DSC-RX100M5A Help Guide

Instruction Manual

(this book)

This manual introduces some basic functions.

For the quick start guide, see “Startup guide” (page14). 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 25).

Notes on handling the product

• The camera is neither dust-proof, nor splash-proof, nor water-proof. See “Precautions” in the Help Guide.

• If water, dust, or sand gets inside the open viewfinder unit or flash unit, it may cause a malfunction.

• Remove any dirt from the surface of the flash. Dirt on the surface of the flash may emit smoke or burn due to heat generated by the emission of light. If there is dirt/dust, clean it off with a soft cloth.

• Do not cover the flash with your fingers.

• Do not sit down in a chair or other place with the camera in the back pocket of your trousers or skirt, as this may cause a malfunction or damage the camera.

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

• Make sure that your finger is not in the way when you push down the viewfinder or flash.

• Do not carry the camera by the viewfinder unit, or use excessive strength on it.

• Do not force down the viewfinder when the eye piece is pulled out.

• 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.

• When you shoot with backlighting, keep the sun sufficiently far away from the angle of view. Otherwise, the sunlight may 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.

• Before you connect the cable to the terminal, be sure to check the orientation of the terminal. Then, insert the cable straight. Do not insert or remove the cable forcefully. This may cause the terminal part to break.

• 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.

• 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 if necessary.

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

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.

Page 5

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

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

• 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 high-

temperature environment

–When someone with poor

circulation or impaired skin sensation uses the camera

• 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.

Note

• 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 times shown are recordable times using a Sony memory card.

Notes on continuous movie recording

• High-quality movie recording and high-speed continuous shooting

require large amounts of power. Therefore, if you continue to shoot, the temperature inside the camera will rise, especially that of the image sensor. In such cases, the camera will turn off automatically because the surface of the camera is heated to a high temperature or the high temperature affects the quality of the images or the internal mechanism of the camera.

• The duration of time available for movie recording varies with the

temperature, file format/record setting for movies, Wi-Fi network environment, 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.
