# Cautions
• When using a camera with a CMOS image sensor, moving objects may appear distorted
due to the rolling shutter phenomenon. This is a physical phenomenon whereby distortion
occurs in the fi lmed image when shooting a fast-moving subject or due to camera shaking.
In particular, this phenomenon becomes more noticeable when using a long focal length.
• If the camera is used for extended periods, the temperature of the image pickup device
will rise and noise and colored fog may appear in images. Turn off the camera for a short
time. Noise and colored fog may also appear in images recorded at high ISO sensitivity
settings. If the temperature rises further, the camera will turn off automatically.
• When using a Four Thirds system lens, the AF will not operate while recording movies.
Taking photographs during movie recording
• Press the shutter button during movie recording to pause movie recording and take a
photograph. Movie recording restarts after the photograph is taken. Press the R button
to end recording. Three fi les will be recorded to the memory card: the movie footage
preceding the photograph, the photograph itself, and the movie footage following the
photograph.
• Only one photograph can be taken at a time during movie recording; the self-timer and
fl ash cannot be used.
# Cautions
• Image size and quality for photographs are independent of movie frame size.
• The autofocus and metering used in movie mode may differ from that used to take
photographs.
• The R button cannot be used to record movies in the following instances:
Multiple exposure (still photography also ends.)/shutter button pressed halfway/during
bulb or time photography/sequential shooting/Panorama/SCN mode (e-Portrait, Hand-
Held Starlight, 3D)/time lapse shooting

• Shutter speed can be set to values between 1/8000 and 60 seconds or to [BULB] or
[LIVE TIME].
# Cautions
• Exposure compensation is not available in M mode.
Choosing when the exposure ends (bulb/time photography)
Use for night landscapes and fi reworks. Shutter speeds of [BULB] and [LIVE TIME] are
available in mode M.
Bulb photography (BULB): The shutter remains open while the shutter button is pressed.
The exposure ends when the shutter button is released.
Time photography (TIME):
The exposure begins when the shutter button is pressed all
the way down. To end the exposure, press the shutter button
all the way down again.
• When using BULB or TIME, screen brightness is varied automatically.
• When using [LIVE TIME], the progress of the exposure will be displayed in the monitor
during shooting. The display can also be refreshed by pressing the shutter button halfway.
• [Live BULB] (P. 94) can be used to display the image exposure during bulb photography.
# Cautions
• ISO sensitivity can be set to a value up to ISO 1600 for live bulb and live time
photography.
• To reduce camera blur during long exposures, mount the camera on a tripod and use a
remote cable (P. 133).
• The following features are not available during long exposures:
Sequential shooting/self-timer shooting/AE bracket shooting/image stabilizer/
fl ash bracketing/multiple exposure*
* An option other than [Off] is selected for [Live BULB] or [Live TIME] (P. 94).
• Even when [Noise Reduct.] is in use, noise may be noticeable in the image displayed on
the monitor during shooting.
Noise in images
While shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on screen. These phenomena
occur when the temperature rises in the image pickup device or image pickup device
internal drive circuit, causing current to be generated in those sections of the image pickup
device that are not normally exposed to light. This can also occur when shooting with a
high ISO setting in a high-temperature environment. To reduce this noise, the camera
activates the noise reduction function. g [Noise Reduct.] (P. 93)
Using movie mode (n)
Movie mode (n) can be used to fi lm movies with special effects.
You can create movies that take advantage of the effects available in still photography
mode. Use live control to select the settings. g “Adding effects to a movie” (P. 69)
You can also apply an after-image effect or zoom in on an area of the image during
movie recording.
Adding effects to a movie [Movie Effect]
1 Rotate the mode dial to n.

# Cautions
• The frame rate will drop slightly during recording.
• The 2 effects cannot be applied simultaneously.
• Use a memory card with an SD speed class of 6 or better. Movie recording may end
unexpectedly if a slower card is used.
• Taking a photograph during movie recording cancels the effect; the effect does not appear
in the photograph.
• [e-Portrait], [Diorama] and [Color Creator] cannot be used at the same time as Art Fade.
• Movie Tele-converter cannot be used when [Picture Mode] is set to [ART].
• The sound of touch operations and button operations may be recorded.

# Cautions
• Face priority applies only to the fi rst shot in each sequence taken during sequential
shooting.
• Depending on the subject and the art fi lter setting, the camera may not be able to correctly
detect the face.
• When set to [p (Digital ESP metering)], metering is performed with priority given to
faces.
• When using a Four Thirds system lens, even if a face is detected, if it is outside the AF
area, the face priority AF will not operate.
$ Notes
• Face priority is also available in [MF]. Faces detected by the camera are indicated by
white frames.
Zoom frame AF/zoom AF
You can zoom in on a portion of the frame when adjusting focus. Choosing a high
zoom ratio allows you to use autofocus to focus on a smaller area than is normally
covered by the AF target. You can also position the focus target more precisely.

image is displayed again after shooting ends. When you are using T, the image shot
immediately before is displayed.
• The speed of sequential shooting varies depending on the lens you are using and the
focus of the zoom lens.
• During sequential shooting, if the battery check blinks due to low battery, the camera
stops shooting and starts saving the pictures you have taken on the card. The camera
may not save all of the pictures depending on how much battery power remains.
• Fix the camera securely on a tripod for self-timer shooting.
• If you stand in front of the camera to press the shutter button halfway when using the self-
timer, the photograph may be out of focus.
Adjusting color (white balance)
White balance (WB) ensures that white objects in images recorded by the camera
appear white. [AUTO] is suitable in most circumstances, but other values can be
selected according to the light source when [AUTO] fails to produce the desired results
or you wish to introduce a deliberate color cast into your images.

