How to use this manual

Set the mode dial to any of the marks shown here. Follow the arrows to perform menu operations. For details on operating procedures, see How to use the menus (P.33).
This represents the arrow pad. Only arrows applicable to the operation are shown. This sample page is only for your reference. It may differ from the actual page in this manual.

Attaching the strap

Pass the lens cap string through the hole in the lens cap, then pass the other end through the loop and pull tight. Pull the ends of the strap out of the stopper and ring.

Stopper

Getting started
Thread one end of the strap (A) through the string loop (attached to the lens cap in step 1). Then thread it through the strap eyelet on the camera. Thread the end of the strap back through the ring and stopper as indicated by the arrows. Adjust the strap to the desired length. Pull the strap through the stopper (B) to make sure it is fastened securely. Attach the strap to the other eyelet following steps 3 to 5.

Strap eyelet

Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera, as it can easily catch on stray objects, causing injury or damage. Attach the strap correctly as shown above so that the camera does not fall off. If the strap is attached incorrectly and the camera falls off, Olympus is not responsible for any damages.

Set the mode dial to h and press the power switch.
The camera and the viewfinder turn on.

When the shutter button is halfway pressed, the difference (ranging from -3.0 to +3.0 EV) between the exposure determined by the currently selected aperture and shutter speed compared to the exposure level considered optimal by the camera is displayed. If the exposure differential appears in red, it indicates that the exposure differential is less than -3.0 EV or more than +3.0 EV. When you press x, the screen on the right appears with the bar indicating current exposure settings.

If the remote control receiver is exposed to strong light, the effective signal distance may be reduced or shooting may not take place. To shoot sequential shots using the remote control device, press and hold the shutter button on the remote control device. If the camera does not receive the remote control signal properly, sequential shooting may stop. Read the remote control devices instruction manual for information on playback by remote control device.

Sequential shooting

There are 4 sequential shooting modes: sequential shooting, high speed sequential shooting, AF sequential shooting and auto bracketing. Sequential shooting modes can be selected from the DRIVE mode menu. Sequential shooting cannot be performed when the record mode is set to TIFF. Drive mode o : Shoots 1 frame at a time when the shutter button is pressed. (Normal shooting mode, single-frame shooting) j : Focus, exposure and white balance are locked at the first frame. Approx. 8 frames at 1.3 frames/sec. (in HQ mode) i : Pictures can be taken at a faster speed than normal sequential shooting. The sequential shooting speed varies depending on the record mode setting. 2 frames at 1.8 frames/sec. k : Focus is individually locked for each frame.

Auto bracketing BKT

Under some conditions, you may obtain better results shooting with exposure compensation than by using the exposure setting considered optimal by the camera. When auto bracketing is set, the exposure is changed automatically for each frame when you start shooting. The exposure differential and number of frames can be selected in the menus. The focus and white balance are locked at the first frame. Ex: When BKT is set to 1.0 3

SQ1 SQ2

The highest quality mode. As the images are Clearer Larger saved as uncompressed data, this is the best mode for printing or image-processing on a PC. This mode has different resolutions to choose from, depending on your purpose. Selecting 3:2 lets you print the entire image without losing its borders - almost the same image size as that used by photo labs. A high quality mode using the JPEG format. Because the compression rate is very low, high quality can be maintained. Selecting 3:2 lets you print the entire image without losing its borders - almost the same image size as that used by photo labs. The ENLARGE SIZE function is useful when printing on large-format paper. A high quality mode 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 changed by using 3:2 or the ENLARGE SIZE function. The most compressed modes. For each resolution, you can choose HIGH (to reduce noise) or NORMAL (to save more images). Select the best setting for your purpose Normal Smaller (printing, Internet pages, etc.).

The card memory capacity listed in the table is approximate. The number of remaining 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 stored images are erased. 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 Movie Record Modes table.

The card access lamp blinks while the camera is reading the movie from the card. Reading of movies may take considerable time. Do not open the card cover while the card access lamp is blinking, as this may cause not only the data on the card to be damaged, but may also render the card unusable.

The flash was set to the fill-in flash mode. The subject was excessively illuminated. Select a flash mode other than fill-in flash. Adjust the exposure compensation toward minus () or change the camera position. P.55 P.105

The picture is too dark.

The flash was blocked by your finger. The subject was out of the working range of the flash. The flash was not enabled. The subject was too small and was backlit. The sequential shooting mode was used. When shooting a bright subject such as a landscape, the picture comes out darker than the actual colors. Hold the camera correctly, keeping your fingers away from the flash. Shoot within the flash working range. P.31
Push the flash lever up to make the flash pop up. Set the flash to fill-in mode, or use the spot metering mode. Higher shutter speeds are used when the sequential shooting mode is selected, which may result in pictures that are darker than usual. Select o in the DRIVE menu.

The colors of pictures taken indoors look unnatural.
Indoor lighting can affect the pictures colors. No white in frame. The white balance setting is wrong. Set the white balance according to the lighting. P.106

The picture has obscured edge(s).
The lens was partly blocked by your finger or the strap. Hold the camera correctly, keeping your fingers and the strap away from the lens. P.31
The picture is out of focus.
The camera moved when the shutter button was pressed. The subject was too close. Hold the camera correctly and press the shutter button gently. Move further away from the subject. To take pictures closer than 7 cm (2.8") with the zoom in the maximum WIDE position, use the super macro mode. Push the flash lever up to make the flash pop up. Camera movement occurs easily with slower shutter speeds. Use a tripod, or hold the camera firmly. Clean the lens. Use a commercially available blower blush and then wipe with a lens cleaner to remove dust. Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left dirty. Focus the camera on an object at the same distance as the intended subject using the focus lock function before composing your shot. P.31

P.84, 85

The flash was not enabled in a lighting condition requiring use of the flash. The lens was dirty.

The picture was out of focus even though the green lamp was lit.
Halation produces unnatural colors in the picture.
This may be caused by excessively bright ultraviolet light on the subject, such as sunlight shining through the leaves of trees, window frames in bright light at night, reflection of metal in direct sunlight, etc. Use a UV filter. As this may upset the overall color balance, it should only be used in the conditions described on the left. Process the picture on a PC using a graphics application (Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, etc.).
