Hint
About time code
Time code is a useful function for advanced image editing, which records hours/minutes/seconds/frames on
the image data.
When TV system is set to NTSC and the frame rate is 30p or 60p, gaps between the actual time and the
time code occur during extended periods of recording because there is a slight difference between the
number of frames per second of the time code and the actual frame frequency of NTSC image signal. Drop
frame corrects this gap to ensure that the time code matches the actual time. The first frame numbers (the
first 2 frame numbers for 30p, or the first 4 frame numbers for 60p) are removed every minute except in
every tenth minute. Time code without this correction is called non-drop frame.
About user bit
User bit is a function that can record information (8-digit hexadecimal numbers) such as date/time/scene
number. This function is useful for editing movies created using two or more cameras.

[68] Information Precautions
Handling
Do not use/store the remote control in the following places

In an extremely hot, cold or humid place
In places such as in a car parked in the sun, the remote control body may become deformed and
this may cause a malfunction.
Under direct sunlight or near a heater
The remote control body may become discolored or deformed, and this may cause a malfunction.
In a location subject to strong vibration
Near strong magnetic fields
Near a location that generates strong radio waves or emits radiation
In sandy or dusty places
Be careful not to let sand or dust get into the remote control. This may cause the remote control
to malfunction, and in some cases it may be irreparable.

On moisture condensation
If the remote control is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may condense
inside or outside the remote control. This moisture condensation may cause a malfunction to the
remote control.
If moisture condensation occurs

Turn off the remote control and wait about 1 hour for the moisture to evaporate.
Note on moisture condensation

Moisture may condense when you bring the remote control from a cold place into a warm place (or
vice versa) or when you use the remote control in a humid place, as shown below.
When you bring the remote control from a ski slope into a warm place
When you bring the remote control from an air conditioned car or room into a hot place outside
When you use the remote control after a squall or a shower
When you use the remote control in a hot and humid place such as a bath
How to avoid moisture condensation

When you bring the remote control from a cold place into a warm place, put the remote control in a
plastic bag and seal it tightly. Remove the bag when the air temperature inside the plastic bag has
reached the ambient temperature (after about 1 hour).
On carrying
Do not sit down in a chair or other place with the remote control in the back pocket of your
trousers or skirt, as this may cause malfunction or damage the remote control.

On operating temperatures
The remote control is designed for use in temperatures between –10°C and +40°C (14°F and
104°F). Shooting in extremely cold or hot places that exceed this range is not recommended.
The LCD screen and the cabinet may become warm during operation. This is normal.

Handling the LCD screen
On the LCD screen

Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun as it may be damaged. Be careful when placing the
remote control by a window.
If the remote control is used in a cold place, horizontal lines or a residual image may appear on
the LCD screen. This is not a malfunction. The LCD screen returns to normal when the remote
control warms up.
If a still picture or a fixed picture is displayed for a long time, an image may remain superimposed
on the LCD screen as a ghosting image.
Bright point and vanishing point on the LCD screen

The LCD panel fitted to the remote control is manufactured with high precision technology, but a very
small proportion of pixels may be “stuck”, either always off (black), always on (red, green, or blue),
or flashing. In addition, because of the physical characteristics of the liquid crystal display, such
“stuck” pixels may appear spontaneously over a long period of use. These problems are not a
malfunction.

Waterproof performance
Notes on the waterproof performance
The remote control is designed to be waterproof. Damage caused by misuse, abuse, or improper
maintenance is not covered by the limited warranty.
Do not subject the remote control to pressurized water, such as from a tap.
Do not use in hot springs.
Use the remote control in the recommended operating water temperature range of 0°C to 40°C
(32°F to 104°F).
The remote control has continuous waterproof performance at a water depth of 3 m (10 feet) for
30 minutes.
Notes before using the remote control under/near water

If dirt or sand gets on the terminal section of the remote control (where it connects to the
cradle), wipe the area clean with a soft cloth that does not leave behind any fibers.
If you have used the remote control near water or with wet or sandy hands, perform the
procedure described in “Maintenance of the remote control in water or at a waterfront” before
charging the remote control with the cradle.
Notes on using the remote control under/near water

Do not subject the remote control to shock such as by jumping into water.
The remote control sinks in water. Use the belt supplied with the remote control to prevent it
from sinking.
Bubbles may appear when the remote control is placed underwater. This is not a malfunction.
You cannot use the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth function of the remote control underwater.

