In the ISO setting, although smaller values result in
less sensitivity, sharp images can be taken under fully

and images can be taken at fast shutter speeds even
under low light conditions. However, high sensitivity
introduces noise into the resulting picture, which may
give it a grainy appearance.

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 fix the
problem(s).
● With prolonged camera use, the internal
temperature may increase, resulting in automatic
shutdown. If this occurs, remove the battery from
the camera and wait until the camera has sufficiently
cooled. The camera’s external temperature may
also increase during use, however this is normal and
does not indicate malfunction.
Troubleshooting

Shooting tips
When you are unsure of how to take a picture that you
envision, refer to the information below.
Object with no vertical lines*1
Focusing
*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.
“Focusing on the subject”
● Taking a picture of a subject not in the center
of the screen
After focusing on an object at the same distance
as the subject, compose the shot, and take the
picture.
When objects are at different
distances
Pressing the shutter button halfway (p. 20)
● Set [AF Mode] (p. 40) to [Face/iESP]
● Taking a picture in [AF Tracking] mode (p. 40)
The camera tracks the subject movement
automatically to focus on it continuously.
Fast-moving object
● Taking a picture of a shadowy subject
Using the AF illuminator makes focusing easier.
[AF Illuminat.] (p. 41)
● Taking a picture of subjects where autofocus
is difficult
The subject is not in the center of
the frame
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.
Subjects with low contrast
When extremely bright objects
appear in the center of the screen

● Taking pictures of a white beach or snow scene
Camera shake
Set the mode to [q Beach & Snow] (p. 29)
● Taking pictures using exposure compensation
(p. 36)
“Taking pictures without camera shake”
● Taking pictures using [Image Stabilizer] (p. 41)
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.
When a picture is taken of a shadowy subject, the
CCD*1 shifts to correct for camera shake even if
the ISO speed is not increased. This function is
also effective when taking pictures at a high zoom
magnification.

noise (small colored spots and color unevenness
that were not in the original image) can occur, and
the image can appear grainy.

result in a low-temperature burn. Pay attention to the
following:
• Never mix batteries (old and new batteries, charged and
uncharged batteries, batteries of different manufacture or
capacity, etc.).
• 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.
• Never attempt to charge alkaline, lithium battery packs.
• Insert the battery carefully as described in the operating
instructions.
• 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.
Be careful with the strap.
• Do not use batteries if their body is not covered by the
insulating sheet or if the sheet is torn, as this may cause fluid
leaks, fire or injury.
•
CAUTION
• Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera. It could
easily catch on stray objects and cause serious damage.
• Do not remove batteries immediately after using the camera.
Batteries may become hot during prolonged use.
• Always unload the battery from the camera before storing the
camera for a long period.
Battery Handling Precautions
Follow these important guidelines to prevent batteries from leaking,
overheating, burning, exploding, or causing electrical shocks or
burns.
DANGER
• When using NiMH batteries (rechargeable batteries), use only
Olympus brand NiMH batteries and the correct charger.
• Never heat or incinerate batteries.
• Take precautions when carrying or storing batteries to prevent
them from coming into contact with any metal objects such as
jewelry, pins, fasteners, etc.
• 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.
72 EN
Caution for Usage Environment
The following AA (R6) batteries cannot be
used.
• 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.
Batteries whose bodies are only partially or not at
all covered by an insulating sheet.
• 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 the camera is mounted on or removed from a tripod,
adjust the position of the camera using the tripod head. Do not
twist the camera.
• When carrying the camera, remove all accessories other
than genuine Olympus accessories, such as a tripod (sold
separately).
Batteries whose -terminals are raised, but not
covered by an insulating sheet.
• 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 CCD, 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.
• The camera may malfunction if it is used in a location where
it is subject to a magnetic/electromagnetic field, radio waves,
or high voltage, such as near a TV set, microwave, video
game, loud speakers, large monitor unit, TV/radio tower, or
transmission towers. In such cases, turn the camera off and on
again before further operation.
Batteries whose -terminals are flat and not
completely covered by an insulating sheet. (Such
batteries cannot be used even if the -terminals
are partially covered.)
• If NiMH batteries are not charged within the specified time,
stop charging them and do not use them.
• Do not use a battery if it is cracked or broken.
• If a battery leaks, becomes discolored, deformed or becomes
abnormal in any other way during operation, stop using the
camera.
• If a battery leaks fluid onto your clothing or skin, remove the
clothing and flush the affected area with clean, running cold
water immediately. If the fluid burns your skin, seek medical
attention immediately.
• Never subject batteries to strong shocks or continuous
vibration.
• Always observe the operating environment restrictions
described in the camera’s manual.
Battery Handling Precautions
• Olympus NiMH batteries (included in some areas) are intended
for use only with Olympus digital cameras. Never use these
batteries with any other device.
• Always charge NiMH batteries (included in some areas) before
using them for the first time, or if they have not been used for
a long period.
EN 73
• Always charge sets of batteries (included in some areas) (2
or 4) together.
• In some cases, alkaline batteries may have a shorter service
life than NiMH. Alkaline battery performance is limited,
especially at low temperatures. The use of NiMH batteries is
recommended.
• 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.
• AA manganese (Zinc-Carbon) batteries cannot be used with
this camera.
Legal and Other Notices
• When operating the camera with battery power at low
temperatures, try to keep the camera and spare batteries
as warm as possible. Batteries which run down at low
temperatures may be restored after they are warmed at room
temperature.
• Olympus makes no representations or warranties regarding
any damages, or benefit expected by using this unit lawfully,
or any request from a third person, which are caused by the
inappropriate use of this product.
• Olympus makes no representations or warranties regarding
any damages or any benefit expected by using this unit
lawfully which are caused by erasing picture data.
• Recommended temperature ranges for NiMH batteries:
Operation
Charge
Storage
0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
-20°C to 30°C (-4°F to 86°F)
Disclaimer of Warranty
• Using, charging or storing the batteries outside these ranges
could shorten battery life or affect battery performance. Always
unload the batteries from the camera before storing the
camera for a long period.
• Before using NiMH or NiCd batteries, always read the provided
instructions.
• The number of pictures you can take may vary depending on
the shooting conditions or batteries.
• Before going on a long trip, and especially before traveling
abroad, purchase an ample supply of extra batteries. The
recommended batteries may be difficult to obtain while
traveling.
• Olympus makes no representations or warranties, either expressed
or implied, by or concerning any content of these written materials
or software, and in no event shall be liable for any implied warranty
of merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose or for
any consequential, incidental or indirect damages (including

interruption and loss of business information) arising from the use
or inability to use these written materials or software or equipment.
Some countries do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for
consequential or incidental damages or of the implied warranty, so
the above limitations may not apply to you.

Warning
Unauthorized photographing or use of copyrighted material
may violate applicable copyright laws. Olympus assumes no
responsibility for unauthorized photographing, use or other acts
that infringe upon the rights of copyright owners.
LCD Monitor
• Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise the image may

• 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.
