Notes on using the camera
On use and care
Avoid rough handling, disassembling, modifying, physical shock, or impact such as 
hammering, dropping, or stepping on the product. Be particularly careful of the lens.
On database files
When you insert a memory card without a database file into the camera and turn on the 
power, part of the memory card capacity is used to automatically create a database file. 
It may take some time until you can perform the next operation. If a database file error 
occurs, import all the images to a computer using PlayMemories Home, then format the 
memory card.
Notes on recording/playback
ˎ
ˎ
To ensure stable operation of the memory card, we recommend that you use this 
camera to format any memory card being used with this camera for the first time. 
Note that formatting will erase all data recorded on the memory card. This data cannot 
be restored. Be sure to back up any important data to a computer or other storage 
location. 
ˎ
ˎ
Before you start recording, make a trial recording to make sure that the camera is 
working correctly.
ˎ
ˎ
The camera is neither dust-proof, nor splash-proof, nor water-proof.

Avoid exposing the camera to water. If water enters inside the camera, a malfunction 
may occur. In some cases, the camera cannot be repaired.
ˎ
ˎ
Do not aim the camera at the sun or other bright light. It may cause the malfunction of 
the camera.
ˎ
ˎ
Do not use the camera near a location that generates strong radio waves or emits 
radiation. Otherwise, the camera may not properly record or play back images.
ˎ
ˎ
Using the camera in sandy or dusty locations may cause malfunctions.
ˎ
ˎ
Do not shake or strike the camera. It may cause a malfunction and you may not be 
able to record images. Furthermore, the recording media may become unusable or 
image data may be damaged.
ˎ
ˎ
Clean the flash surface before use. The heat of the flash emission may cause dirt on 
the flash surface to start smoking or burning. Wipe the flash surface with a soft cloth 
to remove dirt or dust, etc.
On camera’s temperature
Your camera and battery may get hot due to continuous use, but it is not a malfunction.
On the overheat protection
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.
Warning on copyright
Television programs, films, videotapes, and other materials may be copyrighted.
Unauthorized recording of such materials may be contrary to the provisions of the 
copyright laws.
No compensation for damaged content or recording failure
Sony cannot compensate for failure to record or loss or damage of recorded content 
due to a malfunction of the camera or recording media, etc.
On moisture condensation
If the camera is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may condense 
inside or outside the camera. This moisture condensation may cause a malfunction of 
the camera.
If moisture condensation occurs
Turn off the camera and wait about an hour for the moisture to evaporate. Note that if 
you attempt to shoot with moisture remaining inside the lens, you will be unable to 
record clear images.
How to store the battery pack
To prevent staining the terminal, short-circuiting, etc., be sure to use a plastic bag, etc. 
to keep away from metal materials when carrying or storing.
