MEMO
The advanced shooting and playback techniques used by professional
photographers are drawn from years of experience and skill in making
precise camera adjustments.
Now, with your digital camera, you’ll be able to take advantage of those
same advanced techniques simply by pressing a few buttons.
You’ll find a wide choice of shooting functions listed in the camera’s
menus that make it easy to change the focusing area, adjust the white
balance, etc. The menus can be navigated simply by pressing buttons
while viewing the monitor.
But before you can use these functions, you first need to learn how to
operate the buttons and menus.

In most shooting situations, the camera can give you satisfying results if
you simply press the shutter button. However, sometimes you may come
across a subject that is difficult to focus on. This chapter explains how to
deal with those hard-to-focus subjects.
Another important thing is to select the appropriate record mode before
you start shooting. Remember that depending on what you are going to
do with your shots later, you may find that the image looks grainy in large
prints, the file size is too big for e-mail, etc. To avoid this kind of problem,
always check the record mode before shooting.

Subjects that are difficult to focus on
Under the following conditions, auto focus may not work properly.
The green lamp blinks:
The subject cannot be
brought into focus.
Subjects with low contrast
Subjects in excessively bright
light in the center of the frame
Subjects with no vertical
lines
The green lamp lights, but
the subject cannot be
brought into focus.
Subjects with different
distances
Fast-moving subjects The subject you are
focusing on is not in the
center of the frame.
If this happens, focus on a high-contrast object the same distance away as the
intended subject, recompose your shot and then take the picture. If the subject has
no vertical lines, hold the camera vertically and adjust the focus, then return the
camera to the horizontal position to take the picture.

The number of pixels (horizontal x vertical) used when saving an image. If the image is
going to be printed, higher resolutions (larger numbers) are recommended so that the
image will be clearer. However, higher resolutions make the file size (amount of data)
larger, so fewer pictures can be saved.
Resolution
When a picture is transferred to a computer, the size of the picture on the computer screen
varies depending on the computer’s monitor setting. For instance, a picture taken in 1024 x
768 resolution is the same size as the screen if you set the picture to 1x when the monitor
setting is 1024 x 768. However, if the monitor setting is over 1024 x 768 (such as 1280 x
1024), the picture only takes up part of the screen.

Close-ups of small objects like flowers or jewelry, capturing a fast-
moving subject like a child running around, shooting with a natural-
looking illuminated background at night — did you ever wonder how to
achieve the results you want without complicated and time-consuming
camera settings?
With this camera, you will find a new way of capturing all those special
moments and effects in an instant. All you have to do is to select the
appropriate mode, and concentrate on your composition; no complicated
settings as with other cameras.
Also, many more features are available, including panorama shooting for
assembling several images to form a single panoramic image, and 2-in-1
shooting to store two successive images as a single picture, features
which only a digital camera can provide. The more you shoot, the more
possibilities you will discover.

Zoom
Telephoto shooting is possible by using the optical and digital zoom. The optical
zoom uses the lens of the camera to move you closer to your subject, and digital
zoom crops the center of the image projected onto the CCD and enlarges it
digitally with slightly reduced picture quality.
This camera offers 2.8x optical zoom magnification (equivalent to 40 mm to 112
mm on a 35 mm film camera). By combining the optical zoom and digital zoom,
you can increase magnification up to approximately 30x (record mode: SQ2).
The maximum zoom magnification is 15x when shooting still pictures in the SHQ,
HQ or SQ1 modes. The maximum zoom magnification is 11x when shooting
movies.

MEMO
If you wish to go beyond simple shooting using only the shutter button,
you will find various functions that can be used to modify
image/brightness/exposure parameters to achieve remarkably better
results.
For instance, if you want to shoot in a place where the use of a flash is
prohibited, such as a museum or theater, or if your subject would
strongly reflect the flash light, shooting without the flash would typically
result in a blurred or dark picture. To overcome this problem, try adjusting
the ISO setting; use a lower ISO value with normal light, and a higher
ISO value with dark subjects.
With exposure compensation you can adjust the image brightness and
make a significant difference to how the picture turns out. Try adjusting
toward “–” when shooting a sunset. The setting sun will glow dark red
over the dark ocean.

