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 flash is used by or near children. Do not leave flash unattended while in use.

•Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts.

•Do not operate if the flash has been dropped or damaged - until it has been examined by qualified service personnel.

•Let flash cool completely before putting away.

•To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse this flash in water or other liquids.

•To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this flash, but take it to qualified service personnel when service or repair work is required. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the flash is used subsequently.

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. Set the mode dial to A to set the aperture value. Larger apertures (lower F-numbers) decrease depth of field (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 field.

Choosing shutter speed (Shutter Priority mode)

S mode is a shooting mode where you choose the shutter speed and let the camera automatically adjust to the appropriate aperture value. Set the mode dial to S to set the shutter speed. A fast shutter speed can freeze a fast action scene without any blur. A slow shutter speed will blur a fast action scene. This blurring will give the impression of dynamic motion.

Difference between exposure setting and exposure with exposure compensation

•The exposure determined by the aperture value and shutter speed you have set and the difference from the suitable exposure measured by the camera are displayed on the monitor.

•Shutter speed can be set to values between 1/8000 and 60 seconds or to [BULB], [LIVE TIME], or [LIVECOMP].

•If you change the aperture value and shutter speed, the brightness of the display on the monitor (or viewfinder) will not change. To display the image as it is going to be shot, set [Live View Boost] (P. 115) in Custom Menu.

•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. 118)

Shooting with long exposure time (BULB/LIVE TIME)

You can use the BULB/LIVE TIME function for shooting scenes that require long exposure such as night landscapes and fireworks. In M mode, set the shutter speed to [BULB] or [LIVE TIME].

Bulb photography	The shutter remains open while the shutter button is pressed.
(BULB):	The exposure ends when the shutter button is released.
Time photography	The exposure begins when the shutter button is pressed all the
(LIVE TIME):	way down. To end the exposure, press the shutter button all the
	way down again.

•During bulb or time photography, the screen brightness changes automatically. g[Bulb/ Time Monitor] (P. 118)

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

•[BULB] and [LIVE TIME] are not available at some ISO sensitivity settings.

•To reduce camera blur, mount the camera on a sturdy tripod and use a remote cable (P. 155).

•During shooting, there are limits on the settings for the following functions.

Sequential shooting, self-timer shooting, time lapse shooting, AE bracket shooting, image stabilizer, flash bracketing, multiple exposure*, etc.

*When an option other than [Off] is selected for [Live Bulb] or [Live Time] (P. 118)

•[Image Stabilizer] (P. 53) turns off automatically.

Live composite photography (dark and light field composite)

You can record a composite image from multiple shots while observing changes in bright flashes of light, such as fireworks and stars, without changing the brightness of the background.

1Set an exposure time to be the reference in [Composite Settings] (P. 118).

2In M mode, set the shutter speed to [LIVECOMP].

•When the shutter speed is set to [LIVECOMP], you can display the [Composite Settings] by pressing the MENU button.

3Press the shutter button once to prepare for shooting.

•You can shoot when a message that indicates preparations are complete is displayed in the monitor.

4Press the shutter button.

•Live composite shooting begins. A composite image is displayed after each reference exposure time, allowing you to observe changes in light.

•During composite shooting, the screen brightness changes automatically. g[Bulb/ Time Monitor] (P. 118)
