Work ing Distance
The focus range of the camera is 0.6 m (2 ft)
to (infinity).
When the subject is closer than 0.6 m (2 ft), the
shutter will not release. (The green lamp blinks.)
When the subject is extremely close to the

Image area of picture at 0.6 m (2 ft)
The viewfinder's picture frame shows the area that can
be shot fo r subjects at . However, the picture area will
move lower in the viewfinder as you get closer to the
subject. At 0.6 m (2 ft), the shaded area is the actual
available image area. In this case, the subject should
be positioned below the close-up correction marks.

AUTO-S
(R edey e Reducing Flash)
Significantly reduces the phenomenon of
"red-eye" (when a subject's eyes appear
red in flash photography).
In the Auto-S Flash mode, the camera will emit a series
of low-power pre-flashes before the regular flash. This
makes the subject's pupils contract, significantly
reducing red-eye. Except for the pre-flashes, this mode
is the same as the Auto Flash mode.
Redeye-Reduction may not be effe ct iv e when the
subject.
1. Is not looking at the flash from the right front.
2. Is not watching the pre-flashes.
3. Is too far from the camera.
Does not respond to the pre-flashes due to
particular individual characteristics.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to hold the camera still until the
shutter releases. It takes about one second.
Page 33

(Flash Override)
OFF
In the Flash-OFF mode, the flash does not
fire even in low-light conditions.
Use this mode in situations where flash photography is
not desired or is prohibited or in twilight or night
scenes.
Note: Since a slow shutter speed (down to 4 seconds) is
automatically selected in low-light situations when in the
Flash-OFF mode, the use of a tripod is recommended to
prevent blurred pictures caused by shaking the camera.
When the power swi tc h is turne d OFF, the mode will
return to the AUTO mode.
Page 34
34
FILL-IN
(Forced Activation)
In the FILL-IN Flash mode, the flash fires
regardless of available light.
For example, this mode can be used to brighten up a
subject's shaded f a c e or under artificial lighting suc h
as back-lit, fluorescent light. Use this mode within the
flash working range (p. 31).
It may be hard to wor k under the excessively bright
light.
When the power switch is turned OFF, the mode will
return to the AUTO mode.
Page 35

NIGHT SCENE
To Capture a Night Scene Beautifully
Use the Night-Scene Flash mode to properly
light subject i n the foreground while leaving
the background naturally lit.
Note: Since a slow shutter speed (down t o 4 seconds)
is automatically selected in low-light situations, use a
tripod to prevent blurred pictures caused by camera
shake.
Night-Scene mode cannot be used together with Spot

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q: How long will the battery last?
A: A new 3V lithium battery will last for roughly 15 rolls
of 24-exposure film on which the flash was used on
half of all the shots (determined under Olympus test
conditions). If you do not use the flash and zoom
very often, the battery will last much longer.
Q: Why does the flash get hot?
A: If the flash is used continuously, it may become hot.
If this happens, stop using the camera for a while.
Q: C an I u se infr ared film?
A: No, you cannot.
Q: How should I clean the lens?
A: Wipe the lens gently with lens cleaning tissue that
has been moistened with a small amount of lens
cleaning fluid.
Q: Can I moun t a filter or hood?
A: No, you cannot.
Q: What should I do when both the orange and green
lamps are blinking and the camera doesn't work?
A: Release your finger from the flash.

lens.
Please keep the camera in a well-ventilated place.
Do not expose the camera to extreme heat (over 40°C/104°F)
or to extreme cold (below -10°C/14°F). Low temperatures,
even within this range, may sometimes cause deterioration in
battery performance, temporarily disabling the camera.
Some airport X-ray machines can damage the film in your
camera. Try to avoid passing your camera through these
machines. Give it to the security officer for manual
inspection.
Page 46
46
When transporting the camera from a cold place to a warm
place or in the event of a sudden temperature change, put
the camera into a plastic bag. This allows the camera's
temperature to change slowly. Once the camera has
adjusted to the new temperature, you can remove it from the
bag and use it.
Keep your hair, hands, strap etc. away from the autofocus
window, lens, AE sensor and flash .
Avoid leaving th e camera unused for long periods of time.
This can cause mold to grow on the camera as wel l as other
problems. Try t o press the shutter release button and check
the operation of camera before use.
This camera is controlled by a microcomputer. Problems with
the microcomputer can affect or stop camera operation. If
this happens, remove the batteries, then reload them and try
the camera again. Strong electrical fields can also interfere
with the operation o f this camera so try to avoid places or
objec ts that generate such fields.
This camera is not suitable for professional use or for use
under severe conditions.
Strongly rubbing th e leather parts with alcohol can remove

not designed for underwater use. Please
note the following warnings and us e the
camera correctly.
The camera can withstand splashing water
(e.g., seaside, swimming pool side, etc.)
The camera can be used in rain.
And in snow.
Do not wash the camera.
it is
Page 48
48
Do not submerge the camera or attempt to
take pictures underwater.
Rubber gaskets are located inside the rear
of the camera. Check the gaskets for wear
and carefully remove any sand and dust to
maintain a weatherproof seal.
If the camera has been splashed by water, etc., clean
the camera with a dry cloth as soon as possible.
Do not touch the rubber gasket on the battery
compartment cover or the rubber gasket on the
camera back with excessive force. Do not remove the
gaskets.
Gaskets should be replaced after approximately three
years, although they may require replacement earlier
than tha t depending on use and wear.
If the gaskets are damaged or need replacement,
contact your nearest Olympus service center.

BATTERY HANDLING
NOTES
When the camera is not used for an
extended period of time, remove the battery.
Keep spare battery on hand when going on
a long trip or to a cold area.
Sweat, oil, and so on can prevent a battery's
terminals from making electrical contact. To
avoid this, wipe both terminals before
loading bat te ry.
Used batteries should be treated as general
waste in accordance with local government
regulations.
