Aperture priority shooting
The camera sets the optimum shutter speed automatically for the aperture value you have
selected. When you open the aperture (decrease the aperture value), the camera will focus
within a shorter range (shallow depth of field) and produce a picture with a blurred
background. When you close the aperture (increase the aperture value), the camera will
focus within a longer range. Use this mode when you wish to add changes to the background
representation.

Shutter priority shooting
The camera sets the optimum aperture value automatically for the shutter speed you have
selected. Set the shutter speed depending on the type of effect you want. A higher shutter
speed allows you to capture a fast-moving subject without blur, and a slower shutter speed
blurs a moving subject, creating a feeling of speed or motion. Set the shutter speed
depending on the type of effect you want.
A fast shutter
speed can freeze
a fast action

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.

This metering mode provides the average metering between the
subject and the background lighting, placing more weight on the
subject at the center. Use this mode when you do not want the light
level of the background to affect the exposure value.
ISpot metering
The camera meters a very small area around the center of the subject,
defined by the spot metering area mark on the LCD monitor. Use this
mode when there is very strong backlight.
IHI Spot metering - highlight control
When the overall background is bright, white areas of the image will
come out gray if you use the camera’s automatic exposure. Using this
mode enables the camera to shift to over-exposure, allowing accurate
white reproduction.

Exposure compensation
In some situations, you may get better results if you manually compensate (adjust) the
exposure value set automatically by the camera. In many cases, bright subjects (such as
snow) will turn out darker than their natural colors. Adjusting toward + makes these subjects
closer to their real shades. For the same reason, adjust toward – when shooting dark
subjects. You can use value in the range ±3.0 EV to suit the other exposure compensation

AE bracketing
The camera automatically shoots a number of pictures at different exposure values for each
frame. Even in conditions where correct exposure is difficult to obtain (such as a backlit
subject or a scene at dusk), you can pick the picture you prefer from a selected number of
frames with a variety of different exposure settings (exposure and compensation values). The
pictures are taken in the following order: Picture with optimum exposure, picture adjusted in –
direction, and picture adjusted in + direction.

How AE bracketing compensates exposure in each shooting mode
Depending on the selected shooting mode, exposure is compensated in the following way:
P mode : Aperture value and shutter speed
A mode : Shutter speed
S mode : Aperture value
M mode : Shutter speed

To apply AE bracketing to the exposure value you have compensated:
j Compensate the exposure value, then use the AE bracketing feature. AE bracketing is applied to
the exposure value you have compensated.

ISO sensitivity setting
The larger the ISO value, the darker the location in which you can shoot. However, increasing
the ISO value leads to increased noise (graininess) in the picture. ISO200, which gives
optimal noise and gradation balance, is recommended for normal use.
For a slower shutter speed or when you want to open the aperture, use ISO100.

either the lens or the camera.
• If [IMAGE STABILIZER] is set to [I.S.1], [I.S.2] or [I.S.3] and you turn off the camera, the
camera will vibrate. This is due to the camera initializing the image stabilizer mechanism.
• You may notice an operating sound or vibration when the image stabilizer is activated.
• If the image stabilizer icon blinks in red on the monitor, it indicates a failure of the image
stabilizer function. If you take a picture as is, the composition may be off. Consult your
Olympus Authorized Service Center.
• The image stabilizer will not activate at shutter speeds of over 2 seconds.
• If the internal temperature of the camera exceeds the specified temperature, the image
stabilizer is deactivated and the image stabilizer icon lights red on the monitor.

• Super FP flash
Super FP flash is available with the FL-50R or FL-36R. You can use the Super FP flash
even where normal flashes cannot be used with high shutter speed. Fill-in flash shooting
with the aperture open (such as in outdoor portrait shooting) is also possible with Super FP
flash. For details, refer to the external flash’s manual.
Flash mode setting
The camera sets the flash mode according to various factors such as firing pattern and flash
timing. Available flash modes depend on the exposure mode.
Auto flash AUTO
The flash fires automatically in low light or backlight conditions.
To shoot a subject with backlighting, position the AF target over the subject.
• Flash synchronization speed/Slow limit
Shutter speed can be changed when the flash fires. g“#X-SYNC.” (P. 104), “#SLOW
LIMIT” (P. 104)
2
Red-eye reduction flash !/H
In the red-eye reduction flash mode, a series of pre-flashes are emitted just before the
regular flash fires. This helps accustom the subject’s eyes to the bright light and minimizes
the red-eye phenomenon. In S/Mmode, the flash always fires.
x Notes
• After the pre-flashes, it takes about 1 second before the shutter is released. Hold the camera
firmly to avoid camera shake.
• Effectiveness may be limited if the subject is not looking directly at pre-flashes, or if the
shooting range is too far. Individual physical characteristics may also limit effectiveness.
Slow synchronization (1st curtain) #SLOW
The slow synchronization flash is designed for slow shutter speeds. Normally, when shooting
with a flash, shutter speeds cannot go below a certain level to prevent camera shake. But
when shooting a subject against a night scene, fast shutter speeds can make the background
too dark. Slow synchronization allows you to capture both the background and the subject.
Since the shutter speed is slow, be sure to stabilize the camera by using a tripod so as not to
cause the picture to be blurred.
Slow synchronization (2nd curtain) #SLOW2/2nd CURTAIN
Usually, the flash fires the moment (immediately after) the shutter opens (1st curtain). In this
mode, however, the flash fires immediately before the shutter closes. 2nd curtain flash fires
just before the shutter closes. Changing the flash timing can create interesting effects in your
picture, such as expressing the movement of a car by showing the tail-lights streaming
backwards. The slower the shutter speed, the better the effects turn out. In S/Mmode, the
flash always fires.
Slow synchronization (1st curtain)/Red-eye reduction flash !SLOW
While using slow synchronization with flash shooting, you can also use this function to
achieve red-eye reduction.

