Shooting tips
When you are unsure of how to take a picture that
you envision, refer to the information below.
Subjects with low contrast
Focusing
When extremely bright objects
appear in the center of the
monitor
“Focusing on the subject”
● 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.
Object with no vertical lines*1
Pressing the shutter button halfway (p. 10)
● Set [AF Mode] (p. 34) to [Face/iESP]
● Taking a picture in [AF Tracking] mode (p. 34)
The camera tracks the subject movement
automatically to focus on it continuously.
When objects are at different
distances
● Taking a picture of a shadowy subject
Using the AF illuminator makes focusing
easier. [AF Illuminat.] (p. 35)
● 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.
Fast-moving object
The subject is not in the
center of the frame
*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.

● Taking pictures using [Face/iESP] (p. 34)
Camera shake
Appropriate exposure is obtained for a face
against backlight, and the face is brightened.
“Taking pictures without camera shake”
● Taking pictures using [n] for [ESP/n]
● Taking pictures using [Image Stabilizer]
(p. 34)
(p. 35)
Brightness is matched with a subject in the
center of the screen and the image is not
affected by background light.

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.
● Taking pictures using [Fill In] (p. 28) flash
A subject against backlight is brightened.
*1
A device that takes light received through the
● Taking pictures of a white beach or snow
scene
lens and converts it into electric signals.
● Shooting movies using [IS Movie Mode]
(p. 38)
Select [q Beach & Snow] in the scene mode
(p. 14).
● Select [CSport] in the scene mode (p. 14)
● Taking pictures using exposure
compensation (p. 28)
The [CSport] mode uses a fast shutter speed
and can reduce the blur incurred by a moving
subject.
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.
● 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 flash cannot be used.
“ISO sensitivity” (p. 29)
Exposure (brightness)
“Taking pictures with the right brightness”
● Taking pictures of a subject against a
backlight
Faces or backgrounds are bright even when
shot against backlight.

Playback/Editing tips
Color hue
“Taking pictures with colors at the same shade as
they appear”
Playback
● Taking pictures by selecting white balance
(p. 28)
“Playing images in the internal memory and card”
● Remove the card and display the images in
internal memory
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.)

“Taking sharper pictures”
● Taking pictures with the optical zoom or
super-resolution zoom
Editing
Avoid using digital zoom (p. 35) to take pictures.
“Erasing the sound recorded to a still image”
● Taking pictures at a low ISO sensitivity
● Record over the sound with silence when
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.

Appendix
Camera care
Using a separately sold USB-AC
adapter
Exterior
•
Wipe gently with a soft cloth. If the camera is very
dirty, soak the cloth in mild soapy water and wring
well. Wipe the camera with the damp cloth and
then dry it with a dry cloth. If you have used the
camera at the beach, use a cloth soaked in clean
water and wrung well.
The USB-AC adapter F-3AC (sold separately) can
be used with this camera. Do not use any USB-AC
adapter other than the dedicated one. When using
F-3AC, be sure to use the USB cable included with
this camera.
Do not use any other USB-AC adapter with this
camera.
Monitor
•
Wipe gently with a soft cloth.
Using a separately sold
charger
Lens
•
Blow dust off the lens with a commercial blower,
then wipe gently with a lens cleaner.
A charger (UC-90: sold separately) can be used to
charge the battery.
Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or
alcohol, or chemically treated cloth.
Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is
left dirty.
Using your charger and USB-AC
adapter abroad

Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.
•
•
•
The charger and 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 charger and 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 charger and USB-AC adapter.
Storage
•
When storing the camera for extended periods,
remove the battery, USB-AC adapter and card, and
keep in a cool, dry place that is well ventilated.
Periodically insert the battery and test the camera
functions.
•
Avoid leaving the camera in places where
chemical products are handled since this may
result in corrosion.

• Keep young children, infants, and animals such as pets
away from the camera.
• Handle the camera with care to avoid getting a low-
temperature burn.
• Always use and store the camera out of the reach of young
children and infants 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 firing the flash into their own eyes or those of
another child.
• 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.
• Accidentally being injured by the moving parts of the
camera.
• Be careful with the strap.
• 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 flash with a hand while firing.
• Use SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards, Eye-Fi cards or
FlashAir 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 find 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.
• 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 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 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.
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 fire or burn your hands.
• 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 fires.
• 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.
• Never hold or operate the camera with wet hands.
This may cause overheating, exploding, burning, electrical
shocks, or malfunctions.
• 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 fire. Do not use

clothing and flush the affected area with clean, running cold
water immediately. If the fluid burns your skin, seek medical
attention immediately.
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 specified by Olympus.
Charge the battery with the specified USB-AC adapter or
charger. Do not use any other USB-AC adapters or chargers.
• Never incinerate or heat batteries in microwaves, on hot
plates, or in pressure vessels, etc.
• Never subject batteries to strong shocks or continuous
vibration by dropping or hitting.
This may cause exploding, overheating, or burning.
• Never leave the camera on or near electromagnetic devices.
This may cause overheating, burning, or exploding.
• Do not connect terminals with any metallic objects.
• Take precautions when carrying or storing batteries to prevent
them from coming into contact with any metal objects such as
jewelry, pins, fasteners, keys, etc.
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.
The short circuit may cause overheating, exploding, or burning,
which burn or damage you.
• Always unload the battery from the camera before storing the
camera for a long period.
• 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.
Leaking and overheating may cause fire, injury, or malfunction.
• When storing the battery for a long period, select a cool
location for storage.
• 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 fluid gets into your eyes, flush 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.
• This camera uses one Olympus lithium ion battery. Use the
designated battery. There is a risk of explosion if the battery is
replaced with the incorrect battery type.
• 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.
• 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.
• A picture is displayed on the monitor for an extended period
of time.
• The camera is connected to a printer.
Damage to the battery exterior (scratches, etc.) may produce
heat or an explosion.

• 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.
Monitor
• Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise the image may
become vague, resulting in a playback mode failure or damage
to the monitor.
Do not use the battery to other devices.
• A strip of light may appear on the top/bottom of the monitor, but
this is not a malfunction.
• 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 first 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 difficult to obtain while traveling.
• 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.
• 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 influence 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.
USB-AC adapter
• 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 floor mount position.
