Preparation

Care of this Camera

To avoid damaging your camera and to experience the maximum enjoyment you should exercise the following precautions.

• The lens, monitor and the camera body can sustain da mage if the camera body is drop ped or

subjected to excessive temperature, moisture, water or dust.

• The monitor can be damaged if excessive pressure is applied to the screen surface, durin g

actual use or while cleaning.

∫ Splash Proof

Splash Proof is a term used to describe an extra level of protection this camera offers against exposure to a minimal amount of moisture, water or dust. Splash Proof does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this camera is subjected to direct contact with water.

In order to minimise the possibility of damage please be sure the following precautions are taken:

–

The Splash Proof feature works in conjunction with the H-HS12035 and H-HS35100 lenses that were specifically designed to support this feature.

– Make sure the built-in flash is closed. – Make sure that all doors, socket caps and terminal covers are securely closed. – Make sure that you are in a dry and secure place when changing the battery, lens or memory

card. After changing, make sure their protective doors are securely closed.

– If this camera is exposed to water, sand or any other foreign material clean it as soon as

possible, taking the ne cessary precautions that the foreign substance does not get inside the camera.

– Under no circumstances should you touch or place any foreign objects within the camera or

in close proximity of the camera’s image sensor.

∫ Condensation

•

Condensation may occur on the lens, monitor or in the viewfinder when the room temperature or humidity changes rapidly. This may cause the image to temporarily become hazy. If this occurs, turn the camera off and allow the camera to sit in a temperature stable environment for several minutes. It will clear by itself.

• If you know that you will be moving between areas where there will be a large change in

temperature or humidity, you can help prevent condensation forming on the camera by placing the camera in a large plastic zipper bag, so condensation will form on the bag, not the camera. Allow the temperature to stabilise before removing the camera from the bag.

About the operation sound that is produced when you stop recording

Since motion picture recording stops only after you press the motion picture button, the sound of the operation may be noticeable. If the sound bothers you, try the following:

–

Divide the last part of the motion picture using [Video Divide] (P74) in the [Playback] menu. The motion picture may not be divided near the very end of it. To avoid this, record approximately 3 seconds lo nger.

– Set the camera to Creative Video Mode, and use a shutter remote control (optional) to

record motion pictures.

• Maximum time to record motion pictures continuously with [AVCHD] is 29 minutes 59 seconds.

• When the motion picture size is set to [FHD], [HD] or [VGA] in [MP4], you can continuously

record a motion picture up to 29 minutes 59 seconds or until the file size rea ches 4 GB. You can check the re cordable time on the scree n.

– Since the file size becomes larger with [FHD], recording with [FHD] will stop before 29

minutes 59 seconds.

• When the motion picture size is set to [4K] in [MP4], the maximum time to record motion

pictures continuously is 29 minutes 59 seconds. You can continuously record a motion picture with its size set to [4K] in [MP4] without a pause

even if the motion picture exceeds 4 GB. However, the recorded content has to be played ba ck as multiple files.

• Maximum time to record motion pictures continuously with [MP4 (LPCM)]/[MOV] is 29 minutes

59 seconds. Though a [MP4 (LPCM)]/[MOV] motion picture can be recorded continuously without a pause even when its file size exceeds 4 GB, the recorded content is played back with multiple files.

•

“ALL-Intra” refers to a data compression method in which each frame is compressed. The file size of motion pictures recorded in this method becomes larger, but this method can prevent the loss of image quality because editing does not require re-encoding.

• What is bit rate

This is the volume of data for a definite period of time, and the quality becomes higher when the number gets bigger.

• Depending on the [Rec Format] and [Rec Quality] of a motion picture, the speed
