Notes on the screen and lens
• The screen is 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 screen. These dots
are a normal result of the manufacturing process, and do not affect the recording.
• There are magnets attached to the back of the screen 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 screen or the camera body.
• When the lens is operating, be careful not to let your finger be caught by the lens.
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
Your camera and battery may get hot 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 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 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.
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.
