Maintenance
The camera mechanism may cause abnormal noise due
to wear and lubrication loss after a long period of use. To

periodic maintenance. If abnormal noise occurs, consult
your Sony dealer.

image is not displayed correctly (the image is distorted,
etc.), turn the camera off, then on again.
Note on laser beams
Laser beams may damage a CMOS image sensor. You are
cautioned that the surface of a CMOS image sensor should
not be exposed to laser beam radiation in an environment
where a laser beam device is used.
