If there is a high-intensity light source within the screen, the image may be displayed darker
but will be recorded normally.
If the live view function is used over a long period, the temperature of the image pickup device
rises causing images with high ISO sensitivity to appear noisy and unevenly colored. Either
lower the ISO sensitivity or turn off the camera for some time.
Exchanging the lens will cause live view to stop.

Using live view
The live view mechanism
During live view, the image on the LCD monitor is the same image received by the image
pickup device (Live MOS sensor/imager) that is used for shooting. This way you can check
the effects of exposure compensation or white balance on the LCD monitor. Moreover, you
can also enlarge part of the subject to focus on it or display ruled lines to check that the
composition is level.
While the image appears on the LCD monitor during live view, the mirror is raised and the
shutter is open. Therefore, you will not be able to check the subject in the viewfinder.
Correct metering may not be possible if strong light is coming in through the viewfinder. In
such case attach the eyepiece cover. g“Eyepiece cover” (P. 62)
In live view you can choose one of 3 available AF systems. The
[LIVE VIEW AF MODE]
setting will determine when and how focusing is performed.

When you press the shutter button all the way, the AF is activated and the picture is taken in
the same way as when taking pictures using the viewfinder (AF is not activated on pressing

[HYBRID AF]
When you press the shutter button halfway, focusing is performed approximately by the
Imager AF and you can check the subject on the LCD monitor. When you press the shutter
button all the way, the AF is activated in the same way as with the

setting. The
approximate focusing distance is obtained when the shutter button is pressed halfway so the
time it takes to actually take the picture after pressing the shutter button all the way is
shortened. When using S-AF+MF, this is very convenient as you can hold the shutter button
pressed halfway and finely adjust the focus while checking the LCD monitor.

The camera sets the optimum aperture value automatically for the shutter speed you have
selected. Set the shutter speed depending on the type of effect you want. A higher shutter
speed allows you to capture a fast-moving subject without blur, and a slower shutter speed
blurs a moving subject, creating a feeling of speed or motion. Set the shutter speed
depending on the type of effect you want.
Set the mode dial to
S
and turn the control dial to set the shutter speed.

The possibility of camera shake spoiling your picture increases greatly during macro or ultra-

Exposure
Allows you to set the aperture and shutter speed manually. You can check how much it
differs from the appropriate exposure by using the exposure level indicator. This mode gives
you more creative control, allowing you to make whatever settings you like, regardless of the
correct exposure.
Set the mode dial to
M
and turn the control dial to set the
value.
The range of aperture values available varies with the lens type.
The shutter speed can be set to 1/4000 – 60 sec. or
[BULB]
.
In
M
mode the exposure level indicator will be displayed. It shows the difference (ranging from –3 EV
to +3 EV) between the exposure value calculated by the currently selected aperture and shutter
speed and the exposure value considered optimum by the camera. If the difference exceeds ±3 EV,
the entire indicator blinks.
Noise in images
While shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on-screen. These phenomena are
caused when current is generated in those sections of the image pickup device that are not
normally exposed to light, resulting in a rise in temperature in the image pickup device or
image pickup device drive circuit. This can also occur when shooting with a high ISO setting
in a high-temperature environment. To reduce this noise, the camera activates the noise
reduction function.

Exposure
There are 5 ways to measure the subject brightness: Digital ESP metering, Center weighted
averaging metering, and 3 types of spot metering. Select the most suitable mode for the
shooting conditions.
Setting display
G
Digital ESP metering
The camera measures the light levels and calculates the light
level differences in 49 separate areas of the image. This mode is recommended for general use.
Setting the AF synchronized function to
[ESP+AF]
enables metering centered around the AF target
that is in focus with AF.
H
Center weighted averaging metering
This metering mode provides the average metering between the subject
and the background lighting, placing more weight on the subject at the
center. Use this mode when you do not want the light level of the
background to affect the exposure value.
I
Spot metering
The camera meters a very small area around the center of the subject,
defined by the spot metering area mark in the viewfinder. Use this mode
when there is very strong backlight.
IJ
Spot metering – highlight control
When the overall background is bright, white areas of the image will
come out gray if you use the camera’s automatic exposure. Using this
mode enables the camera to shift to over-exposure, allowing accurate
white reproduction.
Metering area is the same as spot metering.
IK
Spot metering – shadow control
When the overall background is dark, black areas of the image will come out gray if you use the
camera’s automatic exposure. Using this mode enables the camera to shift to under-exposure,
allowing accurate black reproduction. Metering area is the same as spot metering.

