1	Press the lens release button all the way in and turn the GB
	lens counterclockwise until it stops.

Notes

•If dust or debris gets inside the camera while you are changing the lens and adheres to the surface of the image sensor (the part that converts the light source to a digital signal), it may appear as dark spots on the image, depending on the shooting environment. The camera vibrates slightly when it is turned off, due to the anti-dust function, to prevent dust from adhering to the image sensor. However, attach or remove the lens quickly somewhere away from dusty locations.

•If foreign material attaches to the image sensor, dust it off using a blower.

•Do not leave the camera with the lens removed.

•When you want to use body caps or rear lens caps, please purchase ALC-B1EM (Body cap) or ALC-R1EM (Rear lens cap) (sold separately).

•When you use a lens with a power zoom, set the power switch of the camera to OFF and confirm that the lens is completely retracted before switching lenses. If the lens has not retracted, do not press the lens in by force.

•When attaching the camera to a tripod, be sure not to touch the zooming/focusing ring by mistake.

Functions built into this camera

	• The recordable time of movies varies because the camera is equipped with VBR
	(Variable Bit-Rate), which automatically adjusts the imageDownloadedquality pending on
	the shooting scene. When you record a fast-moving subject, the image is clearer
		from
	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
		www
	or the image quality/size settings.	.
