What is 1080 60p/50p?
Unlike standard recording modes up to now, which record in an interlacing method, this camera
records using a progressive method. This increases the resolution, and provides a smoother, more
realistic image.

On image data compatibility

The camera conforms with DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) universal standards
established by JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association).
Sony does not guarantee that the camera will play back images recorded or edited with other
equipment, or that other equipment will play back images recorded with the camera.

Notes when playing movies on other devices

This camera uses MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 High Profile for AVCHD format recording. Movies recorded in
AVCHD format with this camera cannot be played by the following devices.
Other devices compatible with an AVCHD format that does not support High Profile
Devices incompatible with the AVCHD format
This camera also uses MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 Main Profile for MP4 format recording. For this reason,
movies recorded in MP4 format with this camera cannot be played on devices other than those that
support MPEG-4 AVC/H.264.
You can play a high-definition image quality (HD) disc only on AVCHD format playback devices. A
DVD player or DVD recorder cannot play back a disc recorded in high-definition image quality (HD)
because they are not compatible with the AVCHD format. In addition, if you insert a high-definition
image quality (HD) disc recorded in AVCHD format into a DVD player or DVD recorder, you may not
be able to eject the disc.
Movies recorded in 1080 60p/1080 50p format can be played back only on 1080 60p/1080 50p-
supported devices.

Notes on the screen and lens

The screen is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology so over 99.99% of the pixels
are operational for effective use. However, some tiny black and/or bright dots (white, red, blue or
green) may appear on the screen. These dots are a normal result of the manufacturing process and
do not affect the recording.
Exposing the screen or the lens to direct sunlight for long periods may cause malfunctions. Be
careful when placing the camera near a window or outdoors.
Do not press against the screen. The screen may be discolored and that may cause a malfunction.
Images may trail across on the screen in a cold location. This is not a malfunction.
Be careful not to bump the lens, and be careful not to apply force to it.
