When shooting, note the following:

Image Quality

When you shoot at high ISO speeds, noise (such as dots of light and banding) may become noticeable.

Shooting in high temperatures may cause noise and irregular colors in the image. If you shoot continuously for a long period, the camera’s internal temperature may rise, and image quality may deteriorate. When you are not shooting, turn off the camera.

If you shoot a long exposure while the camera’s internal temperature is high, image quality may deteriorate. Stop shooting and wait a few minutes before shooting again.

Internal Temperature Warning <s> (in white) or <E> (in red)

After prolonged shooting or when shooting under a high ambient temperature, the camera’s internal temperature will increase and the white <s> icon or red <E> icon will appear in white or red on the screen. The white <s> icon indicates degraded still photo quality. It is recommended to temporarily stop shooting still photos until the camera’s internal temperature decreases.

The red <E> icon indicates that the power will soon turn off automatically. If this happens, you will not be able to shoot again until the camera’s internal temperature decreases. Turn off the power and let the camera rest for a while. Shooting for prolonged periods under high ambient temperatures will cause the <s> icon or <E> icon to appear earlier. When you are not shooting, turn off the camera.

Shooting high ISO speed images or long exposures while the camera’s internal temperature is high, may result in degraded image quality even if the white <s> icon does not appear on the screen.

Shooting Result

If you take the picture in magnified view, the exposure may not come out as desired. Return to the normal view before taking the picture. (During the magnified view, the shutter speed and aperture turn orange.) Even if you take the picture in magnified view, the image will be captured in the normal view. If [A3: Auto Lighting Optimizer] (p.159) is not set to [Disable], the image may look bright even if a decreased exposure compensation or decreased flash exposure compensation is set.

If you use a TS-E lens (other than the TS-E17mm f/4L or TS-E24mm f/3.5L II) and shift or tilt the lens or use an Extension Tube, the standard exposure may not be obtained or an irregular exposure may result.
