locations:
• Extremely hot or cold places (Operating temperature:
-10°C to +50°C [14°F to 122°F])
• Exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, or close to
heating equipment (e.g., near heaters)
• Close to sources of strong magnetism

radiation, such as radios or TV transmitters
Transportation
When transporting the camera, repack it as originally
packed at the factory or in materials of equal quality.
Cleaning
• Use a blower to remove dust from the lens or optical
filter.
• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the external surfaces of
the camera. Stubborn stains can be removed using a
soft cloth dampened with a small quantity of detergent
solution, then wipe dry.
• Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, benzene
or thinners as they may damage the surface finishes.
About the fan
To prevent internal heat buildup, the camera has a built-
in fan. If the frame rate of the camera becomes 1 fps
although the other frame rate value has been set using
the Frame Rate menu on the Web screen, the built-in fan
may be damaged. In this case, contact your authorized
Sony dealer.
About the MAC address
The MAC address of the camera may change when the
main board has been replaced by the service personnel.
