FORMAT

Setting the shutter speed higher lets you capture fast-moving action without blur. The subject will be clear and sharp, as if it is 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 (P. 55)

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.

Night Scene shooting

Suitable for shooting pictures in the evening or at night. The camera sets a slower shutter speed than is used in normal shooting. For example, if you take a picture of a street at night in the P mode, the lack of brightness will result in a dark picture with only the sparkle of lights such as street lamps appearing. In the Night Scene shooting mode, the true appearance of the street can be captured. The camera automatically selects the optimal settings for this type of shooting condition. Since the shutter speed is slow, make sure you stabilize the camera by using a tripod.

Landscape+Scene shooting

Suitable for taking pictures of landscapes and other outdoor landscape scenes. Both the foreground and the background are in focus. Since blues and greens are reproduced vividly in this mode, the Landscape-Scene mode is excellent for shooting natural scenery. The camera automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions.
Landscape+Portrait shooting
Suitable for taking photos both your subject and the background. The picture is taken with the background as well as the subject in the foreground in focus. The camera automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions.

Sports shooting

How to print pictures

Chapter 9 Print setting
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. 169) for printing at a photo lab that supports DPOF or for printing on a DPOF compatible printer Apply Print Reserve to your pictures. This allows you to add printing data (number of prints, date 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 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. Print Reserve is not available. Also refer to the application software's instructions.

Compatible commercially available external flashes
When selecting an external flash, use products which meet the following basic conditions. (1) Some flashes available on the market operate with a high voltage synchro terminal. If one of these is used, it may damage the camera, and/or the camera may not function normally. Contact the manufacturer of the flash you are using concerning the specifications of the flash's synchro terminal. (2) Some flashes available on the market have the polarity of the synchro terminal reversed. In this case, even if the flash is connected, it will not fire. Contact the manufacturer of the flash for more information. (3) Exposures when using an external flash require that adjustments be made on the external flash unit. If an external flash is used in the Auto mode, match it with the F value and ISO sensitivity settings on the camera. (4) Even if the auto F value and ISO sensitivity of the external flash are set to the same conditions as those on the camera, depending on the photographic conditions, it is possible that the correct exposure may not be obtained anyway. In such a case, adjust the auto F value or ISO value on external flash unit or calculate the distance in the manual mode and use it that way. However, generally, the auto F value and ISO value can only be adjusted 1 step and beyond that, exposure compensation cannot be made. (Exposure compensation in the camera is made invalid in external flash photography.) (5) Use a flash which is capable of covering an illumination angle for a 32 mm or larger lens when calculated for 35 mm film. However, in close-up photography with the lens on the wide setting, the bottom of the image may not expose correctly. The ideal is to have a wide angle adapter to fit on the flash and spread the illumination angle so it is wider. (6) Use a flash unit with a flash time of 1/200 sec. or less when using the flash at full strength. For devices with a long flash time, such as a ring flash, a portion of the light emitted will not contribute to the exposure. (7) If a flash unit or other accessory with additional communications functions other than the FL-40 is used, it may not only fail to function normally, but may also cause damage to the cameras circuitry. Do not use such a device.

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.
