Sony A55VHZ Manual

• This camera has two modes for shooting: 

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.

• 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

• 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 between 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 
six 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.

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.

To avoid the potential risk of data loss, 
always copy (back up) data to other 
medium.

• 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.

• When you change your focus on the 

viewfinder, red, green, or blue flickers 
may appear on the screen. This is not a 
malfunction. These flickers are not 
recorded on the image.

• 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.
