With print reservation, you can print out pictures easily either at home using a personal DPOFcompatible 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

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 fully charged

• Charge the battery with the charger.

The battery is temporarily unable to function because of the cold

• Battery performance declines in low temperatures, and the charge may not be sufficient to turn on the camera. Remove the battery and warm it by putting it in your pocket for a while.

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 when the camera is turned on (when the lens is extended and the monitor is on). No picture is taken even if the shutter button is fully pressed in this mode. Operate the zoom button or other buttons to restore the camera from sleep mode before taking a picture. If the camera is left for 15 minutes, it automatically turns off (the lens retracts and the monitor turns off). Press o to turn the camera on.

The mode dial is set to q or P

• This is the playback mode for displaying pictures on the monitor. Set the mode dial to a shooting mode.

The mode dial is in the position of g

• No pictures can be taken when the shooting guide is being displayed. Take pictures after setting target terms by following the shooting guide or set it to the setting other than g in shooting mode.

The flash is charging

• Wait until the # (flash charge) mark stops blinking before taking the picture.

The memory gauge is full

• No pictures can be taken when the memory gauge is full. Wait until there is space in the memory gauge.

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.

• Set [AF MODE] to [iESP].

g “AF MODE Changing the focusing area” (P. 23)

The subject is moving quickly

• Focus the camera on a point roughly the same distance away as the subject you want to shoot and lock the focus (by pressing the shutter button halfway). Then recompose your picture and press the shutter button completely as the subject enters 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.

Prevent blur by using image stabilization

Be sure to hold the camera firmly with both hands and press the shutter button slowly so as to avoid moving the camera. You can also reduce the blurring by pressing h before shooting the picture.

g “h button Shooting pictures using the image stabilizer” (P. 15)

The digital images are not stabilized when:

• images are shot at a high-magnification zoom setting, i.e. using both optical zoom and digital zoom functions,

• the object is dark and the shutter speed is slow, or

• scene modes where the flash is turned off and/or the shutter speed is slow.

Page 52

Taking stabilized pictures without the flash

The flash is activated automatically when there is insufficient light, or when the camera is shaken. To take pictures with no flash in dark places, set the flash mode to [$] and set as follows:

Increase the [ISO] setting

g “ISO Changing the ISO sensitivity” (P. 22)

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.

g “DIGITAL ZOOM Zooming in on your subject” (P. 23)

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. 22)

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 illuminating 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

• Take pictures with K in s mode. Suitable for taking pictures on a sunny day at the

beach or in the snow.

g “s (Scene) Selecting a scene mode according to the shooting situation” (P. 21)

Getting to know your camera better

• Often, bright subjects (such as snow) turn out darker than their natural colors. Use 1F to

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

g “1F button Changing picture brightness” (P. 14)

Taking pictures of a subject against backlight

•With [ESP/n] set to [n], the picture can be taken based on the brightness at the center

of the monitor without being affected by the light in the background.

g “ESP/n Changing the area for measuring the brightness of a subject” (P. 23)

• 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 “3# button Flash shooting” (P. 15)

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 must connect the camera to a computer to download the pictures, and then erase the pictures from the internal memory.

Using a card (optional)

• Pictures are recorded to the card when inserted in the camera. When the card is full, you 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.

Page 66

• 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, by soldering, etc.

• If battery fluid gets into your eyes, flush 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 fire 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 specified 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 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.

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 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.

Page 67

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.

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 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. A 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 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.
