Do not watch 3D images shot with this camera for extended periods of time on 3D-compatible monitors.

When you view 3D images shot with this camera on 3D-compatible monitors, 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.

What is 1080 60p/50p?

Unlike standard recording modes up to now, which record in an interlacing method, this camera records using a

progressive method. This increases the resolution, and provides a smoother, more realistic image.

On image data compatibility

The camera conforms with DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) universal standard 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 equipment, or that other

equipment will play back images recorded with the camera.

Notes when playing movies on other devices

This camera uses MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 High Profile for AVCHD format recording. Movies 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.

Exposing the screen or the lens to direct sunlight for long periods may cause malfunctions. Be careful when placing the

camera near a window or outdoors.

Do not press against the screen. The screen may be discolored and that may cause a malfunction.

Images may trail across on the screen in a cold location. This is not a malfunction.

Be careful not to bump the movable lens, and be careful not to apply force to it.

Notes on the flash

When using the flash, the flash pops up automatically.

The flash may go down automatically.

[Details]

Do not cover the flash with your fingers.

Do not carry the camera by the flash unit, or use excessive strength on it.

If water, dust or sand get into the open flash unit, it may cause a malfunction.