In some situations, you may get better results if you manually compensate (adjust) the
exposure value set automatically by the camera. In many cases, bright subjects (such as
snow) will turn out darker than their natural colors. Adjusting toward + makes these subjects
closer to their real shades. For the same reason, adjust toward – when shooting dark
subjects. The exposure can be adjusted in a range of ±5.0 EV.
The exposure compensation indicator is displayed. The exposure compensation indicator will not be
displayed when the exposure is compensated by 0.
If the exposure compensation value exceeds the scale of the exposure compensation indicator, the

Notes
The image stabilizer cannot correct excessive camera shake or camera shake that occurs
when the shutter speed is set to the slowest speed. In these cases, it is recommended that
you use a tripod.
When using a tripod, set [IMAGE STABILIZER] to [OFF].
When using a lens with an image stabilization function, turn off the image stabilization
function of either the lens or the camera.
If [IMAGE STABILIZER] is set to [I.S.1], [I.S.2] or [I.S.3] and you turn off the camera, the
camera will vibrate. This is due to the camera initializing the image stabilizer mechanism.
Without this initialization, the image stabilizer may not be able to achieve the proper effect.
You may notice an operating sound or vibration when the image stabilizer is activated.
If the image stabilizer icon blinks in red on the monitor, it indicates a failure of the image
stabilizer function. If you take a picture as is, the composition may be off. Consult your
Olympus Authorized Service Center.
The image stabilizer will not activate at shutter speeds of over 2 seconds.
If the internal temperature of the camera exceeds the specified temperature, the image
stabilizer is deactivated and the image stabilizer icon lights red on the monitor.
When set to
[OFF]
, you can turn off the beep sound that is emitted when the focus locks by
pressing the shutter button.

Recording formats
JPEG
For JPEG images, select a combination of image size (Y, X, W) and compression rate (SF,
F, N, B). An image consists of pixels (dots). When you enlarge an image with a low pixel
count, it will be displayed as a mosaic. If an image has a high pixel count, the file size
(amount of data) will be larger and the number of storable still pictures will be lower. The
higher the compression, the smaller the file size. However, the image will have less clarity
when played back.

Record mode, white balance, and picture mode
Color reproduction differs depending on light conditions. For instance, when daylight or
tungsten lighting is reflected on white paper, the shade of white produced will be slightly
different for each. With a digital camera, white color can be adjusted to reproduce more
natural white with a digital processor. This is called white balance. There are 4 options for
setting the WB with this camera.
Auto white balance [AUTO]
This function enables the camera to automatically detect white in images and adjust the color
balance accordingly. Use this mode for general use.

8 different color temperatures are preset according to the light source. For example, use
preset WB when you want to reproduce more red in the picture of a sunset, or capture a
warmer artistic effect under artificial lighting.
Custom white balance [CWB]

refer to “White balance color temperature” (gP. 137).

In the red-eye reduction flash mode, a series of
pre-flashes are emitted just before the regular
flash fires. This helps accustom the subject’s
eyes to the bright light and minimizes the red-
eye phenomenon. In S/M mode, the flash
always fires.

