When using the electronic shutter, note the following:
- Distortion may be visible in shots of moving subjects.
- Distortion may also be visible in hand-held shots taken at high shutter speeds; use of a tripod is recommended.
- Banding and fog may occur in shots taken under fluorescent lights or other flickering or erratic illumination.
- When taking pictures with the shutter muted (a[SHUTTER VOLUME]), respect your subjects' image rights and right to privacy.
When using the electronic front-curtain shutter, note the following:
- Faster shutter speeds are more likely to result in uneven exposure and loss of resolution in out-of-focus areas of the frame.
The following restrictions apply when the electronic shutter is used:
- Sensitivity is restricted to values of ISO 12800–125.
- Long exposure noise reduction has no effect
- The flash will not fire unless pixel-shift multi-shot is enabled.

The display can be activated at any time by pressing the shutter button.
The indicator lamp blinks green whenever the displays are off during interval-timer photography.
To continue shooting until the number of shots taken equals the number of exposures remaining at the time interval-timer photography started, set the number of shots to ∞.
[INTERVAL TIMER SHOOTING EXPOSURE SMOOTHING]
Select [ON] to automatically adjust exposure during interval-timer photography to prevent it changing dramatically between shots.
Options | |
---|---|
[ON] | [OFF] |
Large changes in subject brightness may make exposure appear erratic. We recommend that you choose shorter values for [INTERVAL TIMER SHOOTING] > [INTERVAL] with subjects that brighten or dim dramatically during shooting.
In manual mode (mode [M]), exposure smoothing is only available if an [A] (auto) option is selected for sensitivity.
[INTERVAL PRIORITY MODE]

The following limitations apply to the use of the pixel-shift multi-shot option:
- Pixel-shift multi-shot photography can only be performed using the electronic shutter.
- Sensitivity is restricted to a maximum of ISO 1600. Choosing higher values or a setting of [AUTO] results in a sensitivity of ISO 1600, while lower values remain unchanged.
- The only option available for [RAW RECORDING] is [LOSSLESS COMPRESSED].
- Pictures taken with [C] (AF-C) selected for focus mode will be shot in focus mode [S] (AF-S). Pictures taken with [S] (AF-S) or [M] (manual) selected are shot in the chosen focus mode.
- If the subject or camera moves during shooting, the desired results may not be achieved when the shots are combined.
- A[SHOOTING SETTING] > [FLICKER REDUCTION] is automatically set to [OFF].
- The value selected for exposure compensation applies to all 20 shots.
