2 Tips before you start taking pictures
Tips before you start
taking pictures
Your pictures are almost guaranteed to
come out well just by setting your camera to
the
P shooting scene mode and pressing
the shutter button. Occasionally however
you may need to focus on a difficult subject
or adjust the brightness in order to get the
picture to come out how you wanted...
Just knowing which button to press or which
setting to change can help you solve these
problems.
Did you know that by selecting an image
size according to how you are planning on
using the pictures afterwards, you can store
more pictures on the memory card? These
are just some of the hints provided in this
chapter.

Tips before you start taking pictures
Holding the camera
Sometimes when you look at a picture you have taken, the outline of the
subject is blurred. This is often caused by movement of the camera at the
precise moment that the shutter button is pressed.
Picture where subject is not clearly defined
To prevent the camera from moving, hold the camera firmly with both
hands while keeping your elbows at your sides. When taking pictures
with the camera in the vertical position, hold the camera so that the flash
is positioned higher than the lens. Keep your fingers and the strap away
from the lens and flash.
Horizontal grip Vertical grip
Top view
Do not hold this part of the lens.

Tips before you start taking pictures

If correct focus cannot be obtained
The camera automatically detects the focus target in the frame. The level
of contrast is one of the criteria it uses to detect the subject. The camera
may fail to determine subjects with lower contrast than the surroundings or
with an area of extremely strong contrast in the frame. If this happens, the
simplest solution is to use the focus lock.
1 Position the AF target mark on
the subject you want to focus on.
• When shooting a hard-to-focus subject
or a fast-moving subject, point the
camera at an object about the same
distance away as the subject.
2 Press the shutter button halfway
until the green lamp lights.
• When the focus and exposure are
locked, the green lamp lights.
• When the green lamp blinks:
c You are too close to the subject take
the picture at least 50 cm/20". away
from the subject. When the distance from the camera to the subject is
less than 50 cm/20", select the macro mode. g“Taking close-up
pictures (macro/super macro mode)” (P.39)
d The focus and exposure are not locked. Release your finger from the
shutter button, re-position the AF target mark on the subject and press
the shutter button halfway again.

3 Keeping the shutter button
pressed halfway, recompose

4 Press the shutter button fully.
Under certain types of conditions, the auto focus may not work properly.
If this happens, focus on an object with high contrast at the same distance as the
intended subject (focus lock), recompose your shot and then take the picture. If the
subject has no vertical lines, hold the camera vertically and focus the camera using
the focus lock function by pressing the shutter button halfway, then return the
camera to the horizontal position while keeping the button pressed halfway and take
the picture.

Focus on the subject in the center of the frame.

Record mode
You can select a record mode in which to take pictures or shoot movies.
Select the best record mode for your purpose (printing, editing on a
computer, website editing, etc.). For information on the image sizes for
each record mode and the memory capacity of the card, see the table on
P.26.
Record mode depicts the image size and compression rate of pictures you wish to
record.
Pictures are made from thousands of dots (pixels). If a picture with relatively few
pixels is enlarged, it looks like a mosaic. A picture with many pixels is denser and
clearer, but requires a larger file size (data size), decreasing the number of pictures
that can be saved on a card. Increasing the compression rate reduces the file size,
but makes the pictures appear grainy.
(Normal image modes
Image size

Tips before you start taking pictures
TIPS
• When a picture is transferred to a computer, the size of the picture on the
computer screen varies depending on the computer’s monitor setting. For
instance, a picture taken with an image size of 1,024 × 768 fills as the screen
if you set the picture to 1× when the monitor setting is 1,024 × 768. However, if
the monitor setting is over 1,024 × 768 (such as 1,280 × 1,024), the picture only
takes up part of the screen.
• The number of storable still pictures/recording time is displayed on the monitor
when a card is inserted in the camera.
Note
• The number of storable still pictures and movie recording times listed in the
table are approximate.
• The number of storable still pictures may change according to the subject or
factors like whether print reservations have been made or not. In certain
instances, the number of remaining pictures does not change even when you
take pictures or erase stored images.
• If movies are shot with [VIDEO OUT] set to [PAL] and the AV cable connected,
the movie recording time will differ from the time listed in the “Card capacity in
number of pictures/recording time” table.

