Notes
• The recording time of movies varies because the camera uses VBR (Variable Bit
Rate), an encoding method that automatically adjusts image quality according to
the shooting situation.
When you record a fast-moving subject, the image is clearer but the recording time
is shorter because much memory is used.
The recording time also vary depending on the shooting condition or your subject
or the setting of image quality/size.
• The duration of time available for movie recording varies with the temperature or
condition of the camera before you start recording. If you frequently recompose or
shoot still images after the power is turned on, the temperature inside the camera
rises and the recording time available will be shorter.
• If the camera stops movie recording due to the temperature, leave the camera for
several minutes with the power turned off. Restart recording after the temperature
inside the camera goes down.
• If you observe the following points, the recording time is longer.
– Keep the camera out of direct sunlight.
– Turn the camera off when it is not being used.

• The maximum size of a movie file is about 2 GB. When the file size is about 2 GB,
the movie recording stops automatically when [File Format] is set to [MP4], and a
new movie file is created automatically when [File Format] is set to [AVCHD].
• The maximum continuous recording time is approximately 29 minutes.
x Number of still images recordable with a single
charge of the battery pack
The approximate number of images that can be recorded is 330 images when
you use the camera with the battery pack (supplied) at full capacity.
Note that the actual numbers may be less depending on the conditions of use.
• The number of images is calculated using full charged battery pack under the
following conditions:
– At an ambient temperature of 25 °C (77 °F).
– An E PZ 16-50 mm F3.5-5.6 OSS lens is attached.
– [Quality] is set to [Fine].
– [Autofocus Mode] is set to [Single-shot AF].
– Shooting once every 30 seconds.
– The flash strobes once every two times.
– The power turns on and off once every ten times.
– Using the battery pack that is charged for an hour after the charge lamp goes out.
– Using Sony “Memory Stick PRO Duo” media (sold separately).
• The measurement method is based on the CIPA standard.

The power turns off suddenly.
• When the camera or battery pack is too warm, the camera displays a warning
message and turns off automatically to protect the camera.
• If you do not operate the camera for given period of time, the camera turns to
power saving mode. To cancel the power save, operate the camera by means
such as pressing the shutter button halfway down.
The charge lamp on the camera flashes when charging the battery
pack.
• You can only use an NP-FW50 battery pack. Make sure that the battery is
NP-FW50.
• If you charge a battery pack that has not been used for a long time, the charge
lamp may flash.
• The charge lamp flashes in two ways, fast (about 0.3-second intervals) or
slow (about 1.3-second intervals). If the charge lamp is flashing fast, remove
the battery pack and reattach the same battery pack securely, or disconnect
and reconnect the USB cable. If the charge lamp flashes fast again, it
suggests that there is something wrong with the battery pack, AC Adaptor
(supplied), or USB cable. Slow flashing indicates that charging is suspended
because the ambient temperature is outside the suitable range for charging
the battery pack. Charging will resume and the charge lamp will be lit when
the ambient temperature returns to within the suitable temperature. The
optimal temperature for charging the battery pack is between 10 °C and
30 °C (50 °F and 86 °F).
The battery has not been charged even if the charge lamp has
turned off.
• This phenomenon occurs when you use the camera in an extremely hot or
cold location. The optimal temperature for charging the battery pack is
between 10 °C and 30 °C (50 °F and 86 °F).
The battery pack is not charged.
• When the battery pack is not charged (the charge lamp does not light) even if
you follow the proper charging procedure, remove the battery pack and reinsert the same battery pack securely, or disconnect and reconnect the USB
cable.

