Before using the camera, you should follow the steps outlined in this chapter.

Attaching the strap

Chapter 1
Thread the strap through the strap eyelet.

Strap eyelet

Thread the rest of the strap through the loop that has already gone through the eyelet. Make sure the strap is securely fastened.
Always put the camera in its case (optional) when carrying it. Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera, as it can easily catch on stray objects, causing serious damage. Attach the strap correctly as shown 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.

Loading the batteries

This camera uses a CR-V3 lithium battery pack or 2 AA (R6) NiMH batteries, NiCd batteries, alkaline batteries or lithium batteries. Important: CR-V3 lithium battery packs cannot be charged. Do not peel the label on a CR-V3 lithium battery pack. If an insulating sheet covers the terminals, peel it off ONLY from the terminals.
Make sure the camera is turned off (i.e. the lens barrier is closed and the monitor if turned off).
While pressing the lock button on the battery compartment cover, slide the cover in the direction of the arrow () printed on it.

The flash may not give you the optimum result in Macro mode, especially with wide-angle shooting. Check the result on the monitor.

Flash intensity control

You can adjust the amount of light emitted by the flash. In some situations, you may get better results by adjusting light emission. Examples include small subjects, distant backgrounds, or situations when increased contrast is desired.

During panorama shooting, the flash is disabled. The Panorama mode is only available with the OLYMPUS CAMEDIA-brand SmartMedia cards. The camera itself cannot edit panorama pictures. To connect each picture, the CAMEDIA Master software is necessary. Your computer's memory may be insufficient if you take too many panorama pictures in the HQ/SHQ modes. Images are saved in JPEG format when panorama shooting is done in the TIFF mode. The size of the image does not change. If the mode dial is moved during panorama shooting, the camera cancels the panorama mode and returns to normal shooting.
FUNCTION Taking black & white or sepia-toned pictures
Lets you add special effect to your pictures during shooting. 4 effects are available. BLACK&WHITE : Takes pictures in black and white. SEPIA : Gives pictures a sepia tone.

Record Mode

Selecting Record Modes
Choose the best record mode for your purposes (printing, editing on a computer, web-site editing, etc.). To see how large SmartMedia memory capacity is under various conditions (such as different resolutions, compressions, or file formats), refer to the table on page 106. The numbers in the table are approximate.
Record mode TIFF Description The highest-quality mode. Images are saved as uncompressed data, which is the best for printing or image-processing on a computer. This mode has different resolutions to choose from, depending on how it is used. A high quality mode using the JPEG format. Because the compression rate is very low, high quality images can be stored. In addition, you can increase the resolution with the Enlarge Size function. This is useful when printing on large paper such as A3 (11" x 14"/28 cm x 36 cm). A high quality mode using the JPEG format, 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 increased by using the Enlarge Size function. The most compressed modes. For each one, you can also choose HIGH (to reduce noise) or NORMAL (to save more images). Select the best settings for your purpose (printing, Internet pages, etc.). Quality More clear File size Larger

When you set noise reduction to ON, shooting time is approximately twice as long as usual, because the camera needs extra time to finish the noisereduction process. During this time, shooting the next picture is not possible. When NOISE REDUCTION is ON, sequential shooting ( , , BKT) is not possible. This function may not work well with some shooting conditions or subjects. Since the shutter speed is slower when noise reduction is ON, we recommend that you use a tripod.

In the playback mode, the sleep timer is always set at 3 minutes. Sleep does not work when using the AC adapter. If a slide-show lasts more than 30 minutes, the camera automatically enters the sleep mode.

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.
Month: Jan. - Sep. = 1 - 9, Oct. = A, Nov. = B, Dec. = C There are two choices here: RESET or AUTO. Choose the one that is best for you when transferring images to a computer. RESET When RESET is selected, the file number and folder number are reset every time a new card is inserted in the camera. The folder number returns to No. 100, and the file number returns to No. 0001. This is useful when grouping files on separate cards. AUTO When AUTO is selected, the same folder number is retained, but the file number continues from the previous card, so that the same file number is not used on different cards. This helps you to manage multiple cards. This is useful when a group of files stretches over more than one card.

Print reserve prepares pictures you have taken with the camera for printing at a photo lab or on your printer.

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).

If you shoot using the monitor for a long time, noise may appear on pictures. Read carefully the GENERAL PRECAUTIONS included in the package and the AC adapters instructions. Never connect or disconnect the AC adapter when the card access lamp is blinking. Even when a battery is loaded, power is supplied via the AC adapter. The battery loaded in the camera is not charged. Do not disconnect/connect the AC adapter while using the camera with the battery loaded. First turn off the camera, then disconnect/connect the AC adapter. Otherwise, image data stored on the card may be destroyed or a malfunction may occur. If a malfunction occurs, turn off the camera and turn it on again.
