characteristics of the packaging materials, note the following points.
Powder, etc. from the packaging materials may adhere to the camera or supplied accessories. In this case, remove it

On the data specifications described in this manual
The data on performance and specifications in this manual are based on an ordinary ambient temperature of 25ºC
(77°F), except where otherwise indicated.
On operating temperatures
Shooting in extremely cold or hot environments that exceed the operating temperature range is not recommended.
Under high ambient temperatures, the temperature of the camera rises quickly.
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.
Depending on the camera temperature, the camera may become unable to record movies or the power may turn off
automatically to protect the camera. A message will be displayed on the external monitor before the power turns off or
you can no longer record movies. In this case, leave the power off and wait until the camera temperature goes down.
If you turn on the power without letting the camera cool sufficiently, the power may turn off again, or you may still be
unable to record movies.
When the power is turned on, the internal temperature of the camera rises even if the camera is not shooting. If the
power is turned on for a long time, then the power turns off or you are unable to record movies, leave the power off
and wait until the temperature drops sufficiently.
Notes on recording for long periods of time or recording 4K movies
During use, the camera may become warm. This is not a malfunction.
Notes on playing movies on other devices
XAVC HS and XAVC S movies can only be played back on compatible devices.
Notes on recording/playback
