Loading batteries  
Selecting batteries or the optional AC adapter  
In addition to the batteries provided, this camera can also use the following  
types of batteries or AC adapter. Choose the power source best suited to  
the situation.  
CR-V3 lithium battery packs (Not rechargeable)  
Because CR-V3 lithium battery packs have long lives, they are convenient  
when traveling. Do not peel off their labels.  
1
NiMH batteries (Rechargeable)  
Olympus NiMH batteries are rechargeable and economical. If they are  
often charged without first using all their power, the amount of time they  
can be used will become gradually shorter.  
AA (R6) alkaline batteries  
When you need batteries in a hurry, you can use AA (R6) alkaline  
batteries, which are easy to get anywhere. However, the number of  
pictures you can store may vary greatly, depending on the battery  
manufacturer, shooting conditions, etc. To save power, turn off the monitor  
whenever possible.  
AC adapter  
Be sure to use the specified AC adapter. An AC adapter is useful for time-  
consuming tasks such as image downloads.  
Use an AC adapter designed to operate on the AC voltage in the area the  
camera is being used.  
Consult your nearest Olympus dealer or service center for details.

vertical grip, hold the camera so that the flash is higher than the lens.  
Taking pictures using the monitor

3 Shooting basics  
Shooting modes  
This camera shoots still pictures and movies. In the still picture shooting  
mode, select a shooting mode from PHOTO ( ),  
depending on shooting conditions and the effect you want. The factory  
default setting is P (PROGRAM AUTO). You are able to shoot normally  
even if you do not select a shooting mode.  
PHOTO Still picture shooting  
Lets you take still pictures. You can select a more specific shooting mode  
depending on the scenes you want to shoot.

Still picture shooting modes  
P PROGRAM AUTO (factory default setting)  
Used for regular photography. The camera automatically makes settings  
for natural color balance. Other functions, such as the flash mode, can be  
adjusted manually.  
Portrait shooting  
Suitable for taking a portrait-style shot of a person. The camera  
automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions.  
Landscape shooting  
Suitable for taking photos of landscapes and other outdoor scenes. The  
camera automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions.  
Night-Scene shooting  
Suitable for taking photos of landscapes  
and people in the evening or at night.  
The camera sets a slower shutter speed  
than is used in normal shooting. If you  
take a picture of a street at night in any  
other mode, the lack of brightness will  
result in a dark picture with the  
Normal shooting and flash on  
background underexposed and without  
details. In this mode, the true appearance  
of the street is captured. The camera  
automatically sets the optimal shooting  
conditions. We recommend that you set  
the flash mode to AUTO.

Using the flash  
Auto-flash (No indication)  
The flash fires automatically in low light or backlight conditions.  
To shoot a subject with backlight, position the AF target mark over the  
subject.  
Red-eye reduction flash (  
)
The light from the flash may make the subject’s eyes appear red in the  
picture. The red-eye reduction flash mode reduces this phenomenon by  
emitting pre-flashes before firing the regular flash. This helps accustom the  
subject’s eyes to the bright light and minimizes the red-eye phenomenon.  
3
The subject’s eyes appear red.  
After the pre-flash, it takes about 1 second before the shutter is  
released. Hold the camera firmly to avoid camera movement.  
Note  
Effectiveness may be limited if the subject is not looking directly at  
the pre-flashes, or if the shooting range is too far. Individual  
physical characteristics may also limit effectiveness.  
Fill-in flash (  
)
The flash fires regardless of the available light. 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).  
The fill-in flash may not have the desired effect under excessively  
bright light.  
Note  
50  
Using the flash  
Flash off (  
)
The flash does not fire even in low light conditions. Use this mode in  
situations where flash photography is not desired or is prohibited, such as in  
an art museum. You can also use this mode when you want to shoot a  
natural-looking twilight or night scene.  
Since a slow shutter speed is automatically selected in low light  
situations when in the flash off mode, the use of a tripod is  
recommended to prevent your pictures from being blurred by  
camera movement.

4 Advanced shooting  
Macro mode shooting  
The macro mode allows you to shoot at a distance of 20 cm to 50 cm (0.7  
ft. to 1.6 ft.) from your subject.  
You can also shoot subjects which are at a distance of over 50 cm (1.6 ft.).  
However, compared to shots between 20 cm and 50 cm, the camera may  
take more time to focus on the subject.

