Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX9, User Manual

Page: 270 / 289

Your camera is designed for use under the temperatures between 0°C and 40°C (32°F and
104°F). Shooting in extremely cold or hot places that exceed this range is not recommended.
On moisture condensation
If the camera is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may condense
inside or outside the camera. This moisture condensation may cause a malfunction of the
camera.
If moisture condensation occurs, turn off the camera and wait about an hour for the moisture
to evaporate. Note that if you attempt to shoot with moisture remaining inside the lens, you
will be unable to record clear images.

Do not watch 3D images shot with this camera for extended periods of time on 3D-compatible
monitors.
When you view 3D images shot with this camera on a 3D-compatible monitor, you may
experience discomfort in the form of eye strain, fatigue, or nausea. To prevent these
symptoms, we recommend that you take regular breaks.
However, you need to determine for yourself the length and frequency of breaks you require,
as they vary according to the individual. If you experience any type of discomfort, stop viewing
the 3D images until you feel better, and consult a physician as necessary. Also refer to the
operating instructions supplied with the device or software you have connected or are using
with this camera. Note that a child’s eyesight is still at the development stage (particularly
children below the age of 6). Consult a pediatrician or ophthalmologist before letting your
child view 3D images, and make sure he/she observes the above precautions when viewing
such images.
What is 1080 60p/50p?
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.
On image data compatibility
The camera conforms with DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) universal standard
established by JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association).
Sony does not guarantee that the camera will play back images recorded or edited with other
equipment, or that other equipment will play back images recorded with the camera.
Notes when playing movies on other devices
This camera uses MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 High Profile for AVCHD format recording. Movies
recorded in AVCHD format with this camera cannot be played by the following devices.
