The picture is too grainy
There are several factors that can cause the picture to appear grainy. Using the digital zoom to take close-up pictures With the digital zoom, part of the image is cropped and enlarged. The greater the magnification, the grainier the picture appears.
gDIGITAL ZOOM Zooming in on your subject (P. 23)
Increasing the ISO sensitivity When you increase the [ISO] setting, noise, which appears as spots of unwanted color or unevenness in the color, can be introduced and give the picture a grainy appearance. This camera is equipped with a function to allow shooting at high sensitivity while suppressing noise; however, increasing the ISO sensitivity can result in some noise, depending on the shooting conditions.
gISO Changing the ISO sensitivity (P. 23)
Taking pictures with the correct color
The reason why there are sometimes differences between the actual colors and the colors recorded in a picture is related to the light source illuminating the subject. [WB] is the function that helps the camera determine the true colors. Normally, the [AUTO] setting provides the optimal white balance, but depending on the subject, results may be better if you manually adjust the [WB] setting. When the subject is in the shade on a sunny day When the subject is illuminated by both natural light and indoor lighting, such as when near a window When there is no white in the center of the frame
gWB Adjusting the color of a picture (P. 22)
Taking pictures of a white beach or snow scene
Take pictures with K in s mode. Suitable for taking pictures on a sunny day at the beach or in the snow. gs (Scene) Selecting a scene mode according to the shooting situation (P. 22) Often, bright subjects (such as snow) turn out darker than their natural colors. Adjust [F] (exposure compensation) toward [+] to make these subjects closer to their true shades. Conversely, when you are shooting dark subjects, it can be effective to adjust the exposure compensation toward the []. Sometimes, using the flash may not produce the brightness (exposure) that was intended.
g1F button Changing picture brightness (P. 16)
Taking pictures of a subject against backlight
With [ESP/n] set to [n], the picture can be taken based on the brightness at the center of the monitor without being affected by the light in the background.
gESP/n Changing the area for measuring the brightness of a subject (P. 23)
Set the flash to [#] to activate fill-in-flash. You can shoot a subject against backlight without the face of the subject appearing dark. [#] is effective for shooting against backlight and under fluorescent and other artificial lightening.

Removing the card

Push the card all the way in and release slowly.
The card protrudes slightly and stops. Grasp the card and remove.
K, q blinks while the camera is recording/reading the images. Recording/reading of images may take some time. Do not open the battery compartment/card cover while K, q is blinking. Doing so may damage the data in the internal memory or the card and render the internal memory or card unusable.

AC adapter

An AC adapter is useful for time-consuming tasks such as image downloads to a computer or when running a slideshow for a long period of time. To use an AC adapter for this camera, the multiadapter(CB-MA1/accessory) is required. Do not use any other AC adapter with this camera.
Do not remove or load the battery or connect or disconnect the AC adapter or the multi-adapter while the camera is turned on. Doing so could affect the camera's internal settings or functions. The AC adapter can be used within the range of AC 100 V to AC 240 V (50/60 Hz). When using abroad, you may need a plug adapter to convert the plug to match the AC wall outlet. For details, ask at your local electrical shop or travel agent. Do not use travel voltage converters as they could damage your AC adapter. The camera is not water resistant during AC adapter use. Be sure to read the instruction manual for the AC adapter.

Handling the Camera

WARNING
Do not use the camera near flammable or explosive gases. Do not use the flash on people (infants, small children, etc.) at close range. 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. Keep young children and infants away from the camera. 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. Do not look at the sun or strong lights with the camera. Do not use or store the camera in dusty or humid places. Do not cover the flash with a hand while firing.
Stop using the camera immediately if you notice any unusual odors, noise, or smoke around it. Never remove the batteries with bare hands, which may cause a fire or burn your hands. Never hold or operate the camera with wet hands. Do not leave the camera in places where it may be subject to extremely high temperatures. Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate and, in some circumstances, cause the camera to catch fire. Do not use the charger or AC adapter if it is covered (such as a blanket). This could cause overheating, resulting in fire. Handle the camera with care to avoid getting a low-temperature burn. When the camera contains metal parts, overheating can result in a low-temperature burn. Pay attention to the following: When used for a long period, the camera will get hot. If you hold on to the camera in this state, a low-temperature burn may be caused. In places subject to extremely cold temperatures, the temperature of the cameras body may be lower than the environmental temperature. If possible, wear gloves when handling the camera in cold temperatures. Be careful with the strap. Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera. It could easily catch on stray objects - and cause serious damage.

This camera uses a lithium ion battery specified by Olympus. Do not use any other type of battery. For safe and proper use, read the batterys instruction manual carefully before using it. If the batterys terminals get wet or greasy, camera contact failure may result. Wipe the battery well with a dry cloth before use. Always charge a battery when using it for the first time, or if it has not been used for a long period. When operating the camera with battery power at low temperatures, try to keep the camera and spare battery as warm as possible. A battery that has run down at low temperatures may be restored after it is warmed at room temperature. The number of pictures you can take may vary depending on the shooting conditions or battery. Before going on a long trip, and especially before traveling abroad, purchase extra batteries. A recommended battery may be difficult to obtain while traveling. Please recycle batteries to help save our planets resources. When you throw away dead batteries, be sure to cover their terminals and always observe local laws and regulations.

LCD Monitor

Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise the image may become vague, resulting in a playback mode failure or damage to the monitor. A strip of light may appear on the top/bottom of the monitor, but this is not a malfunction. When a subject is viewed diagonally in the camera, the edges may appear zigzagged on the monitor. This is not a malfunction; it will be less noticeable in playback mode. In places subject to low temperatures, the monitor may take a long time to turn on or its color may change temporarily. When using the camera in extremely cold places, it is a good idea to occasionally place it in a warm place. A monitor exhibiting poor performance due to low temperatures will recover in normal temperatures. The LCD used for the monitor is made with high-precision technology. However, black spots or bright spots of light may appear constantly on the Monitor. Due to its characteristics or the angle at which you are viewing the monitor, the spot may not be uniform in color and brightness. This is not a malfunction.
