How to make print reservations

Print reservation allows you to save printing data (the number of prints and the date and 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 store that supports DPOF. DPOF is a standard format used to record automatic print information from digital cameras.

Only the images stored on the card can be reserved to print. Insert a card with recorded pictures into the camera before making print reservations.

Pictures with print reservations can be printed using the following procedures.

Printing using a DPOF-compatible photo store.

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 computer. For more details, refer to the printer’s instruction manual. A PC card adapter may also be necessary.

Note

• 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 may overwrite the previous reservations.

• 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 stores.

To use print services without using DPOF

• Pictures stored in the internal memory cannot be printed at a photo store. The pictures need to be copied to a card before taking them. g “BACKUP Copying pictures in the internal memory to the card” (P. 27)

Shooting tips

Focusing on the subject

There are several ways to focus, depending on the subject.

When the subject is not in the center of the frame

• Place the subject in the center of the frame, lock the focus on the subject, and

then recompose your picture.

The subject is moving quickly

• Focus the camera on a point roughly the same distance away as the subject

you want to shoot (by pressing the shutter button halfway), and then recompose your picture and wait for the subject to enter the frame.

Subjects that are difficult to focus on

• Under certain types of conditions, it is difficult to focus using auto focus. The

green lamp on the monitor lights, allowing you to check if the focus is locked.

The green lamp blinks. The subject cannot be brought into focus.

The green lamp lights, but the subject cannot be brought into focus.

In these cases, focus (focus lock) on an object with high contrast at the same distance as the intended subject, recompose your shot and then take the picture. If the subject has no vertical lines, hold the camera vertically and focus the camera using the focus lock function by pressing the shutter button halfway, and then return the camera to the horizontal position while keeping the button pressed halfway and take the picture.

Taking pictures without blurring

Hold the camera correctly and press the shutter button gently to shoot the picture. In addition, turn the mode dial to h when taking a picture to reduce blurring. The factors that can cause the picture to blur are as follows:

• When you use the optical zoom, digital zoom, or zoom at such higher

magnifications to shoot the picture

• When the shutter speed is set low to shoot a dark subject

• When the flash cannot be used or a low shutter speed set shooting mode is

selected.

Taking pictures without the flash

The flash fires automatically when there is insufficient light or when blurring may occur. If the subject is too far away, the flash may have no effect. Here is how to take pictures without the flash in this type of situation.

Set the camera to h mode

• Because the sensitivity of the CCD increases automatically, you can hold the

camera and take pictures in darker places with the flash off.

g “h Shooting pictures using digital image stabilization” (P. 15)

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.

Taking pictures with the mode dial set to M or f mode set to W, S or X

• When taking pictures with the above scene modes, noise reduction can be

automatically turned on for clearer pictures of dark subjects. If noise reduction does not turn on, the picture may appear grainy.

Getting to know your camera better

Taking pictures of a white beach or snow scene

• Often, bright subjects (such as snow) turn out darker than their natural colors.

Adjust [EXPOSURE COMP.] toward [+] to make these subjects closer to their real shades. Conversely, when you are shooting dark subjects, it can be effective to adjust toward [–]. Sometimes, using the flash may not produce the brightness (exposure) that was intended.

g “EXPOSURE COMP. Changing picture brightness” (P. 23)

Taking pictures of a subject against backlight

• 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 lighting.

g “Y# button Flash shooting” (P. 17)

Additional shooting tips and information

Glossary of terms

CCD (Charge-Coupled Device)

This converts light passing through the lens into electrical signals. On 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).

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.

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).

Image size

The size of an image expressed by the number of pixels that make up the image. For instance, a picture taken with an image size of 640 × 480 fills the computer screen when the monitor setting is 640 × 480. However, if the monitor setting is 1,024 × 768, the picture only takes up part of the screen.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

A compression format for still images. Photographs (pictures) taken using this camera are recorded onto the card in JPEG format. By downloading these images to a computer, users can edit them using graphics application software or view the images using an Internet web browser.

Noise reduction

When shooting in dark places, shutter speeds become slower as there is less light focused on the CCD. During long exposures, signals are generated by parts of the CCD where no light is focused and are recorded on the picture as noise. When noise reduction works, the camera automatically reduces the noise to produce clearer images.

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.

PictBridge

A standard for connecting digital cameras and printers of different makers and printing out pictures directly.

Pixels

A pixel is the smallest unit (dot) used to make up an image. Clear large-sized printed images require millions of pixels.

Sleep mode

A mode designed to save battery life. The camera automatically enters the sleep mode if you do not operate it for a certain time. To exit the sleep mode, use any button on the camera (shutter button, arrow pad, etc.).

TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) Color Monitor

A transistor color monitor constructed using thin-film technology.

• 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.

Batteries whose terminals are raised, but not covered by an insulating sheet.

Batteries whose terminals are flat and not completely covered by an insulating sheet. (Such batteries cannot be used even if the - terminals are partially covered.)

Caution for Usage Environment

• 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 touch electric contacts on cameras.

• Do not leave the camera pointed directly at the sun. This may cause lens or shutter curtain damage, color failure, ghosting on the CCD, or may possibly cause fires.

• Do not push or pull severely on 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.

Battery Handling Precautions

• Olympus NiMH batteries (included in some areas) are intended for use only with Olympus digital cameras. Never use these batteries with any other device.

• Always charge NiMH batteries (included in some areas) before using them for the first time, or if they have not been used for a long period.

• Always charge sets of batteries (included in some areas) (2 or 4) together.

• Do not use alkaline batteries unless it is absolutely necessary. In some cases, alkaline batteries may have a shorter service life than NiMH battery packs. Alkaline battery performance is limited, especially at low temperatures. The use of NiMH batteries is recommended.

• CR-V3 lithium battery packs and AA manganese (Zinc-Carbon) batteries cannot be used with this camera.

• When operating the camera with battery power at low temperatures, try to keep the camera and spare batteries as warm as possible. Batteries which run down at low temperatures may be restored after they are warmed at room temperature.

• Recommended temperature ranges for NiMH batteries:

Miscellaneous

Operation....................... 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)

Charge........................... 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)

Storage.......................... -20°C to 30°C (- 4°F to 86°F)

• Using, charging, or storing the batteries outside these ranges could shorten battery life or affect battery performance. Always unload the batteries from the camera before storing the camera for a long period.

• Before using NiMH or NiCd batteries, always read the provided instructions.

• The number of pictures you can take may vary depending on the shooting conditions or batteries.

• Before going on a long trip, and especially before traveling abroad, purchase an ample supply of extra batteries. The recommended batteries may be difficult to obtain while traveling.

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 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.
