This camera uses a lithium ion battery specied by Olympus. Do not use any other type of battery. If the batterys terminals get wet or greasy, camera contact failure may result. Wipe the battery well with a dry cloth before use. Always charge a battery when using it for the rst time, or if it has not been used for a long period. When operating the camera with battery power at low temperatures, try to keep the camera and spare battery as warm as possible. A battery that has run down at low temperatures may be restored after it is warmed at room temperature. 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 extra batteries. A recommended battery may be difcult to obtain while traveling. Please recycle batteries to help save our planets resources. When you throw away dead batteries, be sure to cover their terminals and always observe local laws and regulations.

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.

Press the shutter button gently using the ball of your finger. If it is pressed hard, the camera may move and pictures may come out blurred. Recorded pictures will be saved in the card regardless of whether the camera is turned off or the batteries are replaced or removed. Never open the card cover, eject the card, remove the batteries, or pull the plug when the card access lamp is blinking. Doing so could destroy stored pictures and prevent storage of pictures you have just taken.
Taking still pictures while using the monitor
With the monitor, you can shoot while checking the picture area that the camera actually records. It is also possible to check information such as memory gauge, aperture or shutter speed, etc.
Comparison of the viewfinder & monitor
Viewfinder Advantage: Camera movement does not occur easily and subjects can be seen clearly even in bright places. Little battery power is used. Disadvantage: When close to a subject, the image in the viewfinder is a little different from the picture that the camera actually records. Tips: Use the viewfinder for general snapshots (landscape pictures, casual shots, etc.) or when taking several pictures in a row.
Monitor Advantage: You can check the picture area that the camera actually records. Disadvantage: Camera movement can occur easily and subjects may be difficult to see in bright/dark places. The monitor uses more battery power than the viewfinder. Tips: Use the monitor when you need to know the exact area the camera records, or to shoot a subject 80 cm (2.6 ft) or closer (macro shooting).
The camera records a wider area than the image in the viewfinder. As you get closer to the subject, the actual image recorded becomes lower than the one in the viewfinder (see left).
Striped area: Picture that the camera actually records.

The monitor does not turn on. T If the camera is not used for over 3 minutes, the monitor turns off. If you operate the shutter button or zoom lever, the monitor turns on again. Vertical lines on the monitor screen make it hard to see the image. T Bright light (such as direct sunlight) may cause vertical lines to appear on the monitor screen. In this case, use the viewfinder. How to brighten/darken the monitor T Adjust the brightness in (P. 156). How to check the area the camera is focusing on T If you hold down the (monitor) button while pressing the shutter button HQ halfway, the area you are focusing on 2288x1712 is enlarged (as illustrated). When using the digital zoom, this is not available. Camera movement is less noticeable when using the viewfinder rather than the monitor. Also read the TIPS on Taking still pictures while using the viewfinder (P. 67).

The monitor consumes more battery power than the viewfinder. If you point the lens towards a bright subject, smear (lines like beams of light) may appear on the monitor image. This does not affect recorded images.

Zoom Telephoto/Wide-angle shooting
Telephoto/Wide-angle shooting is possible at up to 3x magnification (optical zoom limit, equivalent to 32 mm - 96 mm on a 35 mm camera). By combining the digital zoom with the 3x optical zoom, zoom magnification can be extended to a maximum of approx. 10x (during still picture shooting).

AE lock Locking the exposure
Suitable for situations when optimal exposure is difficult to achieve (such as excessive contrast between the subject and the surroundings). For example, if nearly the whole frame is taken up with sky, shooting with automatic exposure will result in a dark subject. In this case, first frame an image without any sky. Then, press the button to lock the exposure of the non-sky frame. Finally, compose your shot again with the sky in the frame and shoot. In other words, use AE lock when you want an exposure setting that's different from the setting that would normally apply to the image you want to shoot.

The panorama mode is only available with the OLYMPUS CAMEDIA-brand SmartMedia cards. The camera itself cannot connect panorama pictures. To connect each picture, the CAMEDIA Master software is necessary. Your computer's memory may be insufficient if you take too many panorama pictures in the HQ/SHQ modes. Images are saved in JPEG format when panorama shooting is done in the TIFF mode. The size of the image does not change. If the mode dial is moved during panorama shooting, the camera cancels the panorama mode and returns to normal shooting.

Record mode TIFF Description The highest-quality mode. Images are saved as uncompressed data, which is the best for printing or image-processing on a computer. This mode has different resolutions to choose from, depending on how it is used. Selecting 3:2 lets you print the entire image without losing its borders almost the same image size used by photo labs. A high quality mode using the JPEG format. Because the compression rate is very low, high quality images can be stored. Selecting 3:2 lets you print the entire image without losing its borders almost the same image size used by photo labs. The Enlarge Size function is useful when printing on large-format paper such as A3 (11" x 14"/28 cm x 36 cm). A high quality mode using the JPEG format, with medium compression. Because the compression rate is higher than SHQ, file sizes are smaller, so more images can be saved to a card. Like SHQ, resolution can be increased by using 3:2 or the Enlarge Size function. The most compressed modes. For each one, you can also choose HIGH (to reduce noise) or NORMAL (to save more images). Select the best settings for your purpose (printing, Internet pages, etc.).
