If dust or debris adheres on the image
sensor
Turn off the camcorder and detach the lens.
Clean the image sensor and the surrounding
area using a blower (sold separately), and
then reattach the lens.

Notes
• Do not use a spray blower because it may scatter
water droplets inside the camcorder body.
• Do not put the tip of a blower into the cavity
beyond the mount, so that the tip of the blower
does not touch the image sensor.
• Hold the camcorder’s face downward to prevent
the dust from resettling in the camcorder.
• Do not apply a mechanical shock to the
camcorder during cleaning.
• If you cannot clean the image sensor by the
above procedure, consult your Sony dealer or
local authorized Sony service facility.
A-mount lenses
• You need a Mount Adaptor (sold
separately) to use A-mount lenses. For
details, refer to the operating manuals that
come with the Mount Adaptor.
• When an A-mount lens is attached, you
cannot use the auto focus and auto iris
functions. You may not be able to use
certain A-mount lenses. For the
compatibility of a particular A-mount
lens, visit the Sony website in your area,
or consult your Sony dealer or local
authorized Sony service facility.
To attach the lens hood
Align the red line of the lens hood to that of
the lens and mount the lens hood on the
lens. Turn the lens hood clockwise until the
red dot of the lens hood and the red line of
the lens align with a click.
When storing the lens, fit the lens hood
onto the lens backwards.
