How to make print reservations
Print reservations allow you to save printing data (the number of prints and the date and time information) with the pictures stored on the card. With print reservation, you can print out pictures easily either at home using a personal DPOF-compatible printer or at a photo store that supports DPOF. DPOF is a standard format used to record automatic print information from digital cameras. Only the images stored on the card can be reserved to print. Insert a card with recorded pictures into the camera before making print reservations. Pictures with print reservations can be printed using the following procedures: Printing using a DPOF-compatible photo store You can print 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 computer. For more details, refer to the printers instruction manual. A PC card adapter may also be necessary.
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. You can make DPOF print reservations for up to 999 images per card. Not all functions may be available on all printers or at all photo stores.

Product Handling Precautions
( Do not use the camera near flammable or explosive gases. ( Do not use the flash and LED on people (infants, small children, etc.) at close range. ( Keep young children and infants away from the camera.
You must be at least 1 m (3 ft.) away from the faces of your subjects. Firing the flash too close to the subjects eyes could cause a momentary loss of vision. Always use and store the camera out of the reach of young children and infants to prevent the following dangerous situations which could cause serious injury: Becoming entangled in the camera strap, causing strangulation. Accidentally swallowing the battery, cards or other small parts. Accidentally firing the flash into their own eyes or those of another child. Accidentally being injured by the moving parts of the camera.

Keep batteries dry at all times. To prevent batteries from leaking, overheating, or causing a fire 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.). Do not charge alkaline or lithium batteries if they are not rechargeable. 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 fluid leaks, fire, or injury.
Do not remove batteries immediately after using the camera. Batteries may become hot during prolonged use. Always unload the battery from the camera before storing the camera for a long period. The following AA 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 flat and not completely covered by an insulating sheet. (Such batteries cannot be used even if the - terminals are partially covered.)
If NiMH batteries are not charged within the specified 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 or deformed, or becomes abnormal in any other way during operation, stop using the camera. If a battery leaks fluid onto your clothing or skin, remove the clothing and flush the affected area with clean, running cold water immediately. If the fluid burns your skin, seek medical attention immediately. Never subject batteries to strong shocks or continuous vibration. Olympus NiMH batteries (included in some areas) are intended for use only with Olympus digital cameras. Never use these batteries with any other device. Always charge NiMH batteries (included in some areas) before using them for the first time, or if they have not been used for a long period. Always charge sets of batteries (included in some areas) (2 or 4) together. Do not use alkaline batteries unless it is absolutely necessary. In some cases, alkaline batteries may have a shorter service life than NiMH battery packs. Alkaline battery performance is limited, especially at low temperatures. The use of NiMH batteries is recommended. CR-V3 lithium battery packs and AA manganese (Zinc-Carbon) batteries cannot be used with this camera. When operating the camera with battery power at low temperatures, try to keep the camera and spare batteries as warm as possible. Batteries which run down at low temperatures may be EN restored after they are warmed at room temperature.

A Change from Film Cameras
Looking back over several issues of this newsletter, there have been several discussions teaching why you should use a card reader instead of the inferior download cable supplied with cameras. Heres yet another reason. Unlike lm cameras, digital cameras can continue to evolve. The read only memory, or rmware, in your camera can be changed or updated at any time without having to be returned to the factory. As a camera owner, you may update your camera by yourself if you so choose. On subsequent pages is a list of camera updates available. Your camera may well be on the list. Sometimes the updates are to improve the cameras capabilities, but more frequently they are to correct inadequacies in the original workings of the cameras. Camera companies will not upgrade your camera for you, no matter the reason for the update. In most updates, you download the new software from the camera makers web site, transfer it to a memory card which you then insert in your camera. Turn the camera on, and either the camera updates itself or gives you instructions on the LCD panel. There is no way this can be done with the download USB cable. The process is not very difcult to do, but is time consuming and can be unnerving. If the update is not done correctly, you cannot go back to the original rmware version - its gone. If you go to your camera makers web site and see how the update will improve your camera, you may decide to do the update or have us do it for you. One customer recently commented that he had been dissatised with the autofocus delay and shutter lag of his camera. After being updated, he is very pleased with how much faster his camera 2

performs. He had considered replacing it, but now is happy keeping it. So far, our stores have performed updates for our customers. If you are interested, contact us. (Sorry, but we will not perform updates on Kodak or Polaroid cameras which were sold elsewhere.)
