Sony DSC-RX1/B User Manual

GB

• Clean the flash surface before use. The 

heat of 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.

The camera is equipped with a Carl Zeiss 
lens which is capable of reproducing sharp 
images with excellent contrast. The lens for 
the camera has been produced under a 
quality assurance system certified by Carl 
Zeiss in accordance with the quality 
standards of Carl Zeiss in Germany.

• Do not carry the camera by the flash unit, 

or use excessive strength on it.

• If water, dust or sand get into the open 

flash unit, it may cause a malfunction.

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.

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

• The screen is manufactured using 

extremely high-precision technology so 
over 99.99% of the pixels are operational 
for effective use. However, some tiny 
black and/or bright dots (white, red, blue 
or green) may appear on the screen. 
These dots are a normal result of the 
manufacturing process, and do not affect 
the recording.

• 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.

• 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 rises 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.

• When the temperature of the camera 

rises, the image quality may deteriorate. 
It is recommended that you wait until the 
temperature of the camera drops before 
continuing to shoot.

• Your camera and battery may get hot due 

to continuous use, but it is not a 
malfunction.

• This camera conforms with DCF (Design 

rule for Camera File system) universal 
standard established by JEITA (Japan 
Electronics and Information Technology 
Industries Association).
