Focal-plane shutter : 1/8000 - 60 sec., with selectable EV adjustment steps (1/3, 1/2, 1)
Live Bulb / Live Time: selectable exposure time (1 / 2 / 4 / 8 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 min.), with 8-min. default setting. Live
Composite: maximum shooting time 3 hours
Electronic first curtain shutter (Anti-shock mode) : 1/320 - 60 sec.
Electronic shutter (Silent mode) : 1/32000 - 60 sec.
(still) Flicker scan: 1/7634 - 1/50.0 sec.
(movie) Flicker scan: 1/250 - 1/30.0[*] sec.
*50fps movie: 1/50.0 sec., 60fps movie: 1/60.0sec., High speed video: 1/120.0sec.
Sequential Shooting Maximum Speed
[Sequential shooting H] approx. 10 fps with selectable 5 -10 fps
[Sequential shooting L] approx. 6fps with selectable 1-6 fps
[Anti-shock sequential shooting L] approx. 5.5 fps with selectable 1-6 fps
[Silent sequential shooting H] approx. 30 fps with selectable 15, 20, 30 fps
[Silent sequential shooting L] approx. 10 fps with selectable 1-10fps
[Pro Capture H] approx. 30 fps with selectable 15, 20, 30fps
[Pro Capture L] approx. 10 fps
*When using the M.ZUIKO Digital ED 12-40mm F2.8 PRO
*Maximum sequential shooting speed may be affected by several factors including lens used, brightness, aperture,
shutter speed, and ISO setting.
*When in Pro Capture mode, slower shutter speeds and flash cannot be used.
*Pro Capture L is available when an M.ZUIKO lens or lens without communication capability is attached. (Auto-
focus is not available for lenses without communication capability).
*In Pro Capture Sequential L, the minimum aperture is F8.
*When ISO is 8000 or above, the maximum sequential shooting speed is 30 fps, and the actual shooting speed may
become slower than the set shooting speed by a few frames per second. When using ISO Bracketing, performance
will be affected at ISO 2000 or above.
*Focus and exposure are fixed at the values of the first shot when using sequential shoo
