Shooting tips

When you are unsure of how to take a picture that you envision, refer to the information below.

Fast-moving object

Focusing

Focusing on the subject

Taking a picture of a subject not in the center
of the screen After focusing on an object at the same distance as the subject, compose the shot, and take the picture. Pressing the shutter button halfway (p. 14)
The subject is not in the center of the frame

Camera shake

Taking pictures without camera shake
Set [AF MODE] (p. 26) to [iESP] Taking a picture in [AF TRACKING] mode
(p. 26) The camera tracks the subject movement automatically to focus on it continuously.
Taking pictures using h mode (p. 18) Select j (SPORT) in s mode (p. 17)
The j (SPORT) mode uses a fast shutter speed and can reduce the blur incurred by a moving subject.
Taking a picture of subjects where autofocus
is difcult In the following cases, after focusing on an object (by pressing the shutter button halfway down) with high contrast at the same distance as the subject, compose the shot, and take the picture.
Taking pictures at a high ISO sensitivity
If a high ISO sensitivity is selected, pictures can be taken at a high shutter speed even at locations where a ash cannot be used. [ISO] (p. 25)
Subjects with low contrast

Exposure (brightness)

Taking pictures with the right brightness
Taking pictures using [FACE DETECT] (p. 26)
When extremely bright objects appear in the center of the screen
Appropriate exposure is obtained for a face against backlight, and the face is brightened.

Taking pictures using [FILL IN] (p. 19) ash
A subject against backlight is brightened.
Taking pictures using exposure compensation
Object with no vertical lines*1
(p. 20) Adjust the brightness while viewing the screen for taking the picture. Normally, taking pictures of white subjects (such as snow) results in images that are darker than the actual subject. Use the F button to adjust in the positive (+) direction to express whites as they appear. When taking pictures of black subjects, on the other hand, it is effective to adjust in the negative (-) direction.
It is also effective to compose the shot by holding the camera vertically to focus, and then returning to the horizontal position to take the picture.
When objects are at different distances

Color hue

Taking pictures with colors at the same shade as they appear

Playback/Editing tips

Playback
Playing images in the internal memory and card
Taking pictures by selecting [WB] (p. 25)
Best results in most environments can normally be obtained with the AUTO setting, but for some subjects, you should try experimenting with different settings. (This is especially true for sunshade under a clear sky, mixed natural and articial light settings, and so on.)
Remove the card when playing pictures in the

internal memory

Loading the batteries and the xD-Picture
Card (sold separately) into the camera (p. 10)
Use of the ash is also effective for shooting under uorescent and other articial lighting.
Using the microSD card/microSDHC card
(sold separately) (p. 11)

Image quality

Taking sharper pictures
Taking pictures with the optical zoom
Avoid using digital zoom (p. 19) to take pictures.
Taking pictures at a low ISO sensitivity
If the picture is taken with a high ISO sensitivity, noise (small colored spots and color unevenness that were not in the original image) can occur, and the image can appear grainy. The resulting image is grainier than with low ISO sensitivity as well. [ISO] (p. 25)

Batteries

Making batteries last longer
Avoid any of the following operations when not
actually taking pictures because they deplete the battery power
Repeatedly pressing the shutter button

halfway

Repeatedly using the zoom Set [POWER SAVE] (p. 32) to [ON]

Appendix

Camera care
Exterior Wipe gently with a soft cloth. If the camera is very dirty, soak the cloth in mild soapy water and wring well. Wipe the camera with the damp cloth and then dry it with a dry cloth. If you have used the camera at the beach, use a cloth soaked in clean water and wrung well. Monitor Wipe gently with a soft cloth. Lens Blow dust off the lens with a commercial blower, then wipe gently with a lens cleaner.

Battery Handling Precautions
Follow these important guidelines to prevent batteries from leaking, overheating, burning, exploding, or causing electrical shocks or burns. DANGER
Use only the Olympus brand NiMH batteries and proper tting charger. Never heat or incinerate batteries. Take precautions when carrying or storing batteries to prevent them from coming into contact with any metal objects such as jewelry, pins, fasteners, etc. Never store batteries where they will be exposed to direct sunlight, or subjected to hightemperatures in a hot vehicle, near a heat source, etc. To prevent causing battery leaks or damaging their terminals, carefully follow all instructions regarding the use of batteries. Never attempt to disassemble a battery or modify it in any way, solder, etc. If battery uid gets into your eyes, ush your eyes immediately with clear, cold running water and seek medical attention immediately. Always store batteries out of the reach of small children. If a child accidentally swallows a battery, seek medical attention immediately.
The following AA (R6) batteries cannot be used.
Batteries whose bodies are only partially or not at all covered by an insulating sheet.
Batteries whose - terminals are raised, but not covered by an insulating sheet.
Batteries whose - terminals are at and not completely covered by an insulating sheet. (Such batteries cannot be used even if the - terminals are partially covered.)
Keep batteries dry at all times. To prevent batteries from leaking, overheating or causing a re or explosion, use only batteries recommended for use with this product. Never mix batteries (old and new batteries, charged and uncharged batteries, batteries of different manufacture or capacity, etc.). Never attempt to charge alkaline, lithium or CR-V3 lithium battery packs. Insert the battery carefully as described in the operating instructions. Do not use batteries if their body is not covered by the insulating sheet or if the sheet is torn, as this may cause uid leaks, re or injury.
If NiMH batteries are not charged within the specied time, stop charging them and do not use them. Do not use a battery if it is cracked or broken. If a battery leaks, becomes discolored, deformed or becomes abnormal in any other way during operation, stop using the camera. If a battery leaks uid onto your clothing or skin, remove the clothing and ush the affected area with clean, running cold water immediately. If the uid burns your skin, seek medical attention immediately. Never subject batteries to strong shocks or continuous vibration.
