This equipment must
not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
The available
scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with
using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low
power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low
levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used.
Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue),
exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known
adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found
any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological
effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional
research. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC
radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102
of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.
[ CAUTION
You are cautioned
that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this manual could
void your authority to operate this equipment.
[ Note:
This equipment has
been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
– Reorient
or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase
the separation between the equipment and receiver.
– Connect
the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
– Consult
the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
The supplied
interface cable must be used with the equipment in order to comply with the
limits for a digital device pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC Rules.
For Customers in Canada
This device
complies with RSS-310 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the condition
that this device does not cause harmful interference.
This
device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation
is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Under Industry
Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of
a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry
Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type
and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated
power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.

Below are examples
of the functions available when you use “PlayMemories Home”. To take advantage
of the various “PlayMemories Home” functions, connect to the Internet and
install the “Expanded Feature”.
• You
can import images shot with the camera to a computer and display them.

(Expanded Feature)
Number of still images and recordable time of
movies
The number of still
images and recordable time may vary depending on the shooting conditions and
the memory card.
x Still images
x Movies
The table below
shows the approximate maximum recording times. These are the total times for
all movie files. Continuous shooting is possible for approximately 29 minutes.
The maximum size of an MP4-format movie file is up to approximately 2 GB.
The number in ( )
is the minimum recordable time.
•
The recordable time of movies varies because the camera is equipped with VBR
(Variable Bit Rate), which automatically adjusts image quality depending on the
shooting scene. When you record a fast-moving subject, the image is clearer but
the recordable time is shorter because more memory is required for recording.
The recordable time also varies depending on the shooting conditions, the
subject or the image quality/size settings.
Notes on using the camera
Functions built into this camera
•
This manual describes each of the functions of TransferJet compatible/
incompatible devices, 1080 60i-compatible devices and 1080 50i-compatible
devices.
– To determine
whether your camera supports the GPS function, check the model name of your
camera.
GPS-compatible:
DSC-HX20V/HX30V
GPS-incompatible:
DSC-HX30
– To check if your
camera supports the TransferJet function, and whether it is a 1080
60i-compatible device or 1080 50i-compatible device, check for the following
marks on the bottom of the camera.
TransferJet-compatible
device:
(TransferJet)
1080 60i-compatible
device: 60i
1080 50i-compatible
device: 50i
• 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.
• While
aboard an airplane, set [Airplane Mode] to [On].
• 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-HX20V/HX30V 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.

manufactured using extremely high-precision technology so 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 screen. These dots
are a normal result of the manufacturing process, and do not affect the
recording.
Notes on the flash
• Do
not carry the camera by the flash unit, or use excessive strength on it.
• If
water, dust or sand get into the open flash unit, it may cause a malfunction.

Your camera and
battery may get hot due to continuous use, but it is not a malfunction.
On the overheat protection
Depending on the
camera and battery temperature, you may be unable to record movies or the power
may turn off automatically to protect the camera.
A
message will be displayed on the screen before the power turns off or you can
no longer record movies. In this case, leave the power off and wait until the
camera and battery temperature goes down. If you turn on the power without
letting the camera and battery cool enough, the power may turn off again or you
may be unable to record movies.
On charging the battery
