emits radiation. Otherwise, the camera may not properly record or play back
images.

Notes when importing AVCHD movies to a computer
When importing AVCHD format movies to a computer, use “PMB” in the
supplied CD-ROM (for Windows users), or “iMovie” (bundled with
Macintosh, for Macintosh users).
Notes on the LCD screen and lens
• The LCD screen is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology
so over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use. However,
some tiny black and/or bright dots (white, red, blue or green) may appear on
the LCD screen. These dots are a normal result of the manufacturing process,
and do not affect the recording.
• When the battery level becomes low, the lens might stop moving. Insert a
charged battery pack and turn on the camera again.
On camera’s temperature
Your camera and battery may get warm due to continuous use, but it is not a
malfunction.
On the overheat protection
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 LCD screen before the power turns off or
you can no longer record movies.
On image data compatibility
• The camera conforms with DCF (Design rule for Camera File system)
universal standard established by JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information
Technology Industries Association).
• Sony does not guarantee that the camera will play back images recorded or
edited with other equipment, or that other equipment will play back images
recorded with the camera.
