Displayed during recording

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.

• 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, time or composite photography/sequential shooting/Panorama/SCN mode (e-Portrait, Hand-Held Starlight, 3D)/time lapse shooting

 Taking photographs during movie recording (Movie+Photo Mode)

• Press the shutter button during movie recording to record one of the frames of the movie

as a photograph (mode1). To end movie recording, press the R button. The photograph and movie ﬁ les will be recorded separately to the memory card. The record mode of the photographs will be XN (16:9).

• There is also a way of recording a photograph of a higher quality (mode2). In mode2, the movie footage from before and after the photograph is recorded in separate ﬁ les. g [Movie+Photo Mode] (P. 92)

Cautions

• In mode2 and certain shooting modes, it is only possible to capture a single-frame as a picture during recording. Other shooting functions may also be limited.

• The autofocus and metering used in movie mode may differ from that used to take photographs.

• If the record mode for the movie is Motion JPEG (H or I), the camera is set to mode2.

Choosing aperture and shutter speed (M manual mode)

Mode M is a shooting mode where you choose both the aperture and shutter speed. They can be set even in bulb, time, and live composite photography, where the shutter remains open while the shutter button is pressed. Set the mode dial to M, rotate the control dial (P) to adjust the shutter speed, and after presssing the F button (F), rotate the control dial (P) to adjust the aperture.

• You can adjust the aperture value and shutter speed using the difference from a correct exposure (measured by the camera) as guidance.

• When the difference from the correct exposure is negative (underexposure) reduce the aperture value or slow the shutter speed.

• When the difference from the correct exposure is positive (overexposure), increase the aperture value or increase the shutter speed.

• Shutter speed can be set to values between 1/4000 and 60 seconds or to [BULB] or [LIVE TIME], or [LIVECOMP].

Cautions

• 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. 88)

Choosing long exposures (bulb/time photography)

Use for night landscapes and ﬁ reworks. In M mode, set the shutter speed to [BULB] or [LIVE TIME].

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.

• During bulb, time, or live composite photography, the screen brightness changes automatically. g “BULB/TIME Monitor” (P. 89)

• 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. 89) can be used to display the image exposure during bulb photography.

• In [Panning], camera movement is detected and the optimal shutter speed is controlled when moving the camera to track a moving subject. It is convenient for shooting moving subjects as if the background is ﬂ owing.

In [Panning], J is displayed during panning detection, and I is displayed when nothing is detected. When using a lens with an image stabilizer switch in [Panning], turn the image stabilizer switch off. Sufﬁ cient panning effects may not be obtained in bright conditions. Use a commercially available ND ﬁ lter to obtain effects more easily.

Using shooting options

$ Notes

• To cancel the activated self-timer, press G.

Cautions

• When you are using S, no conﬁ rmation image is displayed during shooting. The 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 selftimer, the photograph may be out of focus.

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].

Display the live control and select the aspect ratio item using FG.

Use HI to select an aspect ratio and press Q.

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.

Adding effects to a movie

You can create movies that take advantage of the effects available in still photography

mode. Set the mode dial to n to enable the settings.

Using shooting options

After pressing the F button, you can also set it by using FG. After pressing the F button, you can adjust the exposure by using HI.

Shutter speed affects how the subject appears. You can set the shutter speed by using the control dial (P).

After pressing the F button, you can also set it by using FG. After pressing the F button, you can adjust the exposure by using HI. The shutter speed can be set to values between 1/30 s and 1/4000 s.

You control both aperture and shutter speed. You can set the shutter speed by using the control dial (P). After pressing the F button, you can also set it by using FG. After pressing the F button, you can set the aperture by using the control dial (P)

or HI. The shutter speed can be set to values between 1/30 s and 1/4000 s. The sensitivity can only be set manually to values between ISO 200 and 3200.

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.

Cautions

• In [!/#!(Red-eye reduction ﬂ ash)], after the pre-ﬂ ashes, it takes about 1 second

before the shutter is released. Do not move the camera until shooting is complete.

• [!/#!(Red-eye reduction ﬂ ash)] may not work effectively under some shooting

conditions.

• When the ﬂ ash ﬁ res, the shutter speed is set to 1/250 sec. or slower. When shooting a subject against a bright background with the ﬁ ll-in ﬂ ash, the background may be overexposed.

• 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.

• You cannot shoot during HDR photography if there is not enough space on the camera’s memory card for the selected number of frames.

Four shots are taken, each with a different exposure, and the shots are combined into one HDR image inside the camera. HDR2 provides a more impressive image than HDR1. ISO sensitivity is ﬁ xed to 200. Also, the slowest available shutter speed is 1 second and the longest available exposure is 4 seconds.

HDR bracketing is performed. Select the number of images and the exposure difference. HDR imaging processing is not performed.
