ILCE-7M3 Help Guide

Instruction Manual

(this book)

This manual introduces some basic functions.

For the quick start guide, see “Startup guide” (page 22). The “Startup guide” introduces the initial procedures from when you open the package until you release the shutter for the first shot.

In-Camera Guide

The [In-Camera Guide] shows explanations of the menu items on the monitor of the camera.

You can quickly pull up information during shooting.

To use the [In-Camera Guide] function, some settings must be made beforehand. For details, search “In-Camera Guide” in the Help Guide.

Notes on using your camera

Along with this section, also see “Precautions” in the Help Guide (page 2).

Screen language

You can select the language displayed on the screen using the menu (page 70).

Notes on handling the product

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

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

Always attach the lens front cap or body cap when you are not using the camera. To prevent dust or debris from getting inside the camera, remove dust from the body cap before attaching it to the camera.

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.

When you shoot with backlighting, keep the sun sufficiently far away from the angle of view. Otherwise, the sunlight may enter the focus inside the camera and cause smoke or fire. Even if the sun is slightly away from the angle of view, it may still cause smoke or fire.

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

cause the camera to malfunction.

GB

 

• 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 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.

 

 

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 are imperfections due to

the manufacturing process and do not affect the recorded images in any way.

GB

3

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.

In case you may feel uncomfortable, refrain from using the viewfinder until your condition recovers, and consult your doctor as necessary.

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

GB

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 movies

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.

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.

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

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

4

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 hightemperature environment

When someone with poor circulation or impaired skin sensation uses the camera

When using the camera with the [Auto Pwr OFF Temp.] set to [High].

Especially during 4K movie shooting, the recording time may be shorter under low temperature conditions. Warm up the battery pack or replace it with a new battery.

Notes on recording/playback

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

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

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

Playback of images recorded with your product on other equipment and playback of images recorded or edited with other equipment on your product are not guaranteed.

Sony can provide no guarantees in the event of failure to record or

loss or damage of recorded images or audio data due to a malfunction of the camera or recording media, etc. We recommend backing up important data.

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.

Notes on security when using wireless LAN products

Always make sure that you are using a secure wireless LAN to avoid hacking, access by malicious third parties, or other vulnerabilities.

It is important that you set the security settings when using a wireless LAN.

If a security problem arises because no security precautions are in place or due to any inevitable circumstances when using a wireless LAN, Sony bears no responsibility for the loss or damage.
