Troubleshooting

Autofocus seems slow or missing subjects

Ensure the 'Focus Range Limiter' is set correctly for your subject distance and check that the AF mode is set to 'Continuous' for moving subjects.

Camera won't connect to Wi-Fi

Verify that Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone and try resetting the network connection settings in the camera's setup menu.

  • High-speed 24fps burst mode with buffer for fast action

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To start, insert the NP-FW50 battery and a compatible SD, SDHC, or SDXC card into the designated slots. Ensure the date and time are set via the menu system. For connectivity, the camera features built-in Wi-Fi, NFC, and Bluetooth, allowing for seamless remote control via smartphones or tablets using the dedicated Sony app. Care should involve using a blower to remove dust from the lens surface and a microfiber cloth for the LCD. Despite the weather-resistant construction, avoid submerging the camera in water or exposing it to heavy rain for prolonged periods. Use the included micro-USB cable for file transfers or charging if an external charger is unavailable.
