Slow synchronization (1st curtain) # SLOW The slow synchronization flash is designed for slow shutter speeds. Normally, when shooting with a flash, shutter speeds cannot go below a certain level to prevent camera shake. But when shooting a subject against a night scene, fast shutter speeds can make the background t00 dark. Slow synchronization allows you to capture both the background and the subject. Since the shutter speed is slow, be sure to stabilize the camera by using a tripod so as not to cause the picture to be blurred. 1st curtain Usually, the flash fires right after the shutter fully opens. This is called 1st curtain. This method is usually used during flash shooting.

1) Some commercially available flashes require a voltage of 250V or more for the

synchronization connector. The use of this type of flash can damage the camera or prevent the camera from operating properly. Contact the manufacturer of the flash for the specifications of the flash synchronization connector.

2) Some commercial available flashes have a synchronization connector with reversed

polarity. This type of flash does not work with this camera. Contact the manufacturer of the flash.

3) Exposures when using a flash require that adjustments be made on the flash. If a flash is

used in the auto mode, match it with the f-number and ISO sensitivity settings on the camera.

4) Even if the flash auto f-number and ISO sensitivity are set the same as on the camera, the

correct exposure may not be obtained depending on the shooting conditions. In such a case, adjust the auto f-number or ISO on the flash or calculate the distance in the manual mode.

5) Use a flash with an illumination angle that matches the focal length of the lens. The focal

length of the lens for 35 mm film is approximately twice as long as the focal length of the lenses designed for this camera.

6) Do not use a flash unit or other accessory TTL flash that has additional communication

functions other than the specified flashes, since it may not only fai to function normally, but may also cause damage to the camera's circuitry. Bunoous ysel4 F

Cleaning and checking the image pickup device 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. Dust reduction is activated when the power switch is set to ON and when starting and stopping live view. 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 tumed on, the camera should be held upright for the dust reduction function to be effective.

You can use hard disk drive. You can use a in compact cameras. commercially available cards. Microdrive that supports CF+Type II (CompactFlash extension standard) Precautions when using a Microdrive A Microdrive is a medium that uses a compact hard disk drive. Because the disk drive rotates, a Microdrive is not as resistant to vibration or impact as other cards. Special care is needed when using a Microdrive (especially during recording and playback) to make sure the camera is not subjected to shock or vibrations. Be sure to read the following precautions before using a Microdrive. Also, refer to the manuals provided with your Microdrive. + Be very careful when putting the camera down during recording. Place it gently on a firm surface. + Do not use the camera in places subject to vibrations or excessive shock, such as at a construction site or in a car while driving along a bumpy road + Do not take a Microdrive close lo areas where it may be exposed to strong magnetism. + The Microdrive may not function correctly under low air pressure conditions, like in altitudes of 3,000 m (9,843 ft.) and higher.

When a non-specified lens is used, auto focus and light metering wi not function correcty. In some cases, other functions may not work either. FOUR THIRDS mount Developed by Olympus as the lens mount standard for the Four Thirds system. These all-newr interchangeable lenses featuring the Four Thirds mount were developed from the ground up based on optic engineering exclusively for digital cameras. ZUIKO DIGITAL interchangeable lens Four Thirds system interchangeable lens are designed to withstand rigorous professional use. The Four Thirds system makes it possible for a fast lens to be compact and lightweight as well Focal length and depth of field of Four Thirds system lenses When compared to 35-mm cameras, Four Thirds system cameras achieve different effects at the same focal length and aperture Focal length Atthe same focal length of a 35-mm camera, a Four Thirds system camera can achieve a focal length equivalent to twice that of a 35-mm camera. This enables the design of compact telephoto lenses. À 14-50 mm Four Thirds system lens, for example, is equivalent to a 28- 100 mm lens for a 35-mm camera. + When the image angle of Four Thirds system lens is converted to that of a 35-mm camera, the perspective is the same as that of a 35-mm camera. Depth of Field A Four Thirds system camera can achieve a depth of field equivalent to two times deeper than that of a 35-mm camera. À Four Thirds system lens with 2.0 brighiness, for example, is equivalent to f4.0 when converted to the aperure of a 35-mm camera. + You can achieve the same amount of background blur as if you were using a 35-mm camera. Q notes + 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 magnifing effect of sunlight focusing through the lens. + Be careful not to lose the body cap and rear cap. + Aftach the body cap to the camera to prevent dust from getting inside when no lens is. attached

It follows, then, that the color temperatures of fluorescent lights make them unsuitable as artificial light sources. There are gaps in the hues from the color temperatures of fluorescent light. If these differences in hue are small, they can be calculated with color temperature and this is called correlated color temperature. The 4000K, 4500K and 6600K preset settings in this camera are correlated color temperatures, and should not be considered strictly as color temperatures. Use these settings for shooting conditions under fluorescent lights.
