Preparation/Basic

Care of the camera

Do not subject to strong vibration, shock, or pressure.

• The lens, monitor, or external case may be damaged if used in the following conditions.

It may also malfunction or image may not be recorded if you:

– Drop or hit the camera.

– Press hard on the lens or the monitor.

This camera is not dust/drip/water proof.

Avoid using the camera in places with a lot of dust, water, sand, etc.

• Liquid, sand and other foreign material may get into the space around the lens, buttons, etc. Be particularly careful since it may not just cause malfunctions, but it may also become irreparable.

– Places with a lot of sand or dust.

– Places where water can come into contact with this unit, such as when using it on a rainy day or at the beach.

Do not place your hands inside the mount of the digital camera body. Since the sensor unit is a precision apparatus, it may cause a malfunction or damage.

If sand, dust, or liquids such as water droplets adhere to the monitor, wipe them off with a dry soft cloth.

– Not doing so may cause the monitor to respond incorrectly to touch operations.

Keep objects sensitive to magnetic fields (credit cards, etc.) away from the camera. Otherwise, magnetic fields may damage their data and make them unusable.

∫

About Condensation (When the lens or monitor is fogged up)

• Condensation occurs when the ambient temperature or humidity changes. Be careful of condensation since it causes lens and monitor stains, fungus and camera malfunction.

• If condensation occurs, turn the camera off and leave it for about 2 hours. The fog will disappear naturally when the temperature of the camera becomes close to the ambient temperature.

About the firmware of your interchangeable lens

For smoother recording, we recommend updating the firmware of the interchangeable lens to the latest version.

Technique for Panorama Shot Mode

Swivel the camera around its centre when moving it in the recording direction. Hold the camera with both hands, taking care not to shake it.

• When the focal length is long, such as when a telephoto lens is attached, move the camera slowly.

• If the camera shakes too much, pictures may not be able to be recorded, or the recorded panorama picture may become narrower (smaller).

• Move the camera towards the edge of the range you wish to record.

(The edge of the range will not be recorded in the last frame.)

• If you change the facial expression or blink, the recorded picture may look unnatural. Try to stay still.

• We recommend setting the zoom position to Wide when using Self Shot Mode.

• Since the distance between the camera and subject is close when you take panorama pictures in Self Shot

Mode, the edges of the pictures may appear significantly distorted.

Example:

We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer when taking pictures with a slow shutter speed.

The subject appears distorted on the picture.

• If you record a moving subject when using the electronic shutter or recording motion picture or a 4K photo, the subject may appear distorted on the picture. This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera’s pickup sensors. This is not a malfunction.

Striping or flicker may appear under lighting such as fluorescent lighting and LED lighting fixture.

• This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera’s pickup sensors.

This is not a malfunction.

• When using the electronic shutter, lowering the shutter speed may reduce the effect of the horizontal stripes.

• If noticeable flicker or striping is seen under lighting such as a fluorescent or LED lighting fixture when recording motion pictures, you can reduce the flicker or striping by setting up [Flkr Decrease] and fixing the shutter speed. It is possible to select a shutter speed from [1/50], [1/60], [1/100], or [1/120].

The brightness or the hue of the recorded picture is different from the actual scene.

• When recording under fluorescent or LED lighting fixture, etc., increasing the shutter speed may introduce slight changes to brightness and colour. These are a result of the characteristics of the light source and do not indicate a malfunction.

• When recording subjects in extremely bright locations or recording under fluorescent lighting, LED lighting fixture, mercury lamp, sodium lighting, etc., the colours and screen brightness may change or horizontal striping may appear on the screen.
