Notes on using your camera

Screen language

You can select the language displayed on the screen using the menu (page 43).

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 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.

•This camera is compatible with 4K 30p/ 4K 25p/4K 24p recording. Movies can be recorded in a higher resolution.

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.

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

Back up recommendation for a memory card

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

Notes on using your camera

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 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 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.

•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.

•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 importing XAVC S movies and AVCHD movies to a computer

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