Sony SLTA58K マニュアル

This camera has 2 modes for monitoring 
subjects: an LCD screen mode using the 
LCD screen, and a viewfinder mode using 
the viewfinder.

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

The recorded content cannot be 
compensated for if recording or playback is 
not possible due to a malfunction of your 
camera or memory card, etc.

To avoid the risk of data loss, always copy 
(back up) data to other media.

• 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 the LCD 

screen.

• Do not expose the camera to sunlight or 

shoot toward the sun for extended 
periods of time. The internal mechanism 
may be damaged. If reflected sunlight is 
focused on a nearby object, it may cause 
a fire.

• There is a magnet on the back and around 

the rotating shaft of the hinge of the LCD 
screen. Do not bring anything that is 
easily affected by a magnet, such as 
floppy disks or credit cards, near the 
LCD screen.

• Images may trail across on the screen in 

cold locations. 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 differ from the 

image you monitor before recording.

• When you continue to shoot for a long 

time, the temperature of the camera rises. 
If the temperature reaches a certain level, 
the 

 icon appears on the screen and the 

camera turns 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. 
We recommend that you wait until the 
temperature of the camera drops before 
continuing to shoot.

• The surface of the camera may grow 

warm. This is not a malfunction.
