Notes on using your camera
Shooting procedure
• This camera has 2 modes for monitoring 
subjects: the LCD screen mode using the 
LCD screen, and the viewfinder mode 
using the viewfinder.
• The recorded image may be different 
from the image you monitored before 
recording.
Notes on the functions available with 
the camera
• To check whether it is a 1080 60i-
compatible device or 1080 50i-
compatible device, check for the 
following marks on the bottom of the 
camera.
1080 60i-compatible device:60i
1080 50i-compatible device:50i
• 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 among 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 
6 years of age). Before allowing them to 
watch 3D-images, please consult with an 
expert, such as a pediatric or ophthalmic 
doctor. Be sure to make sure your 
children follow the precautions above.
No compensation for contents of the 
recording
The contents of the recording cannot be 
compensated for if recording or playback is 
not possible due to a malfunction of your 
camera or a memory card, etc.
Back up recommendation
To avoid the potential risk of data loss, 
always copy (back up) data to other 
medium.
Notes on the LCD screen, electronic 
viewfinder, lens, and image sensor
• The LCD screen and electronic 
viewfinder are 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 screen 
and electronic viewfinder. These points 
are normal in the manufacturing process 
and do not affect the images in any way.
• Do not hold the camera by taking hold of 
the LCD screen.
• Do not expose the camera to sunlight or 
shoot sunward for a long time. The 
internal mechanism may be damaged. If 
sunlight is focused on a nearby object, it 
may cause a fire.
• Images may trail across on the screen in a 
cold location. This is not a malfunction. 
When turning on the camera in a cold 
location, the screen may become 
temporarily dark. When the camera 
warms up, the screen will function 
normally.
Notes on long-time recording
• When you continue to shoot for a long 
time, the temperature of the camera rises. 
If the temperature reaches above a certain 
level, the 
 mark is indicated on the 
screen and the camera is turned off 
automatically. If the power is turned off, 
leave the camera for 10 minutes or longer 
to allow the temperature inside the 
camera to decrease to a safe level.
• 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
