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 ahigh ISO setting in a high-temperature environment. To reduce this noise, the camera
activates the noise reduction function. g [Noise Reduct.] (P. 111)

Noise reduction is activated• When shooting night scenes, shutter speeds are slower and noise tends to appear inimages. The camera activates the noise-reduction process after shooting at slow shutter
speeds. During which, shooting is not allowed. You can set [Noise Reduct.] to [Off].
g [Noise Reduct.] (P. 111)

The number of AF targets is reduced
The size and number of the AF targets changes with the aspect ratio (P. 73), the AF target
mode (P. 61), and the option selected for [Digital Tele-converter] (P. 99).

The date and time has not been set
The camera is used with the settings at the time of purchase• The date and time of the camera is not set when purchased. Set the date and time before
using the camera. g “Setting the date/time” (P. 19)

The battery has been removed from the camera• The date and time settings will be returned to the factory default settings if the camera isleft without the battery for approximately 1 day. The settings will be canceled more quickly
if the battery was only loaded in the camera for a short time before being removed. Before
taking important pictures, check that the date and time settings are correct.

Set functions are restored to their factory default settings

Image taken appears whitish
This may occur when the picture is taken in backlight or semi-backlight conditions. This isdue to a phenomenon called flare or ghosting. As far as possible, consider a composition
where strong light source is not taken in the picture. Flare may occur even when a lightsource is not present in the picture. Use a lens hood to shade the lens from the lightsource. If a lens hood does not have effect, use your hand to shade the lens from the light.

FCC Notice

The available scientific evidence does not showthat any health problems are associated withusing low power wireless devices. There is no
proof, however, that these low power wirelessdevices are absolutely safe. Low power Wirelessdevices emit low levels of radio frequency energy(RF) in the microwave range while being used.
Whereas high levels of RF can produce healtheffects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level
RF that does not produce heating effects causes
no known adverse health effects. Many studiesof low-level RF exposures have not found any
biological effects. Some studies have suggested
that some biological effects might occur, but suchfindings have not been confirmed by additional
research. IM006 has been tested and found tocomply with IC radiation exposure limits set forth
for an uncontrolled environment and meets RSS102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposurerules.