Notes
After the pre-flashes, it takes about 1 second
before the shutter is released. Hold the camera firmly to avoid camera shake.
Effectiveness may be limited if the subject is not looking directly at pre-flashes, or if the
shooting range is too far. Individual physical characteristics may also limit effectiveness.
Slow synchronization (1st curtain)
#
SLOW
The slow synchronization flash is designed for slow shutter speeds. Normally, when shooting
with a flash, shutter speeds cannot go below a certain level to prevent camera shake. But
when shooting a subject against a night scene, fast shutter speeds can make the background
too dark. Slow synchronization allows you to capture both the background and the subject.
Since the shutter speed is slow, be sure to stabilize the camera by using a tripod so as not to
cause the picture to be blurred.
1st curtain
Usually, the flash fires right after the shutter fully opens. This is called 1st curtain. This
method is usually used during flash shooting.

Slow synchronization (2nd curtain)
#
SLOW2/2nd CURTAIN
2nd curtain flash fires just before the shutter closes. Changing the flash timing can create
interesting effects in your picture, such as expressing the movement of a car by showing the
tail-lights streaming backwards. The slower the shutter speed, the better the effects turn out.
In S/M mode, the flash always fires.
When the shutter speed is set to 2 sec.
Slow synchronization (1st curtain)/Red-eye reduction flash
!
SLOW
While using slow synchronization with flash shooting, you can also use this function to
achieve red-eye reduction. When shooting a subject against a night scene, this function
allows you to reduce the red-eye phenomenon. As the time from emitting pre-flashes to
shooting is long in 2nd curtain synchronization, it is difficult to achieve red-eye reduction.
Hence, only 1st curtain synchronization setting is available.
Fill-in flash
#
The flash fires regardless of the light conditions.
This mode is useful for eliminating shadows on
the subject’s face (such as shadows from tree
leaves), in a backlight situation, or for correcting
the color shift produced by artificial lighting
(especially fluorescent light).
x
Notes
When the flash fires, the shutter speed is set to 1/180 sec. or less. When shooting a subject
against a bright background with the fill-in flash, the background may be overexposed. In this
case, use the optional FL-50R external flash or a similar flash and shoot in the Super FP flash
mode. g“Super FP flash” (P. 80)

If you shoot a subject using a lens that is wider than 14mm (equivalent to 28mm on a 35mm
film camera), the light emitted by the flash may produce a vignette effect. Whether or not
vignetting occurs also depends on lens type and shooting conditions (such as distance to the
subject).

The flash intensity can be adjusted from +3 to –3.
In some situations (e.g., when shooting small subjects, distant backgrounds, etc.), you may
get better results by adjusting the amount of light emitted by the flash (“flash intensity”). It is
useful when you intend to increase the contrast (distinction between light and dark) of images
to make the images more vivid.

Notes
Although there is no limit to the number of wireless flashes you can use, it is recommended
that each group have no more than three flashes to prevent flash malfunction due to mutual
interference.
In RC mode, the built-in flash is used to control the wireless flash. The built-in flash cannot be
used for flash shooting in this mode.
For 2nd curtain synchronization, set the shutter speed and anti-shock settings to within 4
seconds. Wireless flash shooting may not operate properly when using a slower shutter
speed or anti-shock setting.
You cannot use the camera to adjust the amount of light emitted from a commercially
available flash except for a flash specified for use with this camera. To use a commercially
available flash, connect it to the hot shoe. Set the camera’s shooting mode to M.
Non-specified commercial flashes
1)
Exposures when using a flash require that adjustments be made on the flash. If a flash is
used in the auto mode, match it with the f-number and ISO sensitivity settings on the
camera.
2)
Even if the flash auto f-number and ISO sensitivity are set the same as on the camera, the
correct exposure may not be obtained depending on the shooting conditions. In such a case,
adjust the auto f-number or ISO on the flash or calculate the distance in the manual mode.
3)
Use a flash with an illumination angle that matches the focal length of the lens. The focal
length of the lens for 35 mm film is approximately twice as long as the focal length of the
lenses designed for this camera.
4)
Do not use a flash unit or other accessory TTL flash that has additional communication
functions other than the specified flashes, since it may not only fail to function normally, but
may also cause damage to the camera’s circuitry.

