Getting to know your camera better

Taking pictures of a subject against backlight

If the background is too bright compared to the subject, the exposure will be affected at the

bright parts and the subject will appear darker. This is because the camera determines the

exposure from the brightness of the whole screen.

•Set [METERING] to [n] (spot metering) to measure the exposure of the subject in the center of

the picture. To change the composition, place the subject in the center of the picture. While

holding down the AFL button, change the composition and press the shutter button.

g“Metering mode k Changing the metering system” (P. 52)

• Activate the flash, set the flash mode to [#] (fill-in flash) and shoot the picture. You can shoot a

subject against backlight without the face of the subject appearing dark. [#] (fill-in flash) is used

for shooting against backlight and under fluorescent and other artificial lighting.

g“Setting the flash mode” (P. 39)

Image turns out too bright or too dark

When taking pictures in S mode or A mode, the shutter speed or aperture setting displayed

in the control panel screen or viewfinder may blink. A red display means that the correct

exposure cannot be obtained. If you take the picture as is, the picture will appear too bright or

too dark. If that happens, change the aperture setting or shutter speed.

g“A: Aperture priority shooting” (P. 31), “S: Shutter priority shooting” (P. 32)

Unknown bright dot(s) appear on the subject in the picture taken

This may be due to stuck pixel(s) on the image pickup device. Perform [PIXEL MAPPING]. If

the problem persists, repeat pixel mapping a few times. g“Pixel mapping k Checking the

image processing functions” (P. 99)

Additional shooting tips and information

Increasing the number of pictures that can be taken

The captured image will be recorded on the card. The following ways describe how to record

more images.

• Change the record mode.

The size of an image varies with the record mode. When you are not sure of the available card

capacity, change the image mode and shoot the picture. The smaller the [PIXEL COUNT] and

the bigger the [COMPRESSION], the smaller the size of the image becomes. You can select

both in [SQ] of the record mode. g“Selecting the record mode” (P. 50)

• Use a card with large capacity.

The number of recordable images varies with the capacity of the card. Use a card with large

capacity.

Using a new card

If you use a non-Olympus card or a card used for another application, such as for a

computer, the message [CARD ERROR] is displayed. To use this card with this camera, use

the [FORMAT] function to format the card. g“Formatting the card” (P. 100)

Extending the useful life of the battery

Performing any of the following operations when not actually taking pictures can deplete the

battery power.

• Repeatedly pressing the shutter button halfway

• Repeatedly playing back the captured images over a long period of time

• Using the live view function over a long period

To save battery power, turn off the camera whenever it is not in use.
