Self-Portrait shooting

Enables you to take a picture of yourself while holding the camera. Point the lens towards you and take a shot. The focus is locked on you (shooter). The camera automatically selects the optimal settings for this type of shooting condition. Zooming is not possible.

Program shooting

Allows you to take still pictures. The camera sets aperture and shutter speed. Other functions, such as flash modes and drive modes, can be adjusted manually.
Aperture priority/Shutter priority/Manual shooting
Allows you to set aperture and/or shutter speed manually. When the mode dial is set to A/S/M, the following items can be set with the menus:
Allows you to set the aperture manually. The camera sets the shutter speed automatically. By decreasing the aperture value (F value), you will force the camera to focus within a smaller range, producing a picture with a blurred background. Increasing the value forces the camera to focus over a wider range in the forward/backward directions, resulting in a picture in which both the subject and the background are in focus. Aperture setting T P. 65
Aperture (F value) is decreased.
Aperture (F value) is increased.
S (Shutter priority shooting)
Allows you to set the shutter speed manually. The camera sets the aperture automatically. Set the shutter speed according to the subject and the type of picture you want. Shutter speed setting T P. 66
Setting the shutter speed higher lets you capture fast-moving action without blur. The subject will be clear and sharp, as if not moving.
Setting the shutter speed lower blurs a moving subject, giving the impression of movement.

M (Manual shooting)

Allows you to set the aperture and shutter speed manually. To check the exposure, refer to the exposure differential. This mode gives you more creative control, allowing you to make the settings you need to get the type of picture you want, regardless of optimum exposure. Aperture & shutter speed setting T P. 67
A (Aperture priority shooting)

My Mode

Allows you to take still pictures. Your favorite settings can be saved in MY MODE SETUP (in the menus SETUP). Customized settings are activated when the power is turned on in the mode. Settings such as aperture value, zoom position, etc. can be customized. In the mode, you can select exposure mode (shooting mode) from P, A, S, or M. Settings can be specified with the cameras setting menus. The shortcut menu can also include different items than the shortcut menus in the P or A/S/M mode. MY MODE SETUP T P. 140

In the mode, you cannot use both the optical zoom and digital zoom. Images captured with the Digital Zoom may appear grainy. Camera movement is likely to happen at higher magnifications. Stabilize the camera with a tripod, etc. to avoid camera movement.

Flash shooting

Select a flash mode appropriate to the lightning conditions and the effect you want to achieve. You can also adjust the amount of light emitted using the flash intensity control (P. 89). The flash modes are as follows:

Auto-flash

Automatically fires in low-light and backlight conditions.

Red-eye reduction flash

This mode significantly reduces the phenomenon of red-eye by emitting about 10 preflashes before firing the regular flash. This mode works the same as the auto-flash except for the pre-flashes.
The subjects eyes appear red.
After the pre-flash, it takes about 1 second before the shutter is released, so do not move the camera and hold it firmly. Effectiveness may be limited if the subject is not looking directly at the preflashes, or if the shooting range is too far. Individual physical characteristics may also limit effectiveness.

Fill-in flash

The flash fires regardless of available light. This mode is useful for eliminating shadows on the subjects face or for correcting the color shift produced by artificial lighting (especially fluorescent light). Fill-in flash may not have the desired effect under excessively bright light.

Flash shooting (Cont.)

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, or when you want to shoot a natural-looking twilight or night scene. 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.

Slow Synchronization

The Slow Synchronization flash is designed for slow shutter speeds. Normally, when shooting with a flash, shutter speeds cannot go below a certain level to prevent camera movement. But when shooting a night scene background, fast shutter speeds can make the background too dark. Slow Synchronization flash allows both a slow shutter speed for the background and a flash for the subject.

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.

How to print pictures

When you want to print out pictures that you have taken with this camera and stored on a card, use one of the following options: Print Reserve (P. 161-166) for printing at a photo lab that supports DPOF or for printing on a DPOF compatible printer Apply Print Reserve (P. 161-166) to your pictures. This allows you to add printing data (number of prints, data printed on pictures, etc.) to the pictures you have stored. What is DPOF? DPOF is short for Digital Print Order Format. DPOF is a format used to record automatic print information from cameras. By specifying which images are to be printed, the images can be printed easily by DPOFcompatible printing service labs or a personal DPOF-compatible printer. Printing on an Olympus CAMEDIA P-400, P-330N(E) or P-200 digital printer If you insert a card with Print Reserve data into the printer, printing is possible without using a computer. For more details, refer to the printers instructions. Transferring pictures to a computer (P. 175 178) and printing them from a printer connected to the computer If your computer has software applications installed that support JPEG images (Internet browsers, Paint software, etc.), you can print out your pictures on a printer connected to the computer. CAMEDIA Master software also enables printing. Also refer to the application software's instructions.
How to print pictures (Cont.)
Picture size and printing The resolution of a computer/printer is generally based on the number of dots (pixels) per square inch. This is called dpi (dots per inch). The higher the dpi value, the higher the resolution, and the better the printed results. Keep in mind, however, that the dpi of the picture you want to print does not change to match the printer resolution. This means that when you print an image with a lower resolution than the printer, the size of the printed picture will be smaller. Although you can print magnified images, picture quality will decrease. If you want to be able to print large, high-quality pictures, set the picture size in the camera as high as possible (higher record mode) (P. 105).
Images taken with this camera can also be printed using a printer or at a photo lab that supports the Design rule for Camera File system/DCF. 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. Even if an image appears with the message PICTURE ERROR, Print reserve may be performed on it. In such a case, the print reserve icon ( ) does not appear where an image is displayed for full view. Since appears where multiple images are displayed (index-display mode), it is possible to confirm the print reserve status. This camera cannot be directly connected to printers such as the Olympus P-300 digital printer. Not all functions may be available on all printers or at all photo labs. If you are printing using the P-330N(E) , only the first 999 images can be printed. Print reserve may take considerable time in some cases. Print reserve cannot be done when using a card with a write-protect seal.
