Charging with a personally assembled
computer, with a converted computer, or
through a USB hub are not guaranteed.
The camcorder may not function correctly
depending on the USB device which is used
with the computer.
Moisture condensation
If your camcorder is brought directly from
a cold place to a warm place, moisture may
condense inside your camcorder. This may
cause a malfunction to your camcorder.
If moisture condensation has occurred
Leave your camcorder for about 1 hour without
turning it on.
Note on moisture condensation
Moisture may condense when you bring your
camcorder from a cold place into a warm place
(or vice versa) or when you use your camcorder
in a humid place as follows:
You bring your camcorder from a ski slope
into a place warmed up by a heating device.
You bring your camcorder from an air
conditioned car or room into a hot place
outside.
You use your camcorder after a squall or a
rain.
You use your camcorder in a hot and humid
place.
How to prevent moisture condensation
When you bring your camcorder from a cold
place into a warm place, put your camcorder in
a plastic bag and seal it tightly. Remove the bag
when the air temperature inside the plastic bag
has reached the surrounding temperature (after
about 1 hour).
When the camcorder is connected to
a computer or accessories
Do not try to format the recording media of the
camcorder using a computer. If you do so, your
camcorder may not operate correctly.
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
When the camcorder is connected to other
devices through a USB connection and the
power of the camcorder is turned on, do not
close the LCD panel. The image data that has
been recorded may be lost.
Notes on optional accessories
We recommend using genuine Sony accessories.
Genuine Sony accessories may not be available
in some countries/regions.
Active Interface Shoe
The Active Interface Shoe supplies power to
accessories such as a video light, a flash, or a
microphone (sold separately). The accessory
can be turned on or off as you open or close
the LCD screen, and the viewfinder (HDR-
CX730E/CX740VE/CX760E/CX760VE/
PJ740VE/PJ760E/PJ760VE) of your camcorder.
Refer to the operating instructions supplied
with your accessory for details.
The Active Interface Shoe has a safety device
for fixing the installed accessory securely. To
connect an accessory, press down and push it to
the end, and then tighten the screw. To remove
an accessory, loosen the screw, and then press
down and pull out the accessory.
When you are recording movies with an
external flash (sold separately) connected to
the accessory shoe, turn off the power of the
external flash to prevent charging noise being
recorded.
You cannot use an external flash (sold
separately) and the built-in flash at the same
time.
When an external microphone (sold separately)
is connected, it takes precedence over the built-
in microphone.
