Noise in images
During 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.

During live view, the camera measures the light levels and calculates the light level differences in
324 separate areas of the image (49 areas when shooting with the view finder). This mode is
recommended for general use.
Setting the AF synchronized function to [ESP+AF] enables metering centered around the AF target
that is in focus with AF. It is available when shooting using the view finder (phase difference AF).

HCenter weighted averaging metering
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 in the viewfinder. Use this
mode when there is very strong backlight.
2
IJSpot 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.

allowing accurate black reproduction. Metering area is the same as spot metering.
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. The exposure can be adjusted in a range of ±5.0 EV.

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.
e.g.) When BKT is set to [3F 1.0EV]
-1.0EV

Selecting the white balance
Color reproduction differs depending on the 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.
4
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][>][][n]
7 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. 143).
One-touch white balance [][][][]
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.

eye phenomenon. In S/M/BULB mode, the
flash always fires.
5
The subject’s eyes appear red
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.
1st curtain
Usually, the flash fires right after the shutter fully opens. This is called 1st curtain. This
method is usually used during flash shooting.
73
EN
Slow synchronization (2nd curtain) #SLOW2
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/M/BULB mode, the flash always fires.

Slow synchronization (1st curtain)/Red-eye reduction flash !SLOW
5
While using slow synchronization with flash shooting, you can also use this function to
achieve red-eye reduction. When shooting a subject against a night scene, this function
allows you to reduce the red-eye phenomenon. As the time from emitting pre-flashes to
shooting is long in 2nd curtain synchronization, it is difficult to achieve red-eye reduction.
Hence, only 1st curtain synchronization setting is available.
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 1/250 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. 79)

Built-in flash shooting
If you shoot a subject using a lens that is wider than 14mm (equivalent to 28mm on a 35mm
film camera), the light emitted by the flash may produce a vignette effect. Whether or not
vignetting occurs also depends on lens type, hood and shooting conditions (such as distance
to the subject).

• When [#RC MODE] is set to [ON], the built-in flash will fire only to communicate with the
external flash so it will not function as a flash. g“Shooting with the Olympus wireless RC
flash system” (P. 80)
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.

5
x Notes
• The flash fires each time the shutter is released. When you do not need to use the flash, turn
off the flash’s power.
• Check beforehand that the flash you are using is synchronized with the camera.
Non-specified commercial flashes
1) Some commercially available flashes require a voltage of 250V or more for the
synchronization connector. The use of this type of flash can damage the camera or
prevent the camera from operating properly. Contact the manufacturer of the flash for the
specifications of the flash synchronization connector.
2) Some commercially available flashes have a synchronization connector with reversed
polarity. This type of flash does not work with this camera. Contact the manufacturer of the
flash.
3) Exposures when using a flash require that adjustments be made on the flash. If a flash is
used in the auto mode, match it with the f-number and ISO sensitivity settings on the
camera.
4) Even if the flash auto f-number and ISO sensitivity are set the same as on the camera, the
correct exposure may not be obtained depending on the shooting conditions. In such a
case, adjust the auto f-number or ISO on the flash or calculate the distance in the manual
mode.
5) Use a flash with an illumination angle that matches the focal length of the lens. The focal
length of the lens for 35 mm film is approximately twice as long as the focal length of the
lenses designed for this camera.
6) Do not use a flash unit or other accessory TTL flash that has additional communication
functions other than the specified flashes, since it may not only fail to function normally,
but may also cause damage to the camera’s circuitry.

Subjects that are difficult to focus on
It may be difficult to focus with auto focus in the following situations.
AF confirmation mark is
blinking.
These subjects are not
focused.
Subject with low contrast Excessively bright light
in center of frame
Subject with
repeated patterns
AF confirmation mark
lights up but the subject
is not focused.
Subjects at different
distances
Fast-moving subject
Subject not inside
AF area
In any situation, focus on something with high contrast that is at the same distance as the
subject, determine the composition and shoot the picture.
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. 138)
Unknown bright dot(s) appear on the subject in the picture taken
This may be due to stuck pixel (s) on the image pickup device. Perform [PIXEL MAPPING]. If
the problem persists, repeat pixel mapping a few times. g“Pixel mapping kChecking the
image processing functions” (P. 135)
Functions that cannot be selected from menus
Some items may not be selectable from the menus when using the arrow pad.
• Items that cannot be set with the current shooting mode
• Items that cannot be set because of an item that has already been set:
Combination of [j] and [NOISE REDUCT.], etc.
When the focus cannot be obtained with imager AF
When using a lens other than high-speed Imager AF-compatible, it may be difficult to focus
depending on the subject.Setting [PD AFL] to [ON] in the Custom Menu allows to use the
phase difference AF during live view by pressing AFL/AEL button g“PD AFL” (P. 103).
For the information about the high-speed Imager AF-compatible lens, visit the Olympus

