4. Audio Delay
To synchronize an audio signal externally recorded 
together with video signal output from the camera, 
appropriate  delay shown in the table below is required for 
phase alignment between video and audio. The values shown in the Code column are recorded as 
Metadata. 
The delay amount (from shot untill output) of video varies depending on the 
video format. For more information, see “Lip Sync Compensation” on page 
137.
When audio is directly connected to the interface box of the camera, the 
phase is automatically adjusted and embedded in the SDI signal output.

  Appendixes
Precautions
Use and Storage
Do not subject the unit to severe shocks
The internal mechanism may be damaged or the body 
warped.
Do not block the ventilation holes
If the ventilation holes are blocked, not only are the 
characteristics not guaranteed, but also extreme 
degradation of the internal parts will likely result, causing 
defects of the camera.
For the locations of the ventilation holes, see the figures in 
“1-3-1 Camera Head” (page 12).
After use
Always turn off the power.
Before storing the unit for a long period
Remove the battery pack.
Use and storage locations
Store in a level, ventilated place. Avoid using or storing the 
unit in the following places:
 Places subject to temperature extremes
 Very damp places
 Places subject to severe vibration
 Near strong magnetic fields 
 In direct sunlight or close to heaters for extended periods
To prevent electromagnetic interference from 
portable communications devices
The use of portable telephones and other communications 
devices near this unit can result in malfunctions and 
interference with audio and video signals.
It is recommended that the portable communications 
devices near this unit be powered off.
Note on laser beams
Laser beams may damage the CCDs. If you shoot a scene 
that includes a laser beam, be careful not to let the laser 
beam be directed into the lens of the camera.
Condensation
If you move the camera from a very cold place to a warm 
place, or use it in a damp location, condensation may form 
on the lens or inside the camera.
The camera has no built-in condensation indicator. If you 
find condensation on the body or lens, switch the camera 
off and wait for the condensation to disappear for about 
one hour.
Phenomena Specific to CCD Image 
Sensors
The following phenomena that may appear in images are 
specific to CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensors. 
They do not indicate malfunctions.
White flecks
Although the CCD image sensors are produced with high-
precision technologies, fine white flecks may be generated 
on the screen in rare cases, caused by cosmic rays.
This is related to the principle of CCD image sensors and 
is not a malfunction.
The white flecks especially tend to be seen
 when operating at a high environmental temperature
 when you have raised the master gain (sensitivity)
This product has a compensation function and the problem 
may be alleviated by automatic black balance adjustment 
(see page 42).
Smear
When an extremely bright object, such as a strong spotlight 
or flashlight, is being shot, vertical tails may be produced 
on the screen, or the image may be distorted.
Aliasing
When fine patterns, stripes, or lines are shot, they may 
appear jagged or flicker.
To forcibly open the shutter
Should the shutter to control incoming light to the CCDs 
not open, immediately call Sony service personnel. 
If you wish to continue shooting for an emergency, you 
may open the shutter forcibly with the following operation:
Use a flat-head screwdriver with external diameter of 3 
mm or less and shaft length of 28 mm or greater.
1Rotate the cap of the emergency shutter opening screw 
(see page 12) counterclockwise to remove.
2Insert the screwdriver into the hole, align the top blade 
with the slot of the screw head, then turn the screw 
clockwise until it clicks.
The shutter opens.

spotlight, strong reflected 
light, flashlight, the sun)

About a “Memory Stick”
What is “Memory Stick”?
“Memory Stick” is a new compact, portable and versatile 
IC (Integrated Circuit) recording medium with a data 
capacity that exceeds a floppy disk. “Memory Stick” is 
specially designed for exchanging and sharing digital data 
among “Memory Stick” compatible products. Because it is 
removable, “Memory Stick” can also be used for external 
data storage.
“Memory Stick” media are available in three sizes: 
standard size, compact “Memory Stick Duo” size, and the 
smallest “Memory Stick Micro” (“M2”
1)) size. Once 
attached to a Memory Stick Duo adapter, a “Memory Stick 
Duo” is the same size as a standard “Memory Stick,” and 
as a result can be used with products requiring a standard 
“Memory Stick.” Also, once attached to a standard-size 
M2 adaptor, a “Memory Stick Micro” is the same size as a 
standard “Memory Stick,” and as a result can be used with 
products requiring a standard “Memory Stick.”
1) “M2” is an abbreviation for “Micro Memory Stick.”
Types of “Memory Stick”
“Memory Stick” is available in the following six types to 
meet various requirements in functions.
“Memory Stick”
Stores any type of data except copyright-protected data 
that requires the “MagicGate” copyright protection 
technology. 
“MagicGate Memory Stick”
Equipped with the “MagicGate” copyright protection 
technology.
“Memory Stick” (“MagicGate”/High-Speed 
Transfer Compatible)
Equipped with “MagicGate” copyright protection 
technology and allows high-speed data transfer.
This type of “Memory Stick” can be used with products 
requiring a “Memory Stick,” “MagicGate Memory Stick,”
