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 Pwr OFF Temp.] set to [High]
On moisture condensation
If the product is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may condense inside or outside the
product. This moisture condensation may cause a malfunction of the product.
To prevent moisture condensation when you bring the product directly from a cold to a warm location, first put it in a
plastic bag and seal it to prevent air from entering. Wait for about an hour until the temperature of the product has
reached the ambient temperature.
If moisture condensation occurs, turn off the product and wait about an hour for the moisture to evaporate. Note that
if you attempt to shoot with moisture remaining inside the lens, you will be unable to record clear images.
On the functions available with the product
This camera is compatible with 1080 60p or 1080 50p-format movies. Unlike traditional standard recording modes,
which record using an interlacing method, this product records movies using a progressive method. This increases
the resolution, and provides a smoother, more realistic image.
Notes for when on board an airplane
In an airplane, set [Airplane Mode] to [On].
On image data compatibility
This product conforms with DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) universal standard established by JEITA (Japan
Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association).
Playback of images recorded with your product on other equipment and playback of images recorded or edited with
other equipment on your product are not guaranteed.
Notes on playing movies on other devices
Movies recorded by your camera may not be playable properly on other devices. Also, movies recorded by devices
other than your camera may not be able to playback on your camera.
Discs of AVCHD movies recorded by your camera can only be played back on devices supporting AVCHD format.
DVD players and DVD recorders do not support AVCHD format, so they cannot playback AVCHD movie discs. Also,
if a high definition image quality (HD) disc recorded with AVCHD format is inserted in either of DVD players or DVD
recorders, the disc may be unable to eject from the device.
Movies recorded in 1080 60p/1080 50p format can be played back only on 1080 60p/1080 50p supported devices.
XAVC S movies can be played back only on XAVC S-supported devices.
On the monitor and lens
The monitor is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology so over 99.99 % of the pixels are operational
for effective use. However, there may be some tiny black points and/or bright points (white, red, blue or green in
color) that constantly appear on the monitor. These points are normal in the manufacturing process and do not affect
the images in any way.
Exposing the monitor or lens to direct sunlight for long periods may cause a malfunction. Exercise caution when
placing the product near a window or outdoors.
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 press against the monitor. The monitor may be discolored and that may cause a malfunction.
Images may trail across on the monitor in a cold location. This is not a malfunction.
Do not expose the camera to sunlight or shoot sunward for a long time. The internal mechanism may be damaged.
