Notes for recording movies over a long time Recording will continue until the card is full unless stopped by pressing the shutter button. A long recorded movie cannot be edited. (P.120) If a single movie recording uses up all of the cards memory, create space on the card by deleting the movie or downloading it to a PC.
Telephoto and wide-angle shooting are possible at 10 magnification (the optical zoom limit, equivalent to 42 mm 420 mm on a 35 mm camera). When taking still pictures, you can increase zoom magnification to a maximum of approximately 30 by combining the optical zoom with the digital zoom. During movie recording, the digital zoom magnification is 2.5. Camera movement is likely to occur at higher magnifications. Stabilize the camera with a tripod, etc. to avoid camera movement.

Using the optical zoom

The sequential shooting speed varies depending on the record mode setting. Approx. 2 frames at approx. 2.3 frames/sec. Focus is individually locked for each frame. The AF sequential shooting speed is slower than for normal sequential shooting. gAuto bracketing (P.85)

Auto bracketing

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 7 is set to 1.0 3
In the top menu, select MODE MENU CAMERA DRIVE BKT, and press d.
Select the exposure differential. Press ac to select 0.3, 0.7 or 1.0, then press d.
Select the number of shots. Press ac to select 3 or 5, then press e.
Press e repeatedly until the menu disappears.
Press the shutter button fully and keep it pressed to shoot the preset number of pictures. You can stop shooting at any time by releasing the shutter button.
Sequential shooting (j, i, k, 7) is not possible in the following situations: When the TIFF or SHQ record mode is set to ENLARGE SIZE When NOISE REDUCTION is set to ON. Auto bracketing is not possible in M mode. The flash does not fire in 7 mode. In modes other than S and M, since the shutter speed is set to max. 1/30 sec., exposure is decreased when shooting a dark subject. In 7 mode other than S mode, if the shutter speed is set to longer than 1/30 sec. when the exposure differential is 0, the shutter speed is fixed at 1/30 sec. and the picture is taken in 7 mode. If the battery power is low and the battery check blinks during sequential shooting, shooting stops and the camera starts saving the pictures you have taken. Whether or not all of the shots are saved depends on how much battery power remains. If there is not enough space available on the card for the number of frames you have set during auto bracketing, you cannot continue shooting.

Flowchart

By connecting the camera to a computer with the provided USB cable, images on a card can be transferred to the computer. Some OSs (operating systems) may need a special setup before connecting to the camera for the first time. Follow the chart below. For details, see the Olympus Corporate Site or phone customer support. Identifying the OS (p.6)

* Even if your computer has a USB connector, data transfer may not function correctly if you are using one of the operating systems listed below or if you have an add-on USB connector (extension card, etc.). Windows 95/NT 4.0 Windows 98/98 SE upgrade from Windows 95 Mac OS 8.6 or lower (except Mac OS 8.6 equipped with USB MASS Storage Support 1.3.5 installed at the factory) Data transfer is not guaranteed on a home-built PC system or PCs with no factory installed OS.
When connecting the camera to the computer, make sure that there is sufficient remaining battery power. When connected (transmitting) to the computer, the camera does not enter the sleep mode nor will the cameras power turn off automatically. Depending on the camera model, when the battery power runs out or the internal temperature rises, the camera may stop operating automatically. This could cause the computer to malfunction, and any image data (file) being transmitted may be lost. Be careful when downloading files for a long period of time. Use the AC adapter (optional) when downloading files. If you connect or disconnect the AC adapter when the camera is connected to the computer and is running on battery power, it may result in the loss of image data on the card or cause a malfunction in the computer. Before connecting or disconnecting the AC adapter, disconnect the camera from the computer and make sure that the camera is turned off. To avoid computer malfunctions, do not turn off the camera when the camera is connected to a computer. If the camera is connected to the computer via a USB hub, operation may not be stable if there are any compatibility problems between the computer and the hub. In such cases, do not use the hub and connect the camera directly to the computer. You can view images using: graphics applications that support the JPEG file format (Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop, etc.); Internet browsers (Netscape Communicator, Microsoft Internet Explorer, etc.); CAMEDIA Master software; or other software. For details on using commercial graphics applications, refer to their instruction manuals. QuickTime is needed for playing back movies. QuickTime is included on the provided software CD. If you want to process images, make sure to download them to your computer first. Depending on the software, image files may be destroyed if the images are processed (rotated, etc.) while they are on the card.

ADVANCED SHOOTING

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. 11 frames at 1.5 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 2.8 frames/sec. k Focus is individually locked for each frame. The AF sequential shooting speed is slower than for normal sequential shooting. When auto bracketing is set, the exposure is changed BKT 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.

METERING

There are three ways of measuring the brightness of a subject. Digital ESP metering : Meters the center of the subject and the surrounding area separately. Spot metering : Exposure is determined by metering within the AF target area. In this mode, a subject can be shot with optimal exposure regardless of the background light. Multi-metering : Meters the brightness of the subject at up to 8 different points to set the optimal exposure based on the average brightness. This method is useful with a high contrast subject.
basic_e_d4197_6.fm Page 30 Thursday, November 20, 2003 7:24 PM

AE LOCK

This function is suitable for situations when optimal exposure is difficult to achieve, such as when there is excessive contrast between the subject and the surroundings.

MACRO MODE SHOOTING

Focusing is usually slow when you get close to a subject (W: 7 cm/2.8" to 60 cm/2.0 ft., T: 1.2 m/3.9 ft. to 2 m/6.6 ft.). However, in the & mode focusing is performed quickly. When the optical zoom lever is at the maximum wide position and you are as close as 7 cm/2.8" to your subject, you can fill the entire frame with your subject.
SUPER MACRO MODE SHOOTING
This mode lets you shoot from as close as 3 cm/1.2" to your subject. In the % mode, normal shooting is also possible, but the position of the zoom is fixed automatically and cannot be changed.

MANUAL FOCUS

If auto focus is unable to focus on a subject, use manual focus.
