Noise in images
While shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on-screen. Thesephenomena are caused when current is generated in those sections of the image
pickup device that are not normally exposed to light, resulting in a rise in temperaturein the image pickup device or image pickup device drive circuit. This can also occur
when shooting with a high ISO setting in a high-temperature environment. To reduce
this noise, the camera activates the noise reduction function. [NOISE REDUCT.]:g “Custom menu” (P. 78)

Cleaning and storing the camera
Cleaning the camera
Turn off the camera and remove the battery before cleaning the camera.

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.

LCD monitor:• Wipe gently with a soft cloth.

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

Storage• When not using the camera for a prolonged period, remove the battery and card.
Store the 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 attachingthem.
• 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

11
Information

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

# Caution• 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
the camera 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 thecamera works properly.

EN 95

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 ensure that it operates correctly.

1 Select [PIXEL MAPPING] in c Custom Menu (P. 78) tab b.
2 Press I, then press the Q button.
• The [BUSY] bar is displayed when pixel mapping is in progress. When pixel
mapping is finished, the menu is restored.

# Caution• If you accidentally turn the camera off during pixel mapping, start again from Step 1.

• The battery will not be fully charged at the time of purchase. Charge the battery
using the provided charger (BCS-5) 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 suppliedcharger.

# Caution• 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

Using your charger abroad

11
Information• The charger can be used in most home electrical sources within the range of 100 V
to 240 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 agent.
• Do not use commercially available travel adaptors as the charger may malfunction.

Interchangeable lenses
Choose a lens according to the scene and your creative intent. Use
lenses designed exclusively for the Micro Four Thirds System, whichbear the symbol shown at right. With an adapter, you can also use Four
Thirds System and OM System lenses.

M.ZUIKO DIGITAL interchangeable lenses
This is an interchangeable lens specifically for use with the “Micro Four Thirds
system” which is a smaller, thinner version of the “Four Thirds system”.
Micro Four Thirds System lenses
Cameras designed for the Micro Four Thirds System do away with the bulky mirror
box and viewfinder found in ordinary single-lens reflex cameras, resulting in acamera body that is substantially more compact. Similarly, lens design is matchedto the camera for a compact, light-weight photo system. One characteristic of Micro
Four Thirds System lenses is that they can achieve magnifications equivalent todouble those produced by 35 mm format cameras with lenses of the same focal
length, producing high-power lenses that are light and compact. For example, aMicro Four Thirds System lens with a focal length of 14–42 mm is equivalent to a
35 mm format lens with a focal length of 28–84 mm. The aperture of a Micro Four
Thirds System lens can also be made smaller than that of a 35 mm format lens,making it possible to achieve a lens with the same brightness (f-number) in a smaller
package. The brighter the lens, the faster the shutter speeds that can be achieved
under low-light conditions.

# Caution

11
Information
98 EN• When you attach or remove the body cap and lens from the camera, keep the lens
mount on the camera pointed downward. This helps prevent dust and other foreign
matter from getting inside the camera.
• Do not remove the body cap or attach the lens in dusty places.
• Do not point the lens attached to the camera toward the sun. This may cause
the camera to malfunction or even ignite due to the magnifying effect of sunlight
focusing through the lens.
• Be careful not to lose the body cap and rear cap.

• Handle the camera with care to avoid
getting a low-temperature burn.
When the camera contains metal parts,
overheating can result in a low-temperatureburn. Pay attention to the following:• When used for a long period, the camera
will get hot. If you hold on to the camerain this state, a low temperature burn may
be caused.
• In places subject to extremely cold
temperatures, the temperature of thecamera's body may be lower than theenvironmental temperature. If possible,
wear gloves when handling the camera
in cold temperatures.
• Be careful with the strap.
Be careful with the strap when you carrythe camera. It could easily catch on strayobjects - and cause serious damage.

jewelry, pins, fasteners, etc.
• Never store batteries where they will be
exposed to direct sunlight, or subjected tohigh temperatures in a hot vehicle, near aheat source, etc.
• To prevent causing battery leaks or
damaging their terminals, carefully follow all
instructions regarding the use of batteries.
Never attempt to disassemble a battery or
modify it in any way, by soldering, etc.
• If battery fluid gets into your eyes, flush youreyes immediately with clear, cold runningwater and seek medical attention immediately.
