Precautions

B

Operating or storing the camera in the 
following locations may cause damage to 
the camera:
• Extremely hot or cold places (Operating 

temperature: 0 °C to 40 °C 
[32 °F  to  104 °F])

• Exposed in direct sunlight for a long time, 

or close to heating equipment (e.g., near 
heaters)

• Close to sources of strong magnetism
• Close to sources of powerful 

electromagnetic radiation, such as radios 
or TV transmitters

• Locations subject to vibration or shock

To prevent heat buildup, do not block air 
circulation around the camera.

When transporting the camera, repack it as 
originally packed at the factory or in 
materials equal in quality.

• When the body of the camera is dirty, 

clean it with a soft cloth that is soaked with 
a diluted neutral detergent and tightly 
wrung. Then finish with a dry cloth.

• Do not use any type of solvents, which 

may damage the finish.

• When you use a chemical cloth, follow its 

instructions.

• Do not sprinkle volatile matter such as 

pesticide over your camera nor allow 
rubber or vinyl to come in contact with the 
camera for a long period of time. Doing so 
may damage the finish.

The camera mechanism may cause abnormal 
noise due to wear and lubrication loss after a 
long period of use. To maintain optimum 
performance, we recommend periodical 

maintenance. If abnormal noise occurs, 
consult your Sony dealer.

Note on laser beams
Laser beams may damage the CCD 
image sensors. If you shoot a scene that 
includes a laser beam, be careful not to let 
a laser beam become directed into the 
image sensors of the camera.
