Notes on using your camera
Notes on long-time recording
When you continue to shoot for a long
time, the temperature of the camera rises.
If the temperature reaches above a certain
level, the mark is indicated on the
screen and the camera is turned off
automatically. If the power is turned off,
leave the camera for 10 minutes or longer
to allow the temperature inside the
camera to decrease to a safe level.
Under high ambient temperatures, the
temperature of the camera rises quickly.
When the temperature of the camera
rises, the image quality may deteriorate.
It is recommended that you wait until the
temperature of the camera drops before
continuing to shoot.
The surface of the camera may get warm.
This is not a malfunction.
Notes on importing AVCHD View
movies* to a computer
When importing AVCHD View movies to
a computer, for Windows computers, use
the “PMB” software on the CD-ROM
(supplied).
* “AVCHD View movies” are movies that
were recorded in the [AVCHD 60i/60p]/
[AVCHD 50i/50p] mode of [File Format]
(page 113).
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
with the following devices.
–Other devices compatible with AVCHD
format that does not support High
Profile
–Devices incompatible with the AVCHD
format
This camera also uses MPEG-4 AVC/
H.264 Main Profile for MP4 format
recording. For this reason, movies
recorded in MP4 format with this camera
cannot be played on devices other than
those that support MPEG-4 AVC/H.264.
Discs recorded with HD image quality
(high definition) can be played back only
on AVCHD format-compatible devices.
DVD-based players or recorders cannot
play back HD image quality discs, as
they are incompatible with the AVCHD
format. Also, DVD-based players or
recorders may fail to eject HD image
quality discs.
1080 60p/50p movies can be played back
on compatible devices only.
On GPS-compatible devices (SLT-
A77V only)
