• Near a location that generates strong radio waves, emits radiation or is strongly
magnetic
In such locations, the camera may not properly record or play back images.
• In sandy or dusty places
Be careful not to let sand or dust get into the camera. This may cause the camera to
malfunction, and in some cases this malfunction cannot be repaired.
On storing
Be sure to attach the front lens cap when not using the camera.
Notes on the screen, electronic viewfinder and lens
• The screen and electronic viewfinder are manufactured using extremely high-
precision technology, and over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective
use. However, some tiny black and/or bright dots (white, red, blue or green) may
appear on the screen and electronic viewfinder. These dots are a normal result of
the manufacturing process, and do not affect the recording.
• When the lens is operating, be careful not to let your finger be caught by the lens.
About the magnet
There is a magnet attached in the area around the flash. Do not put objects that are
affected by magnetic fields, such as a floppy disk or a credit card to the screen or the
camera body.
On using the lenses and accessories
It is recommended that you use Sony lenses/accessories designed to suit the
characteristics of this camera.
Using the products of other manufacturers may cause the camera not to operate to its
capability, or result in accidents and malfunctions of the camera.
Notes on shooting with 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.
Notes on the flash
• 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.
On camera’s temperature
Your camera and battery may get hot due to continuous use, but it is not a
malfunction.
