• Continuous shooting is possible for approximately 29 minutes (a product

specification limit). However, the duration of time available for continuous movie recording varies under the following conditions. – High Frame Rate shooting: Approximately 7 minutes at [30p 16M]/[25p 16M];

approximately 5 minutes 30 seconds at [24p 12M]

– When the file format is set to MP4 (28M): Approximately 20 minutes (limited

by file size of 4 GB)

• The recordable time of movies varies because the camera is equipped with VBR

(Variable Bit-Rate), which automatically adjusts image quality depending on the shooting scene. When you record a fast-moving subject, the image is clearer but the recordable time is shorter because more memory is required for recording. The recordable time also varies depending on the shooting conditions, the subject or the image quality/size settings.

Notes on continuous movie recording

• It requires a lot of power to perform high quality movie recording or continuous

shooting using the image sensor. Therefore, if you continue to shoot, the temperature inside the camera will rise, especially that of the image sensor. In such cases, the camera turns off automatically since higher temperatures affect the quality of the images or affect the internal mechanism of the camera.

• The duration of time available for movie recording is as follows when the camera

starts recording with the camera’s default settings after the power of the camera has been turned off for a while. (The following values indicate the continuous time from when the camera starts recording until the camera stops recording.)

Ambient temperature

20°C (68°F) About 29 minutes About 20 minutes

30°C (86°F) About 29 minutes About 20 minutes

40°C (104°F) About 29 minutes About 20 minutes

HD: XAVC S HD 60p 50M/50p 50M 4K: XAVC S 4K 24p 60M

• The duration of time available for movie recording varies with the temperature,

the recording format/setting, or condition of the camera before you start recording. If you frequently recompose or shoot images after the power is turned on, the temperature inside the camera will rise and the recording time available will be shorter.

• When is indicated, stop recording the movie.

• If the camera stops recording due to the temperature, leave it for several minutes

with the power turned off. Start recording after the temperature inside the camera drops fully.

Notes on using the camera

Functions built into this camera

• This 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. This increases the resolution, and provides a smoother, more realistic image.

• This camera is compatible with 4K 30p/4K 25p/4K 24p recording. Movies can be recorded in a higher resolution than HD format.

On use and care

Avoid rough handling, disassembling, modifying, physical shock, or impact such as hammering, dropping, or stepping on the product. Be particularly careful of the lens.

Notes on recording/playback

• Before you start recording, make a trial recording to make sure that the camera is working correctly.

• This camera is designed to be dust and moisture-resistant, but is not waterproof or splash-proof.

• Do not directly expose the lens to beams such as laser beams. That may damage the image sensor and cause the camera to malfunction.

• Do not look at the sun or a strong light through a removed lens. This may cause irrecoverable damage to your eyes. Or it may cause a malfunction of the lens.

• If moisture condensation occurs, remove it before using the camera.

• Do not shake or strike the camera. It may cause a malfunction and you may not be able to record images. Furthermore, the recording media may become unusable or image data may be damaged.

Do not use/store the camera in the following places

• In an extremely hot, cold or humid place In places such as in a car parked in the sun, the camera body may become deformed and this may cause a malfunction.

• Under direct sunlight or near a heater The camera body may become discolored or deformed, and this may cause a malfunction.

• In a location subject to shaking or vibration

• Near a location that generates strong radio waves, emits radiation or is strongly magnetic In such locations, the camera may not properly record or play back images.

• In sandy or dusty places Be careful not to let sand or dust get into the camera. This may cause the camera to malfunction, and in some cases this malfunction cannot be repaired.

On storing

Be sure to attach the front lens cap when not using the camera.

Page 41

Notes on the monitor, electronic viewfinder and lens

• The monitor and electronic viewfinder are manufactured using extremely high-

precision technology, and over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, some tiny black and/or bright dots (white, red, blue or green) may appear on the monitor and electronic viewfinder. These dots are a normal result of the manufacturing process, and do not affect the recording.

• Do not hold the camera by the monitor.

• When the lens is operating, be careful not to let your finger be caught by the lens.

About the magnets

There are magnets attached to the back of the monitor and in the area around the flash. Do not put objects that are affected by magnetic fields, such as a floppy disk or a credit card to the monitor or the camera body.

Notes on shooting with the viewfinder

When shooting with the viewfinder, you may experience symptoms such as eyestrain, fatigue, travel sickness, or nausea. We recommend that you take a break at regular intervals when you are shooting with the viewfinder. The required length or frequency of the break may differ depending on the individuals, so you are advised to decide at your own discretion. In case you may feel uncomfortable, refrain from using the viewfinder until your condition recovers, and consult your doctor as necessary.

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.

Notes on the flash

• Do not carry the camera by the flash unit, or use excessive force on it.

• If water, dust or sand get into the open flash unit, it may cause a malfunction.

• Be sure to keep your fingers out of the way when you press the flash down.

On camera’s temperature

Camera body and battery may get warm with use – this is normal.

On the overheat protection

Depending on the camera and battery temperature, you may be unable to record movies or the power may turn off automatically to protect the camera. A message will be displayed on the monitor before the power turns off or when you can no longer record movies. In this case, leave the power off and wait until the camera and battery temperature goes down. If you turn on the power without letting the camera and battery cool down enough, the power may turn off again or you may be unable to record movies.

Page 42

On charging the battery

If you charge a battery that has not been used for a long time, you may be unable to charge it to the proper capacity. This is due to the battery characteristics. Charge the battery again.

On focal length

The picture angle of this camera is narrower than that of a 35 mm-format camera. You can find the approximate equivalent of the focal length of a 35 mm-format camera, and shoot with the same picture angle, by increasing the focal length of your lens by half. For example, by using a 50 mm lens, you can get the approximate equivalent of a 75 mm lens of a 35 mm-format camera.
