Notes
• If the Power/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).
• The battery pack may not be effectively charged if the terminal section of the

swab to clean the terminal section of the battery.
• 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 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).
• Power is not supplied during shooting/playback if the camera is connected to a
wall outlet with the supplied AC adaptor. To supply power to the camera during
shooting/playback, use the AC-UD10 (sold separately) or AC-UD11 (sold

• 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.
Notes on using the camera
Functions built into this camera
• This manual describes 1080 60i-compatible devices and 1080 50i-compatible
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.
On use and care
Avoid rough handling, disassembling, modifying, physical shock, or impact such as
hammering, dropping, or stepping on the product. Be particularly careful of the lens.

The screen is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology so over
99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, some tiny black
and/or bright dots (white, red, blue or green) may appear on the screen. These dots
are a normal result of the manufacturing process, and do not affect the recording.
Notes on the flash
• Do not carry the camera by the flash unit, or use excessive strength on it.
• If water, dust or sand get into the open flash unit, it may cause a malfunction.
On camera’s temperature
Your camera and battery may get hot due to continuous use, but it is not a
malfunction.

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

and battery cool enough, the power may turn off again or you may be unable to
record movies.
