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.

$ Noise
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

Press the R button again to end recording.
The sound of touch operations and button operations may be recorded.
CMOS image sensors of the type used in the camera generate a so-called “rolling
shutter” effect that can cause distortion in pictures of moving objects. This distortion is
a phenomenon that occurs in pictures of fast-moving subjects or if the camera is moved
during shooting. It is particularly noticeable in pictures taken at long focal lengths.
If the size of the movie le being recorded exceeds 4 GB, the le will be split
automatically. (Depending on shooting conditions, movies under 4 GB in size may be split
into multiple les.)
When recording movies, use an SD card that supports an SD speed class of 10 or higher.
A UHS-II or UHS-I card with a UHS speed class of 3 or better is required when:
a movie resolution of [4K] or [C4K] is selected in the [nK] menu or a bit rate of [A-I]
(All-Intra) is selected in the [nK] menu
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.
When using a Four Thirds system lens, the AF will not operate while recording movies.
• The R button cannot be used to record movies in the following instances:
During multiple exposure (still photography also ends.), while shutter button is pressed
halfway, during bulb/time photography, during sequential shooting, during time lapse
shooting, in B mode, during sheye correction
• When (high-speed movie recording) is selected for [nK], movies shot with
[i-Enhance], [e-Portrait], or an art lter selected for picture mode will be recorded in
[Natural] mode.

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.
AE BKT (AE bracketing)
The camera varies the exposure of each shot. You can select
the bracketing increment from 0.3 EV, 0.7 EV, and 1.0 EV. In
single-frame shooting mode, one photograph is taken each
time the shutter button is pressed all the way down, while in
sequential shooting mode the camera continues to take shots
in the following order while the shutter button is pressed all the
way down: no modi cation, negative, positive. Number of shots:
2, 3, 5, or 7
The camera modi es exposure by varying aperture and shutter speed (P mode), shutter
speed (A and M modes), or aperture (S mode). If [All] is selected for [ISO-Auto] (P. 169)
in M mode and [AUTO] is selected for [ISO] (P. 70, 80), the camera modi es
exposure by varying ISO sensitivity.
The camera brackets the value currently selected for exposure compensation.
The size of the bracketing increment changes with the value selected for [EV Step].

shot, starting with the value currently selected for white balance.
White balance can be varied by 2, 4, or 6 steps on each of
the A – B (Red– Blue) and G – M (Green – Magenta) axes.
The camera brackets the value currently selected for white
balance compensation.
WB bracketing cannot be combined with ART or focus bracketing.
FL BKT (FL bracketing)
The camera varies ash level over three shots (no modi cation
on the rst shot, negative on the second, and positive on the
third). The amount can be chosen from 0.3, 0.7, and 1.0 EV. In
single-frame shooting, one shot is taken each time the shutter
button is pressed; in sequential shooting, all shots are taken
while the shutter button is pressed.
The size of the bracketing increment changes with the value
selected for [EV Step]. g [EV Step] (P. 169)

ISO BKT (ISO bracketing)
The camera varies the sensitivity over three shots while keeping
the shutter speed and aperture xed. You can select the
bracketing increment from 0.3 EV, 0.7 EV, and 1.0 EV. Each
time the shutter button is pressed, the camera shoots three
frames with the set sensitivity (or if auto sensitivity is selected,
the optimal sensitivity setting) on the rst shot, negative
modi cation on the second shot, and positive modi cation on
the third shot.
The size of the bracketing increment does not change with the value selected for [ISO

Each time the shutter is released, the camera records multiple
images, each with a different art lter setting. You can turn art
lter bracketing on or off separately for each picture mode.
Recording may take some time.
With the exceptions of AE and FL bracketing, ART bracketing

Choose how rapidly the camera responds to changes in the distance to the subject
while focusing with [C-AF] or [C-AF+TR] selected for [K AF Mode]. This can help
autofocus track a quickly-moving subject or prevent the camera refocusing when an
object passes between the subject and the camera.
• Choose from ve levels of tracking sensitivity.
The higher the value, the higher the sensitivity. Choose positive values for subjects that
suddenly enter the frame, that are moving rapidly away from the camera, or that change
speed or stop suddenly while moving toward or away from the camera.
The lower the value, the lower the sensitivity. Choose negative values to prevent the
camera refocusing when the subject is brie y obscured by other objects or to prevent the
camera focusing on the background when you are unable to keep the subject in the AF
target.

