Notes on the monitor, electronic viewfinder and lens
• 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, some tiny black and/or bright dots (white, red, blue or green) may
appear on the monitor and electronic viewfinder. These dots are a normal result of
the manufacturing process, and do not affect the recording.
• Do not hold the camera by the monitor.
• When the lens is operating, be careful not to let your finger be caught by the lens.
About the magnets
There are magnets attached to the back of the monitor and in the area around the
flash. Do not put objects that are affected by magnetic fields, such as a floppy disk
or a credit card to the monitor or the camera body.
Notes on shooting with the viewfinder
When shooting with the viewfinder, you may experience symptoms such as
eyestrain, fatigue, travel sickness, or nausea. 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 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 the flash
• Do not carry the camera by the flash unit, or use excessive force on it.
• If water, dust or sand get into the open flash unit, it may cause a malfunction.
• Be sure to keep your fingers out of the way when you press the flash down.
On camera's temperature
Camera body and battery may get warm with use – this is normal.
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 monitor before the power turns off or when you
can no longer record movies. In this case, leave the power off and wait until the
camera and battery temperature goes down. If you turn on the power without letting
the camera and battery cool down enough, the power may turn off again or you may
be unable to record movies.
