Before use Notes on using your camera Screen language You can select the language displayed on the screen using the menu. Shooting procedure This camera has 2 modes for monitoring subjects: the monitor mode using the monitor, and the viewfinder mode using the viewfinder. Functions built into this camera This manual describes 1080 60i-compatible devices and 1080 50i-compatible devices. Creating an image database file If you insert a memory card that does not contain an image database file into the camera and turn on the power, the camera automatically creates an image database file using some of the memory card's capacity. The process may take a long time and you cannot operate the camera until the process is completed. If a database file error occurs, export all images to your computer using PlayMemories Home™, and then format the memory card using the camera. 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 monitor, electronic viewfinder, lens, and image sensor • The monitor and electronic viewfinder are manufactured using extremely high- precision technology, and over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, there may be some small black dots and/or bright dots (white, red, blue or green in color) that constantly appear on the monitor and electronic viewfinder. These dots are normal due to the manufacturing process and do not affect the images in any way. GB • Do not hold the camera by the monitor. • 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. • Do not directly expose the lens to beams such as laser beams. That may damage the image sensor and cause the camera to malfunction. • 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. GB 7