After pressing the INFO button, use HI

One-touch white balance
Measure white balance by framing a piece of paper or other white object under the lighting
that will be used in the fi nal photograph. This is useful when shooting a subject under natural
light, as well as under various light sources with different color temperatures.
1 Prepare a neutral-colored paper, such as white or gray.
• Frame the object so that it fi lls the display and no shadows fall it.
2 Shoot while pressing the Y (one-touch white balance) button.
• You can also shoot after selecting P, Q, W, or X from the white balance
options screen and then pressing INFO.
3 Select from P, Q, W, or X and register.
• If it is already selected in the white balance menu, select [Yes] and press the Q
button.
• The new value is saved as a preset white balance option.
• The new value is stored until one-touch white balance is measured again. Turning the
power off does not erase the data.
% Tips
• If the subject is too bright or too dark or visibly tinted, the message [WB NG Retry] will be
displayed and no value will be recorded. Correct the problem and repeat the process from
Step 1.
ISO sensitivity
Increasing ISO sensitivity increases noise (graininess) but allows photographs to be
taken when lighting is poor. The setting recommended in most situations is [AUTO],
which starts at ISO 200 — a value that balances noise and dynamic range — and then
adjusts ISO sensitivity according to shooting conditions.
1 Set the lever to position 2, and turn the front dial to select items.
Lever
Front dial
AUTO
The sensitivity is set automatically according to the shooting
conditions.
LOW, 200 – 25600
Sensitivity is set to the selected value.
Controlling color (Color Creator)
You can adjust the color of the subject while looking through the viewfi nder. Select this
function with the multi-function button to use it.
Set the multi-function button to c (Color Creator) in advance (P. 23).
1 While looking through the viewfi nder, press the Fn2 button.
• An options screen will be displayed in the viewfi nder.
Fn2 button
2 Set hue using the front dial and saturation using the rear dial.
• The settings are stored under picture mode.
# Cautions
• The white balance is fi xed to AUTO.
• When the image quality mode is set to [RAW], the image is recorded in RAW+JPEG.
The camera shoots several images and automatically combines them into an HDR
image. You can also shoot several images and perform HDR imaging on a computer
(HDR bracketing photography).

3 Shoot.
• When you press the shutter button, the camera automatically shoots the set number
of images.
• While shooting, a simply composed image will be displayed on the monitor or in the
viewfi nder.
# Cautions
• In the case of HDR1 and HDR2, exposure compensation is not available.
• If you shoot with a slower shutter speed, there may be more noticeable noise.
• Attach the camera to a tripod or other stabilizing item and then shoot.
• The image displayed on the monitor or in the viewfi nder while shooting will differ from the
HDR-processed image.
• In the case of HDR1 and HDR2, the HDR-processed image will be saved as a JPEG fi le.
When the image quality mode is set to [RAW], the image is recorded in RAW+JPEG. The
only image recorded in RAW is the image with suitable exposure.
• If set to HDR1/HDR2, the picture mode is fi xed to [Natural] and the color setting is fi xed to
[sRGB]. [Full-time AF] does not operate.
• Flash photography, bracketing, multiple exposure and time lapse shooting cannot be used
at the same time as HDR photography.

# Cautions
• The image stabilizer cannot correct excessive camera shake or camera shake that occurs
when the shutter speed is set to the slowest speed. In these cases, it is recommended
that you use a tripod.
• When using a tripod, set [Image Stabilizer] to [OFF].
• When using a lens with an image stabilization function switch, priority is given to the lens
side setting.
• When priority is being given to the lens side image stabilization and the camera side is set
to [S-IS-AUTO], [S-IS1] is used instead of [S-IS-AUTO].
• You may notice an operating sound or vibration when the image stabilizer is activated.

Optimal aperture is set automatically according to the brightness of the subject.
A
Depiction of background is changed by setting the aperture. Use the rear dial to
adjust the aperture.
S
Shutter speed affects how the subject appears. Use the rear dial to adjust the
shutter speed. Shutter speed can be set to values between 1/30 s and 1/4000 s.

You control both aperture and shutter speed. Use the front dial to choose the
aperture, the rear dial to select the shutter speed from values between 1/30 s and
1/4000 s. Sensitivity can be set manually to values between ISO 200 and 3200;
auto ISO sensitivity control is not available.
# Cautions
• When recording a movie, you cannot change the settings for exposure compensation,
aperture value, and shutter speed.
• If [Image Stabilizer] is activated while recording a movie, the recorded image is enlarged
slightly.
• Stabilization is not possible when the camera shake is excessive.
• When the inside of the camera becomes hot, shooting is automatically stopped to protect
the camera.
• With some art fi lters, [C-AF] operation is limited.
• Cards with an SD speed class of 6 or above are recommended for movie recording.
Setting the image aspect
You can change the aspect ratio (horizontal-to-vertical ratio) when taking pictures.
Depending on your preference, you can set the aspect ratio to [4:3] (standard), [16:9],
[3:2], [1:1], or [3:4].
1 Press the Q button and select an aspect ratio.
2 Select a setting using the front dial and press the Q button.
# Cautions
• JPEG images are cropped to the selected aspect ratio; RAW images, however, are not
cropped but are instead saved with information on the selected aspect ratio.
• When RAW images are played back, the selected aspect ratio is shown by a frame.
