Inserting a card

Card in this manual refers to the xD-Picture Card, CompactFlash and Microdrive. The camera uses the card to record pictures. The xD-Picture Card can be used simultaneously with CompactFlash or Microdrive.

Card basics

The card corresponds to normal camera film for recording the pictures you have taken. Pictures recorded and stored on the card can easily be erased, overwritten, and/or edited on a PC. The following cards can be used. Read the instructions for the card carefully before use. xD-Picture Card 16 MB to 512 MB
Index area You can write down the cards contents. Contact area Comes into contact with the cameras signal read contacts. CompactFlash (CF) (optional) CompactFlash is a large-capacity solid state flash memory card. You can use commercially available cards. The camera may not function normally with some types of CompactFlash cards. Microdrive (optional) You can use Microdrive that supports CF+Type II (CompactFlash expansion standard). Microdrive is a compact hard disk drive. Be sure to read the Precautions for using Microdrive (P.24).
340 MB Microdrive cannot be used. This camera may not recognize a non-Olympus card or a card that was formatted on another device (such as a PC). Before use, be sure to format the card on this camera. g Formatting cards (P.166)

Open the card cover.

Card cover

Insert a card.

xD-Picture Card Insert the card into the front slot, ensuring that it is not inserted diagonally. Insert the card as far as it will go until it clicks. If the card is inserted incorrectly oriented or it is inserted at an angle, the contact area may be damaged or the card may become jammed. If the card is not inserted fully, it may not be able to record data. CompactFlash/Microdrive Hold the card straight and insert it correctly into the rear slot, as shown. Set the eject button in the down position.
Close the card cover securely until it clicks.

Eject button

Removing the card
xD-Picture Card Push the card all the way in to unlock it, then let it return slowly. The card will be ejected. Take hold of the card and pull it out. Note Releasing your finger quickly after pushing the card all the way in may cause it to eject forcefully out of the slot.
CompactFlash/Microdrive Set the eject button in the upright position. Press the eject button gently all the way in. The card will be ejected a short way. Take hold of the card and pull it out. Return the eject button to the down position before closing the card cover.
Do not push the card in with a pen or similar hard or pointed object. Never open the card cover, or remove the card or the battery while the camera is turned on. Doing so could destroy the data stored on the card. Once destroyed, data cannot be restored.

P Program shooting
The camera automatically sets the optimum aperture value and shutter speed for the brightness of the subject. Other functions, such as flash mode and record mode, can be adjusted manually. Program shift Program shift allows you to change the combination of aperture value and shutter speed set by the camera without altering the exposure. Press ac to change the aperture value and the shutter speed that determines an appropriate exposure. Ps is displayed on the monitor in the program shift mode.
To cancel the program shift mode, do one of the following: If the combination of shutter speed and aperture value was changed by pressing a, press c until Ps goes out. If the combination of shutter speed and aperture value was changed by pressing c, press a until Ps goes out. Change the mode to A, S, M, r or n.
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. gAperture priority shooting (P.70)
Aperture (F number) is decreased. Aperture (F number) is increased.
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. gShutter priority shooting (P.71)
Setting the shutter speed higher lets you capture fastmoving action without blur. The subject will be clear and sharp, as if it were not moving.

j Sports shooting

Suitable for capturing fast-moving action (such as sports) without blur. Even a fast-moving subject will be clear and sharp as if it were not moving. It enables you to capture facial expressions and detailed activity. The camera automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions.

i Portrait shooting

Suitable for taking a portrait-style shot of a person. This mode features an infocus subject against a blurred background. The camera automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions.
The available settings vary depending on the mode. gList of items by shooting mode (P.217)

When # lights, the flash fires automatically but the shutter speed locks at a level at which camera movement is not likely to occur. The level at which the shutter speed locks changes depending on the zoom position.
Zoom position W (max.) T (max.) Shutter speed 1/30 sec. 1/125 sec.
AUTO, !, # and H SLOW are not available in S and M modes. The flash does not fire in the following situations: In n mode, during sequential shooting (i, j, k, 7), during super macro shooting, during panorama shooting. The flash may not give you the optimum result in macro mode, especially with wide-angle shooting. Check the resulting picture on the monitor. When a conversion lens is attached to the camera, vignetting may occur. To take flash pictures, use an external flash.

(Auto-flash (No indication)
The flash fires automatically in low light or backlight conditions.
(Red-eye reduction flash (!)
The light from the flash may make the subjects eyes appear red in the picture. The red-eye reduction flash mode significantly reduces this phenomenon by emitting pre-flashes before firing the regular flash. This helps accustom the subjects eyes to the bright light and minimizes the red-eye phenomenon.
The subjects eyes appear red.
After the pre-flashes, it takes about 1 second before the shutter is released. Hold the camera firmly to avoid camera movement. Effectiveness may be limited if the subject is not looking directly at the preflashes, or if the shooting range is too far. Individual physical characteristics may also limit effectiveness.

(Fill-in flash (#)

The flash fires regardless of the available light. This mode is useful for eliminating shadows on the subjects face (such as shadows from tree leaves), in a backlight situation, or for correcting the color shift produced by artificial lighting (especially fluorescent light).
The fill-in flash may not have the desired effect under excessively bright light.

(Flash off ($)

The flash does not fire even in low light conditions. Use this mode in situations where flash photography is not desired or is prohibited. You can also use this mode when you want to shoot a natural-looking twilight or night scene. Besides setting the mode to $, flash does not fire when it is closed.
Since a slow shutter speed is automatically selected in low light situations when in the flash off mode, the use of a tripod is recommended to prevent your pictures from being blurred by camera movement.
(Slow synchronization (#SLOW1 #SLOW2 HSLOW1)
The slow synchronization flash is designed for slow shutter speeds. Normally, when shooting with a flash, shutter speeds cannot go below a certain level to prevent camera movement. But when shooting a night scene background, fast shutter speeds can make the background too dark. Slow synchronization flash allows both a slow shutter speed for the background and a flash for the subject. Since the shutter speed is slow, make sure you stabilize the camera by using a tripod. Otherwise, camera movement may cause the picture to be blurred. In S and M modes, the flash fires at the selected shutter speed.
1st curtain (front curtain) #SLOW1 Usually, regardless of the shutter speed, the flash fires right after the shutter fully opens. This is called 1st curtain. Unless you change it, this is how the flash always fires. The factory default setting for slow synchronization is # SLOW1.
