Choosing aperture and shutter speed (M manual mode)

In mode M, you choose both the aperture and the shutter speed. Set the mode dial to M, and set the shutter speed with the control ring, and the aperture value with the sub dial.

• The shutter speed can be set to 1/2000 – 30 sec.

# Cautions

• Exposure compensation is not available in M mode.

Noise in images

While shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on-screen. These phenomena are caused when current is generated in those sections of the image pickup device that are not normally exposed to light, resulting in a rise in temperature in the image pickup device or image pickup device drive circuit. This can also occur when shooting with a high ISO setting in a high-temperature environment. To reduce this noise, the camera activates the noise reduction function. g [Noise Reduct.] (P. 52)

# Cautions

• In [!](Red-eye reduction flash), after the pre-flashes, it takes about 1 second before the shutter is released. Do not move the camera until shooting is complete.

• [!](Red-eye reduction flash) may not work effectively under some shooting conditions.

• AUTO, $ can be set in A mode.

Minimum Flash Range

The lens may cast shadows over objects close to the camera, causing vignetting, or be too bright even at minimum output.

• To prevent photographs from being overexposed, select mode A or M and choose a

high f-number, or reduce ISO sensitivity.

Press the shutter button halfway to focus, the rest of the way down to start the timer. The self-timer lamp blinks for approximately 2 seconds, and then the picture is taken.

$ Notes

• To cancel the activated self-timer, press the jY button.

• During sequential shooting, focus, exposure, and white balance are locked at the first frame.

• Bracketing is available only when [Bracketing] (P. 44) is selected.

# Cautions

• During sequential shooting, if the battery check blinks due to low battery, the camera stops shooting and starts saving the pictures you have taken on the card. The camera may not save all of the pictures depending on how much battery power remains.

• Fix the camera securely on a tripod for self-timer shooting.

• If you stand in front of the camera to press the shutter button halfway when using the selftimer, the photograph may be out of focus.

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.

• Take pictures using the touch screen. g P. 29

• Taking a picture of a subject not in the center of the monitor. g P. 37

After focusing on an object at the same distance as the subject, compose the shot, and take the picture.

• Using the face priority AF. g P. 38

• Taking a picture of a shadowy subject. g P. 51

Using the AF illuminator makes focusing easier.

• Taking a picture of subjects where autofocus is difficult. 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.

Subject with low contrast Excessively bright light in

center of frame

Subject containing no vertical

lines

Usage Tips

Subjects at different

distances

*1 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.

Fast-moving subject Subject not inside AF area

 Camera shake

Taking pictures without camera shake.

• Taking pictures using [Image Stabilizer]. g P. 32 The image pickup device shifts to correct for camera shake even if the ISO sensitivity is not increased. This function is also effective when taking pictures at a high zoom magnification.

• Select [j Sport] in the scene mode. g P. 17 The [j Sport] mode uses a fast shutter speed and can reduce the blur incurred by a moving subject.

• Taking pictures at a high ISO sensitivity. g P. 38 If a high ISO sensitivity is selected, pictures can be taken at a high shutter speed even at locations where a flash cannot be used.

Page 70

 Exposure (brightness)

Taking pictures with the right brightness.

• Select [Auto] for [Gradation] in picture mode

• Using the face priority AF. g P. 38

• Taking pictures using [Spot Metering]. g P. 36 Brightness is matched with a subject in the center of the screen and the image is not affected by background light.

• Taking pictures using [Fill In] flash. g P. 22 A subject against backlight is brightened.

• Taking pictures of a white beach or snow scene. g P. 17 Select [q Beach & Snow] in the scene mode.

• Taking pictures using exposure compensation. g P. 21 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.

. g P. 42

 Color hue

Taking pictures with colors at the same shade as they appear.

• Taking pictures by selecting white balance. g P. 33

Usage Tips

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 artificial light settings, and so on.)

 Image quality

Taking sharper pictures.

• Taking pictures at a low ISO sensitivity. g P. 38 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.

Playback/Editing tips

 Playback

Playing images in the internal memory.

• Remove the card and display the images in internal memory. g P. 5

Viewing images with high picture quality on a highdefinition TV

• Connect the camera to the TV using an HDMI cable (sold separately). g P. 56

 Editing

Erasing the sound recorded to a still image.

• Display a still image to erase the sound, and select [Erase] for [R]. g P. 27

Handling the Camera

WARNING

• Do not use the camera near ﬂ ammable or explosive gases.

