HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Please read this section before using the camera.

Study and familiarize yourself with the functions of your camera before

using it. No compensation or guarantee is provided for unsatisfactory

pictures or loss of profit, etc.

Carry spare batteries when you use the camera in a cold environment,

on a field trip, or when taking many pictures at one time.

ENVIRONMENT

 Your camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to

physical shock.

 This camera benefits from a dust and splash proof construction. Although

this construction enables the lens to be used under light rain, it is not the

same as being water proof. Please pay attention to prevent a large

amount of water from splashing on the camera, especially when using it

by a waterside. It is often impractical to repair the internal mechanism

and electric components if damaged by water.

 Do not leave the camera in a dusty, hot, or highly humid environment for

a long period of time.

 If the camera is moved from a cold place to a warm room, water droplets

may appear on the camera. Please keep the camera in a bag until it is

acclimatized to the ambient room temperature.

12

 For movie shooting, an SD card may not be available depending on the

bit rate. For details on compatible media, refer to "BIT RATE AND

COMPATIBLE MEDIA" (P.78 ).

 SD cards have a write protection switch, which prevents the card from

being accidentally written to or formatted. Moving the switch to the

‘LOCK’ position prevents accidental erasure of files.

 Do not leave the card in direct sunlight or near a heating device.

 Avoid storing cards in environments of high temperature and humidity or

where static electricity or electromagnetic fields may be generated.

 For proper usage of the card, please refer to their instruction manuals.

 The “Delete” feature of the Camera and PC may not delete the data in the

memory card completely. Some data might still remain. If you wish to

remove all data from card securely, please use third party software.

ABOUT THE LENSES

This camera -uses the L Mount. Your camera can use interchangeable

lenses for L-Mount.

 This camera - has a 35mm full frame image sensor. In order to take full

advantage of the capability of the image sensor, it is recommended that

L-Mount lenses are used for full size format. You can use the lenses for

the APS-C format, however the image sensor recording area will be

restricted.

 Sigma MC-21 Mount Converter (optional) allows you to use Sigma SA

mount interchangeable lenses or Sigma interchangeable lenses for

Canon EF mount.

 Depending on the release date of the lens, updating the lens firmware

may be required. It may also be necessary to update the camera

firmware. Please check our website for the latest information about the

corresponding lens.

ELECTRONIC SHUTTER

This product is not equipped with a mechanical shutter mechanism. It

provides an electronic shutter that electronically controls the image sensor

to adjust the exposure time.

The electronic shutter enables the high-speed shutter speed and

high-speed continuous shooting with no noise or vibration. However, the

electronic shutter has disadvantages, so be sure to note the following

points.

 Uneven exposure can easily occur under a flickering light source such as

a fluorescent light, so use the slower shutter speed.

 The flash sync. speed 0 is set to 1/15 sec. or less (1/1 sec. or less when

the image quality is set to DNG and DNG + JPEG and the memory bit

count is 14 bits). When shooting with the flash using manual exposure,

set the shutter speed to 1/15 sec. or less (1/10 sec. or less).

 When shooting a fast-moving subject, distortion may occur.
