    1. Choose and confirm a password. Select a secret question and fill out a reply.
      If you forget your password, you will be asked to confirm your date of birth.
      In case you have set up a secret question in the past, you can still choose to use it to retrieve your password. 
       
    2. Set up your email communication preferences. 
       
    3. You will receive an e-mail with a link to activate your account. 
      To complete the registration, open the email and click on the link. The activation link will expire in 72 hours. 
      If the link expires, you will need to request another activation link. Here's an example of the e-mail:

    2. Fill out your product details. You can use the links available if you're unsure what your model name or serial number is. 

      Tips:
      • The search function works with either the model name or marketed name of your product
      •  A marketed name can differ from the official product name (e.g. Alpha 7 = ILCE-7)
      • Entering your purchase date will help you remember your warranty period 
      • Once you've entered your correct product name, you will be prompted to provide the serial number, which is optional.

    E.g. searching ‘a6000’ or ‘E-mount’:
