• This camera is compatible with 1080 60p or 50p-format movies. 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.

• In an airplane, make sure to turn off the camera following cabin announcements.

• 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.

On GPS-compatible devices (DSC-HX100V only)

• Use GPS in accordance with regulations of countries and regions where you use it.

• If you do not record the direction or location information, set [GPS setting] to

[Off].

On use and care

Avoid rough handling, disassembling, modifying, physical shock, or impact such as

hammering, dropping, or stepping on the product. Be particularly careful of the lens.
