# Cautions• When using a camera with a CMOS image sensor, moving objects may appear distorted
due to the rolling shutter phenomenon. This is a physical phenomenon whereby distortion
occurs in the filmed image when shooting a fast-moving subject or due to camera shaking.
In particular, this phenomenon becomes more noticeable when using a long focal length.
• If the camera is used for extended periods, the temperature of the image pickup device
will rise and noise and colored fog may appear in images. Turn off the camera for a shorttime. Noise and colored fog may also appear in images recorded at high ISO sensitivity
settings. If the temperature rises further, the camera will turn off automatically.

• Only one photograph can be taken at a time during movie recording; the self-timer andflash cannot be used.

# Cautions• Image size and quality for photographs are independent of movie frame size.
• The autofocus and metering used in movie mode may differ from that used to takephotographs.
• The R button cannot be used to record movies in the following instances:

Choosing when the exposure ends (bulb/time photography)

Use for night landscapes and fireworks. Shutter speeds of [BULB] and [LIVE TIME] areavailable in mode M.
Bulb photography (BULB): The shutter remains open while the shutter button is pressed.
The exposure ends when the shutter button is released.
Time photography (TIME):The exposure begins when the shutter button is pressed all
the way down. To end the exposure, press the shutter button
all the way down again.

# Cautions• ISO sensitivity can be set to a value up to ISO 1600 for live bulb and live time
photography.
• To reduce camera blur during long exposures, mount the camera on a tripod and use aremote cable (P. 124).
• The following features are not available during long exposures:Sequential shooting/self-timer shooting/AE bracket shooting/image stabilizer/
flash bracketing/multiple exposure** An option other than [Off] is selected for [Live BULB] or [Live TIME].

Basic operations

When using [LIVE TIME], the progress of the exposure will be displayed in the monitor
during shooting. The display can also be refreshed by pressing the shutter button
halfway. In addition, [Live BULB] can be used to display the image exposure during
bulb photography. g “Using the custom menus” (P. 72)

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. 76)

Using movie mode (n)Movie mode (n) can be used to film movies with special effects.
You can create movies that take advantage of the effects available in still photography
mode. Use live control to select the settings. g “Adding effects to a movie [Movie

Exterior:• Wipe gently with a soft cloth. If the camera is very dirty, soak the cloth in mild soapy water
and wring well. Wipe the camera with the damp cloth and then dry it with a dry cloth. If you
have used the camera at the beach, use a cloth soaked in clean water and well wrung.
• If blotches appear on the surface of the grip, wipe them off with a cloth.

Monitor:• Wipe gently with a soft cloth.

Lens:• Blow dust off the lens with a commercially available blower. For the lens, wipe gently witha lens cleaning paper.

Storage6
Other• When not using the camera for a prolonged period, remove the battery and card. Storethe camera in a cool, dry place that is well ventilated.
• Insert the battery periodically and test the camera’s functions.
• Remove dust and other foreign matter from the body and rear caps before attaching them.
• Attach the body cap to the camera to prevent dust from getting inside when no lens is
attached. Be sure to replace the front and rear lens caps before putting the lens away.
• Clean the camera after use.
• Do not store with insect repellent.

Cleaning and checking the image pickup device
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.

EN 103

Pixel Mapping - Checking the image processing functions

7 Battery and charger
Battery and charger• Use the single Olympus lithium-ion battery. Use only genuine OLYMPUS rechargeable
batteries.
• The camera’s power consumption varies widely with usage and other conditions.
• As the following consume a lot of power even without shooting, the battery will be drained
quickly.
• Performing auto focus repeatedly by pressing the shutter button halfway in shootingmode.
• Displaying images on the monitor for a prolonged period.
• When connected to a computer or printer.
• When using a drained battery, the camera may turn off without the low battery warning
being displayed.
• The battery will not be fully charged at the time of purchase. Charge the battery using theprovided charger before use.
• The normal charging time using the provided charger is approximately 3 hours 30 minutes(estimated).
• Do not attempt to use chargers not specifically designated for use with the supplied
battery, or to use batteries not specifically designated for use with the supplied charger.

• There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with the incorrect battery type.
Dispose of the used battery following the instructions “Battery Handling Precautions” (P. 126).

Using your charger abroad• The charger can be used in most home electrical sources within the range of 100 V to240 V AC (50/60 Hz) around the world. However, depending on the country or area you
are in, the AC wall outlet may be shaped differently and the charger may require a plug
adapter to match the wall outlet. For details, ask at your local electrical shop or travel

• Remote flash units cannot 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).
• The upper limit of flash synchronization timing is 1/160 sec. when using the flash inremote control mode.

Other external flash units
Note the following when using a third-party flash unit mounted on the camera hot shoe:• Using obsolete flash units that apply currents of more than about 24 V to the camera hot
shoe X-contact will damage the camera.
• Connecting flash units with signal contacts that do not conform to Olympus specifications
may damage the camera.
• Use only with the camera in shooting mode M at shutter speeds slower than 1/160 s andat ISO settings other than [Auto].
• Flash control can only be performed by manually setting the flash to the ISO sensitivity
and aperture values selected with the camera. Flash brightness can be adjusted byadjusting either ISO sensitivity or aperture.
• Use a flash with an angle of illumination suited to the lens. Angle of illumination is usually
expressed using 35-mm format equivalent focal lengths.
