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. 21)

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.

Subject without vertical lines

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

Subject with low contrast

Subject with an extremely bright area in the center of the frame

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. 23)

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).

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. 20)

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. 20)

Taking pictures of a white beach or snow scene

Getting to know your camera better

• 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. 14)

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. 14)

• 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. 14)

• When [AF MODE] is set to [FACE DETECT], the camera determines the exposure by metering a face and the face in the picture taken will appear brighter even in backlight conditions.

g “AF MODE Changing the focusing area” (P. 21)

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.

( Do not look at the sun or strong lights with the camera. ( Do not use or store the camera in dusty or humid places. ( Do not cover the flash with a hand while firing.

CAUTION

( Stop using the camera immediately if you notice any unusual odors,

noise, or smoke around it.

• Never remove the batteries with bare hands, which may cause a fire or burn your hands.

( 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 fire. Do not use the charger if it is covered (such as a blanket). This could cause overheating, resulting in fire.

( 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.

Appendix

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 specified by Olympus. Charge the battery with the specified charger. Do not use any other 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, 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.

• 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,

Appendix

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

• 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.
