the base.

Hand-held Twilight (69)

You can shoot night scenes with less noise and blur without using a tripod.

Movie recording with manual adjustments (151)

You can adjust the exposure in P, A, S, M mode during movie recording.

How to operate or customize the camera

Screen information (83)

When you look into the viewnder, the viewnder mode is activated, and when you take your face away from the viewnder, the viewing mode returns to the LCD screen mode. You can change the screen mode by pressing the DISP button.

Quick Navi (28)

In viewnder mode, you can quickly switch the LCD screen to the Quick Navi screen by pressing the Fn button. You can set the items with an intuitive operation.

e camera is equipped with a custom button that can be assigned a desired function.You can also assign functions to other buttons, such as the AEL button, or the ISO button.

Page 10

Notes on using your camera

Screen language

You can select the language displayed on the screen using the menu (page10).

Shooting procedure

is camera has 2 modes for monitoring subjects: the LCD screen mode using the LCD screen, and the viewnder mode using the viewnder.

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

• is camera is compatible with 1080 60p or 50p-format movies. Unlike standard recording modes up to now, which record in an interlacing method, this camera records using a progressive method. is increases the resolution, and provides a smoother, more realistic image.

Shooting with a DT lens

is camera is equipped with a 35 mm, full-frame CMOS sensor, however, the image size is automatically set to that of the APS-C size setting, and the image size is smaller when a DT lens (“DT” is attached to the product name) is used.

No compensation for contents of the

recording

e 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 screen, electronic viewnder, lens, and image sensor

• e LCD screen and electronic viewnder are manufactured using extremely high-precision technology so over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for eective 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 screen and electronic viewnder. ese points are normal in the manufacturing process and do not aect the images in any way.

• Do not hold the camera by the LCD screen.

• Do not expose the camera to sunlight or shoot sunward for a long time. e internal mechanism may be damaged. If sunlight is focused on a nearby object, it may cause a re.

• ere is a magnet on the back and around the rotating sha of the

Page 11

hinge part of the LCD screen. Do not bring anything that is easily aected by a magnet, such as oppy disks or credit cards, near the LCD screen.

• Images may trail across on the screen in a cold location. is 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.

• e recorded image may be dierent from the image you monitored before recording.

Notes on long-time recording

• When you continue to shoot for a long time, the temperature of the camera rises. If the temperature reaches above a certain level, the icon appears on the screen and the camera turns itself o automatically. If the power is turned o, leave the camera for 10 minutes or longer to allow the temperature inside the camera to decrease to a safe level.

• Under high ambient temperatures, the temperature of the camera rises quickly.

• When the temperature of the camera rises, the image quality may deteriorate. It is recommended that you wait until the temperature of the camera drops before continuing to shoot.

• e surface of the camera may get

Notes on using your camera

warm. is is not a malfunction.

Notes on importing AVCHD movies to a computer

When importing AVCHD movies to a computer, for Windows computers, use the “PlayMemories Home” soware on the CD-ROM (supplied).

Notes when playing movies on other devices

• is camera uses MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 High Prole for AVCHD format recording. Movies recorded in AVCHD format with this camera cannot be played with the following devices.

• Other devices compatible with AVCHD format that does not support High Prole

• Devices incompatible with the AVCHD format

• is camera also uses MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 Main Prole for MP4 format recording. For this reason, movies recorded in MP4 format with this camera cannot be played on devices other than those that support MPEG-4 AVC/H.264.

• Discs recorded with HD image quality (high denition) can be played back only on AVCHD format-compatible devices. DVDbased players or recorders cannot play back HD image quality discs, as they are incompatible with the AVCHD format. Also, DVD-based

Page 12

players or recorders may fail to eject HD image quality discs.

• 1080 60p/50p movies can be played back on compatible devices only.

On GPS-compatible devices

To determine whether your camera supports GPS function, check the model name of your camera. GPS-compatible: HV GPS-incompatible: HV-Chinese Version Use GPS in accordance with regulations of countries and regions where you use it. If you do not record the location information, set [GPS On/O] to [O] (page185). In an airplane, make sure to turn o the camera following cabin announcements.

Warning on copyright

Television programs, lms, videotapes, and other materials may be copyrighted. Unauthorized recording of such materials may be contrary to the provisions of the copyright laws.

The pictures used in this manual

e photographs used as examples of pictures in this manual are reproduced images, and are not actual images shot using this camera.

On the data specications described in this manual

e data on performance and specications is dened under the following conditions, except as

Notes on using your camera

described in this manual: at an ordinary ambient temperature of 25ºC (77°F), and using a battery pack that has been fully charged for about 1 hour aer the CHARGE lamp has turned o.

Notes on shooting with the viewnder

is camera is equipped with an XGA Organic Electro-Luminescence viewnder with high resolution and high contrast. is viewnder achieves a wide viewing angle and a long eye relief. is camera is designed to provide an easily viewable viewnder by appropriately balancing various elements.

• e image may be slightly distorted near the corners of the viewnder. is is not a malfunction. When you want to check every detail of the entire composition, you can also use the LCD screen.

• If you pan the camera while looking into the viewnder or move your eyes around, the image in the viewnder may be distorted or the color of the image may change. is is a characteristic of the lens or display device and is not a malfunction. When you shoot an image, we recommend that you look at the center area of the viewnder.