3 Basic shooting functions
A professional photographer adjusts the
exposure to the optimal setting, chooses the
best focusing method and even selects the
type of film according to the subject.
With a digital camera, you don’t need to
learn how to make them. Your camera will
adjust the settings for you! All you have to
do is choose a scene mode, whether you
are taking a landscape, a night scene, a
portrait-style image or whatever, and the
camera will set the best exposure and white
balance.
There’s nothing to it – just press the shutter
button!

Zooming in on a distant subject
You can zoom in on your subject using the optical zoom and digital zoom.
With the optical zoom, the image is enlarged by using the CCD when the
lens magnification is changed, and the image is formed by all the CCD
pixels. With the digital zoom, the area at the center of the image captured
by the CCD is cropped and enlarged back to size. When you zoom in on
a subject, you are essentially taking a small area of the picture and making
it bigger. Therefore, the greater the magnification with the digital zoom, the
grainier the resulting picture will be.
The following zoom magnifications are available on this camera.
Optical zoom 3× (equivalent to 35 mm to 105 mm on a
35 mm film camera)
Digital zoom 4×
Optical zoom + digital zoom Max. 12×

close as 20 cm/8" to your subject, you can fill the entire frame with a 7.0 × 5.3
cm (2.8" × 2.1") subject.
% This mode lets you shoot from as close as 7 cm/2.8" to your subject. Subjects
measuring approximately 2.7 × 2.0 cm (1.0" × 0.8") can be captured on the

Flash shooting
Select the flash mode best suited to the light conditions and the effect you want to
achieve. You can also adjust the amount of light emitted using the flash intensity control.
Flash working range
W (max.): Approx. 20 cm to 4.2 m (0.7 ft. to 13.8 ft.)
T (max.): Approx. 20 cm to 2.6 m (0.7 ft. to 8.5 ft.)
Auto-flash (No indication)
The flash fires automatically in low light or backlight conditions.
Red-eye reduction flash (!)
The light from the flash may make the
subject’s eyes appear red in the picture.
The red-eye reduction flash mode
reduces this phenomenon by emitting
pre-flashes before firing the regular flash.
Fill-in flash (#)
The flash fires regardless of the available light.
This mode is useful for eliminating shadows on
the subject’s face (such as shadows from tree
leaves), in a backlight situation, or for
correcting the color shift produced by artificial
lighting (especially fluorescent light).
Flash off ($)
The flash does not fire even in low light conditions. Use this mode in situations where flash
photography is not desired or is prohibited. You can also use this mode when you want to
shoot a natural-looking twilight or night scene.
Note
• After the pre-flashes, it takes about 1 second before the shutter is released.
Hold the camera firmly to avoid camera movement.
•
Effectiveness may be limited if the subject is not looking directly at the pre-flashes, or if the
shooting range is too far. Individual physical characteristics may also limit effectiveness.
Note
• The fill-in flash may not have the desired effect under excessively bright light.
Note
•
Since a slow shutter speed is automatically selected in low light situations when in the flash off mode,
the use of a tripod is recommended to prevent your pictures from being blurred by camera movement.

Letting the camera select the optimal settings
is simple and easy, but if you want, you can
be a lot more creative. Now that you have
mastered basic operation, you can start
enjoying your camera’s more advanced
functions. You can adjust the shooting
conditions manually and try out different
effects. For example, if it is evening, you can
add a touch of color to the night sky. By
setting the white balance to

Adjusting a single function can produce
amazing results. Try various settings and

With film-type cameras, you cannot view the
pictures you have taken until the film has
been developed. Results can be
disappointing when you develop blurred
images or pictures in which subjects had
their eyes closed. Maybe you took several
pictures of the same scene because you
weren’t sure whether they would come out
or not. That’s no way to record important
memories!
With a digital camera, you can review your
pictures immediately.
Just play the picture back as soon as you’ve
taken it. If you don’t like what you see, erase
and take it again. So don’t be afraid of
pictures not coming out well – just keep on
pressing that shutter button!

