to save the setting.

Factory default setting: HQ
Resolution: The number of pixels (vertical x horizontal) used when saving an image. If the image will be printed, higher resolutions (larger numbers) are recommended so that the image will be clearer. However, higher resolutions make the file size (amount of data) larger, so less pictures can be saved to a card. Resolution and picture size on a computer screen: When a picture is transferred to a computer, the size of the picture on the computer screen varies depending on the computer's monitor setting. For instance, a picture taken in 640x480 resolution is the same size as the screen if you set the picture to 1x when the monitor setting is 640x480. However, if the monitor setting is over 640x480 (such as 1024x768), the picture only takes up part of the screen. Compression rate: In record modes other than TIFF, image data is compressed. The higher the compression rate, the less clear the image will be. File format (P. 103): This camera saves images with either TIFF or JPEG formats. In record modes other than TIFF, images are compressed in the JPEG format. The compression rate also varies in each mode (movies: Motion JPEG (mov) format).

Playback on a TV (Cont.)

The optional AC adapter is recommended when using the camera with a TV. Images can be rotated only when they are played back on a TV. See the next page for details.
Make sure that the cameras video output signal type is the same as the TVs video signal type. ~ Video output selection (P. 166) The cameras monitor turns off automatically when the camera is connected to a TV. The image may appear off-center on the TV screen. This is due to the TV's adjustment settings. When images are compressed in order to fit the entire image on a TV screen, a black frame is placed in the blank parts of the screen around the image. If the image is output to a video printer via the TV, the black frame may be printed.

Picture rotation

There may be times when you want to rotate a picture. For example, pictures taken with the camera held vertically are also oriented vertically (i.e. longer vertically than horizontally). With picture rotation, you can turn them horizontally, 90 degrees clockwise, or counter-clockwise.

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.
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. 102).

External flash
Using the FL-40 external flash
Various types of flash shooting are possible with the FL-40 external flash, which can be used either by itself or together with the main flash. If the FL-40 is used, flash mode and exposure compensation will be detected automatically by the camera, allowing the main flash and external flash to function together. Using the two flashes together allows for more sophisticated lighting, such as catch lighting. To connect the FL-40 to the camera, the exclusive FL-BK01 flash bracket (optional) and FL-CB01 bracket cable (optional) are required.
the FL-40 external flash the 1 Mount bracket, then fasten it on the flash to cameras tripod socket and connect the flash bracket and the cameras 5pin external flash socket using the bracket cable. Refer to each separate instruction manual for the external flash, flash bracket, and flash cable. The 5-pin external flash socket cover on the camera is threaded.

If close-up pictures are overexposed, try using the main flash by itself. When the main flash and the FL-40 are used together, the main flash is used as the compensating light source. This means that if the amount of light from the FL-40 is insufficient (beyond its working range), the resulting pictures may be underexposed.

There is no empty space on the card, so it cannot record new information such as print data. The card cover is open.

CARD-COVER OPEN

Replace the card or erase unneeded pictures.

Close the card cover.

The battery is dead. The camera stops working. The green lamp and orange lamp blink at the same time. Other indications

Glossary of terms

A (Aperture Priority) Mode You set the aperture yourself and the camera automatically varies the shutter speed so that the picture is taken with the best exposure. AE (Automatic Exposure) The camera's built-in exposure meter automatically sets the exposure. The 3 AE modes available on this camera are P mode, in which the camera selects both the aperture and shutter speed, A mode, in which the user selects the aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed, and S mode, in which the user selects the shutter speed and the camera sets the aperture. In M mode, the user selects both the aperture and the shutter speed. Aperture The adjustable lens opening which controls the amount of light that enters the camera. The larger the aperture, the shorter the depth of field and the fuzzier the background. The smaller the aperture, the greater the depth of field and the sharper the background. Aperture is measured in f/stops. Larger aperture values indicate smaller apertures, and smaller aperture values indicate larger apertures. Backlight A light source to illuminate the monitor from behind the screen. CCD (Charge-coupled Device) This converts light passing through the lens into electrical signals. On this camera, light is picked up at 4,13 million points and converted into RGB signals to build a single image. Contrast Detection Method This is used to measure the distance to the subject. The camera determines if the image is focused by the level of contrast in the subject. Conventional Photograph This refers to recording images using silver halide (the method for recording images in conventional, non-digital photography.) This system is in contrast to still video and digital photography. DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) A standard for image files by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA). Digital ESP (Electro-Selective Pattern) light metering This determines the exposure by metering and calculating the light levels in the center and other areas of the image separately.
