• The recorded image may be different 

from the image you monitored before 
recording.

This camera is equipped with an Organic 
Electro-Luminescence viewfinder with 
high resolution and high contrast. This 
viewfinder achieves a wide viewing angle 
and a long eye relief. This camera is 
designed to provide an easily viewable 
viewfinder by appropriately balancing 
various elements.
• The image may be slightly distorted near 

the corners of the viewfinder. This is not 
a malfunction. When you want to see the 
full composition with all its details, you 
can also use the monitor.

• If you pan the camera while looking into 

the viewfinder or move your eyes around, 
the image in the viewfinder may be 
distorted or the color of the image may 
change. This is a characteristic of the lens 
or display device and is not a 
malfunction. When you shoot an image, 
we recommend that you look at the 
center area of the viewfinder.

• When shooting with the viewfinder, you 

may experience symptoms such as 
eyestrain, fatigue, travel sickness, or 
nausea. We recommend that you take a 
break at regular intervals when you are 
shooting with the viewfinder.
The required length or frequency of the 
break may differ depending on the 
individuals, so you are advised to decide 
at your own discretion. In case you may 
feel uncomfortable, refrain from using 
the viewfinder until your condition 
recovers, and consult your doctor as 
necessary.

• Depending on the camera and battery 

temperature, you may be unable to record 
movies or the power may turn off 
automatically to protect the camera.
A message will be displayed on the 
screen before the power turns off or you 
can no longer record movies. In this case, 
leave the power off and wait until the 
camera and battery temperature goes 
down. If you turn on the power without 
letting the camera and battery cool 
enough, the power may turn off again or 
you may be unable to record movies.

• 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.

• The surface of the camera may get warm. 

This is not a malfunction.

When importing AVCHD movies to a 
computer, download and use the software 
PlayMemories Home from the following 
website:

• Do not carry the camera by the flash unit, 

or use excessive force on it.

• If water, dust or sand get into the open 

flash unit, it may cause a malfunction.

• Be sure to keep your fingers out of the 

way when you press the flash down.
