Dew drops can form in the camera when it is

suddenly taken from a cold location into a warm, humid room.

“Vertical lines appear on the screen”.



This condition may occur when the camera is pointed at an extremely bright subject under a clear sky and so on. The lines do not appear, however, in the ﬁ nal image.

“The light is caught in the picture”.



Shooting with ﬂ ash in dark situations results in an image with many ﬂ ash reﬂ ections on dust in the air.

Date and time function

“Date and time settings return to the default setting”.



If the batteries are removed and left out of the camera for about a day settings return to the default setting, and must be reset.

The time until the date and time settings return

to the default setting varies depending on how long the batteries have been loaded.

“Setting the date, time and time zone” (p. 12)

, the date and time

Miscellaneous

“The camera makes a noise when taking pictures”.



The camera may activate the lens and make a noise even if no operation is performed. This is because the camera automatically performs actions of auto focus as far as it is ready to shoot.

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. 14)

Set [AF MODE] (p. 28) to [FACE/iESP] Taking a picture in [AF TRACKING] mode

(p. 28)

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



Fast-moving object

The subject is not in the center

of the frame

Camera shake

“Taking pictures without camera shake”

Taking pictures using N mode (p. 20)



Select C (SPORT) in s mode (p. 20)



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. 25)

When extremely bright objects

appear in the center of the

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

screen

distances

Exposure (brightness)

“Taking pictures with the right brightness”

Taking pictures using [FILL IN] (p. 23) ﬂ ash



A subject against backlight is brightened.

Taking pictures using exposure compensation



(p. 24)

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. 25)

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. 16) 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.

“Selecting the ISO sensitivity” (p. 25)

Batteries

•

battery (LI-80B). 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. 52)

•

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. Before use, charge the battery fully with the supplied F-2AC USB-AC adapter (hereafter referred to as AC adapter).

•

When the included AC adapter is used, charging usually takes approximately 4 hours (varies on usage).

•

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. 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.

Olympus warrants that the enclosed Olympus® imaging product(s) and related Olympus® accessories (individually a “Product” and collectively the “Products”) will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase. If any Product proves to be defective within the one-year warranty period, the customer must return the defective Product to any of Olympus Service Centers, following the procedure set forth below (See “WHAT TO DO WHEN SERVICE IS NEEDED”).