The flash takes too long to recharge.
• The flash has been fired in succession in a short period. When the flash has
been fired in succession, the recharging process may take longer than usual
to avoid overheating of the flash.
The image taken with the flash is too dark.
• If the subject is beyond the flash range (the distance that the flash can reach),
the pictures will be dark because the flash light does not reach the subject. If
the ISO is changed, the flash range also changes with it (page 55).
The date and time are recorded incorrectly.
• Set the correct date and time (page 28).
• The area selected with [Area Setting] is different from the actual area. Set the
actual area by selecting MENU t [Setup] t [Area Setting].
The aperture value and/or shutter speed flashes.
• The subject is too bright or too dark, and the camera’s available range for the
aperture value and/or shutter speed is exceeded. Adjust the setting again.
The image is whitish (Flare).
Blurring of light appears on the image (Ghosting).
• The picture was taken under backlit conditions, and excessive light has
entered the lens. When using the zoom lens, attach a lens hood.
The corners of the picture are too dark.
• If any filter or hood is used, take it off and try shooting again. Depending on
the thickness of the filter and improper attachment of the hood, the filter or
the hood may partially appear on the image. The optical properties of some
lenses may cause the periphery of the image to appear too dark (insufficient
light). You may compensate for this phenomenon with [Lens Comp.:
Shading].
The eyes of the subject come out red.
• Activate the [Red Eye Reduction] function.
• Get close to the subject, and shoot the subject within the flash range
(page 55) using the flash.
Dots appear and remain on the LCD screen.
• This is not a malfunction. These dots are not recorded (page 94).

Precautions
On the functions available
with the camera
• Your camera is 1080 60icompatible or 1080 50icompatible.
To check whether the camera is
1080 60i-compatible or 1080
50i-compatible, check for the
following marks on the bottom of
the camera.
1080 60i-compatible camera: 60i
1080 50i-compatible camera: 50i
• Your camera is compatible with
1080 60p/50p movies. Unlike
existing standard recording modes,
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 the LCD screen and
lens
• The LCD screen 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
LCD screen. These points are
normal in the manufacturing
process and do not affect the
images in any way.
Black, white,
red, blue and
green points
• Do not hold the camera by the
LCD screen.
• A magnet is attached to the back of
the LCD screen. Do not put objects
that are affected by magnetic
fields, such as a floppy disk or a
credit card, between the LCD
screen and the camera body.
Magnet
• Images may trail across on the
LCD screen in a cold location.
This is not a malfunction. When
turning on the camera in a cold
location, the LCD screen may
become temporarily dark.
• Do not press against the LCD
screen. The monitor may be
discolored and that may cause a
malfunction.
• Do not expose the camera to direct
sunlight. If reflected sunlight is
focused on a nearby object, it may
cause a fire. When you must place
the camera under direct sunlight,
attach the front lens cap.

How to prevent moisture
condensation
Charging method of the internal
rechargeable battery
When bringing the camera from a
cold place to a warm place, seal the
camera in a plastic bag and allow it
to adapt to conditions at the new
location over about an hour.
Insert a charged battery pack into the
camera, or connect the camera to a
wall outlet (wall socket) using the
AC Adaptor (supplied), and leave
the camera for 24 hours or more with
the power off.
If moisture condensation occurs
Turn off the camera 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 internal
rechargeable battery
GB
96
This camera has an internal
rechargeable battery for maintaining
the date and time and other settings
regardless of whether the power is
on or off, or the battery is installed
or not. This rechargeable battery is
continually charged as long as you
are using the camera. However, if
you use the camera for only short
periods, it gradually discharges. If
you do not use the camera at all for
about three months it becomes
completely discharged. In this case,
be sure to charge this rechargeable
battery before using the camera.
However, even if this rechargeable
battery is not charged, you can still
use the camera as long as you do not
record the date and time. If the
camera resets to the default settings
each time you charge the battery, the
internal rechargeable battery may be
dead. Consult your Sony dealer or
local authorized Sony service
facility.
On memory cards
Do not attach a label, etc. on a
memory card or a card adaptor. This
may cause a malfunction.
On recording/playback
• When you use a memory card with
this camera for the first time, it is
recommended to format the card
using the camera for stable
performance of the memory card
before shooting. Note that
formatting permanently erases all
data on the memory card, and is
unrecoverable. Save precious data
on a computer, etc.
• If you repeatedly record/delete
images, fragmentation of data may
occur on the memory card. Movies
may not be able to be saved or
recorded. In such a case, save your
images to a computer or other
storage location, and then format
the memory card.
• The recorded contents cannot be
compensated for even if recording
or playback is not possible due to a
malfunction of the camera or
memory card, etc.
• To avoid the potential risk of data
loss, always copy (back up) data to
other media.

On focal length
The picture angle of this camera is
narrower than that of a 35 mm-format
camera. You can find the approximate
equivalent of the focal length of a
35 mm-format camera, and shoot with
the same picture angle, by increasing
the focal length of your lens by half.
For example, by using a 50 mm lens,
you can get the approximate equivalent
of a 75 mm lens of a 35 mm-format
camera.
