Before use

This camera has 2 modes for monitoring 
subjects: the LCD screen mode using the 
LCD screen, and the viewfinder mode 
using the viewfinder.

• This manual describes 1080 60i-

compatible devices and 1080 50i-
compatible devices. 
To check whether your camera 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 
1080 50i-compatible device: 50i

• This camera is compatible with 1080 60p 

or 50p-format movies. Unlike standard 
recording modes up to now, which record 
in an interlacing method, this camera 
records using a progressive method. This 
increases the resolution, and provides a 
smoother, more realistic image.

If you insert a memory card that does not 
contain an image database file into the 
camera and turn on the power, the camera 
automatically creates an image database 
file using some of the memory card's 
capacity.
The process may take a long time and you 
cannot operate the camera until the process 
is completed. If a database file error occurs, 
export all images to your computer using 
“PlayMemories Home,” and then format 
the memory card using the camera.

This camera is equipped with a 35 mm, 
full-frame CMOS sensor. However, the 
image size is automatically set to that of the 
APS-C size setting and the image size is 
smaller when an E-mount lens compatible 
APS-C size is used (default settings).

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 LCD screen 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 screen 
and electronic viewfinder. These points 
are normal in the manufacturing process 
and do not affect the images in any way.

• Do not hold the camera by the LCD 

screen.

• When using the power zoom lens, be 

careful not to draw your fingers or any 
other objects caught in the lens.

• 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.

You can select the language displayed 
on the screen using the menu.
