# 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.

 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 bulb or time photography/sequential shooting/Panorama/SCN mode (e-Portrait, HandHeld Starlight, 3D)/time lapse shooting

# 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. 133).

• 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] (P. 94).

• Even when [Noise Reduct.] is in use, noise may be noticeable in the image displayed on the monitor during shooting.

Basic operations

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. 93)

[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.

One-touch white balance

Measure white balance by framing a piece of paper or other white object under the lighting that will be used in the ﬁ nal photograph. This is useful when shooting a subject under natural light, as well as under various light sources with different color temperatures.

Prepare a neutral-colored paper, such as white or gray.

• Frame the object so that it ﬁ lls the display and no shadows fall it.

Shoot while pressing the Y (one-touch white balance) button.

• You can also shoot after selecting P, Q, W, or X from the white balance

options screen and then pressing INFO.

Select from P, Q, W, or X and register.

• If it is already selected in the white balance menu, select [Yes] and press the Q

button.

• The new value is saved as a preset white balance option.

• The new value is stored until one-touch white balance is measured again. Turning the power off does not erase the data.

% Tips

• If the subject is too bright or too dark or visibly tinted, the message [WB NG Retry] will be displayed and no value will be recorded. Correct the problem and repeat the process from Step 1.

ISO sensitivity

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 lever to position 2, and turn the front dial to select items.

Controlling color (Color Creator)

You can adjust the color of the subject while looking through the viewﬁ nder. Select this function with the multi-function button to use it.

Set the multi-function button to c (Color Creator) in advance (P. 23).

While looking through the viewﬁ nder, press the Fn2 button.

• An options screen will be displayed in the viewﬁ nder.

# Cautions

• The white balance is ﬁ xed to AUTO.

• When the image quality mode is set to [RAW], the image is recorded in RAW+JPEG.

HDR photography

The camera shoots several images and automatically combines them into an HDR image. You can also shoot several images and perform HDR imaging on a computer (HDR bracketing photography).

Shoot.

• When you press the shutter button, the camera automatically shoots the set number of images.

• While shooting, a simply composed image will be displayed on the monitor or in the viewﬁ nder.

# Cautions

• In the case of HDR1 and HDR2, exposure compensation is not available.

• If you shoot with a slower shutter speed, there may be more noticeable noise.

• Attach the camera to a tripod or other stabilizing item and then shoot.

• 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 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.

# 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.

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].
