This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines. This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that is deemed to comply without testing of specific absorption rate(SAR). The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.

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 80).

Notes on recording/playback

•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.

•Before you start recording, make a trial recording to make sure that the camera is working correctly.

Notes on handling the product

•This camera is designed to be dust and moisture-resistant, but is not waterproof or splash-proof.

•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.

No compensation for damaged content or recording failure

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.

Notes on the monitor, electronic viewfinder, lens, and image sensor

•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.

•Do not hold the camera by the monitor.

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

•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 enter the 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.

Page 9

•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 or cause a malfunction.

•Do not use the camera in areas where strong radio waves or radiation are being emitted. Recording and playback may not function correctly.

•Images may trail across on the screen in a cold location. This is not a malfunction.

•The recorded image may be different from the image you monitored before recording.

Notes on using lenses and accessories

It is recommended that you use Sony lenses/accessories designed to suit the characteristics of this camera. Using this camera with products from other manufacturers may affect its performance, leading to accidents or malfunction. Sony bears no responsibility for such accidents or malfunction.

Notes on the Multi Interface Shoe

•When attaching or detaching accessories such as an external flash to the Multi Interface Shoe, first turn the power to OFF. When attaching the accessory, confirm that it is firmly fastened to the camera.

•Do not use the Multi Interface Shoe with a commercially available flash that applies voltages of 250 V or more or has the opposite polarity of the camera. It may cause a malfunction.

Notes on shooting with an external flash

When shooting with an external flash, light and dark stripes may appear on the image if the shutter speed is set to faster than 1/4000seconds.

Notes on shooting with the viewfinder

•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.

Page 10

•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 as necessary.

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.

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

•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.

•The surface of the camera may get warm. This is not a malfunction.

•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.

Page 11

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 Pwr OFF Temp.] set to [High].

•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.

• Continuous shooting is possible for approximately 29 minutes (a

product specification limit). The continuous recordable time may differ in the following situations:

– When the file format is set to MP4 (28M): Approximately 20 minutes

(limited by file size of 4 GB).

– When shooting slow-motion/quick-motion movies: Recording will

automatically stop when the recorded file reaches approximately 29minutes (the played back movie reaches approximately 29 minutes). (Recording will automatically stop when the recorded file reaches approximately 15 minutes if [

Frame Rate] is set to [30fps/25fps].)

and [

Record Setting] is set to [60p/50p]

• The times for slow-motion/quick-motion movies are playback times,

not recording times.

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.

Page 94

• The duration of time available for continuous movie recording when the camera records with the default settings after the power has been turned off for a while is as follows. The values indicate the continuous time from when the camera starts recording until the camera stops recording.

• 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.

• When

is indicated, the temperature of the camera is too high.

• If the camera stops movie recording due to a high temperature, leave it for some time with the power turned off. Start recording after the temperature inside the camera drops fully.

• If you observe the following points, you will be able to record movies for longer periods of time.

– Keep the camera out of direct sunlight. – Turn the camera off when it is not being used.

• When [

File Format] is set to [AVCHD], the file size of movies is limited to approx. 2GB. If the movie file size reaches approx. 2GB during recording, a new movie file will be created automatically.

• When [

File Format] is set to [MP4], the file size of movies is limited to approx. 4GB. If the movie file size reaches approx. 4GB during recording, recording will stop automatically.
