Notes on use
Refer to “Precautions“ in the “Help Guide” as well.
Notes on handling the product
• This camera is designed to be dust-and moisture-resistant, but is not waterproof or dust-proof.
• Do not leave the lens 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 sunlight or other strong light enters the camera through the lens, it may focus inside the
camera and cause smoke or fire. Attach the lens cap when storing the camera. When shooting
with backlighting, keep the sun sufficiently far away from the angle of view. Even if it is slightly
away from the angle of view, smoke or fire may still occur.
• 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.
• This camera (including accessories) has magnet(s) which may interfere with pacemakers,
programmable shunt valves for hydrocephalus treatment, or other medical devices. Do not
place this camera close to persons who use such medical devices. Consult your doctor before
using this camera if you use any such medical device.
• Increase the volume gradually. Sudden loud noises can damage your ears. Be especially careful
when listening to headphones.
• Do not leave the camera, the supplied accessories, or memory cards within the reach of infants.
They may be accidentally swallowed. If this occurs, consult a doctor immediately.
• While the cooling fan is in operation, be careful not to let any objects get sucked into the fan.
Notes on the monitor
• The monitor is 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. These
are imperfections due to the manufacturing process and do not affect the recorded images in
any way.
• If the monitor is damaged, stop using the camera immediately. The damaged parts may harm
your hands, face, etc.
Notes on continuous shooting
During continuous shooting, the monitor may flash between the shooting screen and a black
screen. If you keep watching the screen in this situation, you may experience uncomfortable
symptoms such as feeling of unwellness. If you experience uncomfortable symptoms, stop using
the camera, and consult your doctor as necessary.
Notes on recording for long periods of time or recording 4K movies
• The camera body and battery may become warm with use – this is normal.
• If the same part of your skin touches the camera for a long period of time while using the
camera, even if the camera does not feel hot to you, it may cause symptoms of a low-
temperature burn such as redness or blistering. Pay special attention in the following situations
and use a tripod, etc.
- When using the camera in a high temperature environment
- When someone with poor circulation or impaired skin sensation uses the camera
- When using the camera with [Auto Power OFF Temp.] set to [High]
Notes on using memory cards
• When recording is finished, the memory card may become hot. This is not a malfunction.
• If (overheating warning icon) is displayed on the monitor, do not remove the memory card
from the camera right away. Instead, wait for a while after turning off the camera, and then
remove the memory card. If you touch the memory card while it is hot, you may drop it and the
memory card may be damaged. Be careful when removing the memory card.
Notes on using a tripod
Use a tripod with a screw less than 5.5mm (7/32 inches) long. Otherwise, you cannot firmly
secure the camera, and damage to the camera may occur.
Sony lenses/accessories
Using this unit with products from other manufacturers may affect its performance, leading to
accidents or malfunction.
Warning on copyrights
Television programs, films, videotapes, and other materials may be copyrighted. Unauthorized
recording of such materials may be contrary to the provisions of the copyright laws.
Notes on location information
If you upload and share an image tagged with a location, you may accidentally reveal the
information to a third party. To prevent third parties from obtaining your location information, set
[Location Info Link] to [Off] before shooting images.
Notes on discarding or transferring this product to others
Before discarding or transferring this product to others, be sure to perform the following
operation to protect private information.
• Select [Setting Reset] [Initialize].
Notes on discarding or transferring a memory card to others
Executing [Format] or [Delete] on the camera or a computer may not completely delete the data
on the memory card. Before transferring a memory card to others, we recommend that you
delete the data completely using data deletion software. When discarding a memory card, we
recommend that you physically destroy it.
Note on network functions
When you use network functions, unintended third parties on the network may access the
camera, depending on the usage environment. For example, unauthorized access to the camera
may occur in network environments to which another network device is connected or can
connect without permission. Sony bears no responsibility for any loss or damage caused by
connecting to such network environments.
Note on the 5GHz band for wireless LAN
When using the wireless LAN function outdoors, set the band to 2.4GHz by following the
procedure below. (WW728473 only)
• MENU (Network) [Wi-Fi] [Wi-Fi Frequency Band]
How to turn off wireless network functions (Wi-Fi, etc.) temporarily
When you board an airplane, etc., you can turn off all wireless network functions temporarily
using [Airplane Mode].
Notes on the XLR handle unit (supplied)
• Before connecting/disconnecting an external microphone or device to/from the INPUT1 or
INPUT2 jack, be sure to set the INPUT1 (LINE/MIC/MIC+48V) or INPUT2 (LINE/MIC/MIC+48V)
switch to a position other than “MIC+48V.” Plugging/unplugging the cable into/from the
external microphone or device while the switch is set to “MIC+48V” may cause loud noise or a
malfunction of the device.
• While recording is in progress, operating and handling noises from the camera or lens may be
recorded. Touching the handle while recording is in progress will cause noise to be included in
the recording.
• While recording is in progress, do not change the INPUT1 or INPUT2 switch settings.
• If the microphone of the handle is in proximity to a speaker, acoustic feedback may occur. In
this case, move the handle away from the speaker to allow the maximum distance between the
microphone and the speaker, or lower the speaker volume.
• If dust or water droplets are present on the surface of the microphone, successful recording
may not be possible. Be sure to clean the microphone surface before using the handle.
• Turn off the camera before attaching/removing the handle.
• When the handle is connected to the camera and the HANDLE AUDIO ON/OFF switch is set to
ON, the internal microphone of the camera cannot record audio input.
• When attaching the handle to the camera, fasten the two handle-attachment screws securely.
• Using the handle without fastening the handle-attachment screws may damage the Multi
Interface Shoe terminal or cause the handle to fall off.
