• When attaching or removing the lens, cho ose an environment
that is relatively free of dirt and dust.
• Keep the body mount cover attached on the camera when a
lens is not attached.
• Be sure to attach the lens mount cover and lens cap to the
lens after removing it from the camera.
• Do not insert your fingers inside the lens mount of the camera
or touch the mirror.
• The camera body and lens mount incorporate lens
information contacts. Dirt, dust, or corrosion may damage the
electrical system. Please contact your nearest service center
for professional cleaning.
• When a retractable lens is attached and is not extended, you
cannot take pictures and use some functions. If the lens is
retracted during shooting, the camera stops working. Refer to
“How to Use a Retractable Lens” (p.40) for details.
• We assume no responsibility nor liability for accidents,
damages and malfunctions resulting from the use of lenses
made by other manufacturers.
t Memo

u Caution
• Do not use the battery charger D-BC109 to charge batteries
other than the battery D-LI109. Charging other batteries may
cause damage or heating.
• Replace the battery with a new one in the following cases:
• If the indicator lamp blinks or does not light after the battery
is inserted correctly
• If the battery starts to run down more quickly even after
being charged (the battery may have reached the end of its
service life)
t Memo
• The maximum charging time is approximately 240 minutes (it
depends on temperature and remaining battery power).
Charge in a location where the temperature is between 0°C
and 40°C (32°F and 104°F).
Inserting/Removing the Battery
u Caution
• Insert the battery correctly. If the battery is inserted
incorrectly, it may not be removed.
• Wipe the electrodes of the battery with a soft dry cloth before
inserting.
• Do not open the battery cover or remove the battery while the
power is on.
• Be careful as the camera or battery may become hot after the
camera has been used continuously for a long period of time.
• Remove the battery when you will not use the camera for a
long time. The battery may leak and damage the camera if left
installed during prolonged periods of non-use. If the removed
battery will not be used for six months or longer, charge the
battery for about 30 minutes before storing it. Be sure to
recharge the battery every six to twelve months.
• Store the battery in a location where the temperature will
remain at or below room temperature. Avoid locations with

• A new folder is created when Interval Shooting is performed,

• The shortest time that can be set f or [Interval] is 5 seconds for
[Digital Filter] and [Clarity Enhancement], and 10 seconds for
[HDR Capture] and Y mode.
• For Interval Shooting, Interval Composite, and Interval Movie
Record, the second and later exposures start at the interval
set in [Interval]. If the e xposure time is longer than the time set
in [Interval], some of the pictures that are supposed to be
taken at the set interval are not actually taken. For example,
if the time set in [Interval] is 2 seconds and the exposure time
is 3 seconds, the first exposure has not yet finished at the
time the second exposure is supposed to be started (2
seconds after shooting has started), and so the second
picture is not taken. As a result, Interval Shooting ends before
the specified number of shots are taken. In such cases, you
can set [Standby Interval] in [10 Interval Shooting Options] of
the E2 menu so that pictures are taken at the set interval
after each exposure ends. The screen displayed in Step 5
