Aperture priority/Shutter priority/Manual/My mode shooting
For details on which shooting modes are selectable when the mode dial is set to A/S/M/ , refer to the previous page.
A Aperture priority shooting
Allows you to set the aperture manually. The camera sets the shutter speed automatically. By decreasing the aperture value (F-number), the camera will 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 and backward directions, resulting in a picture in which both the subject and the background are in focus. ~ Aperture setting (P. 53)
Aperture (F-number) is decreased.
Aperture (F-number) is increased.

Shooting modes

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 effect you want. ~ Shutter speed setting (P. 54)
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)

My Mode

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, M or S-Prg. Settings can be specified with the cameras setting menus. In MY MODE SETUP, you can create and save up to 4 different My Mode settings. Items in the short cut menu can be different from those in the P or S-Prg mode short cut menus. ~ MY MODE SETUP (P. 151)

Movie record

Allows you to record movies. The camera sets the aperture and shutter speed automatically. Exposure is locked when the shutter button is pressed halfway. You cannot record movies with sound.

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

Suitable for capturing fast-moving action (such as sports) without blurring. The camera automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions.

SLOW2: 2nd curtain (rear curtain) In contrast to 1st curtain, 2nd curtain fires the flash just before the shutter closes. Changing the flash timing can create interesting effects in your picture, such as expressing the movement of a car by showing the taillights streaming backwards. The slower the shutter speed, the better the effects turn out. Slowest possible shutter speed depends on the shooting mode: M mode : 16 sec. P/A/S mode : 4 sec. (depending on the ISO setting.)

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).
The card memory capacity listed in the table is approximate (P. 103). The number of storable pictures differs depending on the record mode, the cards memory size and whether or not print reserve is applied for the card. The number of storable pictures may not be reduced every time a picture is taken, or increased when a picture is erased. The amount of data varies depending on the subject. When VIDEO OUT is set to PAL (P.166) T If movie pictures are shot with the video cable connected, the maximum recording time may be different from the table on page 103.
The image aspect ratio is normally 4:3. If the aspect ratio is changed to 3:2, the image can be printed without losing the image borders at a photo lab. When 3:2 is activated, resolution is 2288 x 1520 pixels. In the TIFF, SHQ or HQ mode, you can select 3:2. In the (movie) mode, 3:2 is not available. The monitor turns on automatically if this mode is selected. Check the monitor image before 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.

C 700UZ

The camera that will help you get every shot you see. And then some.
Remember the time your son made that diving, game-saving catch in deep right field? Or the time he caught that gorgeous rainbow trout in shallow water on the far bank? The only thing that could make those memories sweeter is if you had more than just mental pictures of them. Start carrying around the CAMEDIA C-700 Ultra Zoom. With an unbelievably powerful 10x optical/27x digital zoom, itll help you capture every picture you see. Along with lots more you might never have noticed.

We made the C-700UZ as easy to look at as it is to use.
The C-700 Ultra Zoom features the most amazing range youve ever seen. And measuring just 4.2" (w) x 3" (h) x 3" (d) and weighing less than 11 ounces, its the worlds smallest 10x optical zoom digital camera.
True to its mission to help you get every shot, the C-700UZ features an extra-large thumbwheel that
38mm equivalent 380mm equivalent (10x optical zoom) 1026mm equivalent (27x digital zoom)
makes it easy to zip between auto and manual modes. Plus three auto creative scene modes (Portrait, Sport, Landscape) automatically figure settings to let you take advantage of quick opportunities. Or you can always use the new, simplified menu to manually set your controls. Even downloading is simple. You just plug your C-700UZ into your USB computer, then drag your images off. The CAMEDIA C-700 Ultra Zoom makes everything
At less than 11 ounces, the C-700UZ is the perfect traveling companion.
easy. Including, of course, taking better pictures than you ever have before.
What will this much zoom do for your pictures?
A meandering river. A fisherman standing in the river. The brand name on the reel used by the fisherman standing in the river. Youll be amazed how close the C-700 Ultra Zoom will get you. The 10x optical zoom gives you the equivalent of a 38mm 380mm lens. That alone will have you shooting pictures you used to give up on as being out of range. But when you also have a 27x digital zoom and get the equivalent of a 1026mm lens. well, the pictures never end. They begin, however, where the best digital cameras always do: with an Olympus lens. The lens is the single most important factor in determining the quality of your pictures. And the quality of our lenses is why Olympus is the world leader in film and digital photography.
Small. Compact. Ready to go where the pictures are. An Olympus aspherical glass lens ensures razor-sharp clarity and rich, true color.
From the soccer field to the great outdoors, its easy to get closer to your loved ones.
Amazing pictures are as near as your thumb.
Wow. Youve never seen the sun shine through the clouds and light up a flock of birds quite like that. Quick! Spin the thumbwheel over to the Sport mode and get the shot. You glance over at your son, and youre struck by his entranced expression as he watches them. Another quick spin over to Portrait mode, a quick zoom in, and you have that shot, too. Then a herd of deer emerges on the far bank, sniffing the air carefully as they make their way over for a drink. Spin over to Landscape mode, and you have three amazing shots within seconds.

You can use the large thumbwheel and simple menu to set the aperture and shutter manually.
Sport mode gives you a fast shutter speed for action shots.
Thats the beauty of our three auto creative scene modes. Life moves as quickly as your photo opportunities. You need a camera that moves just as fast.
Portrait mode gives you a short depth of field for sharp subjects with blurred backgrounds.
Exposure isnt the only way to use light. You can also use fill-in or other modes from the built-in pop-up flash.
Landscape mode gives you a long depth of field for sharp foregrounds and backgrounds.
Zoom in. Zoom out. And everything in between.
As you begin to see more and more pictures with the C-700UZ, a funny thing happens. You start to think of other ways you can shoot your pictures. For instance, what if you got in tight really tight on your subject? Or what if you wanted to take an action shot in rapid-fire sequence? Or even take a short movie of an action scene, complete with sound? With the C-700UZ, you can do all that and more. Theres no one right way to take a picture. The only sure thing is youll have fun trying them all.
Combine the C-700UZs zoom capabilities with shot-to-shot times of just over 1/2 a second, and theres not much youll miss.
No time to fumble with the video camera? Just shoot a one-minute QuickTime movie with sound instead.
With 27x total zoom, you can look close from far away. Or with the macro mode, you can look close from 4" away.
You can shoot a 360 panorama in sections, then stitch it together seamlessly with our included CAMEDIA Master software.
So many pictures. So many ways to share them.
Photography is all about sharing a moment. And since youll have about a zillion and one moments to share once you get busy with your C-700 Ultra Zoom, its a good thing there are plenty of ways to share them.
With Auto Connect USB, your computer automatically sees your C-700UZ as a hard drive. Just drag your images onto your favorite applications, then crop, print and email to your hearts content.
You can display your pictures and output your QuickTime sound movies directly to your NTSC TV or VCR.
