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

Changing ISO sensitivity (ISO)

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.

Set the Fn lever to the position 2, and rotate the front dial to select a value.

• Exposure compensation can be adjusted by rotating the front dial in M mode.

The sensitivity is set automatically according to the shooting

conditions. The upper limit of ISO sensitivity and the shutter speed to start raising the sensitivity can be set with [ISO-Auto Set] in Custom menu (P. 117).

The sensitivity is set to the selected value.

Adjusting color ( WB (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.

Set the Fn lever to the position 2, and rotate the rear dial to select a value.

• Photographs taken in silent and pro-capture modes may be distorted if the subject or camera moves quickly during shooting.

Shooting without the vibration caused by shutter button operations ( Anti-Shock z)

To prevent camera shake caused by the small vibrations that occur during shutter operations, shooting is performed using an electronic front-curtain shutter. This is used when shooting with a microscope or a super telephoto lens. You must ﬁ rst set [Anti-Shock z] in X Shooting Menu 2 to the settings other than [Off] (P. 98).

Shooting without shutter sound ( Silent [♥])

In situations where the shutter sound is a problem, you can shoot without making a sound. Shooting is performed using electronic shutters for both the front and rear curtains so that the miniscule camera shaking caused by shutter movements can be reduced, just as in anti-shock shooting. You can change the time between the shutter button is pressed all the way down and the shutter is released in [Silent [♥]] in X Shooting Menu 2. Set to [Off] to hide this setting item (P. 98).

• The camera will continue shooting for up to a minute while the shutter button is pressed halfway. To resume shooting, press the button halfway again.

• Flickering occurred by ﬂ uorescent lights or the large movement of the subject, etc. may cause distortions in images.

• The monitor will not be blacked out and the shutter sound will not be emitted while bracketing.

• The slowest shutter speed is limited.

• The sequential shooting speed, the number of pre-captured images, and the shot limit can be set in [0] of [jL Settings] or [jH Settings] (P. 114) in Custom Menu.

• The display refresh rate may drop below the value selected for [Frame Rate] (P. 115) in the custom menu depending on subject brightness and the options selected for ISO sensitivity and exposure compensation.

• Choosing p when [C-AF] or [C-AF+TR] is selected changes the autofocus mode (P. 43, 51) to [S-AF].

Shooting still pictures in a higher resolution ( High Res Shot)

When shooting an unmoving subject, you can shoot pictures in a higher resolution. A high resolution image is recorded by shooting several times while moving the imaging sensor. Attach the camera to a tripod or other stabilizing item and then shoot. You can change the time between the shutter button is pressed all the way down and the shutter is released in [High Res Shot] in X Shooting Menu 2. Set to [Off] to hide this setting item (P. 99).

• 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] or [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.

• In the case of [HDR1] or [HDR2], the picture mode is ﬁ xed to [Natural] and the color setting is ﬁ xed to [sRGB].

• Flash photography, bracketing, multiple exposure, and time lapse shooting cannot be used at the same time as HDR photography.

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 4 seconds and the longest available exposure is 15 seconds.

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

Image stabilizer is off.

The camera detects the panning direction and applies the appropriate image stabilization.

Image stabilizer is on.

Image stabilization applies only to vertical (Y) camera shake.

Image stabilization applies only to horizontal (Z) camera shake. Use when panning the camera horizontally with the camera held in portrait orientation.

Image stabilizer is off.

The camera uses both sensor shift (VCM) and electronic correction.

The camera uses sensor shift (VCM) correction only. Electronic correction is not used.

Using lenses other than Micro Four Thirds/Four Thirds System lenses

You can use focal length information to reduce camera shake when shooting with lenses that are not Micro Four Thirds or Four Thirds system lenses.

• Set [Image Stabilizer], press the Q button, press the INFO button, then use FGHI to select a focal length, and press the Q button.

• Choose a focal length between 0.1 mm and 1000.0 mm.

• Choose the value that matches the one printed on the lens.

• 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 given to the lens side image stabilization, [S-IS1] is used instead of [S-IS AUTO].

• You may notice an operating sound or vibration when the image stabilizer is activated.
