Shooting tips and information
Tips before you start taking pictures
The camera does not turn on even when a battery is loaded
The battery is not charged
• Charge the battery with the charger.
The battery is temporarily unable to function because of the cold
• Battery perf ormance declines in low temperatures, and the char ge may not be sufficient to turn on
the camera. Remove the battery and warm it by putting it in your pocket for a while.
The card cannot be used
If the contact area of the card is dirty/dust, data in the card cannot be read and the [CARD SETUP]
screen appears. In this case, select [CLEAN CARD], press , remove the card, and then wipe the
contact area with a soft dry cloth.
No picture is taken when the shutter button is pressed
The camera is in sleep mode
• To save battery power, the camera automatically goes into sleep mode and the monitor turns off if
there is no operation for 3 minutes when the camera is turned on. No picture is taken even if the
shutter button is fully pressed in this mode. Operate the zoom lever or other buttons to restore the
camera from sleep mode before taking a picture. If the camera is left on for 12 minutes, it
automatically turns off. Press o to turn the camera on.
The mode dial is in the position of R
• No pictures can be taken when the shooting guide is being displayed. Take pictures after selecting
the settings by following the shooting guide, or turn the mode dial and set it to a shooting mode other
than R.
The flash is charging
• Wait until the # (flash charge) mark stops blinking before taking the picture.
The camera's internal temperature increases.
• With prolonged camera use, the internal temperature may increase, resulting in automatic
shutdown. If this occurs, remove the battery from the camera and wait until the camera has
Getting to know your camera better
sufficiently cooled. The camera’s external temperature may also increase during use, however this
is normal and does not indicate malfunction.
The date and time have not been set
The camera has been used in the same condition from the time of purchase
• No date and time have been set in the camera at the time of purchase. Set the date and time before
using the camera.
g “Set the date and time” (P. 7), “X Setting the date and time” (P. 30)
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 3 days. If the battery is in the camera for a short period of time, the
date and time setting will be reset earlier than this. Before taking important pictures, check that the
date and time settings are correct.

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.
g “Shutter button Shooting pictures/movies” (P. 11)
• Set [AF MODE] to [iESP].
g “AF MODE Changing the focusing area” (P. 24)
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.
Subject with low contrast Subject with an extremely
bright area in the center
of the frame
Subject without vertical
lines
Getting to know your camera better
Subjects at different
distances
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.
Fast-moving subject The subject is not in
the center of the frame
Taking pictures without blurring
Hold the camera correctly and press the shutter button gently to shoot the picture. In addition, blurring is
reduced when taking pictures in the h mode.
The factors that can cause the picture to blur are as follows:
• When you zoom at a high magnification 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.
Most blurry images can be stabilized later.
g “PERFECT FIX Editing pictures” (P. 25)
Taking pictures without the flash
The flash fires automatically when insufficient light is available and may cause your image to be blurry.
When taking pictures in low light without the flash, set the flash mode to [$] (flash off).
g “Y# button Flash shooting” (P. 15)
Select a higher value for [ISO]
g “ISO Changing the ISO sensitivity” (P. 23)
EN

Page 44
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.
Increasing the ISO sensitivity
• When you increase the [ISO] setting, “noise”, which appears as spots of unwanted color or
unevenness in the color, can be introduced and give the picture a grainy appearance. This camera
is equipped with a function to allow shooting at high sensitivity while suppressing noise; however,
increasing the ISO sensitivity can result in some noise, depending on the shooting conditions.
g “ISO Changing the ISO sensitivity” (P. 23)
Taking pictures with the correct color
• The reason why there are sometimes differences between the actual colors and the colors recorded
in a picture is related to the light source il luminating the subject. [WB] is the function that helps the
camera determine the true colors. Normally, the [AUTO] setting provides the optimal white balance,
but depending on the subject, results may be better if you manually adjust the [WB] setting.
• When the subject is in the shade on a sunny day
• When the subject is illuminated by both natural light and indoor lighting, such as when
near a window
• When there is no white in the center of the frame
g “WB Adjusting the color of a picture” (P. 22)
Taking pictures of a white beach or snow scene
• Often, bright subjects (such as snow) turn out darker than their natural colors. Adjusting OF
toward [+] makes the subject 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 “OF/< button Changing picture brightness (Exposure compensation)/Printing pictures” (P. 15)
Taking pictures of a subject against backlight
• Set the flash to [#] (fill-in) to activate fill-in-flash. You can shoot a subject against backlight without
the face of the subject appearing dark. [#] is effective not only for shooting against backlight, but
also for shooting under fluorescent and other artificial lightening.
g “Y# button Flash shooting” (P. 15)
• Selecting a [+] exposure value with OF is useful in shooting a subject against backlight.
g “OF/< button Changing picture brightness (Exposure compensation)/Printing pictures” (P. 15)
• When [AF MODE] is set to [FACE DETECT], the camera determines the exposure by metering a
Getting to know your camera better
face and the face in the picture taken will appear brighter even in backlight conditions.
g “AF MODE Changing the focusing area” (P. 24)
Additional shooting tips and information
Increasing the number of pictures that can be taken
There are two ways to record the pictures you take with this camera.
Recording pictures to the internal memory
• Pictures are recorded to the internal memory, and when the number of storable still pictures
reaches 0, you connect the camera to a computer to download the pictures; and then erase the
pictures from the internal memory.
Using a card (xD-Picture Card) (optional)
• Pictures are recorded to the card when inserted in the camera. When the card is full, you can
download the pictures to a computer and then either erase the pictures from the card or use a new
card.
• Pictures are not recorded to the internal memory when a card is inserted in the camera. Pictures in
the internal memory can be copied to the card using the [BACKUP] function.

Battery Handling Precautions
• 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.
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.