Selecting the metering area (Spot metering)  
In a backlight situation, your subject may appear dark if the picture is taken  
with the normal metering value (center-weighted average light metering). In  
this case, by changing the metering area to the center of the viewfinder (spot  
metering), a subject can be shot with optimal exposure regardless of the  
background light.

Meters the entire viewfinder to obtain the optimum exposure. (No indication  
is displayed on the monitor.)

TIPS  
Resolution  
The number of pixels (horizontal x vertical) used when saving an  
image. If the image will be printed, higher resolutions (larger  
numbers) are recommended so that the image will be clearer.  
However, higher resolutions make the file size (amount of data)  
larger, so the number of pictures that can be saved will be fewer.  
Pixels  
A pixel is the smallest unit (dot) used to make up an image. Clear  
large-sized printed images require millions of pixels.  
Resolution and picture size on a computer screen  
When a picture is transferred to a computer, the size of the picture  
on the computer screen varies depending on the computer’s  
monitor setting. For instance, a picture taken in 1024 
ן
 768  
resolution is the same size as the screen if you set the picture to  
1
ן
 when the monitor setting is 1024 
ן
 768. However, if the  
monitor setting is over 1024 
ן
 768 (such as 1280 
ן
 1024), the  
picture only takes up part of the screen.

Varying the image brightness (Exposure compensation)  
In some situations, you may get better results when the exposure that the  
camera sets is compensated (adjusted) manually. You can adjust the  
brightness in the range of 2.0 in 1/ 2 steps.

Varying the image brightness (Exposure compensation)  
TIPS  
Often 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.  
If the flash is used, the image brightness (exposure) may differ from  
the intended brightness (exposure).  
Exposure compensation cannot correct the image if the  
Note  
surroundings of the subject are extremely bright or dark.

Adjusting the White balance  
Color reproduction differs depending on the light conditions. For instance,  
when daylight, the setting sun or tungsten lighting are reflected on white  
paper, the shade of white produced will be slightly different for each. By  
setting the WB (white balance), you can achieve more natural-looking  
colors.

FILE NAME

The camera automatically creates file names and folder names for images.  
Examples are shown below.  
Month: Jan. - Sep. = 1 - 9, Oct. = A, Nov. = B, Dec. = C  
There are two choices here: RESET or AUTO. Choose the one that is best  
for you when transferring images to a computer.  
89  
FILE NAME  
RESET  
When RESET is selected, the file number and folder number are reset  
every time a new card is inserted in the camera. The folder number returns  
to No. 100, and the file number returns to No. 0001. This is useful when  
grouping files on separate cards.  
AUTO  
When AUTO is selected, the same folder number is retained, but the file  
number continues from the previous card, so that the same file number is  
not used on different cards. This helps you to manage multiple cards. This  
is useful when a group of files stretches over more than one card.

After the file number reaches 9999, it returns to 0001, and the  
folder number also changes (for example, from No. 100 to No.  
101).  
Note  
When both the folder and file numbers reach their maximum  
(999/9999), you cannot store any more pictures, even if the card is  
not full yet. Insert a different card.

PIXEL MAPPING  
The Pixel Mapping feature allows the camera to check and adjust the CCD

frequently. Approximately once a year is recommended. Wait a few minutes  
after the monitor is used or continuous shots are taken to allow for proper  
performance of the Pixel Mapping function.

