Important Notes on Operation
Fitting the zoom lens
It is important to fit the lens correctly, as otherwise
damage may result. Be sure to refer to the section
“Fitting the Lens” (See page 30).
Do not cover the unit while operating
Putting a cloth, for example, over the unit can cause
excessive internal heat build-up.
Operation and storage
Avoid storing or operating the unit in the following
conditions.
• In excessive heat or cold (operating temperature
range: –10 °C to +45 °C (14 °F to 113 °F))
Remember that in summer in warm climates the
temperature inside a car with the windows closed can
easily exceed 50 °C (122 °F).
• In damp or dusty locations
• Locations where the unit may be exposed to rain
• Locations subject to violent vibration
• Close to radio or TV transmitters producing strong
electromagnetic fields.
Viewfinder
• Do not leave the camera with the eyepiece pointing
directly at the sun.
The eyepiece lens can concentrate the sun’s rays and
melt the interior of the viewfinder.
• Do not use the viewfinder close to strong magnetic
fields. This can cause picture distortion.
Shipping
Use the optional LC-421 Carrying Case for optimal
shipping.
If sending the camera by truck, ship, air or other
transportation service, first store it in the carrying case,
then pack the carrying case in the supplied carton (or
an equivalent).
Care of the unit
Remove dust and dirt from the surfaces of the lenses or
optical filters using a blower.
If the body of the camera is dirty, clean it with a soft,
dry cloth. In extreme cases, use a cloth steeped in a
little neutral detergent, then wipe dry. Do not use
organic solvents such as alcohol or thinners, as these
may cause discoloration or other damage to the finish
of the unit.
In the event of operating problems
If you should experience problems with the unit,
contact your supplier or Sony service representative.
