Precautions
The Cleaning Cloth
Remove large specks of dirt from the Cleaning Cloth before using it.
On the functions available with the camera
You may feel uncomfortable symptoms such as eyestrain, nausea, or a tired
feeling while watching 3D images recorded with the camera on 3D compatible
monitors. When you watch 3D images, we recommend that you take a break at
regular time intervals. Since the need for or frequency of break times varies
between individuals, please set your own standards. If you feel sick, stop
watching 3D images, and consult a doctor as needed. Also, refer to the
operating instructions of the connected device or the software used with the
camera. A child's vision is always vulnerable (especially for children under six
years of age). Before allowing them to watch 3D images, please consult with
an expert, such as a pediatric or ophthalmic doctor. Make sure your children
follow the precautions above.
On the LCD monitor and lens
• The LCD monitor is manufactured using extremely high-precision
technology so over 99.99 % of the pixels are operational for effective use.
However, there may be some tiny black points and/or bright points (white,
red, blue or green in color) that constantly appear on the LCD monitor. These
points are normal in the manufacturing process and do not affect the images
in any way.
• A magnet is attached to the back of the LCD monitor. Do not put objects that
are affected by magnetic fields, such as a floppy disk or a credit card,
between the LCD monitor and the camera body.
• Images may trail across on the LCD monitor in a cold location. This is not a
malfunction. When turning on the camera in a cold location, the LCD
monitor may become temporarily dark.
• Do not expose the camera to direct sunlight. If sunlight is focused on a
nearby object, it may cause a fire. When you must place the camera under
direct sunlight, attach the front lens cap.
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.
Do not use/store the camera in the following places
• In an extremely hot, dry or humid place
In places such as in a car parked in the sun, the camera body may become
deformed and this may cause a malfunction.
• Storing under direct sunlight or near a heater
The camera body may become discolored or deformed, and this may cause a
malfunction.
• In a location subject to rocking vibration
