Notes on handling the product

• This camera is designed to be dust- and moisture-resistant but is not waterproof or dust-proof.
• If water, dust, or sand gets into the open flash unit, it may cause a malfunction.
• Remove any dirt from the surface of the flash. Dirt on the surface of the flash may emit smoke or burn due to heat generated by the emission of light. If there is dirt/dust, clean it off with a soft cloth.
• Do not cover the flash with your
• When using the power zoom lens, be careful not to get your fingers or any other objects caught in the lens.
• Take care that your finger is not in the way when pushing the flash down.
• Always attach the lens front cap when you are not using the camera.
• 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 leave the camera, the supplied accessories, or memory cards within the reach of infants. They may be accidentally swallowed. If this occurs, consult a doctor immediately.

Notes on the monitor and electronic viewfinder

• 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) that constantly appear on the monitor and electronic viewfinder. These are imperfections due to the manufacturing process and do not affect the recorded images in any way.
• 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.
• If you pan the camera while looking into the viewfinder or move your eyes around, the image in the viewfinder may be distorted or the color of the image may change. This is a characteristic of the lens or display device and is not a malfunction. When you shoot an image, we recommend that you look at the center area of 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. In case you feel uncomfortable, refrain from using the viewfinder until your condition recovers, and consult your doctor as necessary.

Notes on continuous shooting

During continuous shooting, the monitor or viewfinder may flash between the shooting screen and a black screen. If you keep watching the screen in this situation, you may experience uncomfortable symptoms such as feelings of unwellness. If you experience uncomfortable symptoms, stop using the camera, and consult your doctor as necessary.

Notes on recording for long periods or recording 4K movies

• 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 screen before the power turns off or you can no longer record movies. In this case, leave the power off and wait until the camera and battery temperature go down. If you turn on the power without letting the camera and battery cool enough, the power may turn off again or you may be unable to record movies.
• When the temperature of the camera rises, the image quality may deteriorate. It is recommended that you wait until the temperature of the camera drops before continuing to shoot.
• Under high ambient temperatures, the temperature of the camera rises quickly.
• The camera body and battery may get warm with use – this is normal.

Notes on recording/playback

• Before you start recording, make a trial recording to make sure that the camera is working correctly.
• The recorded image may be different from the image you monitored before recording.
• Do not use the camera in areas where strong radio waves or radiation are being emitted. Recording and playback may not function correctly.
• Playback of images recorded with your product on other equipment and playback of images recorded or edited with other equipment on your product is not guaranteed.
• Sony can provide no guarantees in the event of failure to record or loss or damage of recorded images or audio data due to a malfunction of the camera or recording media, etc. We recommend backing up important data.
• Once you format the memory card, all the data recorded on the memory card will be deleted and cannot be restored. Before formatting, copy the data to a computer or other device.

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.

Memory Stick media

 

• Including when recording proxy movies at the same time
  Note
• When an SDHC memory card is used to record an XAVC S movie over extended periods, the recorded movies will be divided into files 4 GB in size. The divided files can be handled as a single file by importing them to a computer using PlayMemories Home.
• Fully charge the battery pack before attempting to recover the database files on the memory card.

Number of recordable images

When you insert a memory card into the camera and set the ON/OFF (Power) switch to “ON,” the number of images that can be recorded (should you continue to shoot using the current settings) is displayed on the screen.

Note

• When “0” (the number of recordable images) flashes in orange, the memory card is full. Replace the memory card with another one, or delete images from the current memory card.
• When “NO CARD” flashes in orange, it means no memory card has been Inserting a memory card.

The number of images that can be recorded on a memory card

The table below shows the approximate number of images that can be recorded on a memory card formatted with this camera. The values are defined using Sony standard memory cards for testing. The values may vary depending on the shooting conditions and the type of memory card used.

• • [ Image Size]: [L: 20M]
  • [ Aspect Ratio]: [3:2]*

• When [ Aspect Ratio] is set to other than [3:2], you can record more images than the numbers shown in the table above (except when [RAW] is selected).

Note

• Even if the number of recordable images is higher than 9999 images, “9999” will appear.
• When an image shot with another product is played back on this camera, the image may not appear in its actual size.
• The numbers shown are when using a Sony memory card.

Recordable movie times

The table below shows the approximate total recording times using a memory card formatted with this camera. The values may vary depending on the shooting conditions and the type of memory card used. The recording times for when [ File Format] is set to [XAVC S 4K] and [XAVC S HD] are recording times when shooting with [ Proxy Recording] set to [Off].

(h (hour), m (minute))

 

• Only when [NTSC/PAL Selector] is set to NTSC
• Continuous movie shooting is possible for a maximum of approximately 29 minutes at a time with the camera’s default settings and an ambient temperature of approximately 25°C (77°F) (product specification limit).

Note

• The recordable time of movies varies because the camera is equipped with VBR (Variable Bit-Rate), which automatically adjusts image quality depending on the shooting scene. When you record a fast-moving subject, the image is clearer but the recordable time is shorter because more memory is required for recording. The recordable time also varies depending on the shooting conditions, the subject, or the image quality/size settings.
• The times shown are recordable times using a Sony memory card.

 Notes on continuous movie recording

• High-quality movie recording and high-speed continuous shooting require large amounts of power. Therefore, if you continue to shoot, the temperature inside the camera will rise, especially that of the image sensor. In such cases, the camera will turn off automatically because the surface of the camera is heated to a high temperature or the high temperature affects the quality of the images or the internal mechanism of the camera.
• The duration of time available for movie recording varies with the temperature, file format/record-setting for movies, Wi-Fi network environment, or condition of the camera before you start recording. If you frequently recompose or shoot images after the power is turned on, the temperature inside the camera will rise and the recording time available will be shorter.
• If the icon appears, the temperature of the camera has risen.
• If the camera stops movie recording due to a high temperature, leave it for some time with the power turned off. Start recording after the temperature inside the camera drops fully.
• If you observe the following points, you will be able to record movies for longer periods.
• Keep the camera out of direct sunlight.
• Turn the camera off when it is not being used.
• When [ File Format] is set to [AVCHD], the file size of movies is limited to approx. 2 GB. If the movie file size reaches approx. 2 GB during recording, a new movie file will be created automatically.