One of the key features of a digital camera
is that you can view the pictures you have
taken immediately.
But that isn’t all. Another advantage is that
you can customize the camera to your own
personal taste.
For example, you can set the startup screen
so that one of the pictures you have taken is
displayed when you turn the camera on.
That’s originality for you!
And if you lend the camera to friends from
abroad, you can select the appropriate
language for on-screen display.
Making use of these functions will make
such a difference to how much fun you get
out of your camera. Why not try them out?

File name
The camera automatically creates file names and folder names for images
to be stored in. Files can be numbered from 0001 to 9999 and folders can
be numbered from 100 to 999. Examples are shown below.
There are two settings from which you can choose: [RESET] or [AUTO]. Choose the
one that is best for you when transferring images to a computer.
RESET The file number and folder number are reset every time a new card is
inserted in the camera. The folder number returns to No. 100 and the file
number returns to No. 0001. This method is useful when grouping files
on separate cards.
AUTO Even if a new card is inserted, the folder number and file number are
retained from the previous card, so the same file number is not used on
different cards. This helps you to manage multiple cards. This method is
useful when you want to manage all your files with sequential numbers.
Top menu [MODE MENU] [SETUP] [FILE NAME] [RESET] / [AUTO]
g“Menus” (P.15)
Note
• When the File No. reaches 9999, the file number returns to 0001 and the folder

• When both the Folder and File No. reach their respective maximum number
(999/9999), the number of storable pictures becomes 0 even if the card is not
full. No more pictures can be taken. Replace the card with a new one.

You can print out the pictures you have
taken either at a photo shop or at home on
your own printer.
If you go to a photo shop, it is a good idea to
store the print reservation data on the card
first. This lets you select the pictures you
want to print and decide how many prints
you want.
If you print the pictures at home, you can
either connect the camera directly to the
printer or you can connect the camera to a
computer, download the pictures, and print
from the computer.

Print settings (DPOF)
Print reservation allows you to save printing data (the number of prints and the date/
time information) with the pictures stored on the card.
With print reservation, you can print out pictures easily either at home using a
personal DPOF-compatible printer or at a print shop that supports DPOF. DPOF is
a standard format used to record automatic print information from digital cameras.
You can print out pictures automatically, at home or at a photo shop, by storing data,
such as which pictures you want to print and the number of prints, on the card.
Pictures with print reservations can be printed using the following procedures.
Printing using a DPOF-compatible photo shop.
You can print the pictures following the print reservation data.
Printing using a DPOF-compatible printer.
Printing is possible directly from thr special printer without using a computer.
For more details, refer to the printer’s instruction manual. A PC card adapter
may also be necessary.
How to make print reservations
TIPS
Relation between printing and record mode when shooting
The resolution of a computer/printer is generally based on the number of dots
(pixels) per square inch. That is indicated by dpi (dots per inch). The higher the
dpi value, the better the printed results. Keep in mind, however, that the dpi of
the picture does not change. This means that when you print an image with a
higher resolution, the size of the printed picture will be smaller. Although you
can print magnified images, picture quality will decrease.
If you want to print large, high-quality pictures, set the record mode as high as
possible when taking the pictures. g“Record mode” (P.25)
Note
• DPOF reservations set by another device cannot be changed by this camera.
Make changes using the original device.
• If a card contains DPOF reservations set by another device, entering
reservations using this camera may overwrite the previous reservations.
• If there is not enough space in the card memory, you may not be able to enter
the reservation data. “CARD FULL” will be displayed.
• You can make DPOF print reservations for up to 999 images per card.
• Even if an image appears with the message “PICTURE ERROR”, it may be
possible to make print reservations. In this case, the print reservation icon (<)
does not appear when the image is displayed for full view. < appears when
multiple images are displayed (index display), allowing you to confirm the print
reservation.
• Not all functions may be available on all printers, at all print shops, or at all
photo labs.
• Print reservation may take a little time when saving printing data to a card.

