Notes on recording/playback
• Before you start recording, make a trial
recording to make sure that the camera is
working correctly.
• The camera is neither dust-proof, nor splash-
proof, nor water-proof. Read "Precautions"
(page 57) before operating the camera.
• Avoid exposing the camera to water. If water
enters inside the camera, a malfunction may
occur. In some cases, the camera cannot be
repaired.
• Do not aim the camera at the sun or other
bright light. It may cause the malfunction
of
the camera.
• Do not use the camera near a location that
generates strong radio waves
or
emits
radiation. Otherwise, the camera may not
properly record or play back images.
• Using the camera in sandy
or
dusty locations
may cause malfunctions.
• If moisture condensation occurs, remove it
before using the camera (page 57).
• 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
may be damaged.
• Clean the flash surface before use.
The
heat
of
flash emission may cause dirt on the flash
surface to become discolored or to stick to
the flash surface, resulting
in
insufficient
light emission.
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 tum 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.
