MENU  (Focus)  [AF/MF]  [ Focus Mode]  desired setting.

(Single-shot AF): The product locks the focus once focusing is

complete. Use this when the subject is motionless.

(Automatic AF): [Single-shot AF] and [Continuous AF] are switched according to the movement of the subject. When the shutter button is pressed halfway down, the product locks the focus when it determines that the subject is motionless, or continues to focus when the subject is in motion. During continuous shooting, the product automatically shoots with [Continuous AF] from the second shot.

(Continuous AF): The product continues to focus while the shutter button is pressed and held halfway down. Use this when the subject is in motion. In [Continuous AF] mode, there is no beep when the camera focuses.

(DMF): You can make fine adjustments manually after performing auto focusing, letting you focus on a subject more quickly than when using [Manual Focus] from the beginning. This is convenient in situations such as macro shooting.

(Manual Focus): Adjusts the focus manually. If you cannot focus on the intended subject using auto focus, use [Manual Focus].

• Subjects seen through glass

• Fast-moving subjects

• Reflective light or shiny surfaces

• Flashing light

• Back-lit subjects

• Continuously repetitive patterns, such as the facades of buildings

• Subjects in the focusing area with different focal distances

Hint

• In [Continuous AF] mode, you can lock the focus by pressing and holding the button that has been assigned the [Focus Hold] function.

• When you set the focus to infinity in the [Manual Focus] mode or the [DMF] mode, make sure that the focus is on a sufficiently distant subject by checking the monitor or the viewfinder.

Note

• [Automatic AF] is available only when you are using a lens that supports phase detection AF (page 32).

• When [Continuous AF] or [Automatic AF] is set, the angle of view may change little by little while focusing. This does not affect the actual recorded images.

• Only [Continuous AF] and [Manual Focus] are available when shooting movies or when the mode dial is set to

(S&Q Motion).

Phase detection AF

When there are phase detection AF points within the auto focus area, the product uses the combined autofocus of the phase detection AF and contrast AF.

Note

• Phase detection AF is available only when an applicable lens is attached. If you use a lens that does not support phase detection AF, you cannot use [Automatic AF], [AF Tracking Sensitivity], [AF Subj. Shift Sensitivity] or [AF Transition Speed]. Also, even if you use a previously purchased applicable lens, the phase detection AF might not function unless you update the lens.

Focusing on eyes

The camera can automatically detect faces and eyes and focus on the eyes (Eye AF). The faces of up to 8 subjects can be detected. There are two methods for performing [Eye AF], with some differences between their specifications. Select the appropriate method according to your purpose.

About this product/Notes on use

Notes on using your camera

Along with this section, also see “Precautions” in the Help Guide.

Notes on handling the product

• This camera is designed to be dust resistant and splash resistant, but it is not guaranteed to completely prevent the ingress of dust or water droplets.

• 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. If you have to leave the camera exposed to a light source such as sunlight, attach the lens cap to 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.

• Do not look at sunlight or a strong light source through the lens when it is detached. This may result in unrecoverable damage to the eyes.

• This camera (including accessories) has magnet(s) which may interfere with pacemakers, programmable shunt valves for hydrocephalus treatment, or other medical devices. Do not place this camera close to persons who use such medical devices. Consult your doctor before using this camera if you use any such medical device.

• Increase the volume gradually. Sudden loud noises can damage your ears. Be especially careful when listening to headphones.

• Do not leave the device parts within the reach of infants. It may cause an accident or injury.

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 dots are normal due to the manufacturing process and do not affect the images in any way.

Page 75

• 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.

• 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

• The camera body and battery may become 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

– When using the camera with the

[Auto Power OFF Temp.] set to [High].

Notes on using memory cards

• When recording is finished, the memory card may become hot. This is not a malfunction.

• If (overheating warning icon) is displayed on the monitor, do not remove the memory card from the camera right away. Instead, wait for a while after turning off the camera, and then remove the memory card. If you touch the memory card while it is hot, you may drop it and the memory card may be damaged. Be careful when removing the memory card.

Sony lenses/accessories

Using this unit with products from other manufacturers may affect its performance, leading to accidents or malfunction.

Notes on location information

If you upload and share an image tagged with a location, you may accidentally reveal the information to a third party. To prevent third parties from obtaining your location information, set [Location Info Link] to [Off] before shooting images.

Notes on discarding or transferring this product to others

When discarding or transferring this product to others, make sure to perform the following operation to protect private information.
