Information for Your Safety
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
When using your photographic equipment, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
• Read and understand all instructions before using.
• Close supervision is necessary when any fl ash is used by or near children. Do not leave fl ash unattended while in use.
• Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts.
• Do not operate if the fl ash has been dropped or damaged - until it has been examined by
qualifi ed service personnel.
• Let fl ash cool completely before putting away.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse this fl ash in water or other liquids.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this fl ash, but take it to qualifi ed
service personnel when service or repair work is required. Incorrect reassembly can
cause electric shock when the fl ash is used subsequently.
• The use of an accessory attachment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause a
risk of fi re, electric shock, or injury to persons.

# 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.
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

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 [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. In addition, [Live BULB] can be used to display the image exposure during
bulb photography. g “Using the custom menus” (P. 72)
# 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. 124).
• 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].
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. 76)
