Before use

• This manual describes 1080 60i-

compatible devices and 1080 50i-
compatible devices. 
To check whether your camera is a 1080 
60i-compatible device or 1080 50i-
compatible device, check for the 
following marks on the bottom of the

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.

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 
images to a computer using “PlayMemories 
Home” and format the memory card using 
the camera.

• To ensure stable operations 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 backup any 
important data to a PC or other storage 
location.

• If you repeatedly record/delete images, 

fragmentation of data may occur on the 
memory card. Movies may not be able to 
be saved or recorded. In such a case, save 
your images to a PC or other storage 
location, then [Format] (page 32).

• Before you start recording, make a trial 

recording to make sure that the camera is 
working correctly.

• 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.

• Do not aim the camera at the sun or other 

bright light. It may cause the malfunction 
of the camera.

• 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.

• Using the camera in sandy or dusty 

locations may cause malfunctions.

• If moisture condensation occurs, remove 

it before using the camera.

• 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.

You can select the language displayed 
on the screen using the menu (page 34).
