Noise in images
While shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on-screen. These
phenomena are caused when current is generated in those sections of the image
pickup device that are not normally exposed to light, resulting in a rise in temperature
in the image pickup device or image pickup device drive circuit. This can also occur
when shooting with a high ISO setting in a high-temperature environment. To reduce
this noise, the camera activates the noise reduction function. [NOISE REDUCT.]:

FP, and wireless fl ash control (P. 89).
Other external fl ash units
Observe the following precautions when mounting an external fl ash unit not
designated for use with this camera on the camera hot shoe:
Using obsolete fl ash units that apply currents of more than about 24 V to the camera
hot shoe X-contact will damage the camera.
Connecting fl ash units with signal contacts that do not conform to Olympus
specifi cations may damage the camera.
Use only with the camera in shooting mode M at shutter speeds slower than 1/180 s
and at ISO settings other than [AUTO].
Flash control can only be performed by manually setting the fl ash to the ISO
sensitivity and aperture values selected with the camera. Flash brightness can be
adjusted by adjusting either ISO sensitivity or aperture.
Use a fl ash with an angle of illumination suited to the lens. Angle of illumination is
usually expressed using 35-mm format equivalent focal lengths.

The battery has been removed from the camera
The date and time settings will be returned to the factory default settings if the
camera is left without the battery for approximately 1 day. The settings will be
cancelled more quickly if the battery was only loaded in the camera for a short time
before being removed. Before taking important pictures, check that the date and

This may occur when the picture is taken in backlight or semi-backlight conditions.
This is due to a phenomenon called fl are or ghosting. As far as possible, consider a
composition where strong light source is not taken in the picture. Flare may occur even
when a light source is not present in the picture. Use a lens hood to shade the lens
from the light source. If a lens hood does not have effect, use your hand to shade the

Cleaning and storing the camera
Cleaning the camera
Turn off the camera and remove the battery before cleaning the camera.
Exterior:
Wipe gently with a soft cloth. If the camera is very dirty, soak the cloth in mild soapy
water and wring well. Wipe the camera with the damp cloth and then dry it with a dry
cloth. If you have used the camera at the beach, use a cloth soaked in clean water
and well wrung.
LCD monitor:
Wipe gently with a soft cloth.
Lens:
Blow dust off the lens with a commercially available blower. For the lens, wipe
gently with a lens cleaning paper.
Storage
When not using the camera for a prolonged period, remove the battery and card.
Store the camera in a cool, dry place that is well ventilated.
Insert the battery periodically and test the camera's functions.
Remove dust and other foreign matter from the body and rear caps before attaching
them.
Attach the body cap to the camera to prevent dust from getting inside when no lens is
attached. Be sure to replace the front and rear lens caps before putting the lens away.
Clean the camera after use.
Do not store with insect repellent.
Cleaning and checking the image pickup device
This camera incorporates a dust reduction function to keep dust from getting on
the image pickup device and to remove any dust or dirt from the image pickup
device surface with ultrasonic vibrations. The dust reduction function operates
when the camera is turned on.
The dust reduction function operates at the same time as the pixel mapping,
which checks the image pickup device and image processing circuitry. Since dust
reduction is activated every time the camera's power is turned on, the camera
should be held upright for the dust reduction function to be effective.
# Caution
Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or alcohol, or a chemically treated cloth.
Avoid storing the camera in places where chemicals are treated, in order to protect
the camera from corrosion.
Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left dirty.
Check each part of the camera before use if it has not been used for a long time.
Before taking important pictures, be sure to take a test shot and check that the
camera works properly.

Battery and charger
Use the single Olympus lithium-ion battery (BLS-5). Batteries other than genuine
OLYMPUS BLS-5 batteries can not be used.
The camera’s power consumption varies widely with usage and other conditions.
As the following consume a lot of power even without shooting, the battery will be
drained quickly.
Performing auto focus repeatedly by pressing the shutter button halfway in
shooting mode.
Displaying images on the LCD monitor for a prolonged period.
When connected to a computer or printer.
When using a drained battery, the camera may turn off without the low battery
warning being displayed.
The battery will not be fully charged at the time of purchase. Charge the battery
using the provided charger (BCS-5) before use.
The normal charging time using the provided charger is approximately 3 hours 30
minutes (estimated).
Do not attempt to use chargers not specifi cally designated for use with the supplied
battery, or to use batteries not specifi cally designated for use with the supplied
charger.
# Caution
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with the incorrect battery
type. Dispose of the used battery following the instructions. “Battery Handling
Precautions” (P. 115)
Using your charger abroad
The charger can be used in most home electrical sources within the range of 100 V
to 240 V AC (50/60 Hz) around the world. However, depending on the country
or area you are in, the AC wall outlet may be shaped differently and the charger
may require a plug adapter to match the wall outlet. For details, ask at your local
electrical shop or travel agent.
Do not use commercially available travel adaptors as the charger may malfunction.

Interchangeable lenses
Choose a lens according to the scene and your creative intent. Use
lenses designed exclusively for the Micro Four Thirds System, which
bear the symbol shown at right. With an adapter, you can also use Four
Thirds System and OM System lenses.
M.ZUIKO DIGITAL interchangeable lenses
This is an interchangeable lens specifi cally for use with the “Micro Four Thirds
system” which is a smaller, thinner version of the “Four Thirds system”.
Micro Four Thirds System lenses
Cameras designed for the Micro Four Thirds System do away with the bulky mirror
box and viewfi nder found in ordinary single-lens refl ex cameras, resulting in a
camera body that is substantially more compact. Similarly, lens design is matched
to the camera for a compact, light-weight photo system. One characteristic of Micro
Four Thirds System lenses is that they can achieve magnifi cations equivalent to
double those produced by 35 mm format cameras with lenses of the same focal
length, producing high-power lenses that are light and compact. For example, a
Micro Four Thirds System lens with a focal length of 14–42 mm is equivalent to a
35 mm format lens with a focal length of 28–84 mm. The aperture of a Micro Four
Thirds System lens can also be made smaller than that of a 35 mm format lens,
making it possible to achieve a lens with the same brightness (f-number) in a smaller
package. The brighter the lens, the faster the shutter speeds that can be achieved
under low-light conditions.
# Caution
When you attach or remove the body cap and lens from the camera, keep the lens
mount on the camera pointed downward. This helps prevent dust and other foreign
matter from getting inside the camera.
Do not remove the body cap or attach the lens in dusty places.
Do not point the lens attached to the camera toward the sun. This may cause
the camera to malfunction or even ignite due to the magnifying effect of sunlight
focusing through the lens.
Be careful not to lose the body cap and rear cap.

Do not twist the camera.
Do not leave the camera pointed directly
at the sun. This may cause lens or shutter
curtain damage, color failure, ghosting on
the image pickup device, or may possibly
cause fi res.
Do not touch electric contacts on cameras
and interchangeable lenses. Remember to
attach the body cap when removing 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.
The camera may malfunction if it is used in
a location where it is subject to a magnetic/
electromagnetic fi eld, radio waves, or high
voltage, such as near a TV set, microwave,
video game, loud speakers, large monitor
unit, TV/radio tower, or transmission towers.
In such cases, turn the camera off and on
again before further operation.
Always observe the operating environment
restrictions described in the camera's manual.
Do not directly touch or wipe the image
pickup device of the camera.
LCD Monitor
Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise
the image may become vague, resulting in
a playback 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.
