This equipment complies with FCC
radiation exposure limits set forth
for an uncontrolled environment and
meets the FCC radio frequency (RF)
Exposure Guidelines. This equipment
has very low levels of RF energy that
is deemed to comply without testing
of specific absorption rate(SAR).
The available scientific evidence does
not show that any health problems
are associated with using low power
wireless devices. There is no proof,
however, that these low power
wireless devices are absolutely safe.
Low power Wireless devices emit low
levels of radio frequency energy (RF)
in the microwave range while being
used. Whereas high levels of RF can
produce health effects (by heating
tissue), exposure of low-level RF that
does not produce heating effects
causes no known adverse health
effects. Many studies of low-level
RF exposures have not found any
biological effects. Some studies
have suggested that some biological
effects might occur, but such
findings have not been confirmed by
additional research. This equipment
has been tested and found to
comply with IC radiation exposure
limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment and meets RSS-102 of
the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure
rules.

Notes on using your camera
Along with this section, also see
“Precautions” in the Help Guide
(page2).
Screen language
You can select the language
displayed on the screen using the
menu (page 80).
Notes on recording/playback
• 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.
• Before you start recording, make
a trial recording to make sure that
the camera is working correctly.
Notes on handling the product
• This camera is designed to be dust
and moisture-resistant, but is not
waterproof or splash-proof.
• 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.
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.
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.
• 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.
• 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.
In case you may feel
uncomfortable, refrain from using
the viewfinder until your condition
recovers, and consult your doctor
as necessary.
Notes on continuous shooting
During continuous shooting, the
monitor or viewfinder 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
• 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.
• Especially during 4K movie
shooting, the recording time may
be shorter under low temperature
conditions. Warm up the battery
pack or replace it with a new
battery.