AC adapter (optional)
An AC adapter is useful for time-consuming tasks such as image
downloads to a computer.
An optional Olympus AC adapter allows you to power your digital camera
from a common AC wall outlet.
Note
• If the battery power runs out while the camera is connected to a computer or
printer, the image data may be lost or damaged. It is recommended that you
use the optional AC adapter when connecting the camera to a computer or
printer. Do not connect or disconnect the AC adapter while the camera is
connected to a computer or printer.
• Do not remove or load the battery or connect or disconnect the AC adapter
while the camera is turned on. Doing so could affect the camera’s internal
settings or functions.
• The AC adapter can be used within the range of AC100V to AC240V (50/60Hz).
When using the AC adapter abroad, you may need a plug adapter to convert
the plug to the shape of the electrical outlet. For details, ask at your local
electrical shop or travel agent.
• Do not use voltage converters sold in stores traveling overseas as this could
damage your AC adapter.
• The camera loses its weatherproof capability when the AC adapter is used.
• Be sure to read the instruction manual for the AC adapter.

Safety Precautions
WARNING
( Do not use the camera near flammable or explosive gases.
• To avoid causing a fire or explosion, never use the camera near
flammable or explosive gases.
( Do not use the flash on people (infants, small children, etc.) at
close range.
•
Use caution when taking flash pictures at close range. When you fire the
flash, you must be at least 1 m (3 ft.) away from the faces of your subjects,
especially when taking pictures of infants and small children. Firing the flash
too close to the subject’s eyes could cause a momentary loss of vision.
( Keep young children and infants away from the camera.
• Always use and store the camera out of the reach of young children and
infants to prevent the following dangerous situations which could cause
serious injury:
• Becoming entangled in the camera strap, causing strangulation.
• Accidentally swallowing the battery, cards or other small parts.
•
Accidentally firing the flash into their own eyes or those of another child.
• Accidentally being injured by the moving parts of the camera.
( Do not look at the sun or strong lights with the camera.
• To avoid damaging your eyes, never aim the camera directly into the
sun, or any other extremely bright light source.
( Do not touch a charging battery or the battery charger until
charging is finished and the battery has cooled.
• The battery and battery charger become hot while charging. A specified
AC adapter also becomes hot during long use. At these times, they may
cause minor burns.
( Do not use or store the camera in dusty or humid places.
• Using or storing the camera in dusty or humid places may result in a fire
or electric shock.
DANGER
If the product is used without observing the information given under

Appendix
( Do not cover the flash with a hand while firing.
• Do not cover the flash with a hand while firing or touch it after it has just
been fired. It may be hot and cause minor burns. Avoid using the flash
for extended periods.
( Do not take apart or modify the camera.
• Never attempt to disassemble the camera. The internal circuits contain
high voltage points which could cause serious burns or electrical shock.
( Do not let water or foreign objects inside the camera.
• If the camera is accidentally dropped in water, or if liquid is spilled into
the camera, stop using it, allow it to dry, and then remove the battery.
Contact the nearest authorized Olympus service center.
CAUTION
( Stop using the camera immediately if you notice any unusual
odors, noise, or smoke around it.
• If you notice any unusual odors, noise, or smoke around the camera
during operation, switch it off immediately – and disconnect a specified
AC adapter (if attached). Allow the camera to sit idle for a few minutes to
cool. Take the camera outdoors, away from flammable objects, and
carefully remove the battery. Never remove the battery with bare hands,
which may cause a fire or burn your hands. Contact the nearest Olympus
service center immediately.
( Do not use the camera with wet hands.
• To avoid dangerous electrical shock, never hold or operate the camera
with wet hands.
( Do not leave the camera in places where it may be subject to
extremely high temperatures.
• Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate and, in some circumstances,
cause the camera to catch fire. Do not use the charger or AC adapter if
it is covered (such as a blanket). This could cause overheating, resulting
in fire.
( Handle the camera with care to avoid getting a low-
temperature burn.
• When the camera contains metal parts, overheating can result in a low-
temperature burn. Pay attention to the following:
•
When used for a long period, the camera will get hot. If you hold on to
the camera in this state, a low-temperature burn may be caused.
•
In places subject to extremely cold temperatures, the temperature of the
camera’s body may be lower than the environmental temperature. If
possible, wear gloves when handling the camera in cold temperatures.
( Be careful with the strap.
• Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera. It could easily catch
on stray objects – and cause serious damage.
Safety Precautions
145

