Before use
Notes on using your camera
Shooting procedureThis camera has 2 modes for monitoring 
subjects: the LCD screen mode using the 
LCD screen, and the viewfinder mode 
using the viewfinder.
Functions built into this camera This manual describes 1080 60i-
compatible devices and 1080 50i-
compatible devices. 
To check whether your camera is a 1080 
60i-compatible device or 1080 50i-
compatible device, check for the 
following marks on the bottom of the 
camera. 
1080 60i-compatible device: 60i 
1080 50i-compatible device: 50i
 This camera is compatible with 1080 60p 
or 50p-format movies. Unlike standard 
recording modes up to now, which record 
in an interlacing method, this camera 
records using a progressive method. This 
increases the resolution, and provides a 
smoother, more realistic image.
Creating an image database fileIf you insert a memory card that does not 
contain an image database file into the 
camera and turn on the power, the camera 
automatically creates an image database 
file using some of the memory cards 
capacity.
The process may take a long time and you 
cannot operate the camera until the process 
is completed. If a database file error occurs, 
export all images to your computer using 
“PlayMemories Home,” and then format 
the memory card using the camera.
Shooting with an E-mount lens 
compatible APS-C size
This camera is equipped with a 35 mm, 
full-frame CMOS sensor. However, the 
image size is automatically set to that of the 
APS-C size setting and the image size is 
smaller when an E-mount lens compatible 
APS-C size is used (default settings).
No compensation for damaged 
content or recording failure
Sony cannot compensate for failure to 
record or loss or damage of recorded 
content due to a malfunction of the camera 
or recording media, etc.
Back up recommendationTo avoid the data loss, always copy (back 
up) data to other media.
Notes on the LCD screen, electronic 
viewfinder, lens, and image sensor
 The LCD screen and electronic 
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 constantly appear on the LCD screen 
and electronic viewfinder. These points 
are normal in the manufacturing process 
and do not affect the images in any way.
 Do not hold the camera by the LCD 
screen.
 When using the power zoom lens, be 
careful not to draw 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. If 
sunlight is focused on a nearby object, it 
may cause a fire.
Screen languageYou can select the language displayed 
on the screen using the menu.  
						

							Notes on using your camera
GB8
 Images may trail across on the screen in a 
cold location. This is not a malfunction.
When turning on the camera in a cold 
location, the screen may become 
temporarily dark. When the camera 
warms up, the screen will function 
normally.
 The recorded image may be different 
from the image you monitored before 
recording.
Notes on recording for long periods 
of time
 Depending on the camera and battery 
temperature, you may be unable to record 
movies or the power may turn off 
automatically to protect the camera.
A message will be displayed on the 
screen before the power turns off or you 
can no longer record movies. In this case, 
leave the power off and wait until the 
camera and battery temperature goes 
down. If you turn on the power without 
letting the camera and battery cool 
enough, the power may turn off again or 
you may be unable to record movies.
 Under high ambient temperatures, the 
temperature of the camera rises quickly.
 When the temperature of the camera 
rises, the image quality may deteriorate. 
It is recommended that you wait until the 
temperature of the camera drops before 
continuing to shoot.
 The surface of the camera may get warm. 
This is not a malfunction.
Notes on importing AVCHD movies to 
a computer
When importing AVCHD movies to a 
computer, download and use the software 
“PlayMemories Home” from the following 
website:
http://www.sony.net/pm/
Notes when playing movies on other 
devices
 This camera uses MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 
High Profile for AVCHD format 
recording. Movies recorded in AVCHD 
format with this camera cannot be played 
with the following devices.
– Other devices compatible with 
AVCHD format that do not support 
High Profile
– Devices incompatible with the 
AVCHD format
This camera also uses MPEG-4 AVC/
H.264 Main Profile for MP4 format 
recording. For this reason, movies 
recorded in MP4 format with this camera 
cannot be played on devices other than 
those that support MPEG-4 AVC/H.264.
 Discs recorded with HD (high definition) 
image quality can be played back only on 
AVCHD format-compatible devices. 
DVD-based players or recorders cannot 
play back HD image quality discs, as 
they are incompatible with the AVCHD 
format. Also, DVD-based players or 
recorders may fail to eject HD image 
quality discs.
 Movies recorded in 1080 60p/1080 50p 
format can be played back only on 1080 
60p/1080 50p-supported devices.

are defined under the following conditions, 
except as described in this manual: at an 
ordinary ambient temperature of 25ºC 
(77°F), and using a battery pack that has

Notes on shooting with the 
viewfinder
This camera is equipped with an Organic 
Electro-Luminescence viewfinder with 
high resolution and high contrast. This 
viewfinder achieves a wide viewing angle 
and a long eye relief. This camera is 
designed to provide an easily viewable 
viewfinder by appropriately balancing 
various elements.
 The image may be slightly distorted near 
the corners of the viewfinder. This is not 
a malfunction. When you want to check 
every detail of the entire composition, 
you can also use the LCD screen.
