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.

Print reservation (DPOF*)

You can save digital “print orders” to the memory card listing the pictures to be printed and the number of copies of each print. You can then have the pictures printed at a print shop that supports DPOF or print the pictures yourself by connecting the camera directly to a DPOF printer.

Information

Shooting tips and information

Charge the battery with the charger.

Battery performance drops at low temperatures. Remove the battery and warm it by putting it in your pocket for a while.

The camera automatically enters sleep mode to reduce the drain on the battery if no operations are performed for a set period of time. g [Sleep] (P. 15) If no operations are performed for a set time (5 minutes) after the camera has entered sleep mode, the camera will turn off automatically.

On the monitor, the # mark blinks when charging is in progress. Wait for the blinking to stop, then press the shutter button.

The camera can not focus on subjects that are too close to the camera or that are not suited to autofocus (the AF conﬁ rmation mark will blink in the monitor). Increase the distance to the subject or focus on a high contrast object at the same distance from the camera as your main subject, compose the shot, and shoot.

AF conﬁ rmation mark is blinking. These subjects are not focused.

Subject with low contrast

Excessively bright light in center of frame

Subject containing no vertical lines

Noise reduction is activated

When shooting night scenes, shutter speeds are slower and noise tends to appear in

• images. The camera activates the noise-reduction process after shooting at slow shutter speeds. During which, shooting is not allowed. You can set [Noise Reduct.] to [Off]. g “Customizing camera settings” (P. 81)

The date and time has not been set

The camera is used with the settings at the time of purchase

The date and time of the camera is not set when purchased. Set the date and time before

• using the camera. g “Setting the date/time” (P. 9)

The battery has been removed from the camera

The date and time settings will be returned to the factory default settings if the camera is

• left without the battery for approximately 1 day. The settings will be cancelled more quickly if the battery was only loaded in the camera for a short time before being removed. Before taking important pictures, check that the date and time settings are correct.

Set functions are restored to their factory default settings

In modes other than P, A, S, and M, default settings are restored when another shooting mode is selected or the camera is turned off.

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 ﬂ are 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. 100)

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. 98)

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

Information

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

•

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.

Cleaning and storing the camera

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.

Wipe gently with a soft cloth.

Blow dust off the lens with a commercially available blower. For the lens, wipe gently with a lens cleaning paper.

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.

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.

Select [Pixel Mapping] in c Custom Menu (P. 81) tab b.

Press I, then press Q.

The [Busy] bar is displayed when pixel mapping is in progress. When pixel mapping

• is ﬁ nished, the menu is restored.

# Cautions

If you accidentally turn the camera off during pixel mapping, start again from Step 1.

# 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 must be formatted with this camera before ﬁ rst use or after being used with other cameras or computers. All data stored on the card, including protected images, is erased when the card is formatted. When formatting a used card, conﬁ rm there are no images that you still want to keep on the card.

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 supplied charger before use. The normal charging time using the supplied 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.

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 Micro 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.