• Do not use the ﬂ ash and LED (including AF illuminator) on people (infants, small children, etc.) at close range.

• You must be at least 1 m (3 ft.) away from the faces of your subjects. Firing the ﬂ ash too close to the subject’s eyes could cause a momentary loss of vision.

• Keep young children, infants and pet animals away from the camera.

• Always use and store the camera out of the reach of young children, infants and pet animals to prevent the following dangerous situations which could cause serious injury:

• Becoming entangled in the camera strap, causing strangulation.

• Accidentally swallowing the battery, cards or other small parts.

• Accidentally ﬁ ring the ﬂ ash into their own eyes or those of another child.

• Accidentally being injured by the moving parts of the camera.

• 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 ﬂ ash with a hand while ﬁ ring.

• Use SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards or Eye-Fi cards only. Never use other types of cards.

If you accidently insert another type of card into the camera, contact an authorized distributor or service center. Do not try to remove the card by force.

• If you ﬁ nd that the USB-AC adapter is extremely hot or notice any unusual odors, noise, or smoke around it, unplug the power plug from wall outlet immediately and stop using it. Then, contact an authorized distributor or service center.

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 ﬁ re 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 ﬁ re. Do not use the USB-AC adapter if it is covered (such as a blanket). This could cause overheating, resulting in ﬁ re.

• Handle the camera with care to avoid getting a lowtemperature 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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Page 82

• Be careful with the strap.

Battery Handling Precautions

• Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera. It could easily catch on stray objects and cause serious damage.

• 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 humidiﬁ ers.

• In sandy or dusty environments.

• Near ﬂ ammable 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 attaching the camera to or removing it from a tripod, rotate the tripod screw, not the camera.

• Before transporting the camera, remove a tripod and all other non-OLYMPUS accessories.

• 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, color failure, ghosting on the image pickup device, 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 remove the battery, then reinsert it and turn the camera on

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

again before further operation.

• Always observe the operating environment restrictions described in the camera’s manual.

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 speciﬁ ed by Olympus. Charge the battery with the speciﬁ ed USB-AC adapter or charger. Do not use any other USB-AC dapters or 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, solder, etc.

• If battery ﬂ uid gets into your eyes, ﬂ ush 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.

• If you cannot remove the battery from the camera, contact an authorized distributor or service center. Do not try to remove the battery by force. Damage to the battery exterior (scratches, etc.) may produce heat or an explosion.

WARNING

• Keep batteries dry at all times.

• To prevent batteries from leaking, overheating, or causing a ﬁ re 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 speciﬁ ed 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 ﬂ uid onto your clothing or skin, remove the clothing and ﬂ ush the affected area with clean, running cold water immediately. If the ﬂ uid 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.

• This camera uses one Olympus lithium ion battery. Use the speciﬁ ed genuine battery. There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with a non-speciﬁ ed.

• 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 printer.

• Using an exhausted battery may cause the camera to turn off without displaying the battery level warning.

• The Olympus lithium ion battery is designed to be used only for the Olympus digital camera. Do not use the battery to other devices.

• 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.

• 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.

Warning

FCC Notice

• The included USB-AC adapter F-2AC is designed to be used only with this camera. Other cameras cannot be charged with this USB-AC adapter.

• Do not connect the included USB-AC adapter F-2AC to equipment other than this camera.

• For plug-in type USB-AC adapter: The included USB-AC adapter F-2AC is intended to be correctly orientated in a vertical or ﬂ oor mount position.

Use Only Dedicated Rechargeable Battery, Battery Charger and USB-AC adapter

• We strongly recommend that you use only the genuine Olympus dedicated rechargeable battery, battery charger and USB-AC adapter with this camera. Using a non-genuine rechargeable battery, battery charger and/or USB-AC adapter may result in ﬁ re or personal injury due to leakage, heating, ignition or damage to the battery. Olympus does not assume any liability for accidents or damage that may result from the use of a battery, battery charger and/or USB-AC adapter that are not genuine Olympus accessories.

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. The monitor exhibiting poor performance due to low temperatures will recover in normal temperatures.

• The monitor of this product is manufactured with high-quality accuracy, however, there may be a stuck or dead pixel on the monitor. These pixels do not have any inﬂ uence on the image to be saved. Because of the characteristics, the unevenness of the color or brightness may also be found depending on the angle, but this is due to the structure of the monitor. This is not a malfunction.
