Pale&Light Color I/II
Creates an image that expresses warm light by scattering overall
light and slightly overexposing the image.
Light Tone
Creates a high-quality image by softening both shadows and
highlights.
Grainy Film I/II
Creates an image that expresses the roughness of black and
white images.
Pin Hole I/II/III
Creates an image that looks as if it was taken using an old or toy
camera by dimming the image perimeter.
Diorama I/II
Creates a miniature-like image by emphasizing saturation and
contrast, and blurring unfocused areas.
Cross Process I/II
Creates an image that expresses a surreal atmosphere. Cross
Process II creates an image that emphasizes magenta.
Gentle Sepia

that will produce the same exposure. Turn the rear dial to
program shift so that “s” appears next to the shooting mode.

Choosing aperture ( Aperture Priority mode)
A mode is a shooting mode where you choose the aperture and let the camera
automatically adjust to the appropriate shutter speed. Rotate the mode dial to A and
then use the rear dial to select an aperture value.
Larger apertures (lower F-numbers) decrease depth of fi eld (the area in front of or
behind the focus point that appears to be in focus), softening background details.
Smaller apertures (higher F-numbers) increase depth of fi eld.

TIME], or [LIVECOMP].
• The brightness of the image displayed in the monitor (or viewfi nder) will change with
changes in aperture and shutter speed. You can fi x the brightness of the display so that

• Even when you have set [Noise Reduct.], noise and/or light spots may still be noticeable
in the image displayed on the monitor and shot images under certain environmental
conditions (temperature etc.) and camera settings.
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. 111)
Shooting with long exposure time ( BULB/ LIVE TIME)
Use for photos such as fi reworks or night scenery. In M
mode, rotate the rear dial in the direction shown until
[BULB] or [LIVE TIME] is displayed in the monitor.
Bulb photography
(BULB):
The shutter remains open while the shutter button is pressed.
The exposure ends when the shutter button is released. The view
through the lens is not displayed while exposure is in progress.
Time photography
(LIVE 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. The view through the lens is displayed while
exposure is in progress.
• To display the view through the lens in the monitor during bulb photography, select an
option other than [Off] for [Live Bulb].
• Press the MENU button to choose the display interval for [Live Bulb] or [Live Time]
photography. Select [Off] to disable the display while exposure is in progress.
• To refresh the display while exposure is in progress, tap the monitor or press the shutter
button halfway.
• [BULB] and [LIVE TIME] are not available at some ISO sensitivity settings.
• To reduce blur caused by camera shake, fi x the camera securely to a tripod and use a
remote shutter release controlled via OI.Share (P. 122).
• During shooting, there are limits on the settings for the following functions.
Sequential shooting, self-timer shooting, time lapse shooting, image stabilizer, etc.
Live composite photography (dark and light fi eld composite)
Combine several exposures to create a photo that records light trails from stars or
fi reworks and other objects without changing the brightness of the background.
1 In M mode, set the shutter speed to [LIVECOMP].
• In M mode, rotate the rear dial in the direction shown
until [LIVECOMP] is displayed in the monitor.
2 Press the MENU button to display [Composite Settings] and press FG to
choose the exposure time for the individual exposures.
3 Press the shutter button to ready the camera.
• The camera will shoot a frame as a reference for noise reduction.
• The camera is ready when [Ready for composite shooting] is displayed in the monitor.
4 Press the shutter button halfway down to focus.
• If the focus indicator blinks, the camera is not in focus.
5 Press the shutter button all with way down to start live composite
photography.
• The combined image will be displayed in the monitor with each exposure.
6 Press the shutter button again to stop shooting.
• View the changing result in the monitor and press the shutter button to end shooting
once the desired result is achieved.
• The maximum length of composite shooting is 3 hours. However, the available
shooting time will vary depending on shooting conditions, and charging state of the
camera.
• There are limits on the available ISO sensitivity settings.
• To reduce blur caused by camera shake, fi x the camera securely to a tripod and use a

• 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 size of the movie fi le being recorded exceeds 4 GB, the fi le will be split
automatically. (Depending on shooting conditions, movies under 4 GB in size may be split
into multiple fi les.)
• When recording movies, use an SD card that supports an SD speed class of 10 or higher.
• 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.
• The R button cannot be used to record movies in the following instances:
While shutter the button is pressed halfway; during bulb, time, composite, sequential
or time lapse photography; or when e-portrait, handheld starlight, or backlight HDR
