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. 41) to [Face/iESP]

●

Taking a picture in [AF Tracking] mode (p. 41)

●

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.

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

The subject is not in the center of

distances

the frame

Subjects with low contrast

When extremely bright objects

appear in the center of the screen

Camera shake

“Taking pictures without camera shake”

●

Taking pictures using [Image Stabilizer] (p. 42)

When a picture is taken of a shadowed subject,

shifts to correct for camera shake even

the CCD if the ISO speed is not increased. This function is also effective when taking pictures at a high zoom magniﬁ cation.

A device that takes light received through the

lens and converts it into electric signals.

Shooting movies using [IS Movie Mode] (p. 42)

●

Select [C Sport] in the scene mode (p. 29)

●

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. 37)

Exposure (brightness)

“Taking pictures with the right brightness”

●

Taking pictures of a subject against a backlight

Faces or backgrounds are bright even when shot against backlight.

[Shadow Adjust] (p. 41)

Taking pictures using [Face/iESP] (p. 41)

●

Appropriate exposure is obtained for a face against backlight, and the face is brightened.

Taking pictures using [n] for [ESP/n]

●

(p. 41)

Brightness is matched with a subject in the center of the screen and the image is not affected by background light.

●

A subject against backlight is brightened.

●

Taking pictures of a white beach or snow scene

Set the mode to [q Beach & Snow], [a Snow]* (p. 29).

TG-610 only

●

Taking pictures using exposure compensation (p. 36)

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.

Color hue

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

Taking pictures by selecting white balance

●

(p. 37)

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. 42) 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.

“Selecting the ISO sensitivity” (p. 37)

Panorama

“Taking pictures so that the frames are stitched smoothly”

A tip for panoramic shooting

●

Taking pictures by pivoting with the camera at the center prevents shifting of the image. When taking pictures of close objects in particular, pivoting with the lens end at the center produces favorable results.

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. When storing the battery for a long period, select a cool

•

location for storage.

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.
