<Important> Notes About Shockproof, Waterproof, and Dustproof
Performance and Condensation

Notes About Operating Temperature, Humidity, and Condensation

The operation of this camera has been tested at temperatures from −10°C to +40°C
(14°F to 104°F).
When you use the camera in cold climate regions or at high altitudes, observe the
following precautions.

• Battery performance deteriorates temporarily when cold. Keep the camera and
batteries warm under your clothing before use.

• Camera performance may deteriorate temporarily if it is exposed to extreme cold
for an extended period. For example, the monitor may appear darker than normal
immediately after the camera is turned on, or residual images may be produced.

● Environmental conditions that are likely to cause condensation

Fogging (condensation) may occur on the inside of the monitor, lens, or underwater
lens protector when there are sharp temperature changes or high humidity, such as in
the environmental conditions described below. This is not a malfunction or defect.

• The camera is suddenly immersed in cold water after being in a hot place on land.

• The camera is brought to a warm place such as inside a building after being in the

cold outdoors.

• The battery-chamber/memory card slot cover is opened or closed in a high­humidity environment.

• The camera or underwater lens protector is wet when the underwater lens
protector is attached.

● Clearing the fogging

• Turn off the camera and open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover while
in a place where the ambient temperature is stable (avoid places with high
temperature, high humidity, sand, or dust).
To clear the fogging from the lens or monitor, remove the battery and memory
card, and leave the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover open to allow the
camera to adjust to the ambient temperature. When the underwater lens protector
is fogged, remove it.

• If the underwater lens protector is still fogged, try to clear the fogging by removing
the underwater lens protector and using the camera for a while before attaching it
again.

Notes About Waterproof Performance of the Remote Control

The remote control is rated equivalent to JIS/IEC waterproof class 7 (IPX7), and it is
confirmed that water does not seep inside when soaked underwater at a depth of 1 m
(3.2 ft) for up to 30 minutes.

- The remote control cannot be used underwater.

Operations During Movie Recording

Notes About Movie Recording

B Notes About Memory Cards

Memory cards with a microSDXC Speed Class rating of 6 or faster are recommended for
recording movies.

• When the size/frame rate of the movie is set to 2160/30p (4K UHD) or 2160/25p (4K
UHD), memory cards with a UHS Speed Class rating of 3 or better are recommended.

• When using a memory card with a lower Speed Class rating, movie recording may stop
unexpectedly.

B Notes About Saving Images or Movies

The status lamps flash red slowly while images or movies are being sa ved. Do not open the
battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the battery or memory card

while an indicator is flashing. Doing this could result in loss of data, or in damage to the
camera or the memory card.

B Camera Temperature

• The camera may become hot when recording movies for an extended period of time or
when the camera is used in a hot area.

• If the inside of the camera becomes extremely hot when recording movies, an alert
message is displayed on the screen for about five seconds and the status lamps flash red
quickly. Then, the camera automatically turns off.
Leave the camera off until the inside of the camera has cooled.

B Notes About Recording at Low Temperature

When the battery temperature is below 0°C (32°F), movies with the size/frame rate set to
2160/30p, 2160/25p, HS 1080/4×, or HS 720/8× cannot be recorded.

• If the battery temperature is below 0°C (32°F) before you start recording, the size/frame
rate of the movie switches to 1080/30p or 1080/25 p.

• If the size/frame rate of the movie is set to 2160/30p, 2160/25p, HS 1080/4×, or HS
720/8× and the battery temperature drops to below 0°C (32°F) while recording, the

camera stops recording and automatically turns off. The recorded movie is saved.

Movies

Operations During Movie Recording

B Notes About Recorded Movies

• The following phenomena may be seen in the monitor while recording movies. These
phenomena are saved in the recorded movies.

- Banding may occur in images under fluorescent, mercury-vapor, or sodium-vapor lighting.

- Subjects that move quickly from one side of the frame to the other, such as a moving

train or car, may appear skewed.

- The entire movie image may be skewed when the camera is panned.

- Lighting or other bright areas may leave residual images when the camera is moved.

• Depending on the distance to the subject, colored stripes may appear on subjects with
repeating patterns (fabrics, lattice windows, etc.) during movie recording and playback.
This occurs when the pattern in the subject and the layout of the image sensor interfere
with each other; it is not a malfunction.

B Notes About Vibration Reduction During Movie Recording

When Electronic VR (A65) in Movie is set to On, the angle of view (i.e., the area visible in
the frame) becomes narrower during movie recording.

B Notes About Operating the Camera Buttons

If the camera buttons are pressed while recording a movie, the sound of the button
operation may be recorded.

C Movie Frame

• The area that is captured in a movie varies depending on the Movie options settings in
Movie in the c (setup) menu.

• If Photo info in Monitor settings (A71) in Camera settings in the c (setup) menu is
set to Movie frame+auto info, you can confirm the area that will be captured in a movie
before you start recording.

C Movies Over 4 GB in Size

• The frames of a movie that were recorded when a still image was being captured may not
play back smoothly.

Adding Tags During Movie Recording (Highlight Tags)

You can add tags while recording a movie by pressing the w button on the remote
control (default setting). You can use the tags as a guide to quickly find a particular
scene when playing back the movie (A45), or you can easily create a highlight
movie based around the tags. The tags can also be used as a guide when editing the
movie in the camera (A47).

B Notes About Using the w Button

Make sure that Insert highlight tag is selected for the Remote Fn button (A75) setting
in Camera settings in the c (setup) menu.

B Notes About Restrictions for Adding Tags During Recording

suited for speeding up the motion of a subject that is recorded while the camera is
moving.

• E Loop recording (A42)

After recording a movie for a specified time, the camera continues recording the
movie while deleting the recorded movie data from the beginning. Only the most
recent data is saved on the memory card, resulting in a movie of the specified
length. Although five separate movie files are recorded, they are played back as a
single movie on the camera.

• F Time-lapse movie (A43)
