Notes on the LCD screen

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.

If water droplets or other liquids splash on the LCD screen and make it wet,

immediately wipe off the screen with a soft cloth. Leaving liquids on the

LCD screen surface can harm the quality and cause a malfunction.

Do not press against the LCD screen. The screen may be discolored and that

may cause a malfunction.

Please use Sony genuine accessories

If you use accessories manufactured by companies other than Sony, this could

cause a camera trouble.

Using other manufacturers’ camera cases with magnets could cause a power

supply trouble.

On camera’s temperature

Your camera and battery 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.

On image data compatibility

The camera conforms with DCF (Design rule for Camera File system)

universal standard established by JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information
