Preparing the camera
Notes on using your camera
Shooting procedure
• This camera has 2 modes for monitoring 
subjects: the LCD monitor mode using 
the LCD monitor, 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
• 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.
• 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 monitor, electronic 
viewfinder, lens, and image sensor
• The LCD monitor 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 
monitor 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 monitor.
• 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 monitor. Do not bring anything that 
is easily affected by a magnet, such as 
floppy disk, credit cards near the LCD 
monitor.
• 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.