Appendix
( Use only the AC adapter specified by Olympus.
• Never use any AC adapter except one specified by Olympus. Using a
different AC adapter may damage the camera or power source, or result
in accidents or fire. Ensure the adapter used is designed for your region
or country. For more information, contact the nearest Olympus service
center or the store of purchase. Olympus makes no representations or
warranties regarding any damages caused by AC adapters not
recommended by Olympus.
( Do not damage the power-supply cord.
• Never pull or modify the power-supply cord of the AC adapter or
accessories. Make sure only the plug is securely held during insertion
and removal from the outlet. Stop using the camera immediately, and
contact the nearest Olympus service center or the store of purchase if:
• The power-supply cord becomes hot, or it gives off smoke or unusual
odors.
• The power-supply cord is cut or damaged, or the plug has a faulty
contact.
DANGER

• To prevent batteries from leaking, overheating, or causing a fire or explosion,
use only batteries recommended for use with this product.
• Insert the battery carefully as described in the operating instructions. Never
load the battery with its +/- terminals reversed. Never force the battery into
the battery compartment.
• If the rechargeable battery has not been recharged within the specified time,
stop charging it and do not use it.
• Do not use a battery if it is cracked or broken.
• If a battery leaks, becomes discolored or deformed, or becomes abnormal in
any other way during operation, stop using the camera and consult your
dealer or an authorized Olympus service center. Continued use may result

insert anything (other than the recommended battery) into the battery
compartment.
• Never subject batteries to strong shocks or continuous vibration.
CAUTION
• Before loading, always inspect the battery carefully for leaks, discoloration,
warping, or any other abnormality.
• Olympus lithium ion batteries are intended for use only with Olympus digital
cameras. To find out whether your camera can be used with these batteries,
read your camera’s manual.
• Always charge lithium ion batteries when using them for the first time, or if
they have not been used for a long period.
• The battery may become hot during prolonged use. To avoid minor burns, do
not remove it immediately after using the camera.
• When operating the camera with battery power at low temperatures, try to
keep the camera and spare batteries as warm as possible. Batteries which
run down at low temperatures may be restored after they are warmed at
room temperature.
• Always unload the battery from the camera before storing the camera for a
long period.
• Before using a rechargeable battery, be sure to read the instructions.
• The number of pictures you can take may vary depending on the shooting
conditions or battery.
• Before going on a long trip, and especially before traveling abroad, purchase
an ample supply of extra batteries. A recommended battery may be difficult
to obtain while traveling.

