You can take a picture with a bulb exposure time in which the shutter stays open as long as you hold down the shutter button. Time the end of the exposure to suit the subject. Use for night landscapes and fireworks. In M mode, set the shutter speed to [BULB].

# Cautions

• Maximum 15 minutes (default)

• The maximum exposure time of bulb shooting depends on ISO sensitivity.

• To reduce camera shake for bulb shooting, mounting the camera on a stable tripod or using a remote cable (sold separately) is recommended.

Noise in images

While shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on-screen. These phenomena are caused when current is generated in those sections of the image pickup device that are not normally exposed to light, resulting in a rise in temperature in the image pickup device or image pickup device drive circuit. 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 “c Custom Menu” (P. 68)

 Wireless flash control range

Position the wireless flash units with their remote sensors facing the camera. The following illustration shows the approximate ranges at which the flash units can be positioned. The actual control range varies with local conditions.

# Cautions

• We recommend using a single group of up to three remote flash units.

• Remote flash units can not be used for second curtain slow synchronization longer than 4 seconds.

• If the subject is too close to the camera, the control flashes emitted by the built-in flash may affect exposure (this effect can be reduced by reducing the output of the built-in flash by, for example, using a diffuser).

Using separately sold accessories

Other external flash units

Observe the following precautions when mounting an external flash unit not designated for use with this camera on the camera hot shoe:

• Using obsolete flash units that apply currents of more than about 24 V to the camera hot shoe X-contact will damage the camera.

• Connecting flash units with signal contacts that do not conform to Olympus specifications may damage the camera.

• Use only with the camera in shooting mode M at ISO settings other than [AUTO].

• Flash control can only be performed by manually setting the flash to the ISO sensitivity and aperture values selected with the camera. Flash brightness can be adjusted by adjusting either ISO sensitivity or aperture.

• Use a flash with an angle of illumination suited to the lens. Angle of illumination is usually expressed using 35-mm format equivalent focal lengths.

Shooting tips

When you are unsure of how to take a picture that you envision, refer to the information below.

 Focusing

Focusing on the subject.

• Take pictures using the touch screen. g P. 43

• Taking a picture of a subject not in the center of the monitor. g P. 39

After focusing on an object at the same distance as the subject, compose the shot, and take the picture.

• Using the face priority AF. g P. 40

• Taking a picture of a shadowy subject. g P. 68

Using the AF illuminator makes focusing easier.

• Taking a picture of subjects where autofocus is difficult.

In the following cases, after focusing on an object (by pressing the shutter button halfway down) with high contrast at the same distance as the subject, compose the shot, and take the picture.

Subject with low contrast Excessively bright light in

Subjects at different

distances

*1 It is also effective to compose the shot by holding the camera vertically to focus, and then

returning to the horizontal position to take the picture.

center of frame

Fast-moving subject Subject not inside AF area

Subject containing no vertical

lines

 Camera shake

Taking pictures without camera shake.

• Taking pictures using [Image Stabilizer]. g P. 33

The image pickup device shifts to correct for camera shake even if the ISO sensitivity is not increased. This function is also effective when taking pictures at a high zoom magnification.

• Select [J Sport] in the scene mode. g P. 21

The [J Sport] mode uses a fast shutter speed and can reduce the blur incurred by a moving subject.

• Taking pictures at a high ISO sensitivity. g P. 40

If a high ISO sensitivity is selected, pictures can be taken at a high shutter speed even at locations where a flash cannot be used.

Usage Tips

Page 96

 Exposure (brightness)

Taking pictures with the right brightness.

• Select [Auto] for [Gradation] in picture mode

• Taking pictures using [Spot Metering]. g P. 38

Brightness is matched with a subject in the center of the screen and the image is not affected by background light.

• Taking pictures using [Fill In] flash. g P. 28

A subject against backlight is brightened.

• Taking pictures of a white beach or snow scene. g P. 21

Select [g Beach & Snow] in the scene mode.

• Taking pictures using exposure compensation. g P. 29

Adjust the brightness while viewing the screen for taking the picture. Normally, taking pictures of white subjects (such as snow) results in images that are darker than the actual subject. Use the exposure compensation to adjust in the positive (+) direction to express whites as they appear. When taking pictures of black subjects, on the other hand, it is effective to adjust in the negative (-) direction.

. g P. 33

 Color hue

Taking pictures with colors at the same shade as they appear.

• Taking pictures by selecting white balance. g P. 34

Best results in most environments can normally be obtained with the [WB Auto] setting, but for some subjects, you should try experimenting with different settings. (This is especially true for sunshade under a clear sky, mixed natural and artificial light settings, and so on.)

 Image quality

Taking sharper pictures.

• Taking pictures at a low ISO sensitivity. g P. 40

If the picture is taken with a high ISO sensitivity, noise (small colored spots and color unevenness that were not in the original image) can occur, and the image can appear grainy.

Usage Tips

Playback/Editing tips

 Playback

Viewing images with high picture quality on a highdefinition TV

• Connect the camera to the TV using an HDMI cable (sold separately). g P. 80

 Editing

Erasing the sound recorded to a still image.

• Display a still image to erase the sound, and select [Erase] for [R]. g P. 55
