Using software Installing the following software to your computer will make your camera experience more convenient. • PlayMemories Home™: Imports images to your computer and lets you use them in different ways (page 36). • Image Data Converter: Displays RAW images and processes them. • Remote Camera Control: Controls a camera connected to your computer via a USB cable. You can download and install this software to your computer from the following URLs.
Importing images to your computer and using them (PlayMemories Home) The software PlayMemories Home allows you to import still images and movies to your computer and use them. PlayMemories Home is required for importing XAVC S movies and AVCHD movies to your computer. http://www.sony.
Adding functions to the camera You can add the desired functions to your camera by connecting to the application download website (PlayMemories Camera Apps™) via the Internet. http://www.sony.net/pmca/ • After installing an application, you can call up the application by touching an NFC-enabled Android smartphone to the N mark on the camera, using the [One-touch(NFC)] function.
x Movies The table below shows the approximate total recording times using a memory card formatted with this camera. The recording time for XAVC S and AVCHD movies is the recording time when shooting with [Dual Video REC] set to [Off].
• Continuous shooting is possible for approximately 29 minutes (a product specification limit). However, the duration of time available for continuous movie recording varies under the following conditions.
Notes on using the camera Functions built into this camera • 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. • This camera is compatible with 4K 30p/4K 25p/4K 24p recording. Movies can be recorded in a higher resolution than HD format.
Notes on the monitor, electronic viewfinder and lens • The monitor and electronic viewfinder are manufactured using extremely highprecision technology, and over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, some tiny black and/or bright dots (white, red, blue or green) may appear on the monitor and electronic viewfinder. These dots are a normal result of the manufacturing process, and do not affect the recording. • Do not hold the camera by the monitor.
On charging the battery If you charge a battery that has not been used for a long time, you may be unable to charge it to the proper capacity. This is due to the battery characteristics. Charge the battery again. Warning on copyright • Television programs, films, videotapes, and other materials may be copyrighted.
