Features of this camera

How to operate or customize the camera

Before use

Notes on using your camera

Shooting procedure

This camera has 2 modes for monitoring

subjects: the monitor mode using the

monitor, and the viewfinder mode using the

viewfinder.

Functions built into this camera

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 file

If 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 card’s

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.

Notes on recording/playback

• In order to stabilize the operation of the

memory card, it is recommended that you

format the memory card on the camera

when you use it with that camera for the

first time.

Once you format the memory card, all the

data recorded on the memory card will be

deleted and cannot be restored. Before

formatting, copy the data to a computer

or other device.

• If you repeatedly record and delete

images over a long period, the files on the

memory card may become fragmented

and movie recording may be suspended

partway through. If this occurs, copy the

data to a computer or other device and

then perform [Format].

• Before you start recording, make a trial

recording to make sure that the camera is

working correctly.

• The camera is neither dust-proof, nor

splash-proof, nor water-proof.

Back up recommendation for a

memory card

If you turn the camera off, remove the

battery pack or the memory card, or

disconnect the USB cable while the access

lamp is flashing, the data on the memory

card may become damaged. To avoid data

loss, always copy (back up) data to another

device.

No compensation for damaged

content or recording failure

Sony can provide no guarantees in the

event of failure to record or loss or damage

of recorded images or audio data due to a

malfunction of the camera or recording

media, etc. We recommend backing up

important data.

Screen language

You can select the language displayed

on the screen using the menu (page 44).

Notes on using your camera

Before use

ZEISS lens

The camera is equipped with a ZEISS lens

which is capable of reproducing sharp

images with excellent contrast. The lens for

the camera has been produced under a

quality assurance system certified by

ZEISS in accordance with the quality

standards of ZEISS in Germany.

Notes on the monitor, electronic

viewfinder, lens, and image sensor

• The monitor and electronic viewfinder

are manufactured using extremely high-

precision technology, and over 99.99%

of the pixels are operational for effective

use. However, there may be some small

black dots and/or bright dots (white, red,

blue or green in color) that constantly

appear on the monitor and electronic

viewfinder. These dots are normal due to

the manufacturing process and do not

affect the images in any way.

• Do not hold the camera by the monitor or

the viewfinder.

• Take care that your finger is not in the

way when pushing the viewfinder down.

• If water, dust or sand adheres to the

viewfinder unit, it may cause a

malfunction.

• Do not expose the camera to sunlight or

shoot sunward for a long time. The

internal mechanism may be damaged.

• Do not use the camera in areas where

strong radio waves or radiation are being

emitted. Recording and playback may not

function correctly.

• Magnets are attached to the camera body

and the back of the monitor. Do not put

objects that are affected by magnetic

fields, such as floppy disks or credit

cards, between the monitor and the

camera body.

• 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 using accessories

It is recommended that you use Sony

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 accessories,

tighten the screws all the way and

confirm that it is firmly fastened to the

camera.

Magnets

Notes on using your camera

• Do not use an external flash with a high

voltage flash sync terminal or inverse

polarity. This may result in malfunction.

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 see the

full composition with all its details, you

can also use the monitor.

• If you pan the camera while looking into

the viewfinder or move your eyes around,

the image in the viewfinder may be

distorted or the color of the image may

change. This is a characteristic of the lens

or display device and is not a

malfunction. When you shoot an image,

we recommend that you look at the

center area of the viewfinder.

• When shooting with the viewfinder, you

may experience symptoms such as

eyestrain, fatigue, travel sickness, or

nausea. We recommend that you take a

break at regular intervals when you are

shooting with the viewfinder.

The required length or frequency of the

break may differ depending on the

individuals, so you are advised to decide

at your own discretion. In case you may

feel uncomfortable, refrain from using

the viewfinder until your condition

recovers, and consult your doctor as

necessary.

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.

Using an external electronic viewfinder (sold separately)

This camera is compatible with the FDA-EV1MK external electronic

viewfinder (sold separately). When an external electronic viewfinder is

attached to the camera, the built-in viewfinder cannot be used.

Notes

• When you are using an external electronic viewfinder, you can change the settings

for [Viewfinder Bright.] (page 43) but not for [Finder Color Temp.] (page 43).

Charging the battery pack

When using the camera for the first time, be sure to charge the battery pack.

The charged battery pack is discharged little by little, even when you do not

use it. To avoid missing an opportunity to shoot, charge the battery pack

again before you shoot.

Charging the battery pack using the battery charger

1 Insert the battery pack into the

battery charger.

• Slide the top cover of the battery

charger to open it, and then insert the

battery pack until it clicks by aligning

the V marks on both the battery pack

and the battery charger.

2 Slide the top cover of the battery charger to close it.

3 Connect the battery charger to the

AC Adaptor (supplied) using the

micro USB cable (supplied), and

connect the AC Adaptor to a wall

outlet (wall socket). Alternatively,

you can charge the battery from a

computer by connecting the

battery charger to a USB jack on a

computer connected to a power

source.