Subjects that are difficult to focus on
It may be difficult to focus with auto focus in the following situations.
In any situation, focus on something with high contrast that is at the same distance as the
subject, determine the composition and shoot the picture. g“Focus lock – If correct focus
cannot be obtained” (P. 60)
Image taken appears whitish
This may occur when the picture is taken in backlight or semi-backlight conditions. This is
due to a phenomenon called flare or ghosting. As far as possible, consider a composition
where strong light source is not taken in the picture. Flare may occur even when a light
source is not present in the picture. Use a lens hood to shade the lens from the light source.
If a lens hood does not have effect, use your hand to shade the lens from the light.
g“Interchangeable lenses” (P. 128)
Unknown bright dot(s) appear on the subject in the picture taken
This may be due to stuck pixel (s) on the image pickup device. Perform [PIXEL MAPPING]. If
the problem persists, repeat pixel mapping a few times. g“Pixel mapping – Checking the
image processing functions” (P. 125)
Functions that cannot be selected from menus

Cleaning and storing the camera
Cleaning the camera
Turn off the camera and remove the battery before cleaning the camera.
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 well wrung.
Monitor and viewfinder:
Wipe gently with a soft cloth.
Lens, mirror and focusing screen:
Blow dust off the lens, mirror and focusing screen with a commercially available blower. For the lens,
wipe gently with a lens cleaning paper.
Storage
When not using the camera for a prolonged period, remove the battery and card. Store the camera in
a cool, dry place that is well ventilated.
Insert the battery periodically and test the camera’s functions.
Cleaning and checking the image pickup device
This camera incorporates a dust reduction function to keep dust from getting on the image
pickup device and to remove any dust or dirt from the image pickup device surface with
ultrasonic vibrations. Dust reduction is activated when the ON/OFF switch is set to ON and
when starting and stopping live view. The dust reduction function operates at the same time
as the pixel mapping, which checks the image pickup device and image processing circuitry.
Since dust reduction is activated every time the camera’s power is turned on, the camera
should be held upright for the dust reduction function to be effective. The SSWF indicator
blinks while dust reduction is working.
g“SSWF indicator” (P. 14)

Notes
Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or alcohol, or a chemically treated cloth.
Avoid storing the camera in places where chemicals are treated, in order to protect the
camera from corrosion.
Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left dirty.
Check each part of the camera before use if it has not been used for a long time. Before
taking important pictures, be sure to take a test shot and check that the camera works
properly.

Cleaning mode – Removing dust
If dust or dirt gets on the image pickup device, black dots may appear in the picture. Contact
your Olympus Authorized Service Center to have the image pickup device physically
cleaned. The image pickup device is a precision device and is easily damaged. When
cleaning the image pickup device yourself, be sure to follow the instructions below. If power
runs out during cleaning, the shutter will close, which may cause the shutter curtain and
mirror to break. Keep an eye on the remaining battery power.

Clean the image pickup device.
Carefully blow off any dust on the surface of the image
pickup device by using a mechanical blower (commercially available).
6
Be careful not to catch the mechanical blower in the shutter curtain when
turning the power off to finish cleaning.
If the camera turns off, the shutter curtain closes, causing the mirror to fall.
x
Notes
Be careful not to let the mechanical blower (commercially available) touch the image pickup
device. If the blower touches the image pickup device, the image pickup device will be
damaged.
Never put the mechanical blower behind the lens mount. If the power turns off, the shutter
closes, breaking the shutter curtain.
Do not use anything other than the mechanical blower. If high-pressure gas is sprayed onto
the image pickup device, it will freeze on the image pickup device’s surface, damaging the
image pickup device.
Pixel mapping – Checking the image processing functions
The pixel mapping feature allows the camera to check and adjust the image pickup device
and image processing functions. After using the monitor or taking continuous shots, wait for

