Choosing aperture and shutter speed (M manual mode)

In mode M, you choose both the aperture and the shutter speed. At a speed of BULB, the
shutter remains open while the shutter button is pressed. 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 – 60 sec. or [BULB].

• You can change the functions assigned to the control ring and the sub dial. g “Dial
Function” (P. 89)

# Cautions

• Exposure compensation is not available in M mode.

2

Choosing when the exposure ends (bulb)

Basic photography

You can take a picture with a bulb exposure time in which the shutter stays open as
long as you hold down the shutter button. Time the end of the exposure to suit the
subject. Use for night landscapes and fi reworks. In M mode, set the shutter speed to
[BULB].

# Cautions

• Maximum 16 minutes (default)

• The maximum exposure time of bulb shooting depends on ISO sensitivity.

• To reduce camera shake for bulb shooting, mounting the camera on a stable tripod or
using a remote cable (sold separately) is recommended.

• The following features are not available during long exposures:

Sequential shooing/self-timer shooting/AE bracket shooting/image stabilizer/
fl ash bracketing

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. 61)

While the shutter button is pressed all the way down,
photographs are taken with automatically changing the

seconds and the picture is taken.

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 fi rst
frame (during [S-AF], [MF]).

• Bracketing is available only when [Bracketing] (P. 51) 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.

One-touch white balance

Measure white balance by framing a piece of paper or other white object under the lighting
that will be used in the fi nal photograph. This is useful when shooting a subject under natural
light, as well as under various light sources with different color temperatures.

Choose [P] or [Q] (one-touch white balance 1 or 2).

1

Point the camera at a colorless sheet of paper (such as white or gray), and

2

then press the INFO button.

• Frame the object so that it fi lls the display and no shadows fall it.

• The one-touch white balance screen appears.

Select [Yes] and press Q.

3

• The new value is saved as a preset white balance option.

• The new value is stored until one-touch white balance is measured again. Turning the
power off does not erase the data.

% Tips

• If the subject is too bright or too dark or visibly tinted, the message [WB NG Retry] will be
displayed and no value will be recorded. Correct the problem and repeat the process from
Step 1.

Setting the image aspect

You can change the aspect ratio (horizontal-to-vertical ratio) when taking pictures.
Depending on your preference, you can set the aspect ratio to [4:3] (standard), [16:9],
[3:2] or [1:1].

Display the live control and select the aspect ratio item using FG.

Use HI to select an aspect ratio and press Q.

Usage Tips

If the camera does not work as intended, or if an error message is displayed on the screen,
and you are unsure of what to do, refer to the information below to fi x the problem(s).

Troubleshooting

Battery

The camera does not work even when batteries are installed.

• Insert recharged batteries in the correct direction. “Inserting and removing the battery and
card” (P. 5)

• 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.

Card/Internal memory

An error message is displayed.

• “Error message” (P. 78)

Shutter button

No picture is taken when the shutter button is pressed.

• Cancel sleep mode.
To save battery power, the camera automatically goes into sleep mode and the monitor
turns off if no operations are performed for a pre-determined period of times while the
camera is on. No picture is taken even if the shutter button is fully pressed in this mode.

taking a picture. If the camera is left for another 5 minutes, it automatically turns off. Press
the n button to turn the camera on.

• Press the q button to switch to the shooting mode.

• Wait until #(fl ash charge) stops blinking before taking pictures.

• With prolonged camera use, the internal temperature may increase, resulting in automatic
shutdown. If this occurs, remove the battery from the camera and wait until the camera
has suffi ciently cooled.
The camera’s external temperature may also increase during use, however this is normal
and does not indicate malfunction.

Monitor

Diffi cult to see.

• Condensation may have occurred. Turn off the power, and wait for the camera body to
become acclimated to the surrounding temperature and dry out before taking pictures.

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 3 days*1, the date and
time settings return to the default setting, and must be reset.
*1 The time until the date and time settings return to the default setting varies depending

on how long the batteries have been loaded.

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.

• Taking a picture of a subject not in the center of the monitor
After focusing on an object at the same distance as the subject, compose the shot, and
take the picture.
“Pressing the shutter button halfway and all the way down” (P. 9)

• Using the face priority AF/eye priority AF (P. 44).

• Using the AF tracking (P. 43).
The camera tracks the subject movement automatically to focus on it continuously.

• Taking a picture of a shadowy subject
Using the AF illuminator makes focusing easier. [AF Illuminat.] (P. 59)

• 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

Subject containing no vertical

*1

lines

Camera shake

Taking pictures without camera shake.

• Taking pictures using [Image Stabilizer] (P. 36)
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
magnifi cation.

• Select [j Sport] in the scene mode (P. 20)
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
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. “ISO” (P. 44)

80

EN

Exposure (brightness)

Taking pictures with the right brightness.

• Select [Auto] for [Gradation] in picture mode (P. 50).

• Using the face priority AF/eye priority AF (P. 44).

• Taking pictures using [Spot Metering] (P. 42).
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] (P. 24) fl ash
A subject against backlight is brightened.

• Taking pictures of a white beach or snow scene
Select [q Beach & Snow] in the scene mode (P. 20).

• Taking pictures using exposure compensation (P. 23)
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. 38)
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 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. “ISO sensitivity” (P. 44)

• We recommend using a single group of up to three remote fl ash units.

• Remote fl ash units can not be used for second curtain slow synchronization longer than 4
seconds.

• If the subject is too close to the camera, the control fl ashes emitted by the built-in fl ash
may affect exposure (this effect can be reduced by reducing the output of the built-in fl ash
by, for example, using a diffuser).

• The upper limit of fl ash synchronization timing is 1/180 sec. when using the fl ash in
remote control mode.

Information

Other external fl ash units

Observe the following precautions when mounting an external fl ash unit not designated
for use with this camera on the camera hot shoe:

• Using obsolete fl ash units that apply currents of more than about 24 V to the camera hot
shoe X-contact will damage the camera.

• Connecting fl ash units with signal contacts that do not conform to Olympus specifi cations
may damage the camera.

• Use only with the camera in shooting mode M at ISO settings other than [AUTO].

• Flash control can only be performed by manually setting the fl ash to the ISO sensitivity
and aperture values selected with the camera. Flash brightness can be adjusted by
adjusting either ISO sensitivity or aperture.

• Use a fl ash with an angle of illumination suited to the lens. Angle of illumination is usually
expressed using 35-mm format equivalent focal lengths.
