Program Shift Without changing exposure, you can choose from different combinations of aperture and shutter speed selected automatically by the camera. This is known as program shift. 1. Rotate the rear dial until the camera displays the desired combination of aperture and shutter speed. The shooting mode indicator in the display changes from P S-IS AUTO ISO-A 200 to Ps while program shift is in effect. To end program shift, rotate the rear dial in the opposite direction until only P is displayed.

Choosing aperture (A: Aperture-Priority AE) In this mode, you choose the aperture (f/-number) and the camera automatically sets the shutter speed for optimal exposure according to subject brightness. Lower aperture values (larger apertures) reduce the depth of the area that appears to be in focus (depth of field), blurring the background. Higher aperture values (smaller apertures) increase the depth of the area that appears to be in focus in front of and behind the subject. F2.8 F4.0 F5.

Choosing shutter speed (S: Shutter-Priority AE) In this mode, you choose the shutter speed and the camera automatically sets aperture for optimal exposure according to subject brightness. Faster shutter speeds appear to “freeze” fast-moving subjects. Slower shutter speeds add blur to moving objects, lending them a sense of motion for a dynamic effect.

Varying settings over a series of photographs (Bracketing) Bracketing is used to vary shooting settings such as exposure and white balance over a series of shots. Depending on the setting, you may be able to combine several different forms of bracketing. Use bracketing if you are unsure what settings to use or lack the time needed to change settings during shooting. You can also store bracketing settings and later recall them simply by turning bracketing on.

Taking HDR (High Dynamic Range) images (HDR) The camera varies exposure over a series of shots, selects from each tone range with the highest level of detail, and combines them to create a single picture with a wide dynamic range.

Cautions Information about Dust and Water Resistant Features This camera has a water resistant specification of IPX3 (when used in combination with an IPX3 or higher water resistant lens supplied by our company). This camera has a dust resistant specification of IP5X (under our company’s test conditions). Precautions Dust and water resistant capabilities may be lost when the camera is subjected to shock.
PAGE 426
Batteries The camera uses our lithium-ion battery. Never use any battery other than our genuine batteries. The camera’s power consumption varies widely with usage and other conditions. As the following consume a lot of power even without shooting, the battery will be drained quickly. - Performing auto focus repeatedly by pressing the shutter button halfway in shooting mode. - Displaying images on the monitor for a prolonged period. - When connected to a computer. - Leaving wireless LAN/Bluetooth® enabled.
PAGE 427
Using your USB-AC adapter abroad The USB-AC adapter 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 USB-AC adapter may require a plug adapter to match the wall outlet. Do not use third-party travel adapters as the USB-AC adapter may malfunction.
PAGE 428
Information Interchangeable lenses Choose a lens according to the scene and your creative intent. Use lenses designed exclusively for the Micro Four Thirds system and bearing the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL label or the symbol shown here. With an adapter, you can also use Four Thirds System lenses. The optional adapter is required. When you attach or remove the body cap and lens from the camera, keep the lens mount on the camera pointed downward.
PAGE 429
MF Clutch Lenses The “MF clutch” (manual focus clutch) mechanism on MF clutch lenses can be used to switch between auto and manual focus simply by repositioning the focus ring. Check the position of the MF clutch before shooting. Sliding the focus ring to the AF/MF position at the end of the lens selects autofocus, while sliding it to the MF position closer to the camera body selects manual focus, regardless of the focus mode chosen with the camera. 1 AF/MF 1 2 MF AF/MF 16 5 3 ∞ mm 1 2 0.5 11 8 5.6 5.

Camera Displays for Lens SET and CALL Functions The camera displays “SETN” when the focus position is saved using the SET option and “CALLN” when a saved focus position is restored using the CALL option. For more information on SET and CALL, see the lens manual. SET CALL S-IS AUTO S-IS AUTO ISO-A 200 ISO-A 200 YF YF 4K 4K 30p P 250 F5.6 0.0 30p 1:02:03 P 1023 430 250 F5.6 0.

PAGE 437
Flash control signals may interfere with exposure if the subject is too close to the camera. This can be mitigated by reducing the brightness of the camera flash, for example by using a diffuser. 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.

Inspecting and Cleaning the Image Sensor This camera incorporates a dust reduction function to keep dust from getting on the image sensor and to remove any dust or dirt from the image sensor 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 sensor and image processing circuitry.
