Charging the battery with the  
supplied USB-AC adapter  
The battery is not fully charged at the time  
of purchase. Before use, be sure to charge  
the battery until the indicator lamp turns off  
(up to 3 hours).  
The included F-2AC USB-AC adapter  
(with an AC cable or plug-in type; hereafter  
referred to as AC adapter) differs depending  
on the region where you purchased the  
camera. If you received a plug-in type AC  
adapter, plug it directly into an AC outlet.  
If the indicator lamp does not light, the  
camera is not correctly connected or the  
battery, camera, or AC adapter may be  
damaged.  
For details on the battery and the AC  
adapter, see “Battery and AC adapter  
(included)” (p. 46).  
The included AC adapter has been designed  
to be used only for charging. Make sure  
that operations such as shooting, viewing  
images and so on are not being used while  
the AC adapter is connected to the camera.  
When to charge the batteries  
Charge the battery when the error message  
shown below appears.

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 x the problem(s).  
Monitor  
“Difcult to see”.  
Condensation*1 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.  
Troubleshooting  
*1  
Dew drops can form in the camera when it is  
suddenly taken from a cold location into a warm,  
humid room.  
Battery  
“The camera does not work even when  
batteries are installed”.  
“Vertical lines appear on the screen”.  
This condition may occur when the camera is  
pointed at an extremely bright subject under a  
clear sky and so on. The lines do not appear,  
however, in the nal image.  
Insert recharged batteries in the correct direction.  
“Inserting the battery and the SD/SDHC memory  
card (sold separately)” (p. 10),“Charging the  
battery with the supplied USB-AC adapter” (p. 11)  
“The light is caught in the picture”.  
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.  
Shooting with ash in dark situations results in  
an image with many ash reections on dust in  
the air.  
Date and time function  
Card/Internal memory  
“An error message is displayed”.  
“Error message” (p. 43)  
“Date and time settings return to the  
default setting”.  
If the batteries are removed and left out of the  
camera for about a day*2, the date and time  
settings return to the default setting, and must  
be reset.  
Shutter button  
“No picture is taken when the shutter  
button is pressed”.  
*2  
The time until the date and time settings return  
to the default setting varies depending on how  
long the batteries have been loaded.  
Cancel sleep mode.  
To save battery power, the camera automatically  
goes into sleep mode and the monitor turns off  
if there is no operation for 3 minutes when the  
camera is turned on. No picture is taken even if  
the shutter button is fully pressed in this mode.  
Operate the zoom buttons or other buttons to  
restore the camera from sleep mode before  
taking a picture. If the camera is left for another  
12 minutes, it automatically turns off. Press the  
n button to turn the camera on.  
“Setting the date, time and time zone” (p. 12)  
Miscellaneous  
“The camera makes a noise when taking  
pictures”.  
The camera may activate the lens and make a  
noise even if no operation is performed. This  
is because the camera automatically performs  
actions of auto focus as far as it is ready to shoot.  
Press the qbutton to switch to the shooting  
mode.  
Wait until #(ash charge) stops blinking before  
taking pictures.

(p. 24)  
Object with no vertical lines*1  
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.

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. The resulting image  
is grainier than with low ISO sensitivity as well.

Camera care  
Battery and AC adapter  
(included)  
Exterior  
This camera uses one Olympus lithium ion  
battery (LI-70B). No other type of batteries can  
be used.  
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.  
Caution:  
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is  
replaced with the incorrect battery type.  
Dispose of the used battery following the  
instructions. (p. 52)  
Monitor  
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.  
Wipe gently with a soft cloth.  
Lens  
Blow dust off the lens with a commercial  
blower, then wipe gently with a lens cleaner.  
The zoom is used repeatedly.  
Battery/AC adapter  
Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.  
The shutter button is pressed halfway  
repeatedly in shooting mode, activating the  
auto focus.  
A picture is displayed on the monitor for an  
extended period of time.  
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.  
The camera is connected to a computer or  
printer.  
Using an exhausted battery may cause the  
camera to turn off without displaying the  
battery level warning.  
Storage  
When storing the camera for extended  
periods, remove the battery, AC adapter and  
card, and keep in a cool, dry place that is well  
ventilated.  
Periodically insert the battery and test the  
camera functions.  
The rechargeable battery is not fully charged  
at the time of purchase. Before use, charge the  
battery fully with the supplied F-2AC USB-AC  
adapter (hereafter referred to as AC adapter)  
or an optional AC adapter (F-1AC/D-7AC).  
When the included AC adapter is used,  
charging usually takes approximately 3 hours  
(varies on usage).  
The included AC adapter has been designed  
to be used only for charging. Make sure that  
operations such as shooting, viewing images  
and so on are not being used while the AC  
adapter is connected to the camera.  
The included AC adapter is designed to be  
used only with this camera. Other cameras  
cannot be charged with this AC adapter.  
Do not use with other devices.  
Avoid leaving the camera in places where  
chemical products are handled since this  
may result in corrosion.  
For plug-in type AC adapter:  
The included AC adapter is intended to be  
correctly orientated in a vertical or oor mount  
position.  
46 EN  
Using a separately sold AC  
adapter  
Using an SD/SDHC memory  
card  
A D-7AC AC adapter (sold separately) is useful  
for time-consuming tasks such as downloading  
images to a computer or when running a  
slideshow for a long period of time. A CB-MA1/  
CB-MA3 multi-adapter (sold separately) is  
required when using a D-7AC AC adapter with  
this camera. To charge the battery, turn the  
camera off and connect the D-7AC AC adapter.  
Use only AC adapters approved for use with this  
camera.  
A card (and internal memory) also corresponds  
to the lm that records images in a lm camera.  
Otherwise, the recorded images (data) can be  
erased, and retouching is also available with  
the use of a computer. Cards can be removed  
from the camera and exchanged, but this is  
not possible with the internal memory. Use of  
larger capacity cards enables you to take more  
pictures.  
SD/SDHC card write-protect switch  
The SD/SDHC card body has a write-protect  
switch. If you set the switch to the “LOCK”  
side, you will not be able to write to the card,  
delete data or format. Release the switch to  
enable writing.  
Using your AC adapter abroad  
The 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 AC adapter may require  
a plug adapter to match the wall outlet. For  
details, ask at your local electrical shop or  
travel agent.  
LOCK  
Do not use travel voltage converters as they  
could damage your AC adapter.
