• When the charge lamp flashes and charging is not finished, remove and
re-insert the battery pack.
• For some countries/regions, connect the power cord (mains lead) to the
AC Adaptor, and connect the AC Adaptor to the wall outlet (wall
socket).
Notes
• If the 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
GB
(50ºF to 86ºF).

• The battery pack may not be effectively charged if the terminal section of the
battery is dirty. In this case, wipe any dust off lightly using a soft cloth or a cotton
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).
x
Charging time (Full charge)
The charging time is approximately 150 minutes using the AC Adaptor
(supplied). The charge lamp lights up and then immediately turns off when the
battery pack is fully charged.
Notes
• The above charging time applies when charging a fully depleted battery pack at a
temperature of 25°C (77°F). Charging may take longer depending on conditions of
use and circumstances.
x
Charging by connecting to a computer
The battery pack can be charged by
connecting the camera to a computer using a
micro USB cable.
Notes
• If the camera is connected to a laptop computer
that is not connected to a power source, the
laptop battery level decreases. Do not charge
for an extended period of time.
• Do not turn on/off or restart the computer, or wake the computer to resume from
sleep mode when a USB connection has been established between the computer
and the camera. That may cause the camera to malfunction. Before turning on/off,
or restarting the computer or waking the computer from sleep mode, disconnect
the camera and the computer.

Removing the lens
Lens release button
Press the lens release button all the way in and turn the
1
lens counterclockwise until it stops.
Notes
• If dust or debris gets inside the camera while you are changing the lens and
adheres to the surface of the image sensor (the part that converts the light source to
a digital signal), it may appear as dark spots on the image, depending on the
shooting environment. The camera vibrates slightly when it is turned off, due to
the anti-dust function, to prevent dust from adhering to the image sensor.
However, attach or remove the lens quickly somewhere away from dusty
locations.
• If any foreign material has adhered to the image sensor, try [Cleaning Mode] first
and dust it off with a blower if necessary. For details, refer to the “Help Guide.”
• Do not leave the camera with the lens removed.
• When you want to use body caps or rear lens caps, please purchase ALC-B1EM
(Body cap) or ALC-R1EM (Rear lens cap) (sold separately).

• Continuous shooting is possible for approximately 29 minutes (a product
specification limit). However, the duration of time available for continuous movie
recording varies under the following conditions.
– High Frame Rate shooting: Approximately 7 minutes at [30p 16M]/[25p 16M];
approximately 5 minutes 30 seconds at [24p 12M]
– When the file format is set to MP4 (28M): Approximately 20 minutes (limited
by file size of 4 GB)
• 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 continuous movie recording
• It requires a lot of power to perform high quality movie recording or continuous
shooting using the image sensor. Therefore, if you continue to shoot, the
temperature inside the camera will rise, especially that of the image sensor. In such
cases, the camera turns off automatically since higher temperatures affect the
quality of the images or affect the internal mechanism of the camera.
• The duration of time available for movie recording is as follows when the camera
starts recording with the camera’s default settings after the power of the camera
has been turned off for a while. (The following values indicate the continuous time
from when the camera starts recording until the camera stops recording.)
HD: XAVC S HD 60p 50M/50p 50M
4K: XAVC S 4K 24p 60M
• The duration of time available for movie recording varies with the temperature,
the recording format/setting, 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.
• When is indicated, stop recording the movie.
• If the camera stops recording due to the temperature, leave it for several minutes
GB
with the power turned off. Start recording after the temperature inside the camera
drops fully.
