• 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.

• The recorded image may be different 

from the image you monitored before 
recording.

• 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.

When importing AVCHD movies to a
