Setting the image aspect
You can change the aspect ratio (horizontal-to-vertical ratio) when taking pictures
using live view. Depending on your preference, you can set the aspect ratio to [4:3]
(standard), [16:9], [3:2], [6:6], or [3:4].
1
Display the live control (P. 20) and select the aspect ratio item using
FG.
2
Use HI to select an aspect ratio and press Q.
# Cautions
JPEG images are cropped to the selected aspect ratio; RAW images, however, are not
cropped but are instead saved with information on the selected aspect ratio.
When RAW images are played back, the selected aspect ratio is shown by a frame.
% Tips
For information on cropping existing photographs or changing their aspect ratio, see
“Editing still images” (P. 67).
ISO sensitivity
Increasing ISO sensitivity increases noise (graininess) but allows photographs to be
taken when lighting is poor. The setting recommended in most situations is [AUTO],
which starts at ISO 200 — a value that balances noise and dynamic range — and then
adjusts ISO sensitivity according to shooting conditions.
1
Display the live control (P. 20) and select the ISO sensitivity item using
FG.

$ Notes
To cancel the activated self-timer, press the jY button.
During sequential shooting, focus, exposure, and white balance are locked at the fi rst
frame (during [S-AF], [MF]).
# Cautions
During sequential shooting, if the battery check blinks due to low battery, the camera
stops shooting and starts saving the pictures you have taken on the card. The camera
may not save all of the pictures depending on how much battery power remains.
Fix the camera securely on a tripod for self-timer shooting.
If you stand in front of the camera to press the shutter button halfway when using the self-
timer, the photograph may be out of focus.

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. [Noise Reduct.]: g “Customizing camera settings” (P. 81)

Other external fl ash units
Observe the following precautions when mounting an external fl ash unit not designated
for use with this camera on the camera hot shoe:
Using obsolete fl ash units that apply currents of more than about 24 V to the camera hot
shoe X-contact will damage the camera.
Connecting fl ash units with signal contacts that do not conform to Olympus specifi cations
may damage the camera.
Use only with the camera in shooting mode M at shutter speeds slower than 1/180 s and
at ISO settings other than [AUTO].
Flash control can only be performed by manually setting the fl ash to the ISO sensitivity
and aperture values selected with the camera. Flash brightness can be adjusted by
adjusting either ISO sensitivity or aperture.
Use a fl ash with an angle of illumination suited to the lens. Angle of illumination is usually
expressed using 35-mm format equivalent focal lengths.

# Cautions
When recording a movie, you cannot change the settings for exposure compensation,
aperture value, and shutter speed.
If [Image Stabilizer] is activated while recording a movie, the recorded image is enlarged
slightly. Even if [Vertical IS] or [Horizontal IS] is selected, the setting for [Auto] is applied.
Stabilization is not possible when the camera shake is excessive.
When using a lens with the image stabilizer function, turn off the image stabilizer function
of either the lens or the camera.
When the inside of the camera becomes hot, shooting is automatically stopped to protect
the camera.
With some art fi lters, [C-AF] operation is limited.
Cards with an SD speed class of 6 or above are recommended for movie recording.

# Cautions
We recommend using a single group of up to three remote fl ash units.
Remote fl ash units can not be used for second curtain slow synchronization or anti-shock
exposures longer than 4 seconds.
If the subject is too close to the camera, the control fl ashes emitted by the built-in fl ash
may affect exposure (this effect can be reduced by reducing the output of the built-in fl ash
by, for example, using a diffuser).

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:
Wipe gently with a soft cloth.
Lens:
Blow dust off the lens 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.
Remove dust and other foreign matter from the body and rear caps before attaching them.
Attach the body cap to the camera to prevent dust from getting inside when no lens is
attached. Be sure to replace the front and rear lens caps before putting the lens away.
Clean the camera after use.
Do not store with insect repellent.
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. The dust reduction function operates when the
camera is turned on.
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.
# Cautions
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.
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 at least one minute before using the pixel mapping function to ensure
that it operates correctly.

The SD card body has a write protect switch. If you set the switch to
the “LOCK” side, you will not be able to write to the card, delete data or
format. Return the switch to the unlock position enable writing.
LOCK
# Cautions
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.
Use the Eye-Fi card in compliance with the laws and regulations of the country where the
camera is used.
In locations such as on an airplane, where the Eye-Fi communication is prohibited,
remove the Eye-Fi card from the camera, or set [Eye-Fi] (P. 88) to [Off].
The Eye-Fi card may became hot during use.
When using an Eye-Fi card, the battery may run out faster.
When using an Eye-Fi card, the camera may function more slowly.
Formatting the card
Cards formatted on a computer or other camera must be formatted with the camera
before they can be used.

