On moisture condensation

If the camera is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may condense
inside or outside the camera. This moisture condensation may cause a malfunction of the
camera.
If moisture condensation occurs, turn off the camera and wait about an hour for the moisture
to evaporate. Note that if you attempt to shoot with moisture remaining inside the lens, you
will be unable to record clear images.

When you view 3D images shot with this camera on a 3D-compatible monitor, you may
experience discomfort in the form of eye strain, fatigue, or nausea. To prevent these
symptoms, we recommend that you take regular breaks.
However, you need to determine for yourself the length and frequency of breaks you require,
as they vary according to the individual. If you experience any type of discomfort, stop viewing
the 3D images until you feel better, and consult a physician as necessary. Also refer to the
operating instructions supplied with the device or software you have connected or are using
with this camera.
Note that a child’s eyesight is still at the development stage (particularly children below the
age of 6). Consult a pediatrician or ophthalmologist before letting your child view 3D images,
and make sure he/she observes the above precautions when viewing such images.

established by JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association).
Sony does not guarantee that the camera will play back images recorded or edited with other

recorded in AVCHD format with this camera cannot be played by the following devices.

Other devices compatible with AVCHD format that does not support High Profile
Devices incompatible with the AVCHD format

This camera also uses MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 Main Profile for MP4 format recording. For this
reason, movies recorded in MP4 format with this camera cannot be played on devices other
than those that support MPEG-4 AVC/H.264.
You can play a high-definition image quality (HD) disc only on AVCHD format playback
devices. A DVD player or DVD recorder cannot play back a disc recorded in high-definition
image quality (HD) because they are not compatible with the AVCHD format. In addition, if
you insert a high-definition image quality (HD) disc recorded in AVCHD format into a DVD
player or DVD recorder, you may not be able to eject the disc.

Notes on the screen and lens

The 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 screen. These dots are a normal result of the
manufacturing process and do not affect the recording.