Usable cards
“Card” in this manual refers to a recording medium. This camera can use CompactFlash,
Microdrive or xD-Picture Card (optional).
Precautions when using a Microdrive
A Microdrive is a medium that uses a compact hard disk drive. Because the disk drive
rotates, a Microdrive is not as resistant to vibration or impact as other cards. Special care is
needed when using a Microdrive (especially during recording and playback) to make sure the
camera is not subjected to shock or vibrations. Be sure to read the following precautions
before using a Microdrive.
Also, refer to the manuals provided with your Microdrive.
Be very careful when putting the camera down during recording. Place it gently on a firm surface.
Do not use the camera in places subject to vibrations or excessive shock, such as at a construction
site or in a car while driving along a bumpy road.
Do not take a Microdrive close to areas where it may be exposed to strong magnetism.
The Microdrive may not function correctly under low air pressure conditions, like in altitudes of
3,000 m (9,843 ft.) and higher.
x
Notes
The data in the card will not be erased completely even after formatting the card or deleting
the data. When discarding, destroy the card to prevent leakage of personal information.
Formatting the card
Non-Olympus cards or cards formatted on a computer must be formatted with the camera
before they can be used. All data stored on the card, including protected images, is erased
when the card is formatted. When formatting a used card, confirm there are no images that
you still want to keep on the card.

Select the lens that you want to shoot with.
Use a specified Four Thirds lens (Four Thirds mount). When a non-specified lens is used,
auto focus and light metering will not function correctly. In some cases, other functions may
not work either.
FOUR THIRDS mount
Developed by Olympus as the lens mount standard for the Four Thirds system. These
all-new interchangeable lenses featuring the Four Thirds mount were developed from the
ground up based on optic engineering exclusively for digital cameras.
ZUIKO DIGITAL interchangeable lenses
Four Thirds system interchangeable lens are designed to withstand rigorous professional
use. The Four Thirds system makes it possible for a fast lens to be compact and lightweight
as well.
Focal length and depth of field of Four Thirds system lenses
When compared to 35-mm cameras, Four Thirds system cameras achieve different effects at
the same focal length and aperture.
Focal length
At the same focal length of a 35-mm camera, a Four Thirds system camera can achieve a
focal length equivalent to twice that of a 35-mm camera. This enables the design of compact
telephoto lenses. A 14-50 mm Four Thirds system lens, for example, is equivalent to a
28 – 100 mm lens for a 35-mm camera.
When the image angle of Four Thirds system lens is converted to that of a 35-mm camera, the
perspective is the same as that of a 35-mm camera.
Depth of Field
A Four Thirds system camera can achieve a depth of field equivalent to two times deeper
than that of a 35-mm camera. A Four Thirds system lens with f2.0 brightness, for example, is
equivalent to f4.0 when converted to the aperture of a 35-mm camera.
You can achieve the same amount of background blur as if you were using a 35-mm camera.

Notes
When you attach or remove the body cap and lens from the camera, keep the lens mount on
the camera pointed downward. This helps prevent dust and other foreign matter from getting
inside the camera.
Do not remove the body cap or attach the lens in dusty places.
Do not point the lens attached to the camera toward the sun. This may cause the camera to
malfunction or even ignite due to the magnifying effect of sunlight focusing through the lens.
Be careful not to lose the body cap and rear cap.
Attach the body cap to the camera to prevent dust from getting inside when no lens is
attached.

