Recording timey 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.
• When using a Four Thirds system lens, the AF will not operate while recording movies.

 Taking photographs during movie recording• Press the shutter button during movie recording to pause movie recording and take aphotograph. Movie recording restarts after the photograph is taken. Press the R button
to end recording. Three files will be recorded to the memory card: the movie footage
preceding the photograph, the photograph itself, and the movie footage following thephotograph.
• Only one photograph can be taken at a time during movie recording; the self-timer andflash cannot be used.

y 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:
Multiple exposure (still photography also ends.)/shutter button pressed halfway/during bulb, time or composite photography/sequential shooting/Panorama/SCN mode(e-Portrait, Hand-Held Starlight, 3D)/time lapse shooting

EN 41

y Cautions• In live bulb, live time and live composite photography, there are limits on the available ISO
sensitivity settings.
• To reduce camera blur when shooting using bulb, time, or composite photography, mountthe camera on a sturdy tripod and use a remote cable (P. 137).
• During bulb, time and live composite photography, there are limits on the settings of thefollowing functions.
Sequential shooting/self-timer shooting/time lapse shooting/AE bracket shooting/image stabilizer/flash bracketing/multiple exposure* etc.
* An option other than [Off] is selected for [Live BULB] or [Live TIME] (P. 97).
• Even when [Noise Reduct.] is in use, noise may be noticeable in the image displayed on
the monitor during shooting.

Noise in images

5
Basic operations

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. 96)

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

Measure white balance by framing a piece of paper or other white object under the lightingthat will be used in the final photograph. This is useful when shooting a subject under naturallight, as well as under various light sources with different color temperatures.

1

Prepare a neutral-colored paper, such as white or gray.

2

Shoot while pressing the Y (one-touch white balance) button.

3

Select from P, Q, W, or X and register.

• Frame the object so that it fills the display and no shadows fall it.
• You can also shoot after selecting P, Q, W, or X from the white balance
options screen and then pressing INFO.

% Tips• If the subject is too bright or too dark or visibly tinted, the message [WB NG Retry] will be
displayed and no value will be recorded. Correct the problem and repeat the process from
Step 1.

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.

• Attach the camera to a tripod or other stabilizing item and then shoot.
• The image displayed on the monitor or in the viewfinder while shooting will differ from the
HDR-processed image.
• In the case of [HDR1] and [HDR2], the HDR-processed image will be saved as a JPEG
file. When the image quality mode is set to [RAW], the image is recorded in RAW+JPEG.
The only image recorded in RAW is the image with suitable exposure.
• If set to [HDR1]/[HDR2], the picture mode is fixed to [Natural] and the color setting is fixed
to [sRGB]. [Full-time AF] does not operate.
• Flash photography, bracketing, multiple exposure and time lapse shooting cannot be usedat the same time as HDR photography.

y Cautions• We recommend using a single group of up to three remote flash units.
• 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 camera flash
may affect exposure (this effect can be reduced by reducing the output of the camera
flash by, for example, using a diffuser).
• The upper limit of flash synchronization timing is 1/250 sec. when using the flash inremote control mode.

Other external flash units
Use after connecting the synchro cord to the hot shoeor external flash jack. When not using an external flash
terminal, be sure to attach the cap.
When attaching a third-party flash to the camera’s hot shoeor external flash jack, be careful of the following points.

12
Using separately sold accessories
136 ENCap• Using obsolete flash units that apply currents of more than about 250 V to the X-contact
will damage the camera.
• Connecting flash units with signal contacts that do not conform to Olympus specifications
may damage the camera.
• Set the Shooting mode to M, set the shutter speed to a value no higher than flash
synchronous speed, and set ISO sensitivity to a setting 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.

Principal Accessories
Four Thirds lens adapter (MMF–2/MMF–3)
The camera requires a Four Thirds lens adapter to attach Four Thirds lenses. Since
the AF method differs when using a Micro Four Thirds system lens, the AF operational
area is narrower.

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 multiconnector.

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 can beused.
• 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.

Microphone set (SEMA–1)
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. We recommend that you use the supplied extension
cord. (power supplied via l3.5 mm stereo mini-plug)

Eyecup (EP-13)
You can exchange this for a larger eyecup.

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. 96)

The number of AF targets is reduced
The number and size of AF targets varies with aspect ratio, group target settings, and theoption selected for [Digital Tele-converter]. When using a Four Thirds system lens, there are
37 targets.

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. 17)

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 cancelled 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
When you rotate the mode dial or turn off the power in a shooting mode other than P, A,
S, or M, functions with changes made to their settings are restored to the 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 light source.
If a lens hood does not have effect, use your hand to shade the lens from the light.
g “Interchangeable lenses” (P. 129)

This may be due to stuck pixel(s) on the image pickup device. Perform [Pixel Mapping].
If the problem persists, repeat pixel mapping a few times. g “Pixel Mapping - Checking theimage processing functions” (P. 145)

13
Information
144 EN

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.
y 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.
