memory card may be damaged. Be sure to make a backup copy to protect your

data.

Refer to “Cyber-shot Handbook” (PDF)

on supplied CD-ROM

For details on advanced operations, please read “Cyber-

shot Handbook” (PDF) on the CD-ROM (supplied) using

a computer.

Refer to “Cyber-shot Handbook” for in-depth instructions

on shooting or viewing images and connecting the camera to your

computer, printer or TV (page 22).

Functions built into this camera

• This manual describes the functions of GPS-compatible/incompatible

devices, TransferJet-compatible/incompatible devices, 1080 60i-compatible

devices and 1080 50i-compatible devices.

– To determine whether your camera supports the GPS function, check the

model name of your camera.

GPS-compatible: DSC-HX5V

GPS-incompatible: DSC-HX5

– To check if your camera supports the TransferJet function, and whether it

is a 1080 60i-compatible device or 1080 50i-compatible device, check for

the following marks on the bottom of the camera.

TransferJet-compatible device: (TransferJet)

1080 60i-compatible device: 60i

1080 50i-compatible device: 50i

• In an airplane, make sure to turn off the camera following cabin

announcements.

On GPS-compatible devices (DSC-HX5V only)

• Use GPS in accordance with regulations of countries and regions where you

use it.

• The direction or location information will be recorded to your camera in the

default setting. If you do not record the direction or location information, set

[GPS setting] to [Off].

On database files

When you insert a memory card without a database file into the camera and

turn on the power, part of the memory card capacity is used to automatically

create a database file. It may take some time until you can perform the next

operation.

Notes on recording/playback

• When you use a memory card with this camera for the first time, it is

recommended to format the card using the camera for stable performance of

the memory card before shooting.

Note that formatting permanently erases all data on the memory card, and is

unrecoverable. Save precious data on a computer, etc.

• If you repeatedly record/delete images, fragmentation of data may occur on

the memory card. Movies may not be able to be saved or recorded. In such a

case, save your images to a PC or other storage location, then [Format].

• Before you start recording, make a trial recording to make sure that the

camera is working correctly.

• The camera is neither dust-proof, nor splash-proof, nor water-proof. Read

“Precautions” (page 26) before operating the camera.

• Avoid exposing the camera to water. If water enters inside the camera, a

malfunction may occur. In some cases, the camera cannot be repaired.

• Do not aim the camera at the sun or other bright light. It may cause the

malfunction of the camera.

• Do not use the camera near a location that generates strong radio waves or

emits radiation. Otherwise, the camera may not properly record or play back

images.

• Using the camera in sandy or dusty locations may cause malfunctions.

• If moisture condensation occurs, remove it before using the camera.

• Do not shake or strike the camera. It may cause a malfunction and you may

not be able to record images. Furthermore, the recording media may become

unusable or image data may be damaged.

• Clean the flash surface before use. The heat of flash emission may cause dirt

on the flash surface to become discolored or to stick to the flash surface,

resulting in insufficient light emission.

Notes on the LCD screen and lens

• The LCD 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 LCD screen. These dots are a normal result of the manufacturing process,

and do not affect the recording.

• When the battery level becomes low, the lens might stop moving. Insert a

charged battery pack and turn on the camera again.

On camera’s temperature

Your camera and battery may get warm due to continuous use, but it is not a

malfunction.

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 LCD screen before the power turns off or

you can no longer record movies.

On image data compatibility

• The camera conforms with DCF (Design rule for Camera File system)

universal standard established by JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information

Technology Industries Association).

• Sony does not guarantee that the camera will play back images recorded or

edited with other equipment, or that other equipment will play back images

recorded with the camera.

Notes when playing movies on other devices

• This camera uses MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 High Profile for AVCHD format

recording. Movies recorded in AVCHD format with this camera cannot be

played by the following devices.

– Other devices compatible with AVCHD format that does not support High

Profile

– Devices incompatible with the AVCHD format

• This camera also uses MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 Main Profile for MP4 format

recording. For this reason, movies recorded in MP4 format with this camera

cannot be played on devices other than those that support MPEG-4 AVC/

H.264.

• Discs recorded with HD image quality (high definition) can be played back

only on AVCHD format-compatible devices. DVD-based players or

recorders cannot play back HD image quality discs, as they are incompatible

with the AVCHD format. Also, DVD-based players or recorders may fail to

eject HD image quality discs.

Warning on copyright

Television programs, films, videotapes, and other materials may be

copyrighted. Unauthorized recording of such materials may be contrary to the

provisions of the copyright laws.

No compensation for damaged content or recording failure