Fill-in flash #
The flash fires regardless of the light conditions. This mode is useful for eliminating shadows
on the subject’s face (such as shadows from tree leaves), in a backlight situation, or for
correcting the color shift produced by artificial lighting (especially fluorescent light).
x Notes
• When the flash fires, the shutter speed is set to 1/180 sec. or less. When shooting a subject
against a bright background with the fill-in flash, the background may be overexposed. In this
case, use the optional FL-50R external flash or a similar flash and shoot in the Super FP flash
mode. g“Super FP flash” (P. 62)
Flash off $
The flash does not fire.

Flash intensity control
The flash intensity can be adjusted from +3 to -3.
In some situations (e.g., when shooting small subjects, distant backgrounds, etc.), you may
get better results by adjusting the amount of light emitted by the flash (“flash intensity”). It is
useful when you intend to increase the contrast (distinction between light and dark) of images
to make the images more vivid.

For JPEG images, select a combination of image size (Y, X, W) and compression rate
(SF, F, N, B). An image consists of pixels (dots). When you enlarge an image with a low pixel
count, it will be displayed as a mosaic. If an image has a high pixel count, the file size
(amount of data) will be larger and the number of storable still pictures will be lower. The
higher the compression, the smaller the file size. However, the image will have less clarity
when played back.

Selecting the white balance
Color reproduction differs depending on light conditions. For instance, when daylight or
tungsten lighting is reflected on white paper, the shade of white produced will be slightly
different for each. With a digital camera, white color can be adjusted to reproduce more
natural white with a digital processor. This is called white balance. There are 4 options for
setting the WB with this camera.
Auto white balance [AUTO]
This function enables the camera to automatically detect white in images and adjust the color
balance accordingly. Use this mode for general use.
Preset white balance [5][2][3][1][w][x][y][n]
8 different color temperatures are preset according to the light source. For example, use
preset WB when you want to reproduce more red in the picture of a sunset, or capture a
warmer artistic effect under artificial lighting.
Custom white balance [CWB]
You can set the color temperature from 2000K to 14000K. For details on color temperature,
refer to “White balance color temperature” (gP. 136).
One-touch white balance [V]

You can set the optimum white balance for the shooting conditions by pointing the camera at
a white object like a sheet of white paper. The white balance achieved with this setting is
saved as one of the preset WB settings.

Print reservation (DPOF)
Print reservation
Print reservation allows you to save printing data (the number of prints and the date/time
information) with the pictures stored on the card.
Pictures set with print reservation can be printed using the following methods.
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)
This is for saving desired print settings on digital cameras. By entering which images to
print and the number of copies of each, the user can easily have the desired images printed
by a printer or print lab that supports the DPOF format.
Printing using a DPOF-compatible photo lab
You can print the pictures using the print reservation data.
Printing using a DPOF-compatible printer
Pictures can be printed directly from a dedicated printer without using a PC. For more
details, refer to the printer’s manual. A PC card adapter may also be necessary.
x Notes
• DPOF reservations set by another device cannot be changed by this camera. Make changes
using the original device. Moreover, setting new DPOF reservations using this camera will
erase the previous reservations set by another device.
• Not all functions may be available on all printers or at all photo labs.
• Print reservation is not available for RAW data.

picture after locking the focus (focus lock)” (P. 50)
Image taken appears whitish
This may occur when the picture is taken in backlight or semi-backlight conditions. This is
due to a phenomenon called flare or ghosting. As far as possible, consider a composition
where strong light source is not taken in the picture. Flare may occur even when a light
source is not present in the picture. Use a lens hood to shade the lens from the light source.
If a lens hood does not have effect, use your hand to shade the lens from the light.
g“Interchangeable lenses” (P. 129)
Unknown bright dot(s) appear on the subject in the picture taken

Cleaning and checking the image pickup device
This camera incorporates a dust reduction function to keep dust from getting on the image
pickup device and to remove any dust or dirt from the image pickup device surface with
ultrasonic vibrations.The dust reduction function operates when the camera is turned on. The
dust reduction function operates at the same time as the pixel mapping, which checks the
image pickup device and image processing circuitry. Since dust reduction is activated every
time the camera’s power is turned on, the camera should be held upright for the dust
reduction function to be effective. The SSWF indicator blinks while dust reduction is working.
g“Dust reduction function operation” (P. 6)
x Notes
• Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or alcohol, or a chemically treated cloth.
• Avoid storing the camera in places where chemicals are treated, in order to protect the
camera from corrosion.
• Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left dirty.
• Check each part of the camera before use if it has not been used for a long time. Before
taking important pictures, be sure to take a test shot and check that the camera works
properly.

