Setting the image aspect
You can change the aspect ratio (horizontal-to-vertical ratio) when taking picturesusing live view. Depending on your preference, you can set the aspect ratio to [4:3](standard), [16:9], [3:2], [6:6], or [3:4].

1 Display the live control (P. 22) and select the aspect ratio item using
FG.

2 Use HI to select an aspect ratio and press Q.
# Cautions• JPEG images are cropped to the selected aspect ratio; RAW images, however, are notcropped but are instead saved with information on the selected aspect ratio.
• When RAW images are played back, the selected aspect ratio is shown by a frame.

% Tips• For information on cropping existing photographs or changing their aspect ratio, see“Editing still images” (P. 67).

ISO sensitivity
Increasing ISO sensitivity increases noise (graininess) but allows photographs to betaken 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 thenadjusts ISO sensitivity according to shooting conditions.

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 thatare 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 highISO setting in a high-temperature environment. To reduce this noise, the camera activates

# 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 or anti-shock
exposures longer than 4 seconds.
• If the subject is too close to the camera, the control flashes emitted by the supplied flash
may affect exposure (this effect can be reduced by reducing the output of the supplied
flash by, for example, using a diffuser).

Customizing camera settings• After confirming that the built-in and remote flash units have charged, take a test
shot.

Cleaning and checking the image pickup device

11
Information

This camera incorporates a dust reduction function to keep dust from getting on theimage pickup device and to remove any dust or dirt from the image pickup device
surface with ultrasonic vibrations. The dust reduction function operates when thecamera is turned on.
The dust reduction function operates at the same time as the pixel mapping, whichchecks the image pickup device and image processing circuitry. Since dust reductionis activated every time the camera's power is turned on, the camera should be held
upright for the dust reduction function to be effective.

# Cautions• Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or alcohol, or a chemically treated cloth.
• Avoid storing the camera in places where chemicals are treated, in order to protect thecamera from corrosion.
• Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left dirty.
• Check each part of the camera before use if it has not been used for a long time. Before
taking important pictures, be sure to take a test shot and check that the camera works
properly.

Pixel mapping - Checking the image processing functions
The pixel mapping feature allows the camera to check and adjust the image pickup
device and image processing functions. After using the monitor or taking continuous
shots, wait for at least one minute before using the pixel mapping function to ensurethat it operates correctly.

Principal Accessories
Mount adapter
Mount adapter allows the camera to be used with lenses that do not conform to theMicro Four Thirds System standard.
 Four Thirds lens adapter (MMF–2)
The camera requires MMF-2 Four Thirds lens adapter to attach Four Thirds lenses.
Some features, such as autofocus, may not be available.
 OM adapter (MF–2)
Use with existing OLYMPUS OM System lenses. Focus and aperture must be adjusted
manually. Image stabilization can be used. Input the focal length of the lens being usedin the camera image stabilization settings.

Remote cable (RM–UC1)
Use when the slightest camera movement can result in blurred pictures, for example
for macro or bulb photography. The remote cable attaches via the camera USB
connector.

Converter lenses
Converter lenses attach to the camera lens for quick and easy fish-eye or macro
photography. See the OLYMPUS website for information on the lenses that canbe used.
• Use the appropriate lens attachment for SCN mode (f, w, or m).

Macro arm light (MAL–1)
Use to illuminate subjects for macro photography, even at ranges at which vignetting
would occur with the flash.

11

Microphone set (SEMA–1)

Information

Produces higher-quality recordings than the camera’s built-in microphone. The
microphone can be placed at a distance from the camera to avoid recording ambient
sounds or wind noise. Third-party commercial microphones can also be used
depending on your creative intent (power supplied via l3.5 mm stereo mini-plug).

Electronic viewfinder (VF-2)
Electronic viewfinder can be used to view the shooting display. This is convenient when
you are in a very bright location, such as under direct sunlight, where it is difficult toview the monitor, or are using the camera at a low angle.

102 ENExposure warning display