How to print pictures  
Several different printing options are available when you want to print out  
pictures.  
Printing at a photo lab that supports DPOF or printing on a DPOF-  
compatible printer  
Store the print reservation data on the card. Print reservation allows you to  
save printing data (number of prints, date/time information, etc.) with the  
pictures stored on the card.  
What is DPOF?  
DPOF is short for Digital Print Order Format. DPOF is the format used to  
record automatic print information from digital cameras.  
If a card containing print reservation data is taken to a photo lab that  
supports the DPOF format, the pictures can be printed according to the  
DPOF reservations. Or pictures can be printed out at home on a personal  
DPOF-compatible printer.  
Printing on an Olympus P-400, or P-200 digital color printer  
Printing is possible on specified printers without using a PC. For more  
details, refer to the printer's instruction manual.  
An xD-Picture Card cannot be inserted into the printer without a specified  
card adapter (sold separately).  
7
Transferring pictures to a PC and printing them from a printer  
connected to the PC  
If your PC has software applications installed that support JPEG images  
(Internet browser, Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop, etc.), you can print out your  
pictures on a printer connected to the PC. (Printing is also possible using  
CAMEDIA Master software.) Check your software before printing. For  
details, refer to the application software's instructions.  
For instructions on how to transfer images, or connect the camera to a PC,  
see “DIGITAL CAMERA-PC CONNECTION OPERATION MANUAL” on the  
CD-ROM.  
93  
How to print pictures  
TIPS  
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)  
A compression format for color still images. Photographs (images)  
shot using this camera are recorded onto the card in JPEG format  
when the record mode is set to SHQ, HQ or SQ. By downloading  
these images to a personal computer, users can edit them using  
graphics application software or view the images using an Internet  
web browser.  
Picture size and printing  
The resolution of a computer/printer is generally based on the  
number of dots (pixel) per inch. This is called dpi (dots per inch).  
The higher the dpi value, the better the printed results. Keep in  
mind, however, that the dpi of the picture does not change. This  
means that when you print an image with a higher resolution, the  
size of the printed picture will be smaller. Although you can print  
magnified images, picture quality will decrease.  
If you want to print large, high-quality pictures, set the record mode  
as high as possible when taking the pictures. ~ “Changing the  
record mode” (P. 59)  
DPOF reservations set by another device cannot be changed by  
this camera. Make changes using the original device.  
If a card contains DPOF reservations set by another device,  
entering reservations using this camera may overwrite the previous  
reservations.  
7
Note  
DPOF reservations can be performed for only the first 999 frames  
on a card.  
If the card is full, print reservation is not available. "CARD FULL" is  
displayed.  
Even if an image appears with the message “PICTURE ERROR”, it  
may be possible to make print reservations. In such a case, the  
print reservation icon ( ) does not appear when an image is  
displayed for full view.  
appears when multiple images are  
displayed (index-display mode), allowing you to confirm the print  
reservation.  
Not all functions may be available on all printers or at all photo labs.  
Print reservation may take considerable time when saving printing  
data to a card.

Flowchart  
By connecting the camera to a computer with the provided USB cable,  
images on a card can be transferred to the computer. Some OS’s (operating  
systems) may need a special setup before connecting to the camera for the  
first time. Follow the chart below.  
Identifying the OS (p.6)

Flowchart  
When connecting the camera to the computer, make sure that there is  
sufficient remaining battery power. When connected (transmitting) to the  
computer, the camera does not enter the sleep mode nor will the camera’s  
power turn off automatically. Depending on the camera model, when the  
battery power runs out or the internal temperature rises, the camera may  
stop operating automatically. This could cause the computer to  
malfunction, and any image data (file) being transmitted may be lost. Be  
careful when downloading files for a long period of time. Use the AC  
adapter (optional) when downloading files.  
If you connect or disconnect the AC adapter when the camera is connected  
to the computer and is running on battery power, it may result in the loss of  
image data on the card or cause a malfunction in the computer. Before  
connecting or disconnecting the AC adapter, disconnect the camera from  
the computer and make sure that the camera is turned off.  
To avoid computer malfunctions, do not turn off the camera when the  
camera is connected to a computer.  
If the camera is connected to the computer via a USB hub, operation may  
not be stable if there are any compatibility problems between the computer  
and the hub. In such cases, do not use the hub and connect the camera  
directly to the computer.  
You can view images using: graphics applications that support the JPEG  
file format (Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop, etc.); Internet browsers (Netscape  
Communicator, Microsoft Internet Explorer, etc.); CAMEDIA Master  
software; or other software. For details on using commercial graphics  
applications, refer to their instruction manuals.  
QuickTime is needed for playing back movies. QuickTime is included on  
the provided software CD.  
If you want to process images, make sure to download them to your  
computer first. Depending on the software, image files may be destroyed if  
the images are processed (rotated, etc.) while they are on the card.
