400• The exposure determined by the aperture value and shutter speed you have set, and thedifference relative to a suitable exposure measured by the camera are displayed on themonitor.
• Shutter speed can be set to values between 1/4000 and 60 seconds or to [BULB] or[LIVE TIME], or [LIVECOMP].

Cautions• If you change the aperture value and shutter speed, the display on the monitor (orviewfinder) will not change. To display the image as it is going to be shot, set [Live View
Boost] (P. 101) in Custom Menu.
• Even when you have set [Noise Reduct.], noise and/or light spots may still be noticeable
in the image displayed on the monitor and shot images under certain environmental
conditions (temperature etc.) and camera settings.

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. 103)

Shooting with long exposure time (BULB)
Use for night landscapes and fireworks. In M mode, set the shutter speed to [BULB] or[LIVE TIME].
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.

• During bulb or time photography, the screen brightness changes automatically. g “Bulb/
Time Monitor” (P. 103)
• When using [LIVE TIME], the progress of the exposure will be displayed in the monitor
during shooting. The display can also be refreshed by touching the monitor.
• [Live Bulb] (P. 103) can be used to display the image exposure during bulb photography.

EN 35

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 size of the movie file being recorded exceeds 4 GB, the file will be split
automatically.
• When recording movies, use an SD card that supports an SD speed class of 10 or higher.
• To continuously record a movie of 4 GB or larger, do not set the image quality mode to
All-Intra. Use another mode.
• 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.

Choosing a focal length (Micro Four Thirds/Four Thirds System lenses excluded)
Use focal length information to reduce camera shake when shooting with lenses that are not
Micro Four Thirds or Four Thirds system lenses.
• Select [Image Stabilizer], press the INFO button, use HI to select a focal length, andpress Q.
• Choose a focal length between 8 mm and 1000 mm.
• Choose the value that most closely matches to the one that is printed on the lens.

Cautions• The image stabilizer cannot correct excessive camera shake or camera shake that occurs
when the shutter speed is set to the slowest speed. In these cases, it is recommended
that you use a tripod.
• When using a tripod, set [Image Stabilizer] to [OFF].
• When using a lens with an image stabilization function switch, priority is given to the lensside setting.
• When priority is being given to the lens side image stabilization and the camera side is set
to [S-IS AUTO], [S-IS1] is used instead of [S-IS AUTO].
• You may notice an operating sound or vibration when the image stabilizer is activated.

Cautions2
Shooting• When you are using S, no confirmation image is displayed during shooting. The
image is displayed again after shooting ends. When you are using T, the image shot
immediately before is displayed.
• The speed of sequential shooting varies depending on the lens you are using and thefocus of the zoom lens.
• During sequential shooting, if the battery check blinks due to low battery, the camera
stops shooting and starts saving the pictures you have taken on the card. The camera
may not save all of the pictures depending on how much battery power remains.
• Fix the camera securely on a tripod for self-timer shooting.
• If you stand in front of the camera to press the shutter button when using the self-timer,
the photograph may be out of focus.

Shooting without the vibration caused by shutter button operations(Anti-Shock z)
To prevent camera shake caused by the small vibrations that occur during shutter
operations, shooting is performed using an electronic front-curtain shutter.
This is used when shooting with a microscope or a super telephoto lens.
You can change the time between the shutter button is pressed all the way down andthe shutter is released in [Anti-Shockz] in X Shooting menu 2. Set to [Off] to hide thissetting item. (P. 94)

• When the set time has elapsed, the shutter is released and the image is shot.

Shooting without shutter sound (Silent[♥])In situations where the shutter sound is a problem, you can shoot without making
a sound. Shooting is performed using electronic shutters for both the front and rearcurtains so that the miniscule camera shaking caused by shutter movements can be
reduced, just as in anti-shock shooting.
You can change the time between the shutter button is pressed all the way down andthe shutter is released in [Silent[♥]] in X Shooting menu 2. Set to [Off] to hide thissetting item. (P. 94)

Cautions• The number of storable still pictures may change according to the subject, whether or notprint reservations have been made, and other factors. In certain instances, the numberof storable still pictures displayed on the monitor will not change even when you takepictures or erase stored images.
• The actual file size varies according to the subject.
• The maximum number of storable still pictures displayed on the monitor is 9999.
• For the available recording time for movies, see the Olympus website.

8 Interchangeable lenses
Choose a lens according to the scene and your creative intent. Use
lenses designed exclusively for the Micro Four Thirds system andbearing the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL label or the symbol shown at right.
With an adapter, you can also use Four Thirds System and OM Systemlenses.
Cautions• When you attach or remove the body cap and lens from the camera, keep the lens mounton the camera pointed downward. This helps prevent dust and other foreign matter fromgetting 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 thelens.
• Be careful not to lose the body cap and rear cap.
• Attach the body cap to the camera to prevent dust from getting inside when no lens is
attached.

External flash units designated for use with this camera
With this camera, you can use one of the separately sold external flash units toachieve a flash suited to your needs. The external flashes communicate with thecamera, allowing you to control the camera’s flash modes with various available flash
control modes, such as TTL-AUTO and Super FP flash. An external flash unit specified
for use with this camera can be mounted on the camera by attaching it to the camera’s
hot shoe. You can also attach the flash to the flash bracket on the camera using thebracket cable (optional). Refer to the documentation provided with the external flash
units as well.
The upper limit of the shutter speed is 1/200 sec. when using a flash*.

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 1/160 sec. when using the flash in RC
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 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
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. (P. 11)

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).

Image taken appears whitish

10
Information

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. 132)

Unknown bright dot(s) appear on the subject in the picture taken
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. 143)

Functions that cannot be selected from menus
Some items may not be selectable from the menus when using the arrow pad.

Cleaning and checking the image pickup device

Information

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

This equipment complies with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolledenvironment and meets the FCC radio frequency(RF) Exposure Guidelines. This equipment hasvery low levels of RF energy that are deemed
to comply without testing of specific absorption
rate (SAR).
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. E-M10MarkII has been tested andfound to comply with IC radiation exposure limits
set forth for an uncontrolled environment andmeets RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF)Exposure rules.
