Autofocus function with A-mount lenses

Upgrading Mount Adaptor LA-EA1 (sold separately) makes autofocus (Single-shot AF)

possible when an A-mount SAM or SSM lens is attached to the camera. You can also use

autofocus (Single-shot AF) in movie recording mode by pressing the shutter button

halfway down.

For information on upgrading the Mount Adaptor, please visit the Sony Support web

site.

Notes

• You cannot use the AF illuminator when using an A-mount lens.

• The autofocus speed will be slower compared to when an E-mount lens is attached.

(When an A-mount lens is attached, the autofocus speed will be about 2 seconds to 7 seconds, when

shooting under Sony measurement condition. The speed may vary depending on the subject, ambient

light, etc.)

• The sound of the lens and the camera in operation may be recorded during movie recording. You can

avoid this by selecting [Menu] t [Setup] t [Movie Audio Rec] t [Off].

• It may take a long time or may be difficult for the camera to focus, depending on the lens used or the

subject.