The higher the color temperature, the richer
the light in bluish tones and the poorer in
reddish; the lower the color temperature, the
richer the light in reddish tones and the
poorer in bluish. The spectral balance of
different white light sources is rated
numerically by color temperature – concept
of physics expressed using the Kelvin (K)
temperature scale. The color of sunlight and
other natural light sources and the color of a
light bulb and other artificial light sources
can be expressed in terms of color
temperature.
It follows, then, that the color temperatures of fluorescent lights make them unsuitable as
artificial light sources. There are gaps in the hues from the color temperatures of fluorescent
light. If these differences in hue are small, they can be calculated with color temperature and
this is called correlated color temperature.
The 4000K, 4500K and 6600K preset settings in this camera are correlated color
temperatures, and should not be considered strictly as color temperatures. Use these
settings for shooting conditions under fluorescent lights.

WARNING
(
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.
You must be at least 1 m (3 ft.) away from the faces of your subjects. Firing the flash too close to the
subject’s 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.
CAUTION
(
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 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 camera’s 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.
DANGER
The camera uses a lithium ion battery specified by Olympus. Charge the battery with the specified charger. Do
not use any other chargers.
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 high temperatures 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, by soldering, etc.
If battery fluid gets into your eyes, flush 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.
WARNING
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.
Insert the battery carefully as described in the operating instructions.

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.
CAUTION
Before loading, always inspect the battery carefully for leaks, discoloration, warping, or any other abnormality.
The battery may become hot during prolonged use. To avoid minor burns, do not remove it immediately after
using the camera.
Always unload the battery from the camera before storing the camera for a long period.
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 battery’s instruction manual carefully before using it.
If the battery’s 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 planet’s resources. When you throw away dead batteries, be sure to
cover their terminals and always observe local laws and regulations.
To protect the high-precision technology contained in this product, never leave the camera in the places listed
below, no matter if in use or storage:
Places where temperatures and/or humidity are high or go through extreme changes. Direct sunlight,
beaches, locked cars, or near other heat sources (stove, radiator, etc.) or humidifiers.
In sandy or dusty environments.
Near flammable items or explosives.
In wet places, such as bathrooms or in the rain. When using products with weatherproof designs, read their
manuals as well.
In places prone to strong vibrations.
Never drop the camera or subject it to severe shocks or vibrations.
When mounted on a tripod, adjust the position of the camera with the tripod head. Do not twist the camera.
Do not leave the camera pointed directly at the sun. This may cause lens or shutter curtain damage, color
failure, ghosting on the image pickup device, or may possibly cause fires.
Do not touch electric contacts on cameras and interchangeable lenses. Remember to attach the body cap
when removing the lens.
Before storing the camera for a long period, remove the battery. Select a cool, dry location for storage to
prevent condensation or mold from forming inside the camera. After storage, test the camera by turning it on
and pressing the shutter release button to make sure that it is operating normally.
Always observe the operating environment restrictions described in the camera’s manual.
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 LCD 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. An LCD 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 LCD 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.

  • Hallo, ik heb een paar jaar geleden de E620 gekocht. Tezamen met de objectieven Zuiko Digital ED 14-42 en 40-150. In het geval ik nu mooie close up beelden wil maken welk objectief die kwalitatief en prijstechnisch interessant is komt dan hier voor in aanmerking? En daarnaast de vraag welk filter je het beste kunt gebruiken.

    Wie kan mij hierin verder helpen? Gesteld op 19-6-2013 om 22:14

    • Ik heb een zuiko 50 mm 1:2 voor macro foto's onderwater gekocht.
      Dit is geen goedkope lens, maar wel erg lichtsterk. Ik ben er tevreden over.
      Ik gebruik geen filter, behalve een uv, maar dat is ter bescherming van het glas.

      Dit is overigens geen super macro lens. Geantwoord op 20-12-2013 om 10:06

    • 2e hands gekocht, geweldig die handleiding hier.
      Het is geen apparaat om zo even te doorgronden.
      Veel eigen termen heeft Olympus soms die ook mij vreemd voorkomen.
      Het lijkt wel een camera voor echte fotografen,
      als je analoog gewend bent is dat een pré.
      Ben hevig aan de studie nu. :)

      Bedankt voor jullie mooie werk. Geantwoord op 7-3-2013 om 14:31
