Before use

Notes on using your camera
Screen language
You can select the language displayed
on the screen using the menu (page 42).
Shooting procedure
This camera has 2 modes for monitoring
subjects: the monitor mode using the
monitor, and the viewfinder mode using the
viewfinder.
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.
Creating an image database file
If you insert a memory card that does not
contain an image database file into the
camera and turn on the power, the camera
automatically creates an image database
file using some of the memory card's
capacity.
The process may take a long time and you
cannot operate the camera until the process
is completed. If a database file error occurs,
export all images to your computer using
PlayMemories Home™, and then format
the memory card using the camera.
Notes on recording/playback
• In order to stabilize the operation of the
memory card, it is recommended that you
format the memory card on the camera
when you use it with that camera for the
first time.
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.
• If you repeatedly record and delete
images over a long period, the files on the
memory card may become fragmented
and movie recording may be suspended
partway through. If this occurs, copy the
data to a computer or other device and
then perform [Format].
• 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.
Back up recommendation for a
memory card
If you turn the camera off, remove the
battery pack or the memory card, or
disconnect the USB cable while the access
lamp is flashing, the data on the memory
card may become damaged. To avoid data
loss, always copy (back up) data to another
device.
