Notes on using the camera

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.

• This camera is compatible with 4K 30p/4K 25p/4K 24p recording. Movies can be

recorded in a higher resolution than HD format.

On use and care

Avoid rough handling, disassembling, modifying, physical shock, or impact such as

hammering, dropping, or stepping on the product. Be particularly careful of the lens.

Notes on recording/playback

• Before you start recording, make a trial recording to make sure that the camera is

working correctly.

• This camera is designed to be dust and moisture-resistant, but is not waterproof or

splash-proof.

• 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 the sun or a strong light through a removed lens. This may cause

irrecoverable damage to your eyes. Or it may cause a malfunction of the lens.

• If moisture condensation occurs, remove it before using the camera.

• Do not shake or strike the camera. It may cause a malfunction and you may not be

able to record images. Furthermore, the recording media may become unusable or

image data may be damaged.

Do not use/store the camera in the following places

• In an extremely hot, cold or humid place

In places such as in a car parked in the sun, the camera body may become

deformed and this may cause a malfunction.

• Under direct sunlight or near a heater

The camera body may become discolored or deformed, and this may cause a

malfunction.

• In a location subject to shaking or vibration

• Near a location that generates strong radio waves, emits radiation or is strongly

magnetic

In such locations, the camera may not properly record or play back images.

Be careful not to let sand or dust get into the camera. This may cause the camera to

malfunction, and in some cases this malfunction cannot be repaired.
