66Warning/Error Messages Appendix Warning/Error Messages If the battery voltage drops or an error is detected when power is applied or during operation, the corresponding indicator lights up/flashes and a message appears on the subdisplay. The error details are displayed in the self- diagnostics on settings page 3 on the subdisplay and in the viewfinder. Warnings and error messages occurring on the SR-R4 are also displayed in the self-diagnostics field. For details about SR-R4 messages, refer to the operation manual of the SR-R4.A message prompt is displayed in the viewfinder/monitor to execute the APR function if the fixed-interval image sensor auto adjustment (APR) is not executed. If prompted, execute Automatic Pixel Noise Reduction on the page of the Diagnosis menu. Note that the APR function may not execute if the camera is too cold or too hot. In this case, a low temperature or high temperature indication message is displayed. This does not indicate a malfunction.

68Precautions Appendix 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 Locations and Functions of Parts” (page 12). After use Always turn off the power. 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 image sensor device. 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. Image sensor phenomena The following phenomena that may appear in images are specific to image sensors. They do not indicate malfunctions. White flecks Although the 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 image sensors and is not a malfunction. The white flecks especially tend to be seen when operating at a high environmental temperature 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 image sensor not open, immediately consult your local Sony representative. If you want to continue shooting urgently, you can use the shutter emergency open screw (page 12) to forcibly open the shutter to a position that ensures an optical light path. For information about using the shutter emergency open screw, consult your local Sony representative. When setting the video format It is recommended that the power be turned off and back on again after changing the video format.
69Cleaning the Recorder Connector / About “Memory Stick Duo” Appendix Cleaning the Recorder Connector Before cleaning the recorder connector, always check that the power supply is disconnected before proceeding. If the recorder connector is dirty, there is increased risk of errors in the data transmission between the camera and the SR-R4. The recorder connector should be cleaned if any of the following conditions occurs. DOCK indicator is lit yellow or red. DIAGNOSIS indicator is lit red and the “CRCC Error occurred” message is displayed. You will need the following items in order to clean the recorder connector: Commercially available optical fiber cleaning swabs 99.5% (or higher) pure alcohol 1Remove the SR-R4. If the SR-R4 was not connected, remove the connector cap from the recorder connector. 2Press the recorder connector using your finger 1, and open the protective shutter to expose the optical contacts. 3Dip an optical fiber cleaning swab in alcohol and gently wipe the whole optical contacts area about five times. Always use alcohol only in well-ventilated areas away from heat or flame. Wiping firmly may damage the optical fiber contacts. 4Release the connector’s protective shutter, and connect the SR-R4. If not connecting the SR-R4, reattach the connector cap. About “Memory Stick Duo” Supported types of “Memory Stick” You can use “Memory Stick Duo” or “Memory Stick PRO Duo.” The camera operations have been checked using “Memory Stick” media up to 32 GB. This camera is not compliant with high-speed data transfer with this type of “Memory Stick.” Operations checked with: MSX-M2GN MSX-M1GST MSX-M2GST MS-HX8 MS-HX32 MS-MT2G MS-MT4G MS-MT16G MS-MT32G Note on data read/write speed Data read/write speed may vary depending on the combination of the “Memory Stick” and “Memory Stick” compliant product you use. Inserting a “Memory Stick Duo” Insert a “Memory Stick Duo” with the label side facing left into the “Memory Stick Duo” slot until it clicks and the access lamp lights in red. Check that the access lamp then goes off. If it does not fit into the slot properly or if there is some resistance when you insert it, the “Memory Stick Duo” may be turned around or upside-down. Do not force the “Memory Stick Duo” into the slot. Confirm the direction of the notch and arrow on the “Memory Stick Duo” before Note Notes Optical contacts Note Access lamp
70About “Memory Stick Duo” Appendix inserting the “Memory Stick Duo,” and then try inserting it again. To remove a “Memory Stick Duo” Confirm that the access lamp is not flashing red, then lightly push in the “Memory Stick Duo” to release the lock. If the access lamp is flashing red, data is being read from or written to the “Memory Stick Duo” At this time, do not shake the product or subject it to shock. Do not turn off the power to the product or remove the “Memory Stick Duo.” Doing so may damage the data. Protecting saved data To prevent accidental erasure of important setup data, use the LOCK switch on the “Memory Stick Duo.” Slide the switch upward to the write protect position. This ensures that you cannot inadvertently overwrite data on the “Memory Stick Duo.” The “Memory Stick Duo” does not have a LOCK switch. When using “Memory Stick Duo” media, be careful not to inadvertently overwrite or erase your data. Precautions Do not attach anything other than the supplied label to the “Memory Stick Duo” labeling position. Attach the label so that it does not stick out beyond the labeling position. Carry and store the “Memory Stick Duo” in its case. Do not touch the connector of the “Memory Stick Duo” with anything, including your finger or metallic objects. Do not strike, bend, or drop the “Memory Stick Duo.” Do not disassemble or modify the “Memory Stick Duo.” Do not allow the “Memory Stick Duo” to get wet. Do not use or store the “Memory Stick Duo” in a location that is: — Extremely hot, such as in a car parked in the sun — Under direct sunlight — Very humid or subject to corrosive substances To prevent data loss, make backups of data frequently. In no event will Sony be liable for any loss of data. Unauthorized recording may be contrary to the provisions of copyright law. When you use a “Memory Stick Duo” that has been pre-recorded, be sure that the material has been recorded in accordance with copyright and other applicable laws.