• The CHARGE lamp lights orange when charging is started.

• The CHARGE lamp turns off when charging is finished.

• If the CHARGE lamp lights up and then immediately turns off, the battery

pack is fully charged.

• For some countries/regions, connect the power cord to the AC Adaptor and then

connect the AC Adaptor to a wall outlet (wall socket) when you charge the

battery pack using the AC Adaptor.

Notes

• If the charge lamp on the camera flashes when the AC Adaptor is connected to the

wall outlet (wall socket), this indicates that charging is temporarily stopped because

the temperature is outside the recommended range. When the temperature gets back

within the appropriate range, the charging resumes. We recommend charging the

battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10°C to 30°C (50ºF to 86ºF).

• Connect the AC Adaptor (supplied) to the nearest wall outlet (wall socket). If

malfunctions occur while using the AC Adaptor, disconnect the plug from the wall

outlet (wall socket) immediately to disconnect from the power source.

• When the camera is being used for the first time or when you use a battery pack that

has not been used for a long time, the charge lamp/CHARGE lamp may flash

quickly when the battery is charged for the first time. If that happens, remove the

battery pack from the camera and then re-insert it to recharge.

• Do not continuously or repeatedly charge the battery without using it if it is already

fully charged or close to fully charged. Doing so may cause a deterioration in battery

performance.

• When charging is finished, disconnect the AC Adaptor from the wall outlet (wall

socket).

• Be sure to use only genuine Sony brand battery packs, micro USB cable (supplied)

and AC Adaptor (supplied).

The charging time is approximately 155 min. using the AC Adaptor

(supplied) with the battery charger (supplied), and approximately 150 min.

using the AC Adaptor with the camera.

Notes

• The above charging time applies when charging a fully depleted battery pack at a

temperature of 25°C (77°F). Charging may take longer depending on conditions of

use and circumstances.

Checking the number of images and

recordable time of movies

Notes

• When “0” (the number of recordable images) flashes in yellow, the memory card is

full. Replace the memory card with another one, or delete images from the current

memory card (pages 43, 66).

• When “NO CARD” (the number of recordable images) flashes in yellow, it means

no memory card has been inserted. Insert a memory card.

The table below shows the approximate number of images that can be

recorded on a memory card formatted with this camera. The values are

defined using Sony standard memory cards for testing. The values may vary

depending on the shooting conditions and the type of memory card used.

The table below shows the approximate total recording times using a memory

card formatted with this camera. The recording time for XAVC S and AVCHD

movies is the recording time when shooting with [Dual Video REC] set to [Off].

* Only when [NTSC/PAL Selector] is set to NTSC

([NTSC/PAL Selector] is only available for models that have AVCHD 50i recording

as a default setting.)

• Continuous shooting is possible for approximately 29 minutes. However,

the recording time is approximately 5 minutes when shooting movies in

XAVC S HD 120p/100p format (a product specification limit). Also, if

the file format is set to MP4 (28M), you can shoot continuously for

approximately 20 minutes at a time (limited by file size of 4 GB).

Checking the number of images and recordable time of movies

Notes

• The recordable time of movies varies because the camera is equipped with VBR

(Variable Bit-Rate), which automatically adjusts image quality depending on the

shooting scene. When you record a fast-moving subject, the image is clearer but the

recordable time is shorter because more memory is required for recording.

The recordable time also varies depending on the shooting conditions, the subject or

the image quality/size settings.

• The values shown are not for continuous recording time.

• The recording time may differ depending on shooting conditions and the memory

card used.

• For details on movie playback, see page 64.

• It requires a lot of power to perform high quality movie recording or continuous

shooting using the image sensor. Therefore, if you continue to shoot, the temperature

inside the camera will rise, especially that of the image sensor. In such cases, the

camera turns off automatically since higher temperatures affect the quality of the

images or affect the internal mechanism of the camera.

• The duration of time available for movie recording varies with the temperature or

condition of the camera before you start recording. If you frequently recompose or

shoot images after the power is turned on, the temperature inside the camera will rise

and the recording time available will be shorter.

• When is indicated, stop recording the movie. The temperature inside the camera

has increased to an unacceptable level.

• If the camera stops recording due to the temperature, leave it for several minutes

with the power turned off. Start recording after the temperature inside the camera

drops fully.

• If you observe the following points, the recording time will be longer.

– Keep the camera out of direct sunlight.

– Turn the camera off when it is not being used.

• The maximum continuous recording time is 29 minutes.

• The maximum size of a movie file is about 2 GB, when [ File Format] is set to

[AVCHD]. When the file size is about 2 GB, a new movie file is created

automatically.

• When [ File Format] is set to [MP4], a single movie file is limited to

approximately 4 GB. Movie recording will stop automatically if the file size of a

movie being recorded reaches approximately 4 GB.
