•The interchangeable lens (H-FS12032) does not have a focus ring, but you can use manual focus by operating the camera. (P107)
•The interchangeable lens (H-H020A) utilises a lens drive system to realize a compact and bright F1.7 lens. As a result, sound and vibration may occur during focus operation, but this is not a malfunction.
•Operating sounds will be recorded when auto focus is performed during motion picture recording. It is recommended to record with [Continuous AF] (P164) set to [OFF], if the sound of operation bothers you. (P160) Also, it is not possible to set the Focus Mode to [AFC] or [AFF]. (P97)

2. Getting Started/Basic Operations
•The operating times and number of recordable pictures will differ according to the environment and the operating conditions.
For example, in the following cases, the operating times shorten and the number of recordable pictures is reduced.
–In low-temperature environments, such as on ski slopes.
–When flash is used repeatedly.
•When the operating time of the camera becomes extremely short even after properly charging the battery, the life of the battery may have expired. Buy a new battery.
