Insert recharged batteries in the correct direction.
“Inserting the battery and the SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card (sold separately)” (p. 13), “Charging the battery and setting up using the supplied CD” (p. 14), “Charging the battery with the supplied USB-AC adapter” (p. 17)
Battery performance may have been reduced temporarily due to low temperature. Take the batteries out of the camera, and warm them by putting them in your pocket for a while.

If no operations are performed for the specifi ed time when the camera is on, the camera will enter sleep mode and the monitor will turn off automatically. While the camera is in sleep mode, pressing the shutter button will have no effect; to restore normal operation, operate the zoom lever or other camera controls. If no operations are performed for some time after the camera enters sleep mode, the camera will turn off automatically. Use the n button to turn the camera on.

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. 21)
Using face priority (p. 44)
Taking a picture in [AF Tracking] mode (p. 36)
The camera tracks the subject movement automatically to focus on it continuously.
Positioning the focus point
“Choosing a focus target” (p. 37)
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

Camera shake
“Taking pictures without camera shake”
Taking pictures using [Image Stabilizer] (p. 49)
Using the C (Sport) option in SCN mode
(p. 31)
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. 39)
Exposure (brightness)
“Taking pictures with the right brightness”
Taking pictures using [Fill In] (p. 37) fl ash
A subject against backlight is brightened.
Taking pictures using exposure compensation (p. 38)
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.
74
EN
Page 75
Color hue
“Taking pictures with colors at the same shade as they appear”
Taking pictures by selecting white balance
(p. 40, 46)
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. 22, 49) 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.

The battery and USB-AC adapter
This camera uses one Olympus lithium ion battery
(LI-50B). 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. 84)
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. Use the supplied F-2AC USB-AC adapter (hereafter referred to as USB-AC adapter) to charge the battery before use. When the included USB-AC adapter is used, charging
usually takes approximately 3 hours (varies on usage). The supplied USB-AC adapter is for charging and
playback only. Do not take pictures while the USB-AC adapter is connected to the camera. The included USB-AC adapter is designed to be
used only with this camera. Other cameras cannot be charged with this USB-AC adapter. Do not use with other devices. For plug-in type USB-AC adapter:
The included USB-AC adapter is intended to be correctly orientated in a vertical or fl oor mount position.

Cards compatible with this camera
The battery can be charged by connecting the camera to a computer.
Using an optional USB-AC adapter
An F-3AC USB-AC adapter (available separately) is recommended if the camera will be used for extended periods.
Note that the power cable supplied with the USB-AC adapter is for use exclusively with the USB-AC adapter. Do not use with other devices.
Using your USB-AC adapter abroad
The USB-AC adapter can be used in most home
electrical sources within the range of 100 V to 240 V AC (50/60Hz) around the world. However, depending on the country or area you are in, the AC wall outlet may be shaped differently and the USB-AC adapter may require a plug adapter to match the wall outlet. For details, ask at your local electrical shop or travel agent. Do not use travel voltage converters as they could
damage your USB-AC adapter.
Using an SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card
A card (and internal memory) also corresponds to the lm that records images in a fi lm camera. Otherwise, the recorded images (data) can be erased, and retouching is also available with the use of a computer. Cards can be removed from the camera and exchanged, but this is not possible with the internal memory. Use of larger capacity cards enables you to take more pictures.
SD/SDHC/SDXC card write-protect switch
The SD/SDHC/SDXC card body has a write-protect switch. If you set the switch to the “LOCK” side, you will not be able to write to the card, delete data or format. Release the switch to enable writing.

Monitor
Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise the image may
become vague, resulting in a playback mode failure or damage to the monitor.
84
EN
Static images displayed on organic EL monitors for extended
periods of time may “burn in”, causing a drop in brightness or discoloration in some areas of the display, which may be permanent in some cases. This phenomenon has no effect on images recorded with the camera. 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. Although the monitor is manufactured using high-precision
technology, some pixels may always be lit or may never light, and color and brightness may vary with the viewing angle. This is normal for this type of monitor and does not indicate a malfunction; images recorded with the camera are unaffected.
