How to avoid moisture condensation
When you bring the camera from a cold place into a warm place, put the camera in a plastic bag and seal it
tightly. Remove the bag when the air temperature inside the plastic bag has reached the ambient
temperature (after about 1 hour).

Notes on optional accessories
• Genuine Sony accessories may not be available in some countries/regions.
Note on disposal/transfer of the memory card
Even if you delete data in the memory card or format the memory card on the camera or a computer, you
may not delete data from the memory card completely. When you give the memory card to somebody, it is
recommended that you delete data completely using data deletion software on a computer. Also, when you
dispose of the memory card, it is recommended that you destroy the actual body of the memory card.

On GPS
• As the positions of GPS satellites vary constantly, it may take longer to determine the location or the
receiver may not be able to determine the location at all, depending on the location and time you use the
camera.
camera.
• GPS is a system that determines your position by receiving signals from satellites. Avoid using the GPS
feature on your camera in places where radio signals are blocked or reflected, such as a shadowy place
surrounded by buildings or trees, etc. Use the camera in open sky environments.
surrounded by buildings or trees, etc. Use the camera in open sky environments.
• You may not be able to record location information at locations or in situations where radio signals from
the GPS satellites do not reach the camera as follows.
– In tunnels, indoors or under the shade of buildings.
– Between tall buildings or at narrow streets surrounded by buildings.
– In underground locations, locations surrounded by dense trees, under an elevated bridge, or in

– Between tall buildings or at narrow streets surrounded by buildings.
– In underground locations, locations surrounded by dense trees, under an elevated bridge, or in
locations where magnetic fields are generated, such as near high voltage cables.
– Near devices that generate radio signals of the same frequency band as the camera: near 1.5 GHz band
mobile telephones, etc.
• If you take images with the GPS log set to [ON], and upload those images to the Internet, the shooting
location may be available to third parties. To prevent this, set GPS log to [OFF] before shooting.
On triangulation errors
• If you move to another location right after turning the camera on, it may take a longer time for the camera
to start triangulating, compared to when you stay in the same place.
• Error caused by the position of GPS satellites
The camera automatically triangulates your current location when the camera receives radio signals from
3 or more GPS satellites. The triangulating error allowed by the GPS satellites is about 10 m (33 feet).
Depending on the environment of the location, the triangulating error can be greater. In this case, your
actual location may not match the location on the map based on the GPS information. Meanwhile, the
GPS satellites are controlled by the United States Department of Defense, and the degree of accuracy
may be changed intentionally.

• Error during the triangulating process
The camera acquires location information periodically during triangulating. There is a slight time lag
between when the location information is acquired and when the location information is recorded on an
image, therefore, the actual recording location may not match the exact location on the map based on the
GPS information.

On GPS use restriction
• Use GPS in accordance with the situation and regulations of the countries/regions where you use the
camera.
