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.

“Formatting the card” (P. 118)
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.
Functions that cannot be selected from menus
Some items may not be selectable from the menus when using the arrow pad.
Items that cannot be set with the current shooting mode.
Items that cannot be set because of an item that has already been set:
Combination of
[
j
]
and
[NOISE REDUCT.]
, etc.
Cannot use the Imager AF
Imager AF is available only when using compatible lenses. For the latest information about
Olympus lenses compatible with Imager AF, visit the Olympus website.
Selecting the optimal record mode
Record modes are divided into 2 main types: RAW and JPEG. RAW records without reflecting
the settings for white balance, contrast, etc. on the images themselves. JPEG records as
images that reflect these settings. JPEG also compresses images to reduce the file size when
recording them. For JPEG, you can register four combinations of images sizes (
Y
,
X
,
W
) and
compression rates (SF, F, N, B) from the 12 total combinations available. The higher the
compression rate, the grainier the image will appear when enlarged during display. A rough
guide for selection is shown below.

To restore functions to their settings at the time of purchase
The settings are saved even when the power is switched off.
To return to the factory default settings, set
[RESET]
under
[CUSTOM RESET]
(even so, the
settings of some functions, like the
[CONTRAST]
settings, will be saved nonetheless). You
can register up to two types of settings to be reset. Set various functions of the camera and
register using
[RESET1]
or
[RESET2]
under
[CUSTOM RESET]
.