Appendix
CAUTION FOR USAGE ENVIRONMENT
• To protect the high-precision technology contained in this product, never
leave the camera in the places listed below, no matter if in use or storage:
• Places where temperatures and/or humidity are high or go through
extreme changes. Direct sunlight, beaches, locked cars, or near other
heat sources (stove, radiator, etc.) or humidifiers.
• In sandy or dusty environments.
• Near flammable items or explosives.
• In wet places, such as bathrooms or in the rain. When using products with
weatherproof designs, read their manuals as well.
• In places prone to strong vibrations.
• Never drop the camera or subject it to severe shocks or vibrations.
• When mounted on a tripod, adjust the position of the camera with the tripod
head. Do not twist the camera.
• Do not touch electric contacts on cameras.
• Do not leave the camera pointed directly at the sun. This may cause lens or
shutter curtain damage, color failure, ghosting on the CCD, or may possibly
cause fires.
• Do not push or pull severely on the lens.
• Before storing the camera for a long period, remove the battery. Select a
cool, dry location for storage to prevent condensation or mold from forming
inside the camera. After storage, test the camera by turning it on and
pressing the shutter release button to make sure that it is operating normally.
• Always observe the operating environment restrictions described in the
camera’s manual.
• The card is a precision electronic device. Do not bend it or subject it to impact
and keep it away from static electricity. The data stored on the card is saved
in a nonvolatile semiconductor memory, but it can be accidentally destroyed.
• Do not expose the card to water or leave it where there is a lot of dust.
• Avoid using or storing the card in places of high temperature and high
humidity.
• Avoid using near heat-generating or combustible materials.
• Fingerprints or dirt on the card contacts may prevent correct reading/writing
of data. Wipe the contacts gently with a soft dry cloth.
• The card has a limited product life. Eventually, writing or erasing data
from the card no longer becomes possible.
• Olympus is not responsible for any damage to data saved in other
media or loss of data stored on the card.
Card handling precautions
Safety Precautions
148
10
Appendix
• Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise the image may become vague,
resulting in a Display mode failure or damage to the monitor.
• A strip of light may appear on the top/bottom of the monitor, but this is not a
malfunction.
• When a subject is viewed diagonally in the camera, the edges may appear
zigzagged on the monitor. This is not a malfunction; it will be less noticeable
in playback mode.
• In places subject to low temperatures, the LCD monitor may take a long time
to turn on or its color may change temporarily. When using the camera in
extremely cold places, it is a good idea to occasionally place it in a warm
place. An LCD monitor exhibiting poor performance due to low temperatures
will recover in normal temperatures.
• The LCD used for the monitor is made with high-precision technology.
However, black spots or bright spots of light may appear constantly on the
LCD Monitor. Due to its characteristics or the angle at which you are viewing
the monitor, the spot may not be uniform in color and brightness. This is not
a malfunction.

Appendix
Glossary of terms
CCD (Charge-Coupled Device)
This converts light passing through the lens into electrical signals. On this camera,
light is picked up and converted into RGB signals to build a single image.
Conventional Photograph
This refers to recording images using silver halide (the method for recording images
in conventional, non-digital photography). This system is in contrast to still video and
digital photography.
DCF (Design Rule for Camera File System)
A standard for image files by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology
Industries Association (JEITA).
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)
This is for saving desired print settings on digital cameras. By entering which images
to print and the number of copies of each, the user can easily have the desired
images printed by a printer or print lab that supports the DPOF format.
ESP (Electro-Selective Pattern) Light Metering/Digital ESP Light
Metering
This determines the exposure by metering and calculating the light levels in the
center and other areas of the image separately.
Exposure
The amount of light used to capture an image. The exposure is determined by the
time the shutter is open (shutter speed) and the amount of light that passes through
the lens (aperture).
Image size
The size of an image expressed by the number of pixels that make up the image. For
instance, a picture taken with an image size of 640 × 480 fills the computer screen
when the monitor setting is 640 × 480. However, if the monitor setting is
1,024 × 768, the picture only takes up part of the screen.
ISO
A method for indicating film speed by the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) (ex. “ISO100”). Higher ISO values indicate greater sensitivity
to light, so images can be exposed even in low-light conditions.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
A compression format for still images. Photographs (images) shot using this camera
are recorded onto the card in JPEG format. By downloading these images to a
personal computer, users can edit them using graphics application software or view
the images using an Internet web browser.
NTSC (National Television Systems Committee) / PAL (Phase
Alternating Line)
Television formats. NTSC is mainly used in Japan, North America and Korea. PAL
is mainly used in Europe and China.
Glossary of terms

Appendix
PictBridge
A standard for connecting digital cameras and printers of different makers and
printing out pictures directly.
Pixels
A pixel is the smallest unit (dot) used to make up an image. Clear large-sized printed
images require millions of pixels.
Sleep Mode
A mode designed to save battery life. The camera automatically enters the sleep
mode if you do not operate it for a certain time. To exit the sleep mode, use any
button on the camera (shutter button, arrow pad, etc.).
TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) Color Monitor
A transistor color monitor constructed using thin-film technology.
