Sony ILCE-6500KIT Instruction Manual - Page 9

••Do not leave the lens or the viewfinder exposed to a strong light source such as sunlight. Because of the lens's condensing function, doing so may cause smoke, fire, or a malfunction inside the camera body or the lens. If you have to leave the camera exposed to a light source such as sunlight, attach the lens cap to the lens. ••When you shoot with backlighting, keep the sun sufficiently far away from the angle of view. Otherwise, the sunlight may enter the focus inside the camera and cause smoke or fire. Even if the sun is slightly away from the angle of view, it may still cause smoke or fire. ••Do not directly expose the lens to beams such as laser beams. That may damage the image sensor and cause the camera to malfunction. ••Do not look at sunlight or a strong light source through the lens when it is detached. This may result in unrecoverable damage to the eyes or cause a malfunction. ••Do not use the camera in areas where strong radio waves or radiation are being emitted. Recording and playback may not function correctly. ••Images may trail across on the screen in a cold location. This is not a malfunction. ••The recorded image may be different from the image you monitored before recording. Notes on using lenses and accessories It is recommended that you use Sony lenses/accessories designed to suit the characteristics of this camera. Using this camera with products from other manufacturers may affect its performance, leading to accidents or malfunction. Sony bears no responsibility for such accidents or malfunction. Notes on the Multi Interface Shoe ••When attaching or detaching accessories such as an external flash to the Multi Interface Shoe, first turn the power to OFF. When attaching the accessory, confirm that it is firmly fastened to the camera. ••Do not use the Multi Interface Shoe with a commercially available flash that applies voltages of 250 V or more or has the opposite polarity of the camera. It may cause a malfunction. Notes on shooting with the viewfinder ••The image may be slightly distorted near the corners of the viewfinder. This is not a malfunction. When you want to see the full composition with all its details, you can also use the monitor. GB 9