Battery and charger
Use the single Olympus lithium-ion battery. Use only genuine OLYMPUS rechargeable
batteries.
Use only compatible battery chargers to charge rechargeable batteries. BLS-1 batteries
must be charged using the BCS-1, BLS-5 batteries using the BCS-5.
The camera’s power consumption varies widely with usage and other conditions.
As the following consume a lot of power even without shooting, the battery will be drained
quickly.
Performing auto focus repeatedly by pressing the shutter button halfway in shooting
mode.
Displaying images on the monitor for a prolonged period.
When connected to a computer or printer.
When using a drained battery, the camera may turn off without the low battery warning
being displayed.
The battery will not be fully charged at the time of purchase. Charge the battery using the
provided charger before use.
The normal charging time using the provided charger is approximately 3 hours 30 minutes
(estimated).
Do not attempt to use chargers not specifi cally designated for use with the supplied
battery, or to use batteries not specifi cally designated for use with the supplied charger.
# Cautions
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with the incorrect battery type.
Dispose of the used battery following the instructions. “Battery Handling Precautions”
(P. 114)
Using your charger abroad
The charger can be used in most home electrical sources within the range of 100 V to
240 V AC (50/60 Hz) around the world. However, depending on the country or area you
are in, the AC wall outlet may be shaped differently and the charger may require a plug
adapter to match the wall outlet. For details, ask at your local electrical shop or travel
agent.
Do not use commercially available travel adapters as the charger may malfunction.
Interchangeable lenses
Choose a lens according to the scene and your creative intent. Use
lenses designed exclusively for the Four Thirds system and bearing the
M. ZUIKO label or the symbol shown at right. With an adapter, you can
also use Four Thirds System and OM System lenses.
# Cautions
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.

Principal Accessories
Mount adapter
Mount adapter allows the camera to be used with lenses that do not conform to the
Micro Four Thirds System standard.
Four Thirds lens adapter (MMF–2)
The camera requires MMF-2 Four Thirds lens adapter to attach Four Thirds lenses.
Some features, such as autofocus, may not be available.
OM adapter (MF–2)
Use with existing OLYMPUS OM System lenses. Focus and aperture must be adjusted
manually. Image stabilization can be used. Input the focal length of the lens being used
in the camera image stabilization settings.
Remote cable (RM–UC1)
Use when the slightest camera movement can result in blurred pictures, for example
for macro or bulb photography. The remote cable attaches via the camera USB
connector.
Converter lenses
Converter lenses attach to the camera lens for quick and easy fi sh-eye or macro
photography. See the OLYMPUS website for information on the lenses that can
be used.
Use the appropriate lens attachment for SCN mode (f, w, or m).
Macro arm light (MAL–1)
Use to illuminate subjects for macro photography, even at ranges at which vignetting
would occur with the fl ash.
Microphone set (SEMA–1)
Produces higher-quality recordings than the camera’s built-in microphone. The
microphone can be placed at a distance from the camera to avoid recording ambient
sounds or wind noise. Third-party commercial microphones can also be used
depending on your creative intent (power supplied via l3.5 mm stereo mini-plug).
Electronic viewfi nder (VF-2)
Electronic viewfi nders can be used to view the shooting display. This is convenient
when you are in a very bright location, such as under direct sunlight, where it is diffi cult
to view the monitor, or are using the camera at a low angle.

External fl ash shooting
With this camera, you can use one of the separately sold external fl ash units to achieve
a fl ash suited to your needs. The external fl ashes communicate with the camera,
allowing you to control the camera’s fl ash modes with various available fl ash control
modes, such as TTL-AUTO and Super FP fl ash.
An external fl ash unit specifi ed for use with this camera can be mounted on the camera
by attaching it to the camera’s hot shoe. You can also attach the fl ash to the fl ash
bracket on the camera using the bracket cable (optional). Refer to the documentation
provided with the external fl ash units as well.

decreased brightness or mottling in some
areas of the monitor. In some cases this
effect may be permanent. Image data are not
affected.
In the unlikely event of the monitor breaking,
do not put the organic substance into your
mouth. Any of the material adhering to your
hands, feet, or clothing should be rinsed off
immediately.
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. An monitor exhibiting poor
performance due to low temperatures will
recover in normal temperatures.
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.
