Printing

Direct printing (PictBridge*1)

By connecting the camera to a PictBridge-compatible printer, you can print images directly without using a computer.

To ﬁ nd out if your printer supports PictBridge, refer to the printer’s instruction manual.

PictBridge is a standard for connecting digital cameras

and printers of different makers and printing out pictures directly.

The printing modes, paper sizes, and other

parameters that can be set with the camera vary depending on the printer that is used. For details, refer to the printer’s instruction manual.

For details on the available paper types, loading

paper, and installing ink cassettes, refer to the printer’s instruction manual.

In print reservations, the number of prints and date imprint option are saved in the image on the card. This enables easy printing at a printer or print shop supporting DPOF by using only the print reservations on the card without a computer or a camera.

DPOF is a standard for storing automatic printout

information from digital cameras.

Print reservations can be set only for the images

stored on the card. Insert a card with recorded images before making print reservations.

DPOF reservations set by another DPOF device

cannot be changed by this camera. Make changes using the original device. Making new DPOF reservations with this camera will erase the reservations made by the other device.

DPOF print reservations can be made for up to 999

Shooting tips

When you are unsure of how to take a picture that you envision, refer to the information below.

Focusing

“Focusing on the subject”

Taking a picture of a subject not in the center

●

of the screen

After focusing on an object at the same distance as the subject, compose the shot, and take the picture.

Pressing the shutter button halfway (p. 20)

●

Set [AF MODE] (p. 35) to [FACE/iESP]

●

Taking a picture in [AF TRACKING] mode (p. 35)

The camera tracks the subject movement automatically to focus on it continuously.

●

Taking a picture of subjects where autofocus is difﬁ cult

In the following cases, after focusing on an object (by pressing the shutter button halfway down) with high contrast at the same distance as the subject, compose the shot, and take the picture.

Subjects with low contrast

When extremely bright objects

appear in the center of the screen

Page 56

Object with no vertical lines

It is also effective to compose the shot by holding the

camera vertically to focus, and then returning to the horizontal position to take the picture.

When objects are at different

Fast-moving object

distances

the frame

Camera shake

“Taking pictures without camera shake”

Taking pictures using N mode (p. 26)

●

Select C (SPORT) in s mode (p. 26)

●

The C (SPORT) mode uses a fast shutter speed and can reduce the blur incurred by a moving subject.

Taking pictures at a high ISO sensitivity

●

If a high ISO sensitivity is selected, pictures can be taken at a high shutter speed even at locations where a ﬂ ash cannot be used.

“Selecting the ISO sensitivity” (p. 32)

Exposure (brightness)

“Taking pictures with the right brightness”

Taking pictures using [FILL IN] (p. 30) ﬂ ash

●

A subject against backlight is brightened.

Taking pictures using exposure compensation

●

(p. 31)

Adjust the brightness while viewing the screen for taking the picture. Normally, taking pictures of white subjects (such as snow) results in images that are darker than the actual subject. Use the exposure compensation to adjust in the positive (+) direction to express whites as they appear. When taking pictures of black subjects, on the other hand, it is effective to adjust in the negative (-) direction.

Page 57

Color hue

“Taking pictures with colors at the same shade as they appear”

Taking pictures by selecting white balance

●

(p. 32)

Best results in most environments can normally be obtained with the [WB AUTO] setting, but for some subjects, you should try experimenting with different settings. (This is especially true for sunshade under a clear sky, mixed natural and artiﬁ cial light settings, and so on.)

Image quality

“Taking sharper pictures”

●

Taking pictures with the optical zoom

Avoid using digital zoom (p. 21) to take pictures.

Taking pictures at a low ISO sensitivity

●

If the picture is taken with a high ISO sensitivity, noise (small colored spots and color unevenness that were not in the original image) can occur, and the image can appear grainy. The resulting image is grainier than with low ISO sensitivity as well.

•

Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or

alcohol, or chemically treated cloth.

Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left

dirty.

Storage

When storing the camera for extended periods, remove

•

the battery, USB-AC adapter and card, and keep in a cool, dry place that is well ventilated. Periodically insert the battery and test the camera

•

functions.

Avoid leaving the camera in places where chemical

products are handled since this may result in corrosion.

The battery and USB-AC adapter

This camera uses one Olympus lithium ion battery

•

(LI-42B). No other type of batteries can be used.

Caution:

There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with the incorrect battery type. Dispose of the used battery following the instructions. (p. 65)

Power consumption by the camera varies depending on

•

which functions are used. During the conditions described below, power is

•

consumed continuously and the battery becomes exhausted quickly.

The zoom is used repeatedly.

•

The shutter button is pressed halfway repeatedly in

•

shooting mode, activating the auto focus. A picture is displayed on the monitor for an extended

•

period of time. The camera is connected to a computer or printer.

•

Using an exhausted battery may cause the camera to

•

turn off without displaying the battery level warning. The rechargeable battery is not fully charged at the time

•

of purchase. Use the supplied F-2AC USB-AC adapter (hereafter referred to as USB-AC adapter) or optional LI-41C battery charger to charge the battery before use. When the included USB-AC adapter is used, charging

•

usually takes approximately 3 hours (varies on usage). The included USB-AC adapter has been designed to

•

be used only for charging. Make sure that operations such as shooting, viewing images and so on are not being used while the USB-AC adapter is connected to the camera.

