Read this first
Before operating this unit, please read this manual thoroughly, and retain it for future
reference.
Precautions when using the
camcorder
Do not hold the camcorder by the following
parts, and also do not hold the camcorder by the
jack covers.
b Notes
The camcorder is not dustproof, dripproof or
waterproof. See “About handling of your
camcorder” (p. 188).
When connecting the camcorder to another
device with communication cables, be sure to
insert the connector plug in the correct way.
Pushing the plug forcibly into the terminal will
damage the terminal and may result in a
malfunction of the camcorder.
Use your camcorder in accordance with country/
region regulations.
On the LCD screen
A menu item that is grayed out is not available
under the current recording or playback
conditions.
The LCD screen is manufactured using
extremely high-precision technology, so over
99.99% of the pixels are operational for
effective use. However, there may be some tiny
black points and/or bright points (white, red,
blue, or green in color) that appear constantly on
the LCD screen. These points are normal results
of the manufacturing process and do not affect
the recording in any way.
On sunlight
Do not record the sun or leave the camcorder
under the sun. The internal parts of the
camcorder may be damaged. If sunlight is
focused on a nearby object, it may cause a fire.
When you must place the camcorder under
direct sunlight, attach the front lens cap.
Do not expose your camcorder’s viewfinder,
lens, or LCD screen to the sun or strong light
source for extended periods. Doing so may
cause a malfunction of the camcorder.
Do not attempt to record the sun directly. Doing
so may cause a malfunction of the camcorder.
Do not look at the sun or a strong light through a
removed lens. This may cause irrecoverable
damage to your eyes. Also, this may cause a
malfunction.
Do not expose the lens to beams, such as laser
beams.
That may damage the image sensor and cause
the camera to malfunction.

On the temperature of your camcorder
and battery pack
Your camcorder has a protective function that
disables recording or playback if the
temperature of your camcorder or battery pack
is beyond the safely operable range. In this case,
a message appears on the LCD screen (p. 176).
On recording
When the memory card access lamp is lit or
flashing in red, your camcorder is reading or
writing data. Do not apply any vibrations or
shocks to your camcorder. Do not turn the
power off, and do not remove the memory
cards, battery pack, or the AC Adapter. The
image data may be destroyed.
In order to stabilize memory card operation, it is
recommended that you format the memory card
when you use it with your camcorder for the
first time. All data recorded on the memory card
will be erased by formatting, and cannot be
recovered. Save important data on the memory
card on other media, such as a computer, before
formatting the memory card.
Before starting to record, test the recording
function to make sure the picture and sound are
recorded without any problems.
Compensation for the loss of the content of
recordings or the loss of recording opportunities
cannot be provided, even if recording or
playback is not possible due to a malfunction of
the camcorder, storage media, etc., or even if
images or sounds are distorted due to the limits
of the capabilities of the camcorder.
TV color systems differ depending on the
countries/regions. To view your recordings on a
TV, you need to set [60i/50i SEL] in accordance
with the country/region.
Television programs, films, video tapes, and
other materials may be copyrighted.
Unauthorized recording of such materials may
be contrary to the copyright laws.
Because of the way that the image device
(CMOS sensor) reads out image signals, the
following phenomena may occur.
The subjects passing by the frame rapidly
might appear crooked depending on the
recording conditions. (This phenomenon may
be notable in displays having high motion
resolution.)
Horizontal lines appear on the LCD screen
during recording under fluorescent lights,
sodium lamps or mercury lamps. The
phenomena can be reduced by adjusting the
shutter speed (p. 51).
Images on the LCD screen look horizontally
divided when a subject is continuously lit
with a flash. The effect of this phenomenon
may be reduced by using a slower shutter
speed. Also, you may try using software to
repair the image.
Save all your recorded image data
To prevent your image data from being lost,
save all your recorded images on external media
periodically.
To handle the recorded images on
your computer
Download the “Catalyst Browse” software.
Format the memory card using
[MEDIA FORMAT] if images are not
recorded or played back properly
If you continue recording and deleting images
on memory cards for a long time, the files on
that memory card may become fragmented. As a
result, you may not be able to record and save
images properly. If this happens, save the
images on a separate recordable media, such as
a disc or computer, then format the memory
card. See “Formatting a memory card” (p. 136).

About the operation of the camcorder
The operation of the camcorder is controlled
using the SEL/SET dial (p. 7, 139) or the multi-
selector on the grip (p. 10).
About this manual
Operations in this manual are described using
the “SELP18105G” lens. When the operation
differs depending on the lens used, you will find
the relevant information in “Notes” or “Tips.”
The values you can set in [REC FORMAT] and
other menus depend on the [60i/50i SEL]
setting. In this manual, the values for both [60i]
and [50i] settings are described.
The images of the LCD screen used in this
manual for illustration purposes are captured
using a digital still camera.
The on-screen displays in each local language
are used for illustrating the operating
procedures. Change the screen language before
using your camcorder if necessary (p. 165).
Design and specifications of memory cards and
other accessories are subject to change without
notice.

the LCD screen brighter.
The iris will not adjust automatically in
movie mode.
b Notes
Some lenses may not be usable or may have
limited functionality. Check the dedicated
support web site or consult your local
authorized Sony service facility on compatible
lenses.
The sound of the lens and the camcorder in
operation may be recorded during movie
recording. You can avoid this by recording
without the microphone, or by setting the
AUTO/MAN (CH-1) switch or AUTO/MAN
(CH-2) switch to “MAN” and the AUDIO
LEVEL (CH-1, CH-2) dial to 0 (p. 82).
It may take a long time or may be difficult for
the camcorder to focus, depending on the lens
used or the subject.

High Dynamic Range (HDR)
Reproduction of brightness over a wider
range than previously available is now
supported by applying an HDR-compatible
picture profile. The camcorder supports
Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG), with four
selectable settings.
The [HLG] setting is equivalent to ITU-R
BT.2100. The [HLG1], [HLG2], and
[HLG3] settings enable images to be
reproduced with a wider dynamic range
without images that appear unnatural, as
can arise in existing camera image
reproduction.

On devices used for playback and display that
support the metadata, the video is displayed
automatically with the appropriate settings. On
devices that do not support the metadata,
manual configuration is required.
For AVCHD recording / MPEG HD
recording
AVCHD format recordings and MPEG HD
format recordings do not support HDR
metadata. For appropriate playback and display
of HDR, manual configuration is required.
The following items have been added.
