ISO-A

200

Displayed during recording

Recording time

# 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

• Press the shutter button during movie recording to take a photograph while continuing to record (mode1). Press the R button to end recording. The movie and photograph ﬁ les are 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.

Shooting using the viewﬁ nder

g [Movie+Photo Mode] (P. 96)

# 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), it will be set to mode2.

• The maximum length of composite shooting is 3 hours. However, the available shooting time will vary depending on shooting conditions, and charging state of the camera.

# Cautions

• In live bulb, live time and live composite photography, there are limits on the available ISO sensitivity settings.

• To reduce camera blur when shooting using bulb, time, or composite photography, mount the camera on a sturdy tripod and use a remote cable (P. 128).

• During bulb, time and live composite photography, there are limits on the settings of the following functions.

Sequential shooting/self-timer shooting/time lapse shooting/AE bracket shooting/image stabilizer/ﬂ ash bracketing/multiple exposure* etc. * When an option other than [Off] is selected for [Live BULB] or [Live TIME] (P. 93).

• 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. 92)

Choosing a focal length (Micro Four Thirds/Four Thirds System lenses excluded)

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

• Select [Image Stabilizer], press the INFO button, use HI to select a focal length, and press Q.

• Choose a focal length between 8 mm and 1000 mm.

• Choose the value that most closely matches to the one that is printed on the lens.

Page 61

# Cautions

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

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

# 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.

Page 66

• 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.

P Optimal aperture is set automatically according to the brightness of the subject.

Depiction of background is changed by setting the aperture. Use the rear dial to

adjust the aperture. Shutter speed affects how the subject appears. Use the rear dial to adjust the

shutter speed. Shutter speed can be set to values between 1/30 s and 1/4000 s. You control both aperture and shutter speed. Use the front dial to choose the

aperture, the rear dial to select the shutter speed from values between 1/30 s and

1/4000 s. Sensitivity can be set manually to values between ISO 200 and 3200; auto ISO sensitivity control is not available.

# 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.
