text_image
displayed during recording Recording time 00:02:18! 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 short time. 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.
■ Taking photographs during movie recording
- Press the shutter button during movie recording to pause movie recording and take a photograph. Movie recording restarts after the photograph is taken. Press the Ⓞ 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 the photograph.
- Only one photograph can be taken at a time during movie recording; the self-timer and flash 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 take photographs.
- The Ⓞ button cannot be used to record movies in the following instances: shutter button pressed halfway/during bulb or time photography/sequential shooting/Panorama/3D/multiple exposure, etc. (still photography also ends.)

Switching the information display
You can switch the information displayed in the monitor during shooting using the INFO button.

Histogram display
Display a histogram showing the distribution of brightness in the image. The horizontal axis gives the brightness, the vertical axis the number of pixels of each brightness in the image. Areas above the upper limit at shooting are displayed in red, those below the lower limit in blue, and the area metered using spot metering in green.
Focus lock
If the camera is unable to focus on the subject with the desired composition, use focus lock to focus on the subject and then recompose the photograph.
1 Position the subject to be focused on in the center of the monitor and press the shutter button halfway.
• Make sure that the AF confirmation mark is lighting up.
- Focus locks while the shutter button is pressed halfway.
2 Keeping the shutter button pressed halfway, recompose the photograph and then press the shutter button the rest of the way down.
- Do not change the distance between the camera and the subject while pressing the shutter button halfway.

Tips
- If the camera is unable to focus on the subject even when using focus lock, use [...] (AF target). “Choosing a focus target (AF target)” (P. 35)
Using the shooting modes

Choosing aperture and shutter speed (M manual mode)
In mode M, you choose both the aperture and the shutter speed. At a speed of BULB, the shutter remains open while the shutter button is pressed. Select M as the shooting mode, press the ☒ button (△), and use △▽ to adjust the shutter speed and ◀▷ to adjust the aperture value.
- Shutter speed can be set to values between 1/4000 and 60 seconds or to [BULB] or [LIVE TIME].
! Cautions
- Exposure compensation is not available in M mode.
Choosing when the exposure ends (bulb/time photography)
Use for night landscapes and fireworks. Shutter speeds of [BULB] and [LIVE TIME] are available 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.
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. “Using the custom menus” (P. 70)
! 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 a remote cable (P. 120).
- 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].
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 a high ISO setting in a high-temperature environment. To reduce this noise, the camera activates the noise reduction function. [Noise Reduct.] (P. 74)
Using movie mode (☐)
Movie mode (☐) 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. “Adding effects to a movie [Movie Effect]” (P. 86)
You can also apply an after-image effect or other effects during movie recording.
[Movie Effect] in the custom menu must be set to [On] before making these settings.

- The camera cannot focus on subjects that are too close to the camera or that are not suited to autofocus (the AF confirmation mark will blink in the monitor). Increase the distance to the subject or focus on a high contrast object at the same distance from the camera as your main subject, compose the shot, and shoot.
Subjects that are difficult to focus on
It may be difficult to focus with auto focus in the following situations.
AF confirmation mark is blinking. These subjects are not focused.

Subject with low contrast

Excessively bright light in center of frame

Subject containing no vertical lines
AF confirmation mark lights up but the subject is not focused.

Subjects at different distances

Fast-moving subject

Subject not inside AF area
Noise reduction is activated
- When shooting night scenes, shutter speeds are slower and noise tends to appear in images. 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]. 📄 [Noise Reduct.] (P. 74)
The number of AF targets is reduced
The number and size of AF targets varies with aspect ratio, group target settings, and the option selected for [Digital Tele-converter].
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. “Setting the date/time” (P. 16)
The battery has been removed from the camera
- The date and time settings will be returned to the factory default settings if the camera is left 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
In modes other than P, A, S, and M, default settings are restored when another shooting mode is selected or the camera is turned off.
Image taken appears whitish
This may occur when the picture is taken in backlight or semi-backlight conditions. This is due 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 light source 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. “Interchangeable lenses” (P. 106)
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. “Pixel Mapping - Checking the image processing functions” (P. 103)
Functions that cannot be selected from menus
Some items may not be selectable from the menus when using the arrow pad.
- Items that cannot be set with the current shooting mode.

Using external flash units designated for use with this camera
With this camera, you can use one of the separately sold external flash units to achieve a flash suited to your needs. The external flashes communicate with the camera, 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 the bracket 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.
Functions available with external flash units
| Optional flash | Flash control mode | GN (Guide number) (ISO100) | RC mode |

Wireless remote control flash photography
External flash units that are designated for use with this camera and have a remote control mode can be used for wireless flash photography. The camera can control the supplied flash unit and remote flash units in up to three separate groups. See the instruction manuals provided with the external flash units for details.
1 Set the remote flash units to RC mode and place them as desired.
- Turn the external flash units on, press the MODE button, and select RC mode.
- Select a channel and group for each external flash unit.
2 Select [On] for [↓ RC Mode] in ⏻ Shooting Menu 2 (P. 111).
• The super control panel switches to RC mode.
- You can choose a super control panel display by repeatedly pressing the INFO button.
- Select a flash mode (note that red-eye reduction is not available in RC mode).
3 Adjust the settings for each group in the super control panel.