• Wireless ash photography is not available in anti-shock mode or in rear-curtain slow sync
mode when a shutter speed slower than 4 s is selected.
Start wait times longer than 4 s cannot be selected in anti-shock and silent modes.
Flash control signals may interfere with exposure if subject is too close to the camera.
This can be mitigated by reducing the brightness of the camera ash, for example by
using a diffuser.
Other external ash units
Note the following when using a third-party ash unit mounted on the camera hot shoe:
• Using obsolete ash units that apply currents of more than about 24 V to the X-contact will
damage the camera.
• Connecting ash units with signal contacts that do not conform to Olympus speci cations
may damage the camera.
Set the Shooting mode to M, set the shutter speed to a value no higher than ash
synchronous speed, and set ISO sensitivity to a setting other than [AUTO].
Flash control can only be performed by manually setting the ash 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 ash with an angle of illumination suited to the lens. Angle of illumination is usually
expressed using 35-mm format equivalent focal lengths.

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. 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 pickup device and image processing circuitry. Since dust reduction
is activated every time the camera’s power is turned on, the camera should be held
upright for the dust reduction function to be effective.
Pixel Mapping - Checking the image processing functions
The pixel mapping feature allows the camera to check and adjust the image pickup
device and image processing functions. After using the monitor or taking continuous
shots, wait for at least one minute before using the pixel mapping function to ensure
that it operates correctly.

stop, then press the shutter button.
Unable to focus
The camera cannot focus on subjects that are too close to the camera or that are not
suited to autofocus (the AF con rmation 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 dif cult to focus on
It may be dif cult to focus with auto focus in the following situations.

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].
g [Noise Reduct.] (P. 169)
The number of AF targets is reduced
The size and number of the AF target changes depending on the [Digital Tele-converter]
(P. 130), [Image Aspect] (P. 87), and group target (P. 65) settings.
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. g “Initial setup” (P. 27)
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 canceled 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
Options selected in AUTO (B) or SCN mode are reset when the mode dial is rotated to
another setting or the camera is turned off. In addition, selecting C mode restores custom
mode settings.
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 are 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.
g “Interchangeable lenses” (P. 212)
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 the
image processing functions” (P. 223)
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.
Items that cannot be set because of an item that has already been set:
Combinations of [T] (P. 71) and [Noise Reduct.] (P. 169), etc.

The subject appears distorted
The following functions use an electronic shutter:
movie recording (P. 58), silent mode (P. 74), Pro Capture shooting (P. 74), High Res
Shot (P. 76), focus bracketing (P. 134), focus stacking (P. 134)
This may cause distortion if the subject is moving rapidly or the camera is moved abruptly.
Avoid moving the camera abruptly during shooting or use standard sequential shooting.
Lines appear in photographs
The following functions use an electronic shutter, which may result in lines due to icker and
other phenomena associated with uorescent and LED lighting, an effect that can sometimes
be reduced by choosing slower shutter speeds:
movie recording (P. 58), silent mode (P. 74), Pro Capture shooting (P. 74), High Res
Shot (P. 76), focus bracketing (P. 134), focus stacking (P. 134)
Flicker can be reduced by choosing slower shutter speeds. You can also reduce icker using
icker scan. g [K Flicker Scan] (P. 194), [n Flicker Scan] (P. 148)

Monitor
Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise
the image may become vague, resulting in
a playback mode failure or damage to the
monitor.
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. The monitor exhibiting
poor performance due to low temperatures
will recover in normal temperatures.
The monitor of this product is manufactured
with high-quality accuracy, however, there
may be a stuck or dead pixel on the monitor.
These pixels do not have any in uence
on the image to be saved. Because of the
characteristics, the unevenness of the color
or brightness may also be found depending
on the angle, but this is due to the structure
of the monitor. This is not a malfunction.