Page 59

The included USB-AC adapter is designed to be

•

The included USB-AC adapter is intended to be correctly orientated in a vertical or ﬂ oor mount position.

Using your charger and USB-AC adapter abroad

The charger and USB-AC adapter can be used in

•

most home electrical sources within the range of 100 V to 240 V AC (50/60Hz) around the world. However, depending on the country or area you are in, the AC wall outlet may be shaped differently and the charger and USB-AC adapter may require a plug adapter to match the wall outlet. For details, ask at your local electrical shop or travel agent. Do not use travel voltage converters as they could

•

damage your charger and USB-AC adapter.

Using an SD/SDHC memory card

A card (and internal memory) also corresponds to the ﬁ lm that records images in a ﬁ lm camera. Otherwise, the recorded images (data) can be erased, and retouching is also available with the use of a computer. Cards can be removed from the camera and exchanged, but this is not possible with the internal memory. Use of larger capacity cards enables you to take more pictures.

SD/SDHC card write-protect switch

The SD/SDHC 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. Release the switch to enable writing.

Caution for Usage Environment

Never hold or operate the camera with wet hands.

•

Do not leave the camera in places where it may be subject to extremely high temperatures.

•

Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate and, in some circumstances, cause the camera to catch ﬁ re. Do not use the charger or USB-AC adapter if it is covered (such as a blanket). This could cause overheating, resulting in ﬁ re.

•

Handle the camera with care to avoid getting a low-temperature burn.

•

When the camera contains metal parts, overheating can result in a low-temperature burn. Pay attention to the following:

•

When used for a long period, the camera will get hot. If you hold on to the camera in this state, a low-temperature burn may be caused.

•

In places subject to extremely cold temperatures, the temperature of the camera’s body may be lower than the environmental temperature. If possible, wear gloves when handling the camera in cold temperatures.

Be careful with the strap.

•

Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera. It could

•

easily catch on stray objects and cause serious damage.

Battery Handling Precautions

Follow these important guidelines to prevent batteries from leaking, overheating, burning, exploding, or causing electrical shocks or burns.

DANGER

The camera uses a lithium ion battery speciﬁ ed by Olympus.

•

Charge the battery with the speciﬁ ed USB-AC adapter or charger. Do not use any other USB-AC adapters or chargers. Never heat or incinerate batteries.

•

Take precautions when carrying or storing batteries to prevent

•

them from coming into contact with any metal objects such as jewelry, pins, fasteners, etc. Never store batteries where they will be exposed to direct

•

sunlight, or subjected to high temperatures in a hot vehicle, near a heat source, etc. To prevent causing battery leaks or damaging their terminals,

•

carefully follow all instructions regarding the use of batteries. Never attempt to disassemble a battery or modify it in any way, solder, etc. If battery ﬂ uid gets into your eyes, ﬂ ush your eyes immediately

•

with clear, cold running water and seek medical attention immediately.

•

Always store batteries out of the reach of small children. If a child accidentally swallows a battery, seek medical attention immediately.

WARNING

Keep batteries dry at all times.

•

To prevent batteries from leaking, overheating, or causing a

•

ﬁ re or explosion, use only batteries recommended for use with this product. Insert the battery carefully as described in the operating

•

instructions. If rechargeable batteries have not been recharged within the

•

speciﬁ ed time, stop charging them and do not use them. Do not use a battery if it is cracked or broken.

•

If a battery leaks, becomes discolored or deformed, or

•

becomes abnormal in any other way during operation, stop using the camera. If a battery leaks ﬂ uid onto your clothing or skin, remove the

•

clothing and ﬂ ush the affected area with clean, running cold water immediately. If the ﬂ uid burns your skin, seek medical attention immediately. Never subject batteries to strong shocks or continuous

•

vibration.

CAUTION

Before loading, always inspect the battery carefully for leaks,

•

discoloration, warping, or any other abnormality. The battery may become hot during prolonged use. To avoid

•

minor burns, do not remove it immediately after using the camera. Always unload the battery from the camera before storing the

•

camera for a long period.

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 humidiﬁ ers. In sandy or dusty environments.

•

Near ﬂ ammable 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.

•

•

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 ﬁ res. Do not push or pull severely on the lens.

•

Before storing the camera for a long period, remove the

•

batteries. 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 button to make sure that it is operating normally. The camera may malfunction if it is used in a location where

•

it is subject to a magnetic/electromagnetic ﬁ eld, radio waves, or high voltage, such as near a TV set, microwave, video game, loud speakers, large monitor unit, TV/radio tower, or transmission towers. In such cases, turn the camera off and on again before further operation. Always observe the operating environment restrictions

•

described in the camera’s manual.

Battery Handling Precautions

This camera uses a lithium ion battery speciﬁ ed by Olympus.

•

Do not use any other type of battery. 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 ﬁ rst 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 difﬁ cult 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.
