• The shortest time that can be set for [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 exposure time is longer than the time set
in [Interval], some of the pictures that are supposed to betaken at the set interval are not actually taken. For example,
if the time set in [Interval] is 2 seconds and the exposure timeis 3 seconds, the first exposure has not yet finished at thetime the second exposure is supposed to be started (2seconds 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

Using the GPS Unit
In addition to GPS information being saved in the shooting
information of the image, the following functions are available
when the optional GPS unit O-GPS1 is attached to this camera.

u Caution• Never press 1 on the camera when any external flash unit
is attached to the camera. The built-in flash will hit theexternal flash. If you want to use both at once, connect themusing an extension cord.
• Flashes with the reversed polarity (the center contact on the
hot shoe is minus) cannot be used due to the risk of damaging
the camera and/or flash.
• Do not combine with accessories that have a different
number of contacts, such as a Hot Shoe Grip, as amalfunction may occur.
• Combining with flashes from other manufacturers may cause
equipment breakdown.
• With the AF540FGZ, AF540FGZ II, AF360FGZ, or
AF360FGZ II, you can use the High-speed Sync flash todischarge a flash when taking a picture at a shutter speed
faster than 1/180 seconds. Set the capture mode to I, K,
or L.

Tracks and captures celestial bodies.
By matching the movement of the camera’s
built-in Shake Reduction unit with the

u Caution• Never use a spray blower or a blower with a brush. The
CMOS sensor may be damaged. Do not wipe the CMOS
sensor with a cloth.
• Do not put the tip of the blower inside the lens mount area. If
the power is turned off during cleaning, this may cause
damage to the shutter, CMOS sensor and the mirror. Hold thecamera with the lens mount down while cleaning the sensor
so dust will fall away from the sensor when the blower is used.
• When the battery level is low, the message [Not enoughbattery power remaining to clean sensor] is displayed on themonitor. Install a fully charged battery. If the battery capacity
becomes low during cleaning, a warning beep will sound. In
this case, stop cleaning immediately.

t Memo• Please contact your nearest service center for professional
cleaning as the CMOS sensor is a precision part.
• You can use the optional Image Sensor Cleaning Kit O-ICK1
when cleaning the CMOS sensor.
