• For q and U, a new folder is created and the captured

• The shortest time that can be set for [Interval] is 5 seconds
when [Digital Filter], [Clarity], or [Skin Tone] is set, and 10
seconds when [HDR Capture] is set.
• The second and later exposures start at the intervals set in
[Interval]. If the exposure time is longer than the time set in
[Interval], some of the pictures that are supposed to be taken
at the set intervals are not actually taken. For example, if the
time set in [Interval] is 2 seconds and the exposure time is 3
seconds, the first exposure does not end at the time the
second exposure is supposed to start (2 seconds after the
start of shooting), and so the second picture is not taken. As
a result, Interval Shooting ends before the specified number
of shots are taken. In such cases, you can set [Standby
Interval] in [12 Interval Shooting Options] of the E2 menu so
that pictures are taken at the set intervals after each exposure
ends. The screen displayed in Step 4 varies depending on the
[12 Interval Shooting Options] setting.
• For q and U, the focus position used when the first picture
is taken is locked. In order to perform autofocus for each
exposure, set [13 AF in Interval Shooting] to [Adjusts focus for

• To keep the battery in optimum condition, avoid storing it in a fully
charged state or in high temperatures.
• If the battery is left inserted and the camera is not used for a long time,
the battery will over-discharge and shorten the battery’s life.
• Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is
recommended.
• The AC plug cord provided with this camera is developed exclusively for
the battery charger D-BC109. Do not use it with other devices.
• Do not subject the camera to high temperatures or high humidity. Do not
leave the camera in a vehicle, as the temperature can get very high.
• Do not subject the camera to strong vibrations, shocks, or pressure. Use
a cushion to protect the camera from vibrations of motorcycles,
automobiles, or ships.
• The temperature range for camera use is -10°C to 40°C (14°F to 104°F).
• The monitor may appear black at high temperatures, but will return to
normal at normal temperatures.
• The monitor may respond more slowly at low temperatures. This is due
to liquid crystal properties, and is not a malfunction.
Cleaning Your Camera
• Do not clean the camera with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol,
and benzine.
• Use a lens brush to remove dust accumulated on a lens. Never use a
spray blower for cleaning as it may damage the lens.

For customers in Canada
Industry Canada (IC) Compliance Notice
Pour les utilisateurs au Canada
Industrie Canada (IC) Avis de Conformité
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES003 (B).
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme
NMB-003 (B) du Canada.
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt
RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada
applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence.
L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes :
(1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage
radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en
compromettre le fonctionnement.
Les connaissances scientifiques dont nous disposons n’ont mis
en évidence aucun problème de santé associé à l’usage des
appareils sans fil à faible puissance. Nous ne sommes
cependant pas en mesure de prouver que ces appareils sans fil
à faible puissance sont entièrement sans danger. Les appareils
sans fil à faible puissance émettent une énergie fréquence
radioélectrique (RF) très faible dans le spectre des micro-ondes
lorsqu’ils sont utilisés. Alors qu’une dose élevée de RF peut
avoir des effets sur la santé (en chauffant les tissus),
l’exposition à de faibles RF qui ne produisent pas de chaleur n’a
pas de mauvais effets connus sur la santé. De nombreuses
études ont été menées sur les expositions aux RF faibles et
n’ont découvert aucun effet biologique. Certaines études ont
suggéré qu’il pouvait y avoir certains effets biologiques, mais
ces résultats n’ont pas été confirmés par des recherches
supplémentaires. Le K-70 a été testé et jugé conforme aux
limites d’exposition aux rayonnements IC énoncées pour un
environnement non contrôlé et respecte les règles d’exposition
aux fréquences radioélectriques (RF) CNR-102 de l’IC.

Appendix
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health
problems are associated with using low power wireless devices.
There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless
devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit
low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave
range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce
health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that
does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse
health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not
found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that
some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not
been confirmed by additional research. The K-70 has been
tested and found to comply with IC radiation exposure limits set
forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets RSS-102 of the
IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.
