Notes on using your camera

Screen language

You can select the language displayed on the screen using the menu.

Shooting procedure

This camera has 2 modes for monitoring subjects: the LCD screen mode using the LCD screen, and the viewfinder mode using the viewfinder.

Functions built into this camera

• This manual describes 1080 60icompatible devices and 1080 50icompatible devices. To check whether your camera is a 1080 60i-compatible device or 1080 50icompatible device, check for the following marks on the bottom of the camera. 1080 60i-compatible device: 60i 1080 50i-compatible device: 50i

• 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.

Creating an image database file

If you insert a memory card that does not contain an image database file into the camera and turn on the power, the camera automatically creates an image database file using some of the memory card's capacity. The process may take a long time and you cannot operate the camera until the process is completed. If a database file error occurs, export all images to your computer using “PlayMemories Home,” and then format the memory card using the camera.

Shooting with an E-mount lens compatible APS-C size

This camera is equipped with a 35 mm, full-frame CMOS sensor. However, the image size is automatically set to that of the APS-C size setting and the image size is smaller when an E-mount lens compatible APS-C size is used (default settings).

No compensation for damaged content or recording failure

Sony cannot compensate for failure to record or loss or damage of recorded content due to a malfunction of the camera or recording media, etc.

Back up recommendation

To avoid the data loss, always copy (back up) data to other media.

Notes on the LCD screen, electronic viewfinder, lens, and image sensor

• The LCD screen and electronic viewfinder are manufactured using extremely high-precision technology so over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, there may be some tiny black points and/or bright points (white, red, blue or green in color) that constantly appear on the LCD screen and electronic viewfinder. These points are normal in the manufacturing process and do not affect the images in any way.

• Do not hold the camera by the LCD screen.

• When using the power zoom lens, be careful not to draw your fingers or any other objects caught in the lens.

• Do not expose the camera to sunlight or shoot sunward for a long time. The internal mechanism may be damaged. If sunlight is focused on a nearby object, it may cause a fire.

• Images may trail across on the screen in a

cold location. This is not a malfunction. When turning on the camera in a cold location, the screen may become temporarily dark. When the camera warms up, the screen will function normally.

• The recorded image may be different from the image you monitored before recording.

Notes on recording for long periods of time

• 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 screen before the power turns off or 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 enough, the power may turn off again or you may be unable to record movies.

• Under high ambient temperatures, the temperature of the camera rises quickly.

• When the temperature of the camera rises, the image quality may deteriorate. It is recommended that you wait until the temperature of the camera drops before continuing to shoot.

• The surface of the camera may get warm. This is not a malfunction.

Notes on importing AVCHD movies to a computer

When importing AVCHD movies to a computer, download and use the software “PlayMemories Home” from the following website: http://www.sony.net/pm/

Notes on using your camera

Notes when playing movies on other devices

• This camera uses MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 High Profile for AVCHD format recording. Movies recorded in AVCHD format with this camera cannot be played with the following devices. – Other devices compatible with

AVCHD format that do not support High Profile

– Devices incompatible with the

AVCHD format This camera also uses MPEG-4 AVC/ H.264 Main Profile for MP4 format recording. For this reason, movies recorded in MP4 format with this camera cannot be played on devices other than those that support MPEG-4 AVC/H.264.

• Discs recorded with HD (high definition) image quality can be played back only on AVCHD format-compatible devices. DVD-based players or recorders cannot play back HD image quality discs, as they are incompatible with the AVCHD format. Also, DVD-based players or recorders may fail to eject HD image quality discs.

• Movies recorded in 1080 60p/1080 50p format can be played back only on 1080 60p/1080 50p-supported devices.

Warning on copyright

On the data specifications described

in this manual

The data on performance and specifications are defined under the following conditions, except as described in this manual: at an ordinary ambient temperature of 25ºC (77°F), and using a battery pack that has been fully charged until the charge lamp has turned off.

Notes on shooting with the viewfinder

This camera is equipped with an Organic Electro-Luminescence viewfinder with high resolution and high contrast. This viewfinder achieves a wide viewing angle and a long eye relief. This camera is designed to provide an easily viewable viewfinder by appropriately balancing various elements.

• The image may be slightly distorted near the corners of the viewfinder. This is not a malfunction. When you want to check every detail of the entire composition, you can also use the LCD screen.

How to turn off wireless network functions (Wi-Fi and NFC, etc.) temporarily

When you board an airplane, etc., you can turn off all wireless network functions temporarily. Select MENU t [Wireless] t [Airplane Mode] t [On]. If you set [Airplane Mode] to [On], an (airplane) mark will be displayed on the screen.

• When the charge lamp flashes and charging is not finished, remove and reinsert the battery pack.

Charge lamp Lit: Charging Off: Charging finished Flashing:

Charging error or charging paused temporarily because the camera is not within the proper temperature range

Notes

• If the charge lamp on the camera flashes when the AC Adaptor is connected to the wall outlet (wall socket), this indicates that charging is temporarily stopped because the temperature is outside the recommended range. When the temperature gets back within the appropriate range, the charging resumes. We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10°C to 30°C (50ºF to 86ºF).

• Connect the AC Adaptor (supplied) to the nearest wall outlet (wall socket). If malfunctions occur while using the AC Adaptor, disconnect the plug from the wall outlet (wall socket) immediately to disconnect from the power source.

• When the camera is being used for the first time or when you use a battery pack that has not been used for a long time, the charge lamp may flash quickly when the battery is charged for the first time. If that happens, remove the battery pack from the camera and then re-insert it to recharge.

• Do not continuously or repeatedly charge the battery without using it if it is already fully charged or close to fully charged. Doing so may cause a deterioration in battery performance.

• When charging is finished, disconnect the AC Adaptor from the wall outlet (wall socket).

• Be sure to use only genuine Sony brand battery packs, micro USB cable (supplied) and AC Adaptor (supplied).

Charging the battery pack

Charging time (Full charge)

The charging time is approximately 310 min. using the AC Adaptor (supplied).

Notes

• The above charging time applies when charging a fully depleted battery pack at a temperature of 25°C (77°F). Charging may take longer depending on conditions of use and circumstances.

Charging by connecting to a computer

The battery pack can be charged by connecting the camera to a computer using a micro USB cable.

Notes

• Note the following points when charging via a computer: – If the camera is connected to a laptop computer that is not connected to a power

source, the laptop battery level decreases. Do not charge for an extended period of time.

– Do not turn on/off or restart the computer, or wake the computer to resume from

sleep mode when a USB connection has been established between the computer and the camera. The camera may cause a malfunction. Before turning on/off, or restarting the computer or waking the computer from sleep mode, disconnect the camera and the computer.

– No guarantees are made for charging using a custom-built computer or a modified

computer.
