Handling
Be careful not to spill water or other liquids on the unit, or allow
combustible or metallic objects to fall inside the body. If used with
foreign matter inside, the camera is liable to fail, or be a cause of fire or
electric shock.
Operation and storage locations
Avoid aiming the camera at very bright objects such as the sun or
electric lights for an extended period. Avoid operating or storing the unit
in the following locations.
• Extremely hot or cold places (operating temperature –10 °C to + 50 °C
(14 °F to 122 °F))
• Damp or dusty places
• Where it is exposed to rain
• Where it is subject to strong vibration
• Close to generators of powerful electromagnetic radiation such as
radio or TV transmitters.
• Where it is subject to fluorescent light reflections
• Where it is subject to unstable (flickering, etc.) lighting conditions.
Care of the unit
• Remove dust or dirt on the surface of the lens or CCD with a blower.
• Use a dry, soft cloth to clean the body. If it is very dirty, use a cloth
dampened with a small quantity of neutral detergent, then wipe dry.
• Avoid using volatile solvents such as thinners, alcohol, benzene, and
insecticides. They may damage the surface finish and/or impair the
operation of the camera.
Other
• When BLC is in the "ON" position, "hunting" may occur, that is, the
image may get darker and lighter as the camera "hunts" for the best
exposure level. If hunting occurs, set the BLC switch to "OFF."
• If you use the CCD-IRIS function in locations where the camera is
exposed to fluorescent light, a slow color change may occur.
In the event of any problems with the operation of the camera, contact
your Sony dealer.
