Notes on using your camera

Functions built into this camera

• This manual describes 1080 60i-

compatible devices and 1080 50i-

compatible devices.

To check whether your camera is a 1080

60i-compatible device or 1080 50i-

compatible device, check for the

following marks on the bottom of the

camera.

1080 60i-compatible device: 60i

1080 50i-compatible device: 50i

• This camera is compatible with 1080 60p

or 50p-format movies. 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 database files

When you insert a memory card without a

database file into the camera and turn on

the power, part of the memory card

capacity is used to automatically create a

database file. It may take some time until

you can perform the next operation.

If a database file error occurs, import all

images to a computer using “PlayMemories

Home” and format the memory card using

the camera.

Notes on recording/playback

• To ensure stable operations of the

memory card, we recommend that you

use this camera to format any memory

card being used with this camera for the

first time.

Note that formatting will erase all data

recorded on the memory card. This data

cannot be restored. Be sure to backup any

important data to a PC or other storage

location.

• 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 PC or other storage

location, then [Format] (page 32).

• Before you start recording, make a trial

recording to make sure that the camera is

working correctly.

• The camera is neither dust-proof, nor

splash-proof, nor water-proof.

• Avoid exposing the camera to water. If

water enters inside the camera, a

malfunction may occur. In some cases,

the camera cannot be repaired.

• Do not aim the camera at the sun or other

bright light. It may cause the malfunction

of the camera.

• Do not use the camera near a location

that generates strong radio waves or

emits radiation. Otherwise, the camera

may not properly record or play back

images.

• Using the camera in sandy or dusty

locations may cause malfunctions.

• If moisture condensation occurs, remove

it before using the camera.

• Do not shake or strike the camera. It may

cause a malfunction and you may not be

able to record images. Furthermore, the

recording media may become unusable

or image data may be damaged.

Screen language

You can select the language displayed

on the screen using the menu (page 34).

Notes on using your camera

GB

• Clean the flash surface before use. The

heat of flash emission may cause dirt on

the flash surface to start smoking or

burning. Wipe the flash surface with a

soft cloth to remove dirt or dust, etc.

Carl Zeiss lens

The camera is equipped with a Carl Zeiss

lens which is capable of reproducing sharp

images with excellent contrast. The lens for

the camera has been produced under a

quality assurance system certified by Carl

Zeiss in accordance with the quality

standards of Carl Zeiss in Germany.

Notes on the flash

• Do not carry the camera by the flash unit,

or use excessive strength on it.

• If water, dust or sand get into the open

flash unit, it may cause a malfunction.

No compensation for damaged

content or recording failure

Sony cannot compensate for failure to

record or loss or damage of recorded

content due to a malfunction of the camera

or recording media, etc.

Back up recommendation

To avoid the data loss, always copy (back

up) data to other media.

Notes on the LCD screen, lens, and

image sensor

• 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.

• Do not expose the camera to sunlight or

shoot sunward for a long time. The

internal mechanism may be damaged. If

sunlight is focused on a nearby object, it

may cause a fire.

• Images may trail across on the screen in a

cold location. This is not a malfunction.

When turning on the camera in a cold

location, the screen may become

temporarily dark. When the camera

warms up, the screen will function

normally.

• The recorded image may be different

from the image you monitored before

recording.

Notes on recording for long periods

of time

• When you continue to shoot for a long

time, the temperature of the camera rises.

If the temperature rises above a certain

level, the icon appears on the screen

and the camera turns itself off

automatically. If the power is turned off,

leave the camera for 10 minutes or longer

to allow the temperature inside the

camera to decrease to a safe level.

• Under high ambient temperatures, the

temperature of the camera rises quickly.

• When the temperature of the camera

rises, the image quality may deteriorate.

It is recommended that you wait until the

temperature of the camera drops before

continuing to shoot.

• Your camera and battery may get hot due

to continuous use, but it is not a

malfunction.

On image data compatibility

• This camera conforms with DCF (Design

rule for Camera File system) universal

standard established by JEITA (Japan

Electronics and Information Technology

Industries Association).

Notes

• If the charge lamp on the camera flashes when the AC Adaptor is connected to the

wall outlet (wall socket), this indicates that charging is temporarily stopped because

the temperature is outside the recommended range. When the temperature gets back

within the appropriate range, the charging resumes. We recommend charging the

battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10°C to 30°C (50ºF to 86ºF).

• The battery pack may not be effectively charged if the terminal section of the battery

is dirty. In this case, wipe any dust off lightly using a soft cloth or a cotton swab to

clean the terminal section of the battery.

• Connect the AC Adaptor (supplied) to the nearest wall outlet (wall socket). If

malfunctions occur while using the AC Adaptor, disconnect the plug from the wall

outlet (wall socket) immediately to disconnect from the power source.

• When charging is finished, disconnect the AC Adaptor from the wall outlet (wall

socket).

• Be sure to use only genuine Sony brand battery packs, micro USB cable (supplied)

and AC Adaptor (supplied).

The charging time is approximately 155 min. using the AC Adaptor

(supplied).

Notes

• The above charging time applies when charging a fully depleted battery pack at a

temperature of 25°C (77°F). Charging may take longer depending on conditions of

use and circumstances.

Notes

• Note the following points when charging via a computer:

– If the camera is connected to a laptop computer that is not connected to a power

source, the laptop battery level decreases. Do not charge for an extended period of

time.

– Do not turn on/off or restart the computer, or wake the computer to resume from

sleep mode when a USB connection has been established between the computer

and the camera. The camera may cause a malfunction. Before turning on/off, or

restarting the computer or waking the computer from sleep mode, disconnect the

camera and the computer.

– No guarantees are made for charging using a custom-built computer or a modified

computer.

A remaining charge indicator appears on the screen.

Notes

• It takes about one minute until the correct remaining charge indicator appears.

• The remaining charge indicator may not be correct under certain circumstances.

• If you do not operate the camera for a certain period of time while the power is on,

the camera turns off automatically (Auto power-off function).

• When “0” (the number of recordable images) flashes in yellow, the memory card is

full. Replace the memory card with another one, or delete images from the current

memory card (pages 31, 50).

• When “NO CARD” (the number of recordable images) flashes in yellow, it means

no memory card has been inserted. Insert a memory card.

The table below shows the approximate number of images that can be

recorded on a memory card formatted with this camera. The values are

defined using Sony standard memory cards for testing. The values may

vary depending on the shooting conditions and the type of memory card

Notes

• The recordable time of movies varies because the camera is equipped with VBR

(Variable Bit Rate), which automatically adjusts image quality depending on the

shooting scene. When you record a fast-moving subject, the image is clearer but the

recordable time is shorter because more memory is required for recording.

The recordable time also varies depending on the shooting conditions, the subject or

the image quality/size settings.

• The values shown are not for continuous recording time.

• The recording time may differ depending on shooting conditions and the memory

card used.

• When is indicated, stop recording the movie. The temperature inside the camera

has increased to an unacceptable level.

• For details on movie playback, see page 49.

• It requires a lot of power to perform high quality movie recording or continuous

shooting using the image sensor. Therefore, if you continue to shoot, the temperature

inside the camera will rise, especially that of the image sensor. In such cases, the

camera turns off automatically since higher temperatures affect the quality of the

images or affect the internal mechanism of the camera.

• 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 images after the power is turned on, the temperature inside the camera will rise

and the recording time available will be shorter.

• If the camera stops recording due to the temperature, leave it for several minutes

with the power turned off. Start recording after the temperature inside the camera

drops fully.

• If you observe the following points, the recording time will be 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,

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 29 minutes.
