Your camera is 1080 60i-compatible

50i-compatible, check for the
following marks on the bottom of
the camera.
1080 60i-compatible camera: 60i

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.
On the LCD screen and
lens
• 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 constantly appear on the
LCD screen. These points are
normal in the manufacturing
process and do not affect the
images in any way.
• Images may trail across on the
LCD screen in a cold location.
This is not a malfunction. When
turning on the camera in a cold
location, the LCD screen may
become temporarily dark.
• Do not press against the LCD
screen. The monitor may be
discolored and that may cause a
malfunction.
• Do not expose the camera to direct
sunlight. If reflected sunlight is
focused on a nearby object, it may
cause a fire. When you must place
the camera under direct sunlight,
attach the front lens cap.
