Mount Adaptor

Using the Mount Adaptor LA-EA1 (sold separately), you can attach an A-mount lens
(sold separately) to your camera. For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied
with the Mount Adaptor.
Notes
• You may not be able to use the Mount Adaptor with certain lenses. Consult your Sony dealer or local
authorized Sony service facility on compatible lenses.
• The continuous shooting speed of still images will be slower.
Autofocus function with A-mount lenses
Upgrading Mount Adaptor LA-EA1 (sold separately) makes autofocus (Single-shot AF)
possible when an A-mount SAM or SSM lens is attached to the camera. You can also use
autofocus (Single-shot AF) in movie recording mode by pressing the shutter button
halfway down.
Notes
• You cannot use the AF illuminator when using an A-mount lens.
• The autofocus speed will be slower compared to when an E-mount lens is attached.
(When an A-mount lens is attached, the autofocus speed will be about 2 seconds to 7 seconds, when
shooting under Sony measurement condition. The speed may vary depending on the subject, ambient
light, etc.)
• The sound of the lens and the camera in operation may be recorded during movie recording. You can
avoid this by selecting [Menu] t [Setup] t [Movie Audio Rec] t [Off].
• It may take a long time or may be difficult for the camera to focus, depending on the lens used or the
subject.