Flash
You can select from 4 different flash modes depending on the light conditions and
the effect you want to achieve.
Auto-flash (No indication)
Automatically fires in low-light and backlight conditions.
Red-eye reduction flash ()
The light from the flash may make
the subject’s eyes appear red in the
image. The red-eye reduction flash
mode significantly reduces this
phenomenon by emitting pre-
flashes before firing the regular
flash. This helps accustom the
subject’s eyes to the bright light and
minimizes the red-eye
phenomenon.
Fill-in flash ()
The flash fires regardless of
available light. This mode is useful
for eliminating shadows on the
subject’s face (such as shadows
from tree leaves) or for correcting
the color shift produced by artificial
lighting (especially fluorescent light).
Flash off ()
The flash does not fire even in low light conditions. Use this mode in situations
where flash photography is not desired or is prohibited. You can also use this
mode when you want to shoot a natural-looking twilight or night scene.
The subject’s eyes
appear red.

● When there is a likelihood that camera movement will occur in the flash off
mode, the (camera movement warning) mark blinks. Use the flash.
Red-eye reduction flash ()
● After the pre-flash, it takes approximately 1 second before the shutter is
released. Hold the camera firmly after the pre-flash to prevent camera
movement.
● Effectiveness may be limited if the subject is not looking directly at the pre-
flashes, or if the shooting range is too far. Individual physical characteristics
may also limit effectiveness.
Fill-in flash ()
● Fill-in flash may not have the desired effect under excessively bright light.
Flash off ()
● Since a slow shutter speed is automatically selected in low-light situations in
the flash off mode, it is recommended that you stabilize the camera to
prevent your pictures from being blurred by camera movement.

The higher the ISO value, the greater the camera’s light sensitivity and the better
its ability to shoot in low light conditions. However, higher values also introduce
noise into the resulting image, which may give them a grainy appearance.
● ISO sensitivity expresses the speed of photographic negative with film
cameras, and the given values with a digital camera are ISO equivalent.
● When ISO is set to AUTO and you are shooting in dark conditions without a
flash, the sensitivity automatically increases; otherwise the shutter speed will
be reduced, possibly resulting in camera movement and blurred images.
● If the subject is too far away from the flash the sensitivity will be automatically
increased when ISO is set to AUTO.
Note
Sensitivity is automatically adjusted
according to the light conditions and
the subject brightness.
With a lower ISO setting, you can
shoot clear, sharp images in
daylight. With a higher ISO setting,
you can use faster shutter speeds
with the same amount of light.

In some situations, you may get better results when the exposure that the camera

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

One of the big advantages of a digital camera is that as soon as you take
a picture, you can see how it looks right away. That means that if the
picture is out of focus or just hasn’t turned out the way you want, you can
erase it and try again. With a film camera, on the other hand, you won’t
know if there is a problem with the picture until you get the film
developed. Because a digital camera lets you erase those unwanted
images, you can keep more memory free to store images and take more
shots.You can also protect images that you do not want to erase.
Another benefit is that you can edit recorded images: change colors to
black and white or sepia, trim images, change the resolution, etc.
So take advantage of your digital camera’s benefits and have fun taking
great pictures.

Thanks to digital technology you can effortlessly customize many of your
camera’s functions. For example, you can turn off the shutter sound
when you are about to take pictures inside museum, change the
slideshow transition pattern, or use one of your own images for the
camera’s startup screen. Best of all, the camera will remember your
preferred settings when you turn it on again. This chapter introduces all
those functions that accommodate your preferences. Try these functions
to find ways to use your camera even more effectively.

Turning the images you shot into prints is the next step in digital imaging.
You can print your images at photo labs or on your own printer. If you
print at photo labs, you’ll find the print reservation function helpful. Print
reservation allows you to save the number of prints and the date and
time information on the card.
If you print on a printer, there are a number of different ways to do it. One
method is to connect your digital camera to an exclusive printer and print
out recorded pictures directly from the camera. The other is to transfer
images to a computer and print them on a printer connected to the

Print reservation (DPOF)
Print reservation allows you to save printing data (the number of prints and the
date/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 lab that supports DPOF.
DPOF is a standard format used to record automatic print information from digital
cameras. You can print out pictures automatically, at home or in a photo lab, by
storing such data as which pictures you wish to print and the number of prints on a
card.
Pictures set with print reservation can be printed using the following procedures.
Printing using a DPOF-compatible photo lab
You can print the 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 PC. For more details, refer to the printer’s instruction manual.
A PC card adapter may also be necessary.

