Page 5 of 10

Q: What types of batteries can be used in the C-3020 Zoom? A: You can use two CR-V3 lithium batteries (Olympus LB-01), 4 AA Ni-MH, Ni-Cad, alkaline batteries or lithium batteries. Q: Why can't manganese batteries be used in the C-3020 Zoom? A: Olympus strongly discourages the use of Manganese batteries in the C-3020 Zoom. Manganese batteries cannot provide sufficient power and have a short lifespan. Additionally, they also may cause damage to the camera by generating excess heat. Q: Why is the alert ind icating remaining battery life displayed earlier when using NiMH batteries than when using a lithium battery pack? A: NiMH and lithium batteries have different characteristics that cause the remaining battery life indicator to be displayed earlier when using NiMH batteries. However, this does not necessarily mean that the batteries will deplete any sooner than when using lithium batteries. Q: Approximately how long will the batteries in the C-3020 Zoom last? A: Under normal shooting conditions, the 4 AA alkaline batteries will provide approximately 150 shots. This estimate is assuming that half of the images are using the flash. Please note: the life span of alkaline batteries can vary greatly depending on their date of manufacture, manufacturer, and storage temperature. The Olympus CR-3V (LB-01) batteries will give approximately 500-700 shots. The Olympus rechargeable NiMH batteries provides approximately 250 shots per charge and they are rechargeable approximately 300 - 500 times. Q: What are the compression ratios and file sizes for the C-3020 Zoom's various image quality formats? A: They are as follows: Image Quality Still Images TIFF Record Mode 2048 x x x x x x x x 1200 High Quality 1600 x 1200 Normal Compression Ratio 1/1 1/1 1/1 1/1 1/1 1/2.7 1/8 1/2.7 1/8 Recording Size 9437K 5760K 3686K 2359K 922K 2330K 786K 1422K 480K

Q: What percentage of the actual field is viewed through the viewfinder of the C-3020 Zoom? A: About 80% of the actual field can be viewed through the viewfinder. For more accurate results of the picture composition taken by the camera, use the LCD monitor. Q: Can I use filters with the C-3020 Zoom? A: Yes, you can use a standard 55mm filter with this camera when you use the CLA-1 conversion lens adapter (41mm - 43mm, sold separately) and a 43mm-55mm step-up ring. Q: Can you use add-on lenses with the C-3020 Zoom? A: Yes, you can use the B-Macro Lens, WCON-08E Wide Angle Lens, and the TCON-14 1.4x telephoto lens with this camera. The CLA-1 conversion lens adapter (41mm - 43mm, sold separately) is required with all of these lenses. Please Note: When purchasing the B-Macro lens, you would need to get the 43mm-55mm step-up ring which is sold separately. The 43-55mm step-up ring included with the WCON-08E Wide Angle Lens and the 43-46mm step-up ring included with the TCON-14 1.4x Telephoto Lens. Q: What is the shooting area without using a conversion lens?

Page 8 of 10

A: Using the Macro mode, it is possible to zoom through all ranges from telephoto to wide down to a minimum distance of 8 inches. When shooting in full telephoto in the macro mode, the subject area that will fill the frame is 3.3"x 2.5". Q: What is the shooting area when using the special macro conversion lens? A: Using the Macro lens and shooting in full telephoto in the macro mode, the subject area that will fill the frame is 2.1" x 1.6" Please Note: The built- in flash cannot be used when using the macro conversion lens. Q: Are user settings saved in the memory even when the camera's power is turned off? A: When the Clear Settings function is set to OFF, user settings will be preserved in the camera's memory until they are changed, even if the power is turned off. However, if the camera's battery is removed, user settings will revert to their factory defaults after approximately 1 hour. Q: While the power is turned off, I can see something that looks like dust in the viewfinder. What is this? A: If the shooting lens is retracted (when the camera is off), something that appears like dust can be seen in the viewfinder. This does not indicate actual dust or malfunction of the camera. It is simply that due to the camera's construction, the surface of the viewfinder lens can be seen whenever the power is turned off. It should not be visible during shooting (when the power is turned on) and will not affect the image. Q: How does the C-3020 Zoom handle image file and folder names? A: The file names are created as follows: * Each image file name includes information about the month, date, and file number of the time the image was taken. * For example, the file name PB030020 indicates the month as B, the day as the 3rd, and the 0020 as the 20th picture taken on that day. * Months are designated 1 through 9 for January through September, then A through C for October through December. * The "P" at the beginning of the name indicates "picture" and is a fixed designation. * Image numbers are assigned by the camera automatically, up to 9999. When number 9999 is passed, the numbering resets to 0001. * Even when a new SmartMedia card is inserted, this numbering continues. The folder names are created as follows: * When a new SmartMedia card is inserted into the camera and shooting begins, a new folder name ("Dcim" - "xxxolymp") is written onto the card. * The first three places in the "xxxolymp" folder name will be a number between 100 and 999. When 999 is passed, the numbering resets to 100.

Page 9 of 10

* Even when a new SmartMedia card is inserted, this numbering will continue. * When image number 9999 is reached, a new folder is automatically created, and the xxx portion of the folder name increases by 1.
