Notes on using your camera

• Do not use an external flash with a high

voltage flash sync terminal or inverse
polarity. This may result in malfunction.

Notes on shooting with the
viewfinder

This camera is equipped with an Organic
Electro-Luminescence viewfinder with
high resolution and high contrast. This
viewfinder achieves a wide viewing angle
and a long eye relief. This camera is
designed to provide an easily viewable
viewfinder by appropriately balancing
various elements.
• 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.
The required length or frequency of the
break may differ depending on the
individuals, so you are advised to decide
at your own discretion. In case you may
feel uncomfortable, refrain from using
the viewfinder until your condition
recovers, and consult your doctor as
necessary.

Notes on recording for long periods
of time

• 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.