Print reservation (DPOF)
● 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 will erase the previous reservations.
● If there is not enough space in the card memory, CARD FULL will be
displayed and you may not be able to enter the reservation data.
● 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 labs.
● Print reservation may take considerable time when saving printing data to a
card.
Note
The resolution of a computer/printer is generally based on the number of dots
(pixels) per square inch. This is called dpi (dots per inch). The higher the dpi
value, the better the printed results. Keep in mind, however, that the dpi of the
picture does not change. This means that when you print an image with a
higher resolution, the size of the printed picture will be smaller. Although you
can print magnified images, picture quality will decrease.
If you want to print large, high-quality pictures, set the record mode as high as
possible when taking the pictures. ~ “Selecting the record mode” (P. 29)

Transferring images to your computer is a great way to make the most of
the potential of digital imaging. Not only can you print the images of your
choice, you can also use image processing software to organize, edit,
and manipulate images. There are so many things you can do. Sort
images by date/time or other criteria. Trim, crop, colorize, or add special
effects. And much more.
Once you’ve transferred images to your computer, you can email them to
friends, post them on your website, create slideshows or HTML albums,

● Do not leave the camera pointed directly at the sun. This may cause lens damage, color
failure, ghosting on the CCD, or may possibly cause fires.
● Condensation may form inside the camera when there is a sudden extreme change in
temperature (such as when moving from indoors to outdoors). Acclimatize the camera to the
temperature (e.g. by putting the camera into the plastic bag) before use.
● Do not touch electric contacts on cameras.
● If the camera has not been used for a long time, mold may form or the camera may
malfunction. Before using the camera, check that the camera works properly.
Battery handling precautions
● This camera uses an 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 the 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

Appendix
LCD monitor
● Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise the image may become fuzzy,
resulting in a playback mode failure or damage to the monitor. If the monitor is
damaged, be careful not to get any of the liquid crystals from the monitor in your
mouth. If liquid crystals get on your limbs or clothes, wash them off.
● 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. A LCD
monitor exhibiting poor performance due to low temperatures will recover in
normal temperatures.
● The LCD monitor is made with high-precision technology. However, black
spots or bright spots of light may appear on the LCD monitor.These spots
may not be uniform in color and brightness depending on their
characteristics or the angle at which you are viewing the monitor.This is
not a malfunction.

CCD (Charge-Coupled Device)
This converts light passing through the lens into electrical signals. With this
camera, light is picked up and converted into RGB signals to build a single image.
DCF (Design rule for Camera File system)
A standard for image files by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology
Industries Association (JEITA).
Digital ESP (Electro-Selective Pattern) Light Metering
This determines the exposure by metering and calculating the light levels in the
center and other areas of the image separately. With this camera, this system
works when the metering mode is set to ESP.
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)
This is for saving desired print settings on digital cameras. By entering which
images to print and the number of copies of each, the user can easily have the
desired images printed by a printer or print lab that supports the DPOF format.
EV (Exposure Value)
A system for measuring exposure. EV0 is when the aperture is at F1 and the
shutter speed is 1 second. The EV then increases by 1 each time the aperture
increases by one F stop or the shutter speed increases by one increment. EV can
also be used to indicate brightness and ISO settings.
Exposure
The amount of light used to capture an image. The exposure is determined by the
time the shutter is open (shutter speed) and the amount of light that passes
through the lens (aperture).
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
A compression format for color still images. Photographs (images) shot using this
camera are recorded onto the card in JPEG format. By downloading these images to
a personal computer, users can edit them using graphics application software or
view the images using an Internet web browser.
NTSC (National Television Systems Committee) / PAL (Phase Alternating
Line)
Television formats. NTSC is mainly used in Japan, North America and Korea. PAL
is mainly used in Europe and China.
