RECYCLING LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES

Lithium-Ion batteries

are recyclable.

You can help preserve

our environment by

returning your used

rechargeable batteries

to the collection and recycling

location nearest you.

For more information regarding

recycling of rechargeable batteries,

call toll free 1-800-822-8837, or visit

http://www.call2recycle.org/

Caution: Do not handle damaged or

leaking Lithium-Ion batteries.

This equipment complies with FCC

radiation exposure limits set forth

for an uncontrolled environment and

meets the FCC radio frequency (RF)

Exposure Guidelines. This equipment

has very low levels of RF energy that

is deemed to comply without testing

of specific absorption rate(SAR).

The available scientific evidence does

not show that any health problems

are associated with using low power

wireless devices. There is no proof,

however, that these low power

wireless devices are absolutely safe.

Low power Wireless devices emit low

levels of radio frequency energy (RF)

in the microwave range while being

used. Whereas high levels of RF can

produce health effects (by heating

tissue), exposure of low-level RF that

does not produce heating effects

causes no known adverse health

effects. Many studies of low-level

RF exposures have not found any

biological effects. Some studies

have suggested that some biological

effects might occur, but such

findings have not been confirmed by

additional research. This equipment

has been tested and found to comply

with IC radiation exposure limits set

forth for an uncontrolled environment

and meets RSS-102 of the IC radio

frequency (RF) Exposure rules.

• 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 look at sunlight or a strong

light source through the lens when

it is detached. This may result in

unrecoverable damage to the eyes

or cause a malfunction.

• Do not use the camera in areas

where strong radio waves or

radiation are being emitted.

Recording and playback may not

function correctly.

• Images may trail across on the

screen in a cold location. This is not

a malfunction.

• The recorded image may be

different from the image you

monitored before recording.

Notes on using lenses and

accessories

It is recommended that you use Sony

lenses/accessories designed to suit

the characteristics of this camera.

Using this camera with products from

other manufacturers may affect its

performance, leading to accidents

or malfunction. Sony bears no

responsibility for such accidents or

malfunction.

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.

Notes on shooting with an external

flash

When shooting with an external flash,

light and dark stripes may appear on

the image if the shutter speed is set

to faster than 1/4000seconds.

Notes on shooting with the

viewfinder

• 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 may 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 feeling of unwellness. If you

experience uncomfortable symptoms,

stop using the camera, and consult

your doctor as necessary.

Notes on recording for long

periods of time 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 goes 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.

• 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.

• The surface of the camera may get

warm. This is not a malfunction.

• If the same part of your skin

touches the camera for a long

period of time while using the

camera, even if the camera does

not feel hot to you, it may cause

symptoms of a low-temperature

burn such as redness or blistering.

Pay special attention in the following

situations and use a tripod, etc.

– When using the camera in a high-

temperature environment

– When someone with poor

circulation or impaired skin

sensation uses the camera

– When using the camera with

the [Auto Pwr OFF Temp.] set to

[High].

• Especially during 4K movie

shooting, the recording time may

be shorter under low temperature

conditions. Warm up the battery

pack or replace it with a new

battery.

Notes on playing back movies on

other devices

Movies recorded with this camera

may not be played back correctly on

other devices. Also, movies recorded

with other devices may not be played

back correctly on this camera.

Color Space

The way colors are represented using combinations of numbers or the

range of color reproduction is called “color space.” You can change the

color space depending on the purpose of the image.

MENU (Camera Settings 1) [ Color Space] desired   

setting.

sRGB: This is the standard color space of the digital camera. Use [sRGB]

in normal shooting, such as when you intend to print out the images

without any modification.

AdobeRGB: This color space has a wide range of color reproduction.

When a large part of the subject is vivid green or red, Adobe RGB is

effective. The file name of the recorded image starts with “_.”

Note

• [AdobeRGB] is for applications or printers that support color management

and DCF2.0 option color space. Images may not be printed or viewed in

the correct colors if you use applications or printers that do not support

Adobe RGB.

• When displaying images that were recorded with [AdobeRGB] on non-

Adobe RGB-compliant devices, the images will be displayed with low

saturation.

128

Note

• The SteadyShot function may not work optimally when the power has just

been turned on, right after you point the camera towards a subject, or when

the shutter button has been pressed all the way down without stopping

halfway.

• When using a tripod, make sure to turn off the SteadyShot function because

this can cause any malfunction when shooting.

• [SteadyShot Settings] will be unavailable when MENU 

(Camera Settings 2) [SteadyShot] is set to [Off].

• When the camera cannot obtain focal length information from the lens, the

SteadyShot function does not work correctly. Set [SteadyShot Adjust.] to

[Manual] and set [SteadyS. Focal Len.] to match the lens you are using. The

current set value of the SteadyShot focal length will display to the side of .