Battery and charger
z Use the single Olympus lithium-ion battery (BLS-1).
Other batteries cannot be used.
z The camera’s power consumption varies widely with usage and other conditions.
z As the following consume a lot of power even without shooting, the battery will be drained
quickly.
•
Performing auto focus repeatedly by pressing the shutter button halfway in shooting mode.
• Displaying images on the LCD monitor for a prolonged period.
• When connected to a computer or printer.
z When using a drained battery, the camera may turn off without the low battery warning
being displayed.
z The battery will not be fully charged at the time of purchase. Charge the battery using the
provided charger (BCS-1) before use.
z The normal charging time using the provided charger is approximately 3 hours 30 minutes
(estimated).
z Do not use chargers other than the one designated.
x Notes
• There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with the incorrect battery type. Dispose of
the used battery following the instructions.“Battery Handling Precautions” (gP. 148)
Using your charger abroad
z The charger can be used in most home electrical sources within the range of 100V to
240 V AC (50/60 Hz) around the world. However, depending on the country or area you
are in, the AC wall outlet may be shaped differently and the charger may require a plug
adapter to match the wall outlet. For details, ask at your local electrical shop or travel
agent.
z Do not use commercially available travel adaptors as the charger may malfunction.

Interchangeable lenses
Select the lens that you want to shoot with.
Use a specified lens (Micro Four Thirds mount). To use the “Four Thirds System Lens”, an
adapter (sold separately) is required. An adapter to allow use of an OM system lens is also
available (sold separately).
M.ZUIKO DIGITAL interchangeable lenses
This is an interchangeable lens specifically for use with the “Micro Four Thirds system” which
is a smaller, thinner version of the “Four Thirds system”.
Micro Four Thirds system lenses and Micro Four Thirds system cameras have
the mark shown to the right .
Focal length and depth of field of Micro Four Thirds system lenses
When compared to 35-mm cameras, Micro Four Thirds system cameras achieve different
effects at the same focal length and aperture.
Focal length
At the same focal length of a 35-mm camera, a Four Thirds system camera can achieve a
focal length equivalent to twice that of a 35-mm camera. This enables the design of compact
telephoto lenses. For instance, a Micro Four Thirds system lens 14-42 mm is equivalent to a
28-84 mm lens for a 35-mm camera.
• When the image angle of a Micro Four Thirds system lens is converted to that of a 35-mm
camera, the perspective is the same as that of a 35-mm camera.
Depth of Field
A Micro Four Thirds system camera can achieve a depth of field equivalent to two times
deeper than that of a 35-mm camera. A Micro Four Thirds system lens with f2.8 brightness,
for example, is equivalent to f5.6 when converted to the aperture of a 35-mm camera.
• You can achieve the same amount of background blur as if you were using a 35-mm
camera.
x Notes
• When you attach or remove the body cap and lens from the camera, keep the lens mount on
the camera pointed downward. This helps prevent dust and other foreign matter from getting
inside the camera.
• Do not remove the body cap or attach the lens in dusty places.
• Do not point the lens attached to the camera toward the sun. This may cause the camera to
malfunction or even ignite due to the magnifying effect of sunlight focusing through the lens.
• Be careful not to lose the body cap and rear cap.
• Attach the body cap to the camera to prevent dust from getting inside when no lens is
attached.

White balance color temperature
The higher the color temperature, the richer
the light in bluish tones and the poorer in
reddish; the lower the color temperature, the
richer the light in reddish tones and the
poorer in bluish. The spectral balance of
different white light sources is rated
numerically by color temperature - concept
of physics expressed using the Kelvin (K)
temperature scale. The color of sunlight and
other natural light sources and the color of a
light bulb and other artificial light sources
can be expressed in terms of color
temperature.
• The color temperatures for each light source
indicated in the above scale are approximate.
It follows, then, that the color temperatures of fluorescent lights make them unsuitable as
artificial light sources. There are gaps in the hues from the color temperatures of fluorescent
light. If these differences in hue are small, they can be calculated with color temperature and
this is called correlated color temperature.
This camera is preset with correlated color temperatures of 4,000k, 4,500K and 6,600k.
Strictly speaking, these are not color temperatures. Use these settings for shooting
conditions under fluorescent lights.

Caution for Usage Environment
•
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 humidifiers.
In sandy or dusty environments.
Near flammable 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 mounted on a tripod, adjust the position of the camera with the tripod head. Do not twist the camera.
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 fires.
•
•
Do not touch electric contacts on cameras and interchangeable lenses. Remember to attach the body cap
when removing the lens.
Before storing the camera for a long period, remove the battery. 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 release button to make sure that it is operating normally.
Always observe the operating environment restrictions described in the camera’s manual.
Do not directly touch or wipe the image pickup device of the camera.
•
•
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. This is not a
malfunction; it will be less noticeable in playback mode.
11
•
•
•
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.
