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 has not yet finished at the time the
second exposure is supposed to be started (2 seconds after
shooting has started), 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 [13 Interval Shooting Options] of the E2
menu so that every picture is taken at the set intervals after
each exposure ends. The screen displayed in Step 4 varies
depending on the [13 Interval Shooting Options] setting.
• For q and U, the focus position used when the first picture
is taken is locked. When performing autofocus for each
exposure, set [14 AF in Interval Shooting] to [Adjusts focus for
each shot] in the E2 menu.
• For U and w, set the camera on a fixed support such as
tripods during shooting.
• For V and w, [Shake Reduction] of the A4 menu is fixed to

Sensor Cleaning
Removing Dust with a Blower

• Please contact your nearest service center for professional
cleaning as the CMOS sensor is a precision part.
• You can use the optional Image Sensor Cleaning Kit O-ICK1
when cleaning the CMOS sensor.

Raise the mirror up and open the shutter when cleaning the
CMOS sensor with a blower.

1 Turn the camera off and remove the lens.
2 Turn the camera on.
3 Select [Sensor Cleaning] in D4 menu and press
D.

The [Sensor Cleaning] screen appears.

4 Select [Mirror Up] and press E.
The mirror rises up.

The mirror automatically returns to its original position.

u Caution
• Never use a spray blower or a blower with a brush. The
CMOS sensor may be damaged. Do not wipe the CMOS
sensor with a cloth.
• Do not put the tip of the blower inside the lens mount area. If
the power is turned off during cleaning, it may cause damage
to the shutter, the CMOS sensor, and the mirror. Hold the
camera with the lens mount down while cleaning the sensor
so dust will fall away from the sensor when the blower is used.
• When the battery level is low, the message [Not enough
battery power remaining to clean sensor] is displayed on the
monitor. Install a fully charged battery. If the battery capacity
becomes low during cleaning, a warning beep will sound. In
this case, stop cleaning immediately.

About the Camera
Warning

7
Appendix

• Do not disassemble or modify the camera. High voltage areas are
present inside the camera, with the risk of electric shock.
• If the camera interior is exposed due to dropping or otherwise damaging
the camera, never touch the exposed portion. There is a risk of electric
shock.
• Do not aim the camera at the sun or other strong light sources when
taking pictures or leave the camera sitting in direct sunlight with a lens
cap off. Doing so may cause the camera to malfunction or cause a fire.
• Do not look at the sun or other strong light sources through a lens. Doing
so may lead to a loss of eyesight or cause vision to be impaired.
• If any irregularities occur during use, such as smoke or a strange odor,
stop use immediately, remove the battery or the AC adapter, and contact
your nearest service center. Continued use can cause a fire or electric
shock.

Caution
• Do not place your finger over the flash when discharging the flash. You
may burn yourself.
• Do not cover the flash with clothing when discharging the flash.
Discoloration may occur.
• Some portions of the camera heat up during use. There is a risk of low
temperature burns when holding such portions for long periods.
• Should the monitor be damaged, be careful of glass fragments. Also, be
careful not to allow the liquid crystal to get on your skin or in your eyes
or mouth.
• Depending on your individual factors or physical condition, the use of the
camera may cause itching, rashes or blisters. In case of any
abnormality, stop using the camera and get medical attention
immediately.

126

About the Battery Charger and AC Adapter
Warning
• Always use the battery charger and AC adapter exclusively developed
for this camera, with the specified power and voltage. Using a battery
charger or AC adapter not exclusive to this camera, or using the
exclusive battery charger or AC adapter with an unspecified power or
voltage can cause a fire, electric shock, or camera breakdown. The
specified voltage is 100 - 240V AC.
• Do not disassemble or modify the product. This can cause a fire or
electric shock.
• If the generation of smoke or strange odor from the product or other
abnormality occurs, immediately discontinue using and consult your
nearest service center. Continued use can cause a fire or electric shock.
• If water should happen to get inside the product, consult your nearest
service center. Continued use can cause a fire or electric shock.
• If you see a lightning flash or hear thunder during use of the battery
charger or AC adapter, unplug the power plug and discontinue using.
Continued use can cause damage to the product, fire or electric shock.
• Wipe off the power plug if it should become covered with dust.
Accumulated dust may cause a fire.
• To reduce the risk of hazards, use only CSA/UL certified power supply
cord set, cord is Type SPT-2 or heavier, minimum NO.18 AWG copper,
one end with a molded-on male attachment plug cap (with a specified
NEMA configuration), and the other is provided with a molded-on female
connector body (with a specified IEC nonindustrial type configuration) or
the equivalent.

Caution
• Do not place or drop heavy objects on or forcefully bend the AC plug
cord. Doing so may damage the cord. Should the AC plug cord be
damaged, consult your nearest service center.
• Do not touch or short-circuit the terminal area of the AC plug cord while
the cord is plugged in.
• Do not handle the power plug with wet hands. This can cause an electric
shock.
• Do not drop the product, or subject it to violent impact. This can cause
the product to breakdown.
• Do not use the battery charger D-BC90 to charge batteries other than
the rechargeable lithium-ion battery D-LI90. Attempting to charge other
types of batteries may cause an explosion or heating, or may damage
the battery charger.

About the Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery

Care to be Taken During Handling

Warning
• If any leakage from the battery should come in contact with your eyes,
do not rub them. Flush your eyes with clean water and get medical
attention immediately.

Caution

Keep the Camera and its Accessories out of the
Reach of Small Children
Warning
• Do not place the camera and its accessories within the reach of small
children.
1. If the product falls or is operated accidentally, it may cause serious
personal injuries.
2. Wrapping the strap around a neck may cause suffocation.
3. To avoid the risk of a small accessory such as the battery or memory
cards from being swallowed by mistake, keep them out of the reach
of small children. Seek medical attention immediately if an accessory
is accidentally swallowed.

• When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still
working properly, particularly prior to taking important pictures (such as
at a wedding or when traveling). Contents of the recording cannot be
guaranteed if recording, playback or transferring your data to a
computer, etc. is not possible due to a malfunction of your camera or
recording media (memory cards), etc.

About the Battery and Charger
• 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-BC90. Do not use it with other devices.

Precautions on Carrying and Using Your Camera
• 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.
• Sudden temperature changes will cause condensation on the inside and
outside of the camera. Place the camera in your bag or a plastic bag,
and remove it after temperatures of the camera and surroundings are
equalized.
• Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salt.
These could cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe the camera to dry
off any rain or water drops.
• Do not press on the monitor with excessive force. This could cause it to
break or malfunction.
• Be careful not to overtighten the screw in the tripod socket when using
a tripod.

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES003 (B).
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt

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-1 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.

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-1 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.

Pour les utilisateurs au Canada
Industrie Canada (IC) Avis de Conformité
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme
NMB-003 (B) du Canada.
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.
