temperature inside the camera to decrease to a safe level.

•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 images.

On the overheat protection

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 of the remote control 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.

About dust-proof and waterproof performance

•The camera is dust-proof and waterproof (Depth of water 5 m (16

feet), 30 minutes continuously). For the notes on use of the waterproof case, refer to the instruction manual on the website.

Note on optional accessories

Genuine Sony accessories may not be available in some countries/ regions.

[Live-View Remote]

Operating temperature

The remote control is designed for use in temperatures between -10 °C and +40 °C (14 °F and 104 °F). Using in extremely cold or hot places outside this range is not recommended.

About the water-proof performance of the remote control

The remote control is designed to be water-proof. Damage caused by misuse, abuse, or improper maintenance is not covered by the limited warranty.

•Do not subject the remote control to pressurized water, such as from a tap.

•Do not use in hot springs.

•Use the remote control in the water temperature range of 0 °C to 40

°C (32 °F to 104 °F).

Notes before using the remote control under/near water

•Make sure that no foreign matter such as sand, hair, or dirt gets inside the Multi terminal cover. Even a small amount of foreign matter may lead to water entering the remote control.

•Confirm that the sealing gasket and its mating surfaces have not become scratched. Even a small scratch may lead to water entering the remote control. If the sealing gasket or its mating surfaces become scratched, consult your Sony dealer or local authorized Sony service facility.

•If dirt or sand gets on the sealing gasket or its mating surfaces, wipe the area clean with a soft cloth that does not leave behind any fibers.

•Do not open/close the terminal cover with wet or sandy hands or near water. There is a risk of sand or water getting inside. Before opening the terminal cover, perform the procedure described in “Cleaning after using the remote control under/near water".

•Open the terminal card cover when the remote control is completely dr y.

•Always check that the terminal cover is securely locked.

Notes on using the remote control under/near water

•Do not subject the remote control to shock such as by jumping into water.

•Do not open and close the terminal cover while under/near water.

•The remote control sinks in water. Use the belt supplied with the

remote control to prevent it from sinking.

On GPS

•The GPS antenna is built in not the camera but the front of the remote control.

•As the positions of GPS satellites vary constantly, it may take longer to determine the location or the receiver may not be able to determine the location at all, depending on the location and time you use the camera.

•GPS is a system that determines your position by receiving signals from satellites. Avoid using the GPS feature on your remote control in places where radio signals are blocked or reflected, such as a shadowy place surrounded by buildings or trees, etc. Use the remote control in open sky environments.

•You may not be able to record location information at locations or in situations where radio signals from the GPS satellites do not reach the remote control as follows.

– In tunnels, indoors or under the shade of buildings. – Between tall buildings or at narrow streets surrounded by buildings. – In underground locations, locations surrounded by dense trees, under an

elevated bridge, or in locations where magnetic fields are generated, such as near high voltage cables.

– Near devices that generate radio signals of the same frequency band as the

remote control: near 1.5 GHz band mobile telephones, etc.

•A GPS antenna is built in the front of the remote control. Placing the remote control upside down may cause positioning to take long time or may not be able to determine your position.

•If you take images with the GPS of the remote control set to [ON], and upload those images to the Internet, the shooting location may be available to third parties. To prevent this, set the GPS of the remote control to [OFF] before shooting.

On triangulation errors

•If you move to another location right after turning the remote control on, it may take a longer time for the camera to start triangulating, compared to when you stay in the same place.

•GPS satellite error When the remote control receives signals from more than three GPS satellites, it determines your present position. The triangulating error allowed by the GPS satellites is about 10 m (33 feet). Depending on the environment of the location, the triangulating error can be greater. In this case, your actual location may not match the location on the map based on the GPS information. Meanwhile, the GPS satellites are controlled by the United States Department of Defense, and the degree of accuracy may be changed intentionally.

•Error during the triangulating process The remote control acquires location information periodically during triangulating. There is a slight time lag between when the location information is acquired and when the location information is recorded on an image, therefore, the actual recording location may not match the exact location on the map based on the GPS information.

On GPS use restriction

•Use GPS in accordance with the situation and regulations of the countries/regions where you use the remote control.

Disposal

Remove the battery pack before disposing of the remote control.
