Notes on using the camera Table of contents Operation Search Settings Search Index Internal memory back up Be sure to make a backup copy to protect your data. Notes on recording/playback and connection • Before you start recording, make a trial recording to make sure that the camera is working correctly. • Do not aim the camera at the sun or other bright light. • 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. • If moisture condensation occurs, remove it before using the camera (page 67). • 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. • When connecting your camera to another device with a cable, be sure to insert the connector plug in the correct way. Pushing the plug forcibly into the terminal will damage the terminal and may result in a malfunction of your camera. • Playback of movies other than those shot, edited or composed on this camera is not guaranteed. On camera's temperature The camera may get warm due to continuous use, but it is not a malfunction. On the overheat protection Depending on the camera and battery temperature, you may be unable to record movies or the power may turn off automatically to protect the camera. A message will be displayed on the LCD screen before the power turns off or you can no longer record movies. Notes on the battery pack • The battery pack is built into the camera. Charge the camera before using for the first time. • You can charge the battery pack even if it is not completely discharged. In addition, even if the battery pack is not fully charged, you can use the partially charged capacity of the battery pack as is. • For details on the usable battery pack, see page 66. Notes 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, some tiny black and/or bright dots (white, red, blue or green) may appear on the LCD screen. These dots are a normal result of the manufacturing process and do not affect the recording. Black, white, red, blue or green dots • Exposing the LCD 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 LCD screen. The screen may be discolored and that may cause a malfunction. • Images may trail across on the LCD screen in a cold location. This is not a malfunction. On image data compatibility • This camera supports "MP4 format" as movie file format. Therefore, movies recorded by this camera cannot be played on devices that do not support "MP4 format". • This camera does not support "AVCHD format" and therefore is not compatible with the playback and recording of movies in "AVCHD format" like a Digital HD Video camera recorder. • Still images recorded by this camera are compressed/recorded in JPEG format. The file extension is ".JPG". • The camera conforms with DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) universal standard 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.
