Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX99 Startup Manual page 9

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 are imperfections due to the
manufacturing process and do not
affect the recorded images in any way.
• When shooting with the viewfinder,
you may experience symptoms such as
eyestrain, fatigue, motion 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
• Depending on the camera and
battery temperature, the camera may
become 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
sufficiently, the power may turn off
again, or you may still be unable to
record 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
[Auto Pwr OFF Temp.] set to [High]
