Notes On Using the 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.

• 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 use and care
Avoid rough handling, disassembling,
modifying, physical shock, or impact such as hammering, dropping, or stepping
on the product. Be particularly careful of the lens.
Notes on recording/playback
• Before you start recording, make a trial
recording to make sure that the camera is working correctly.
• This camera is neither dust-proof, nor
splash-proof, nor water-proof.
• Do not look at the sun or a strong light
through a removed lens. This may cause irrecoverable damage to your eyes.
Or it may cause a malfunction of the
lens.
• 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 ma y be damaged.

this malfunction cannot be repaired.
On using the lenses and accessories
It is recommended that you use Sony
lenses/accessories designed to suit the characteristics of this camera.
Using the products of other manufacturers
may cause the camera not to operate to its capability, or result in accidents
and malfunctions of the camera.
Notes on shooting with the viewfinder
When shooting with the viewfinder, you may
experience symptoms such as eyestrain, fatigue, travel sickness, or naus ea. We
recommend that you take a break at regular intervals when you are shooting with
the viewfinder.
The required length or frequency of the
break may differ depending on the individuals, so you are advised to
decide at your own discretion. In case
you may feel uncomfortable, refrain from using the viewfinder until your
condition recovers, and consult your doctor as necessary.
On charging the battery
If you charge a battery that has not been
used for a long time, you may be unable to charge it to the proper capacity.
This is due to the battery
characteristics. Charge the battery again.
Cleaning the camera surface
Clean the camera surface with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with water, then wipe the surface with a dry cloth. To
prevent damage to the finish or casing:
– Do not expose the camera to chemical
products such as thinner, benzine, alcohol, disposable cloths, insect
repellent, sunscreen or insecticide.
Maintaining the screen
• Hand cream or moisturizer left on the
screen may dissolve its coating. If you get any on the screen, wipe it off
immediately.
• Wiping forcefully with tissue paper or
other materials can damage the coating.
• If fingerprints or debris are stuck to
the screen, we recommend that you gently remove any debris and then wipe the
screen clean with a soft cloth.
