Carry spare batteries when you use the camera in a cold environment,

on a field trip, or when taking many pictures at one time.

ENVIRONMENT

 Your camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to

physical shock.

 This camera benefits from a dust and splash proof construction. Although

this construction enables the lens to be used under light rain, it is not the

same as being water proof. Please pay attention to prevent a large

amount of water from splashing on the camera, especially when using it

by a waterside. It is often impractical to repair the internal mechanism

and electric components if damaged by water.

 Do not leave the camera in a dusty, hot, or highly humid environment for

a long period of time.

 If the camera is moved from a cold place to a warm room, water droplets

may appear on the camera. Please keep the camera in a bag until it is

acclimatized to the ambient room temperature.

 The camera will work within a temperature range between 0˚C/32˚F and

+40˚C/104˚F and humidity less than 85% (no condensation). However, in

cold temperatures below 0˚C, the power performance of the battery is

reduced. Please carry a spare battery in these circumstances, and keep

the batteries warm.

 Static electricity or magnetic fields may affect the operation of the camera.

If such exposure occurs, please remove the battery from the camera and

re- insert it, to reset the camera’s microprocessors.

DURING PROLONGED USE

 Although there are cases where the surface of camera gets hot, this is not

a malfunction.

 If you use the camera for an extended period of time, the camera may get

hot and the warning mark ( ) will be displayed. If the camera gets too

heat, a warning message will be displayed and the camera will turn off

automatically.

 If the camera turns off, please leave it switched off for more than ten

minutes to lower its temperature.

 Image quality may lower when the camera gets hot. If the warning mark

( ) is displayed, we recommend turning off the camera and wait until the

temperature of the camera becomes lower.

SD MEMORY CARD

modes of the camera are explained below.

WARNING !!

 In this section, the instruction is written on the assumption that [DIAL

EXPOSURE COMPENSATION] (P.89) [and SWITCH DIAL

FUNCTIONS] (P.141) of [ Capture Settings] (P.31 are) in the initial

setting. If the actual proceedings disagree with the description in this

section, refer to the corresponding section for [DIAL EXPOSURE

COMPENSATION] or [SWITCH DIAL FUNCTIONS] as needed.

SELECTING THE EXPOSURE MODE

Press the button.

(In the Viewfinder, the mode selection is

displayed on the bottom of the LCD

monitor.)

Select the desired exposure mode by

using the Front and Rear Dials, or press

the buttons.

Press the button or shutter button

“half-way” to return to shooting mode.

P PROGRAM AE

To make picture taking easier, the camera will automatically select an

appropriate combination of shutter speed and aperture value, according to

the brightness of the subject.

Set the Exposure Mode to the P position.

(In the Viewfinder, the exposure indicator

is illuminated in green.)

Press the shutter button “half-way” to

verify the focus and take the picture.

WARNING !!

 When is shown on the color LCD monitor, camera shake may

occur (a slow shutter speed is set). If this mark is displayed, please use

the flash (P.104) or a tripod.

 If the subject is too bright or dark, both shutter speed and aperture value

indicators will blink and will show the limit values. If you take a picture

with these settings, the picture will be overexposed or underexposed.

PROGRAM SHIFT

You can change the combination of shutter

speed and aperture value, which were

automatically selected by the camera.

While turning the Front Dial, the

combination of shutter speed and aperture

value will change within the range of

combinations that give the equivalent

exposure.

 It will be canceled automatically, after

taking the picture.

A APERTURE PRIORITY AE

After you set the aperture, the camera will determine the appropriate

shutter speed. If you select smaller apertures, depth of field will be greater.

Larger apertures tend to blur the background, as depth of field will be

shallower.

Set the Exposure Mode to the A position.

(In the Viewfinder, the aperture value

indicator is illuminated in green.)

Set the desired aperture value by rotating

the Front Dial.

Press the shutter button “half-way” to

verify the focus and take the picture.

WARNING !!

 When is shown on the color LCD monitor, camera shake may

occur (a slow shutter speed is set). If this mark is displayed, please use

the flash (P.104) or a tripod.

 If the appropriate shutter speed is outside the range of suitable

combinations due to the subject being too bright or too dark, the shutter

speed indicator will blink. If the subject is too bright, set the aperture

value to a smaller one (larger F-number). If the subject is too dark, set

the aperture value to a larger one (smaller F number) until the indicat- or

stops blinking.

S SHUTTER SPEED PRIORITY AE

When you set the desired shutter speed, the camera will select the

appropriate aperture value for correct exposure. You can achieve stop

action effects by selecting a fast shutter speed, or give the feeling of motion

to a moving subject by selecting a slow shutter speed.

Set the Exposure Mode to the S position.

(In the Viewfinder, the shutter speed value

is illuminated in green.)

Set the desired shutter speed by rotating

the Front Dial.

Press the shutter button “half-way” to

verify the focus and take the picture.

WARNING !!

 If the appropriate aperture value is beyond the range of the lens in use,

due to the subject being too bright or too dark, the aperture value

indicator will blink. If the subject is too bright, set the shutter speed to a

faster one, or if the subject is too dark, set the shutter speed to a slower

one, until the indicator stops blinking.

M MANUAL EXPOSURE

Set both the shutter speed and aperture value according to the indication of

the exposure meter. You can change the exposure, as you desire.

Set the Exposure Mode to the M position.

(In the Viewfinder, the shutter speed is

illuminated in orange. The aperture value

indicator is illuminated in green.)

exposure error is more than three stops,

the exposure meter will blink.

Press the shutter button “half-way” to verify the focus and take the picture.

LCD DISPLAY IN M MODE

When the exposure is set as M mode, the LCD Display reflects the

selected exposure on the screen so that photographers can confirm how

the actual image will look. When the exposure is under, it becomes darker,

and when it is over, it becomes brighter.

When you shoot images in M mode while using the flashguns from other

companies, the display would be dark, and make it difficult to check the

details of the image, such as the focus point and composition. In this case,

it is recommended to change the setting to [Off], and adjust the brightness

of the image on screen.

Select from [ Capture Settings] (P.31) → [Preview Exposure in M

Mode].

Off

Brightness of the LCD Display is automatically adjusted

for better visibility.

When you want to include yourself in the picture or avoid camera shake,

please use the self-timer.

Self Timer 2 sec

The shutter will be released 2 seconds after the shutter button is fully

depressed.

Self Timer 10 sec

The shutter will be released 10 seconds after the shutter button is fully

depressed.

After composing the picture, press the shutter button “half-way” and adjust

the focusing. Then, press the shutter button the rest of the way and the

self-timer will activate. During the self-timer operation you will hear an

electronic beeping sound. The beeping sound will be much faster during

the last two seconds, before the shutter is released.