[78] Information Care and storage

Care and storage
Wipe the surface

Clean the remote control surface with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water, then wipe the
surface with a dry cloth. Do not use any of the following as they may damage the finish or the casing:
Chemical products such as thinner, benzine, alcohol, disposable cloths, insect repellent, sunscreen
or insecticide, etc.
Do not touch the remote control with any of the above on your hand.
Do not leave the remote control in contact with rubber or vinyl for a long time.
Remove the battery pack when not in use for a long time
Remove the USB cable from the cradle when not in use for a long time and store it. If not, it may
cause a fire.

Maintenance of the LCD screen
The LCD screen surface is specially treated to reduce the reflection of light.
Incorrect maintenance may impair the performance of the LCD screen, so take care with respect to
the following:
Wipe the LCD screen gently with a soft cloth such as a cleaning cloth or glasses cloth.
Stubborn stains may be removed with a soft cloth such as a cleaning cloth or glasses cloth slightly
dampened with water.
Never use a solvent such as alcohol, benzene or thinner, or acid, alkaline or abrasive detergent,
or chemical cleaning cloth, as they will damage the LCD screen surface.

Maintenance of the remote control in water or at a
waterfront
Always clean the remote control with water within 60 minutes of use, and do not remove the belt
before cleaning is finished. Sand or water may get inside where it cannot be seen, and will
degrade water-proof performance if not rinsed out.
Allow the remote control to sit in pure water poured into a cleaning bowl for about 5 minutes.
Then, gently shake the remote control and press each button under the water to clean away any
salt, sand or other matter lodged around the buttons.
After rinsing, wipe away any drops of water with a soft cloth. Allow the remote control to dry
completely in a shady location with good ventilation. Do not blow dry with a hair dryer as there is
a risk of deformation and/or degraded waterproof performance.
Wipe away any drops of water or dust with a soft dry cloth.
Attach the remote control to the cradle when the remote control is completely dry.
The remote control body may become discolored if it comes into contact with sunscreen or suntan
oil. If the remote control comes into contact with sunscreen or suntan oil, quickly wipe it clean.
Do not allow the remote control to sit with salt water inside it or on its surface. This may lead to
corrosion or discoloration, and degradation of the waterproof performance.
[81] Information Battery pack

Battery pack
On charging the battery pack

Charge the battery pack before using the remote control.
We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10°C to 30°C
(50°F to 86°F) until the CHG (Charge) lamp turns off. The battery pack may not be effectively
charged in temperatures outside this range.
The CHG (Charge) lamp may blink during charging in the following situations:
Battery pack is damaged.
The temperature of the remote control is low. Put it in a warm place.
The temperature of the remote control is high. Put it in a cool place.
Effective use of the battery pack

Battery pack performance decreases at a low ambient temperature lower than 10°C (50°F). In
cold places, therefore, the operational time of the battery pack is shorter.
Remaining battery charge

If the battery pack runs out quickly even though the remaining charge indicator is high, fully
charge the remote control again. The remaining charge indicator will be then displayed correctly.
Note that it may not be displayed correctly in the following situations:
The remote control is used for a long time at high ambient temperature.
The remote control is left fully charged.
The remote control is used heavily.
On battery pack life

The battery pack has a limited life. Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated
use. If decreased usage time between charges becomes significant, the battery pack life has been
shortened. In this case, contact your Sony dealer.
The battery pack life varies according to how the battery pack is stored or used.
[82] Information Battery pack

To reduce the battery consumption of the remote
control
The following settings enable the battery consumption to be reduced when in use.
Auto monitor off while shooting:

Monitor brightness:
(Example)
If the Live-View display is displayed for 5 minutes and movies are recorded for 55 minutes after the
above settings are applied, you can use the remote control about two times longer than before.
When you operate FDR-X3000/HDR-AS300/HDR-AS50, set the Bluetooth remote controller power
setting of the camera to and turn off the power of the camera frequently from the
remote control while in shooting standby mode. This enables further reduction of battery
consumption on both the camera and remote control.
[83] Information
Disposal of the remote control
Remove the built-in battery pack before disposing of the remote control.
Do not remove the screws except when disposing of the remote control. We will refuse repairs or
replacement if we judge there to have been unwarranted disassembly.
The built-in battery pack of the remote control is recyclable. When disposing of the remote control,
remove the built-in battery pack and take it to your dealer.
1 Press the (on/standby) button to turn off the power of the remote control.
