Shooting• For q and U, a new folder is created and the captured
images are saved there.
• The shortest time that can be set for [Interval] is 5 seconds
when [Digital Filter], [Clarity], or [Skin Tone] is set, and 10
seconds when [HDR Capture] is set.
• The second and later exposures start at the intervals set in[Interval]. If the exposure time is longer than the time set in[Interval], some of the pictures that are supposed to be taken
at the set intervals are not actually taken. For example, if thetime set in [Interval] is 2 seconds and the exposure time is 3
seconds, the first exposure does not end at the time thesecond exposure is supposed to start (2 seconds after thestart of shooting), and so the second picture is not taken. As
a result, Interval Shooting ends before the specified numberof shots are taken. In such cases, you can set [Standby
Interval] in [12 Interval Shooting Options] of the E2 menu sothat pictures are taken at the set intervals after each exposure
ends. The screen displayed in Step 4 varies depending on the[12 Interval Shooting Options] setting.
• For q and U, the focus position used when the first picture
is taken is locked. In order to perform autofocus for eachexposure, set [13 AF in Interval Shooting] to [Adjusts focus foreach shot] in the E2 menu.
• For U and w, set the camera on a fixed support such as

For customers in Canada
Industry Canada (IC) Compliance Notice

Pour les utilisateurs au Canada
Industrie Canada (IC) Avis de ConformitéThis Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES003 (B).

Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme
NMB-003 (B) du Canada.

This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt
RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and(2) this device must accept any interference, includinginterference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada
applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence.
L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes :(1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et(2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage
radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’encompromettre le fonctionnement.
Les connaissances scientifiques dont nous disposons n’ont mis
en évidence aucun problème de santé associé à l’usage desappareils sans fil à faible puissance. Nous ne sommes
cependant pas en mesure de prouver que ces appareils sans fil
à faible puissance sont entièrement sans danger. Les appareilssans fil à faible puissance émettent une énergie fréquence
radioélectrique (RF) très faible dans le spectre des micro-ondes
lorsqu’ils sont utilisés. Alors qu’une dose élevée de RF peut
avoir des effets sur la santé (en chauffant les tissus),
l’exposition à de faibles RF qui ne produisent pas de chaleur n’apas de mauvais effets connus sur la santé. De nombreusesétudes ont été menées sur les expositions aux RF faibles etn’ont découvert aucun effet biologique. Certaines études ont
suggéré qu’il pouvait y avoir certains effets biologiques, maisces résultats n’ont pas été confirmés par des recherches
supplémentaires. Le K-70 a été testé et jugé conforme aux
limites d’exposition aux rayonnements IC énoncées pour unenvironnement non contrôlé et respecte les règles d’exposition
aux fréquences radioélectriques (RF) CNR-102 de l’IC.

Appendix

The available scientific evidence does not show that any healthproblems are associated with using low power wireless devices.
There is no proof, however, that these low power wirelessdevices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit
low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave
range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce
health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that
does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse
health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have notfound any biological effects. Some studies have suggested thatsome biological effects might occur, but such findings have notbeen confirmed by additional research. The K-70 has beentested and found to comply with IC radiation exposure limits set
forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets RSS-102 of the
IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.
