Notes on using your camera Along with this section, also see “Precautions” in the Help Guide. Notes on handling the product

• This camera is designed to be dust resistant and splash resistant, but it is not guaranteed to completely prevent the ingress of dust or water droplets. • Do not leave the lens or the viewfinder exposed to a strong light source such as sunlight. Because of the lens’s condensing function, doing so may cause smoke, fire, or a malfunction inside the camera body or the lens. If you have to leave the camera exposed to a light source such as sunlight, attach the lens cap to the lens. • When you shoot with backlighting, keep the sun sufficiently far away from the angle of view. Otherwise, the sunlight may focus inside the camera and cause smoke or fire. Even if the sun is slightly away from the angle of view, it may still cause smoke or fire. • Do not directly expose the lens to beams such as laser beams. That may damage the image sensor and cause the camera to malfunction. • Do not look at sunlight or a strong light source through the lens when it is detached. This may result in unrecoverable damage to the eyes. • Do not leave the camera, the supplied accessories, or memory cards within the reach of infants. They may be accidentally swallowed. If this occurs, consult a doctor immediately. Notes on the monitor and electronic viewfinder
• The monitor and electronic viewfinder are manufactured using extremely high-precision technology, and over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, there may be some small black dots and/or bright dots (white, red, blue or green in color) that constantly appear on the monitor and electronic viewfinder. These dots are normal due to the manufacturing process and do not affect the images in any way. • When shooting with the viewfinder, you may experience symptoms such as eyestrain, fatigue, travel sickness, or nausea. We recommend that you take a break at regular intervals when you are shooting with the viewfinder. • If the monitor or electronic viewfinder is damaged, stop using the camera immediately. The damaged parts may harm your hands, face, etc. Notes on continuous shooting During continuous shooting, the monitor or viewfinder may flash between the shooting screen and a black screen. If you keep watching the screen in this situation, you may experience uncomfortable symptoms such as feeling of unwellness. If you experience uncomfortable symptoms, stop using the camera, and consult your doctor as necessary.ILCE-7RM4 5-007-325-41(2)

• The above estimates for battery life and number of recordable images apply when the battery pack has been fully charged. The battery life and number of images may decrease depending on the conditions of use.

• The battery life and number of recordable images are estimates based on shooting with the default settings under the following conditions: – Using the battery pack at an ambient temperature of 25°C (77°F). – Using a Sony SDXC memory card(U3) (sold separately) – Using a lens FE 28-70 mm F3.5-5.6 OSS (sold separately)

• The numbers for “Shooting (still images)” are based on the CIPA standard and shooting under the following conditions: (CIPA: Camera & Imaging Products Association) – One picture is taken every 30seconds. – The power is turned on and off once every ten times.

• The number of minutes for movie shooting is based on the CIPA standard and shooting under the following conditions: – The image quality is set to XAVC S HD 60p 50M / 50p 50M. – Actual shooting (movies): Battery life based on repeated shooting, zooming, shooting stand-by, turning on/off, etc. – Continuous shooting (movies): No operations other than starting and ending shooting are performed.ILCE-7RM4 5-007-325-41(2)

Note

• When “0” (the number of recordable images) flashes in orange, the memory card is full. Replace the memory card with another one, or delete images from the current memory card.

• When “NO CARD” flashes in orange, it means no memory card has been inserted. Insert a memory card. The number of images that can be recorded on a memory card The following table shows the approximate number of images that can be recorded on a memory card formatted with this camera. The values are defined using Sony standard memory cards for testing. The values may vary depending on the shooting conditions and the type of memory card used.

Aspect Ratio]: [3:2]*

RAW (Compressed RAW)

RAW (Uncompressed RAW)

When [ Aspect Ratio] is set to other than [3:2], you can record more images than the numbers shown in the table (except when [RAW] is selected).

[ JPEG Quality] when [RAW & JPEG] is selected: [Fine] Note

• Even if the number of recordable images is higher than 9999 images, “9999” will appear.

Recordable movie times The table below shows the approximate total recording times using a memory card formatted with this camera. The values may vary depending on the shooting conditions and the type of memory card used. The recording times for when [ File Format] is set to [XAVC S 4K] and [XAVC S HD] are recording times when shooting with [ Proxy Recording] set to [Off]. (h (hour), min (minute)) File Format Record Setting 8 GB 32 GB 64 GB 256 GB XAVC S 4K 30p 100M/ 25p 100M 8min 35min 1h 15min 5h 5min 30p 60M/ 25p 60M 10min 55min 2h 8h 5min 24p 100M* 8min 35min 1h 15min 5h 5min 24p 60M* 10min 55min 2h 8h 5min

• Only when [NTSC/PAL Selector] is set to NTSCILCE-7RM4 5-007-325-41(2)

• The duration of time available for movie recording varies depending on the file format/recording settings for movies, memory card, ambient temperature, Wi-Fi network environment, condition of the camera before you start recording, and condition of the charging of the battery. The maximum continuous recording time for a single movie shooting session is approximately 13 hours (a product specification limit). Note

• 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.

• The times shown are recordable times using a Sony memory card. Notes on continuous movie recording

• High-quality movie recording and high-speed continuous shooting require large amounts of power. Therefore, if you continue to shoot, the temperature inside the camera will rise, especially that of the image sensor. In such cases, the camera will turn off automatically because the surface of the camera is heated to a high temperature or the high temperature affects the quality of the images or the internal mechanism of the camera.

• The duration of time available for continuous movie recording when the camera records with the default settings after the power has been turned off for a while is as follows. The values indicate the continuous time from when the camera starts recording until the camera stops recording. Ambient temperature Continuous recording time for movies (HD) Continuous recording time for movies (4K) 20°C (68°F) Approx. 60min. Approx. 60min. 30°C (86°F) Approx. 60min. Approx. 30min. 40°C (104°F) Approx. 60min. Approx. 10min. [Auto Power OFF Temp.]: [Standard] HD: XAVC S HD (60p 50M/50p 50M, when the camera is not connected via Wi-Fi) 4K: XAVC S 4K (24p 60M/25p 60M, when the camera is not connected via Wi-Fi)ILCE-7RM4 5-007-325-41(2)

• The duration of time available for movie recording varies with the temperature, file format/record setting for movies, Wi-Fi network environment, or condition of the camera before you start recording. If you frequently recompose or shoot images after the power is turned on, the temperature inside the camera will rise and the recording time available will be shorter.

• If the icon appears, the temperature of the camera has risen.

• If the camera stops movie recording due to a high temperature, leave it for some time with the power turned off. Start recording after the temperature inside the camera drops fully.

• If you observe the following points, you will be able to record movies for longer periods of time. – Keep the camera out of direct sunlight. – Turn the camera off when it is not being used.

• When [ File Format] is set to [AVCHD], the file size of movies is limited to approx. 2GB. If the movie file size reaches approx. 2GB during recording, a new movie file will be created automatically.ILCE-7RM4 5-007-325-41(2)