text_image
Group • Select the flash control mode and adjust the flash intensity separately for each group. For MANUAL, select the flash intensity. Adjust settings for the camera flash unit. Flash intensity value A Mode TTL +5.0 3/FP Normal flash/Super FP flash • Switch between normal flash and Super FP flash. Communication light level • Set the communication light level to [HI], [MID], or [LO]. Channel • Set the communication channel to the same channel used on the flash. Flash control mode Flash intensity4 Attach the supplied flash unit and raise the flash head.
• After confirming that the built-in and remote flash units have charged, take a test shot.
■ Wireless flash control range
Position the wireless flash units with their remote sensors facing the camera. The following illustration shows the approximate ranges at which the flash units can be positioned. The actual control range varies with local conditions.

text_image
30° 60° 7m 50° 100° 50° 5m! 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 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 in remote 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 24V 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 and at 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 by adjusting 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.

- Do not cover the flash with a hand while firing.
CAUTION
- Stop using the camera immediately if you notice any unusual odors, noise, or smoke around it.
Never remove the batteries with bare hands, which may cause a fire or burn your hands.
- Never hold or operate the camera with wet hands.
- Do not leave the camera in places where it may be subject to extremely high temperatures.
Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate and, in some circumstances, cause the camera to catch fire.
Do not use the charger if it is covered (such as a blanket). This could cause overheating, resulting in fire.
- Handle the camera with care to avoid getting a low-temperature burn.
When the camera contains metal parts, overheating can result in a low-temperature burn. Pay attention to the following:
- When used for a long period, the camera will get hot. If you hold on to the camera in this state, a low temperature burn may be caused.
- In places subject to extremely cold temperatures, the temperature of the camera's body may be lower than the environmental temperature. If possible, wear gloves when handling the camera in cold temperatures.
- Be careful with the strap.
Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera. It could easily catch on stray objects - and cause serious damage.
Battery Handling Precautions
Follow these important guidelines to prevent batteries from leaking, overheating, burning, exploding, or causing electrical shocks or burns.
DANGER
- The camera uses a lithium ion battery specified by Olympus. Charge the battery with the specified charger. Do not use any other chargers.
• Never heat or incinerate batteries.

Caution for Usage Environment
- To protect the high-precision technology contained in this product, never leave the camera in the places listed below, no matter if in use or storage:
- Places where temperatures and/or humidity are high or go through extreme changes. Direct sunlight, beaches, locked cars, or near other heat sources (stove, radiator, etc.) or humidifiers.
• In sandy or dusty environments.
• Near flammable items or explosives. - In wet places, such as bathrooms or in the rain. When using products with weatherproof designs, read their manuals as well.
- In places prone to strong vibrations.
- Never drop the camera or subject it to severe shocks or vibrations.
- When mounted on a tripod, adjust the position of the camera with the tripod head. Do not twist the camera.
- Do not leave the camera pointed directly at the sun. This may cause lens or shutter curtain damage, color failure, ghosting on the image pickup device, or may possibly cause fires.
- Do not touch electric contacts on cameras and interchangeable lenses. Remember to attach the body cap when removing the lens.
- Before storing the camera for a long period, remove the battery. Select a cool, dry location for storage to prevent condensation or mold from forming inside the camera. After storage, test the camera by turning it on and pressing the shutter release button to make sure that it is operating normally.
- The camera may malfunction if it is used in a location where it is subject to a magnetic/electromagnetic field, radio waves, or high voltage, such as near a TV set, microwave, video game, loud speakers, large monitor unit, TV/radio tower, or transmission towers. In such cases, turn the camera off and on again before further operation.
• Always observe the operating environment restrictions described in the camera's manual. - Do not directly touch or wipe the image pickup device of the camera.
Monitor
The display on the rear of the camera is an LCD monitor.
- In the unlikely event that the monitor breaks, do not put the liquid crystal in your mouth. Any of the material adhering to your hands, feet, or clothing should be rinsed off immediately.
- A strip of light may appear on the top/bottom of the monitor, but this is not a malfunction.
- When a subject is viewed diagonally in the camera, the edges may appear zigzagged on the monitor. This is not a malfunction; it will be less noticeable in playback mode.
- In places subject to low temperatures, the monitor may take a long time to turn on or its color may change temporarily.
When using the camera in extremely cold places, it is a good idea to occasionally place it in a warm place. An monitor exhibiting poor performance due to low temperatures will recover in normal temperatures. - The monitor is made with high-precision technology. However, black spots or bright spots of light may appear constantly on the monitor.
Due to its characteristics or the angle at which you are viewing the monitor, the spot may not be uniform in color and brightness. This is not a malfunction.
Lens
- Do not immerse in water or splash with water.
- Do not drop or exert strong force on the lens.
- Do not hold at the moving part of the lens.
- Do not touch the lens surface directly.
- Do not touch the contact points directly.
