Before use

Notes on using your camera

Screen language

You can select the language displayed
on the screen using the menu (page 42).

Shooting procedure

This camera has 2 modes for monitoring
subjects: the monitor mode using the
monitor, 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.

Notes on recording/playback

• In order to stabilize the operation of the
memory card, it is recommended that you
format the memory card on the camera
when you use it with that camera for the
first time.
Once you format the memory card, all the
data recorded on the memory card will be
deleted and cannot be restored. Before
formatting, copy the data to a computer
or other device.

• If you repeatedly record and delete
images over a long period, the files on the
memory card may become fragmented
and movie recording may be suspended
partway through. If this occurs, copy the
data to a computer or other device and
then perform [Format].

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

Back up recommendation for a
memory card

If you turn the camera off or remove the
battery pack or the memory card while the
access lamp is flashing, the data on the
memory card may become broken. To
avoid data loss, always copy (back up) data
to another device.

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.

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).

Notes on the monitor, electronic
viewfinder, lens, and image sensor

• The monitor and electronic viewfinder
are manufactured using extremely high­precision 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.

• Do not hold the camera by the monitor.

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

• Do not expose the camera to a strong
light source such as a sunlight. The
internal components may become
damaged.

• 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 or
cause a malfunction.

• Do not use the camera in areas where
strong radio waves or radiation are being
emitted. Recording and playback may not
function correctly.

Notes on using your camera

• 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 using the lenses and
accessories

It is recommended that you use Sony
lenses/accessories designed to suit the
characteristics of this camera. Using this
camera with products from other
manufacturers may affect its performance,
leading to accidents or malfunction. Sony
bears no responsibility for such accidents or
malfunction.

Notes on the multi interface shoe

• When attaching or detaching accessories
such as an external flash to the multi
interface shoe, first turn the power to
OFF. When attaching the accessories,
tighten the screws all the way and
confirm that it is firmly fastened to the
camera.

• Do not use an external flash with a high
voltage flash sync terminal or inverse
polarity. This may result in malfunction.

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.

GB

10

• The image may be slightly distorted near
the corners of the viewfinder. This is not
a malfunction. When you want to see the
full composition with all its details, you
can also use the monitor.

• If you pan the camera while looking into
the viewfinder or move your eyes around,
the image in the viewfinder may be
distorted or the color of the image may
change. This is a characteristic of the lens
or display device and is not a
malfunction. When you shoot an image,
we recommend that you look at the
center area of 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.

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.

Notes on using your camera

• 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.

Charging the battery pack

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 you charge the battery for the first time or after an extended period of disuse,
the charge lamp may flash rapidly. 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 time (Full charge)

The charging time is approximately 150 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.

camera turned off.

Notes

• 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.

camera and set the power switch to ON,
the number of images that can be
recorded (should you continue to shoot
using the current settings) is displayed on
the screen.

Checking the number of images and recordable time of movies

Notes

• 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.

• The values shown are not for continuous recording time.

• The recording time may differ depending on shooting conditions and the memory
card used.

• For details on movie playback, see page 63.

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 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 Continuous recording time for movies

20°C (68°F) About 29 minutes
30°C (86°F) About 29 minutes

40°C (104°F) About 29 minutes

• The duration of time available for movie recording varies with the temperature 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. The temperature inside the camera
has increased to an unacceptable level.

• 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.

GB

Checking the number of images and recordable time of movies

• If you observe the following points, the recording time will be longer.
– Keep the camera out of direct sunlight.
– Turn the camera off when it is not being used.

• The maximum continuous recording time is 29 minutes.

• The maximum size of a movie file is about 2 GB, when [ File Format] is set to
[AVCHD]. When the file size is about 2 GB, a new movie file is created
automatically.

Caractéristiques de cet appareil

Opti Dyn/HDR aut (73)

[Opti Dyna] : L’appareil divise l’image en petites zones, ce qui lui permet
d’analyser le contraste ombre-lumière entre le sujet et l’arrière-plan. Il peut
ainsi produire une image à la luminosité et à la gradation optimales.
[HDR auto] : L’appareil prend trois photos en leur appliquant des
expositions différentes. Il superpose ensuite ces images pour obtenir une
image finale à la gradation plus intense.
