• Do not leave the lens or the
viewfinder exposed to a strong
light source such as sunlight.
Because of the lens's condensing
function, doing so may cause
smoke, fire, or a malfunction inside
the camera body or the lens. If you
have to leave the camera exposed
to a light source such as sunlight,
attach the lens cap to the lens.
• When you shoot with backlighting,
keep the sun sufficiently far away
from the angle of view. Otherwise,
the sunlight may enter the focus
inside the camera and cause smoke
or fire. Even if the sun is slightly
away from the angle of view, it may
still cause smoke or fire.
• Do not directly expose the lens to
beams such as laser beams. That
may damage the image sensor and
cause the camera to malfunction.
• Do not look at sunlight or a strong
light source through the lens when
it is detached. This may result in
unrecoverable damage to the eyes
or cause a malfunction.
• Do not use the camera in areas
where strong radio waves or
radiation are being emitted.
Recording and playback may not
function correctly.
• Images may trail across on the
screen in a cold location. This is not
a malfunction.
• The recorded image may be
different from the image you
monitored before recording.
Notes on using lenses and
accessories
It is recommended that you use Sony
lenses/accessories designed to suit
the characteristics of this camera.
Using this camera with products from
other manufacturers may affect its
performance, leading to accidents
or malfunction. Sony bears no
responsibility for such accidents or
malfunction.
Notes on the Multi Interface Shoe
• When attaching or detaching
accessories such as an external
flash to the Multi Interface Shoe,
first turn the power to OFF. When
attaching the accessory, confirm
that it is firmly fastened to the
camera.
• Do not use the Multi Interface Shoe
with a commercially available flash
that applies voltages of 250 V or
more or has the opposite polarity
of the camera. It may cause a
malfunction.
Notes on shooting with the
viewfinder
• The image may be slightly distorted
near the corners of the viewfinder.
This is not a malfunction. When you
want to see the full composition
with all its details, you can also use
the monitor.