Camera maintenance
Cleaning and storing the camera
Cleaning the camera
Turn off the camera and remove the battery before cleaning the camera.
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 well wrung.
Monitor and viewfinder:
• Wipe gently with a soft cloth.
Lens, mirror and focusing screen:
• Blow dust off the lens, mirror and focusing screen with a commercially available blower. For the
lens, wipe gently with a lens cleaning paper.
Storage
• When not using the camera for a prolonged period, remove the battery and card. Store the
camera in a cool, dry place that is well ventilated.
• Insert the battery periodically and test the camera’s functions.
Cleaning and checking the image pickup device
12
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. Dust reduction is activated when the power switch is set to ON and
when starting and stopping live view. 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.
134
EN
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.
Cleaning mode kRemoving dust
If dust or dirt gets on the image pickup device, black dots may appear in the picture. Contact
your Olympus Authorized Service Center to have the image pickup device physically
cleaned. The image pickup device is a precision device and is easily damaged. When
cleaning the image pickup device yourself, be sure to follow the instructions below. If power
runs out during cleaning, the shutter will close, which may cause the shutter curtain and
mirror to break. Keep an eye on the remaining battery power.

• If the camera turns off, the shutter curtain closes, causing the mirror to fall.
x Notes
• Be careful not to let the mechanical blower (commercially available) touch the image pickup
device. If the blower touches the image pickup device, the image pickup device will be
damaged.
• Never put the mechanical blower behind the lens mount. If the power turns off, the shutter
closes, breaking the shutter curtain.
• Do not use anything other than the mechanical blower. If high-pressure gas is sprayed onto
the image pickup device, it will freeze on the image pickup device’s surface, damaging the
image pickup device.
Pixel mapping kChecking the image processing functions
The pixel mapping feature allows the camera to check and adjust the image pickup device
and image processing functions. After using the monitor or taking continuous shots, wait for
at least one minute before using the pixel mapping function to ensure that it operates
correctly.

Battery and charger
z Use the single Olympus lithium-ion battery (BLM-5). Do not use other than Olympus
genuine battery. The BLM-1 can be used, however be sure to use the dedicated charger
(BCM-1 or BCM-2) when charging it. We recommend using BLM-5.
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.
• Using live view.
• 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 (BCM-5) before use.
z The normal charging time using the provided charger is approximately 3.5 hours
(estimated).
z When charging the provided battery, never use the charger other than the dedicated one.
Also do not use the provided charger for any battery other than the dedicated one.
Using your charger abroad
z The charger 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 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.

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. A 14-50 mm Four Thirds system lens, for example, is equivalent to a 28-
100 mm lens for a 35-mm camera.
• When the image angle of 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 Four Thirds system camera can achieve a depth of field equivalent to two times deeper
than that of a 35-mm camera. A Four Thirds system lens with f2.0 brightness, for example, is
equivalent to f4.0 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.

„ Storage Precautions
• Clean the lens after use. Remove dust and dirt on the surface of the lens with a blower
brush or brush. Use commercially available lens cleaning paper to remove the dirt on the
lens. Do not use organic solvents.
• Always cap the lens and store it when it is not used.
• Do not store in an area with insect repellent.
x Notes on Shooting
• Edges of pictures may be cut off if more than one filter is used or if a thick filter is used.
Program line diagram (Pmode)
In the Pmode, the camera is programmed such that the aperture value and shutter speed
are automatically selected according to the subject’s brightness as shown below. The
program line diagram varies with the type of lens mounted.

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.
The 4000K preset setting in this camera are correlated color temperatures, and should not be
considered strictly as 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.

•
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 on the monitor. This
is not a malfunction; it will be less noticeable in playback mode.
•
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.
