Precautions when using batteries The amount of power consumed varies considerably depending on the operations performed on the digital camera. If you use exhausted batteries or alkaline batteries, the camera may turn off without displaying the battery level warning (P.12).
Selecting optional batteries or an AC adapter
In addition to the batteries provided with the camera, the following types of battery or AC adapter can be used. Choose the power source best suited to the situation.
NiMH batteries (Rechargeable batteries)
Olympus NiMH batteries are rechargeable and economical. However, charging the batteries repeatedly before using up their capacity will shorten the life of the batteries per charge gradually.
AA (R6) alkaline batteries
When you need batteries in a hurry, you can use AA (R6) alkaline batteries, which are easy to obtain anywhere. However, the number of pictures that you can take may vary considerably depending on the battery manufacturer, shooting conditions, etc.

AC adapter

An optional Olympus CAMEDIA-brand AC adapter allows you to power your digital camera from a common AC wall outlet. Be sure to use the specified AC adapter. An AC adapter is useful for time-consuming tasks such as downloading or printing out of images. Use an AC adapter designed to operate on the AC voltage in the area the camera is being used. Consult your nearest Olympus dealer or Service center for details.

Inserting a card (Optional)
An optional card (xD-Picture Card) is available for this camera.

Card basics

The card corresponds to a film of normal camera 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. Using a card with larger capacity increases the number of images you can record. 1 Index area You can write down the cards contents. 2 Contact area Comes into contact with the cameras signal read contacts.

Resolution The number of pixels (horizontal x vertical) 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 the number of pictures that can be saved will be fewer. 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 computers monitor setting. For instance, a picture taken in 1024 x 768 resolution is the same size as the screen if you set the picture to 1x when the monitor setting is 1024 x 768. However, if the monitor setting is over 1024 x 768 (such as 1280 x 1024), the picture only takes up part of the screen.

BACKUP - Copying pictures to a card
You can copy (backup) all the image data stored in the internal memory to the card. The image data in the internal memory is not erased by copying it to the card. The optional card is required to use the BACKUP function. Operate the camera with the card is inserted.

When the card has insufficient memory, CARD FULL is displayed and copying is canceled. When the mark is blinking, pictures cannot be backed up because of insufficient battery power. If the battery power runs out during copying, the image data may be lost or damaged. You are recommended to use the AC adapter. Never open the battery compartment/card cover, remove the batteries, or connect or disconnect the AC adapter during copying as this may cause malfunction of the internal memory or the card.

With print reservation

Print reservation allows you to save printing data (the number of prints and the date/time information) with the pictures stored on the card. Only the images stored on the card can be reserved to print. Insert the card recording the images into the camera before making print reservation. With print reservation, you can print out pictures easily either at home using a personal DPOF-compatible printer or at a print shop that supports DPOF. DPOF is a standard format used to record automatic print information from digital cameras. You can print out pictures automatically, at home or in a print shop, by storing such data as which pictures you wish to print and the number of prints on a card. Pictures taken with print reservation can be printed using the following procedures. Printing using a DPOF-compatible print shop You can print the pictures using the print reservation data. Printing using a DPOF-compatible printer Printing is possible directly from a card containing print reservation data without using a PC. For more details, refer to the printers instruction manual. A PC card adapter may also be necessary.

Print setting (DPOF)

Picture size and printing The resolution of a computer/printer is generally based on the number of dots (pixels) per inch. This is called dpi (dots per inch). The higher the dpi value, the better the printed results. Keep in mind, however, that the dpi of the picture does not change. This means that when you print an image with a higher resolution, the size of the printed picture will be smaller. Although you can print magnified images, picture quality will decrease. If you want to print large, high-quality pictures, set the record mode as high as possible when taking the pictures. "Selecting a record mode" (P.57) DPOF reservations set by another device cannot be changed by this camera. Make changes using the original device. If a card contains DPOF reservations set by another device, entering reservations using this camera may overwrite the previous reservations. The allowable number of pictures for DPOF reservation is 999 frames per card. Print reservation may not be available if there is insufficient card memory. In this case, the CARD FULL message is displayed. Not all functions may be available on all printers or at all print shops. Print reservation may take considerable time when saving printing data to a card.

All-frame reservation

You can print one copy of all the images stored on the card. Select whether the print date or time will also be included. You cannot change the number of copies for this feature. If you want to change the number, first make the all-frame reservation, and then change the number of copies using the single-frame reservation function. "Singleframe reservation" (P.88)
