Sony SLT-A99V マニュアル

Before use

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

• This camera is compatible with 1080 60p 

or 50p-format movies. 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.

This camera is equipped with a 35 mm, 
full-frame CMOS sensor, however, the 
image size is automatically set to that of the 
APS-C size setting, and the image size is 
smaller when a DT lens (“DT” is attached 
to the product name) is used.

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.

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

• 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 sunward for a long time. The 
internal mechanism may be damaged. If 
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 part 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 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.

• When you continue to shoot for a long 

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

 icon appears on the screen 

and the camera turns itself 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.

You can select the language displayed 
on the screen using the menu (page 47).
