Preparation/Basic
Care of the camera

To avoid damaging your camera and to experience the maximum enjoyment you
should exercise the following precautions.
• The lens, monitor and the camera body can sustain damage if the camera body is dropped or
subjected to excessive temperature, moisture, water or dust.
• The monitor can be damaged if excessive pressure is applied to the screen surface, during
actual use or while cleaning.
∫ Splash Proof
Splash Proof is a term used to describe an extra level of protection this camera offers
against exposure to a minimal amount of moisture, water or dust. Splash Proof does not
guarantee that damage will not occur if this camera is subjected to direct contact with
water.
In order to minimize the possibility of damage please be sure the following precautions are taken:
– The Splash Proof feature works in conjunction with the H-HS12035 and H-HS35100 lenses
that were specifically designed to support this feature.
– Make sure that all doors are securely closed.
– Make sure that you are in a dry and secure place when changing the battery, lens or memory
card. After changing, make sure their protective doors are securely closed.
– If this camera is exposed to water, sand or any other foreign material clean it as soon as possible,
taking the necessary precautions that the foreign substance does not get inside the camera.
– Under no circumstances should you touch or place any foreign objects within the camera or
in close proximity of the camera’s image sensor.
If sand, dust, or liquids such as water droplets adhere to the monitor, wipe them off with a dry soft cloth.
– Not doing so may cause the monitor to respond incorrectly to touch operations.
– If the monitor is closed when such liquids are present, malfunction may result.
∫ Condensation
• Condensation may occur on the lens, monitor or in the viewfinder when the room temperature or humidity
changes rapidly. This may cause the image to temporarily become hazy. If this occurs, turn the camera off
and allow the camera to sit in a temperature stable environment for several minutes. It will clear by itself.
• If you know that you will be moving between areas where there will be a large change in
temperature or humidity, you can help prevent condensation forming on the camera by placing
the camera in a large plastic zipper bag, so condensation will form on the bag, not the camera.
Allow the temperature to stabilize before removing the camera from the bag.
About the firmware of your interchangeable lens

For smoother recording, we recommend updating the firmware of the interchangeable lens
to the latest version.
• To view the latest information on the firmware or to download the firmware, visit the
support site below:

• The battery is exhausted.
> Charge the battery.
• If you leave the camera on, the battery will be exhausted.
> Turn the camera off frequently by using the [Economy] etc.
The battery becomes flat too quickly.

• Is the drive mode set to [ ] ([4K Pre-Burst])? When [ ] ([4K Pre-Burst]) is selected, the

protect itself. Wait until the camera cools down.
The subject is not focused properly.

• The subject is beyond the focus range of the camera. (P20)
• There is camera shake (jitter) or the subject is moving slightly.
• Is [Focus/Release Priority] in the [Custom] menu set to [RELEASE]?
• Is [Shutter AF] in the [Custom] menu set to [OFF]?
• Is the AF Lock applied incorrectly?
(ENG) SQT0775 59

LED lighting fixture.
• This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera’s pickup sensors.
This is not a malfunction.
• Are you taking pictures with the electronic shutter?
> When using the electronic shutter, lowering the shutter speed may reduce the effect of the
horizontal stripes.
• If noticeable flicker or striping is seen under lighting such as a fluorescent or LED lighting fixture
