Phase detection AF

When there are phase detection AF points within the auto focus area,
the product uses the combined autofocus of the phase detection AF and
contrast AF.

Note

• Phase detection AF is available only when an applicable lens is attached. If
you use a lens that does not support phase detection AF, you cannot use
[AF Tracking Sensitivity], [AF Subj. Shift Sensitivity] or [AF Transition Speed].
Also, even if you use a previously purchased applicable lens, the phase
detection AF might not function unless you update the lens.

Focusing on human eyes

The camera can automatically detect faces and eyes and focus on the
eyes (Eye AF). The following explanation is for cases where the detection
target is human. The faces of up to 8 subjects can be detected.
There are two methods for performing [Eye AF], with some differences
between their specifications. Select the appropriate method according to
your purpose.

To focus on the eyes of an animal or a bird

Set [

If the detection target is an animal or a bird, eyes can be detected only
when shooting still images. Faces of animals and birds are not detected.

Note

• The [Eye AF] function may not function very well in the following situations:
– When the person is wearing sunglasses.
– When the front hair covers the person’s eyes.
– In low-light or back-lit conditions.
– When the eyes are closed.
– When the subject is in the shade.
– When the subject is out of focus.
– When the subject is moving too much.

There are also other situations in which it may not be possible to focus on the
eyes.

• When the camera cannot focus on human eyes, it will detect and focus on

the face instead. The camera cannot focus on eyes when no human faces are
detected.

• The camera may not detect faces at all or may accidentally detect other

objects as faces in some conditions.

About this product/Notes on use

Notes on using your camera

Along with this section, also see
“Precautions” in the Help Guide.

Notes on handling the product

• This camera is designed to be dust
resistant and splash resistant, but
it is not guaranteed to completely
prevent the ingress of dust or water
droplets.

• Do not leave the lens or the
viewfinder exposed to a strong light
source such as sunlight. Because
of the lens’s condensing function,
doing so may cause smoke, fire, or
a malfunction inside the camera
body or the lens. If you have to
leave the camera exposed to a light
source such as sunlight, attach the
lens cap to the lens.

• If sunlight or a strong light source
enters the camera through the lens,
it may focus inside the camera and
cause smoke or fire.
Attach the lens cap to the lens
when storing the camera.
When you shoot with backlighting,
keep the sun sufficiently far away
from the angle of view.
Note that smoke or fire may occur
even if the light source is slightly
away from the angle of view.

• 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 sunlight or a strong
light source through the lens when
it is detached. This may result in
unrecoverable damage to the eyes.

• This camera (including accessories)
has magnet(s) which may interfere
with pacemakers, programmable
shunt valves for hydrocephalus
treatment, or other medical devices.
Do not place this camera close to
persons who use such medical
devices. Consult your doctor before
using this camera if you use any
such medical device.

• Increase the volume gradually.
Sudden loud noises can damage
your ears. Be especially careful
when listening to headphones.

• Do not leave the camera, the
supplied accessories, or memory
cards within the reach of infants.
They may be accidentally
swallowed. If this occurs, consult a
doctor immediately.

GB

Notes on the monitor and
electronic viewfinder

• 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, there may be some
small black dots and/or bright
dots (white, red, blue or green in
color) that constantly appear on the
monitor and electronic viewfinder.
These dots are normal due to the
manufacturing process and do not
affect the images in any way.

• 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.

• If the monitor or electronic
viewfinder is damaged, stop using
the camera immediately. The
damaged parts may harm your
hands, face, etc.

Notes on continuous shooting

During continuous shooting, the
monitor or viewfinder may flash
between the shooting screen and a
black screen. If you keep watching
the screen in this situation, you may
experience uncomfortable symptoms
such as feeling of unwellness. If you
experience uncomfortable symptoms,
stop using the camera, and consult
your doctor as necessary.

Notes on recording for long
periods of time or recording 4K/8K
movies

• The camera body and battery may
become warm with use – this is
normal.

• If the same part of your skin
touches the camera for a long
period of time while using the
camera, even if the camera does
not feel hot to you, it may cause
symptoms of a low-temperature
burn such as redness or blistering.
Pay special attention in the following
situations and use a tripod, etc.

– When using the camera in a high-

temperature environment

– When someone with poor

circulation or impaired skin
sensation uses the camera

– When using the camera with the

[Auto Power OFF Temp.] set to
[High].

Notes on using memory cards

• When recording is finished, the
memory card may become hot. This
is not a malfunction.

(overheating warning icon) is

• If
displayed on the monitor, do not
remove the memory card from the
camera right away. Instead, wait for
a while after turning off the camera,
and then remove the memory card.
If you touch the memory card while
it is hot, you may drop it and the
memory card may be damaged.
Be careful when removing the
memory card.
