Use this manual if you encounter any problems, or have any questions about your product.

Pixel Shift Multi Shooting

You can create images with a higher resolution than is possible with regular shooting by recording

four or sixteen RAW images and then combining them on a computer. This is helpful when shooting

still subjects such as works of art or architecture.

Auto Switch Media

If you use two memory-card slots, you can automatically switch to recording with the other memory

card when the memory card in use becomes full.
