Movies recorded by your camera may not be playable properly on other
devices. Also, movies recorded by devices other than your camera may not be
able to playback on your camera.
Discs of AVCHD movies recorded by your camera can only be played back on
devices supporting AVCHD format.
DVD players and DVD recorders do not support AVCHD format, so they cannot
playback AVCHD movie discs.
Also, if a high definition image quality (HD) disc recorded with AVCHD format is
inserted in either of DVD players or DVD recorders, the disc may be unable to
eject from the device.
Movies recorded in 1080 60p/1080 50p format can be played back only on
1080 60p/1080 50p supported devices.
XAVC S movies can be played back only on XAVC S-supported devices.
On the monitor, viewfinder, and lens
The monitor and 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 consistently appear on the monitor and the
viewfinder. These points are normal in the manufacturing process and do not
affect the images in any way.
Exposing the monitor or lens to direct sunlight for long periods may cause a
malfunction. Exercise caution when placing the product near a window or
outdoors.
Do not press against the monitor. The monitor may be discolored and that may
cause a malfunction.
Images may trail across on the monitor in a cold location. This is not a
malfunction.
If the monitor has drops of water or other liquids on it, wipe it with a soft cloth. If
the monitor stays wet, the surface of the monitor may change or deteriorate.
This may cause a malfunction.
Make sure not to bump the lens or subject it to force.
Do not carry the camera by the monitor.
When using the power zoom lens, be careful not to get 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.
Do not look at sunlight or a strong light source through the lens when it is
