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).  
Monitor  
“Difficult 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 final image.  
● Insert recharged batteries in the correct direction.  
“Inserting the battery” (p. 10)  
● 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.  
“The light is caught in the picture”.  
● Shooting with flash in dark situations results in  
an image with many flash reflections on dust in  
the air.  
Card/Internal memory  
“An error message is displayed”.  
“Error message” (p. 54)  
Date and time function  
“Date and time settings return to the  
default setting”.  
Shutter button  
● If the batteries are removed and left out of the  
camera for about 3 days*2, the date and time  
settings return to the default setting, and must  
be reset.  
“No picture is taken when the shutter  
button is pressed”.  
● Cancel sleep mode.  
*2  
The time until the date and time settings return  
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 lever 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.  
to the default setting varies depending on how  
long the batteries have been loaded.  
“Setting the date, time and time zone” (p. 13)  
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 #(flash charge) stops blinking before  
taking pictures.  
● 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.

Shooting tips  
When you are unsure of how to take a picture  
that you envision, refer to the information below.  
Fast-moving object  
Focusing  
“Focusing on the subject”  
The subject is not in the center  
of the frame  
● 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.  
Camera shake  
Pressing the shutter button halfway (p. 15)  
● Set [AF MODE] (p. 31) to [FACE/iESP]  
“Taking pictures without camera shake”  
● Taking a picture in [AF TRACKING] mode  
(p. 31)  
● Taking pictures using [IMAGE STABILIZER]  
(p. 33)  
The camera tracks the subject movement  
automatically to focus on it continuously.  
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.  
● Taking a picture of a shadowy subject  
Using the AF illuminator makes focusing easier.  
[AF ILLUMINAT.] (p. 34)  
*1  
A device that takes light received through the  
lens and converts it into electric signals.  
● Taking a picture of subjects where autofocus  
is difficult  
● Shooting movies using [IS MOVIE MODE]  
(p. 33)  
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.  
● Select C (SPORT) in the scene mode (p. 21)  
The C (SPORT) mode uses a fast shutter speed  
and can reduce the blur incurred by a moving  
subject.  
● Taking pictures at a high ISO sensitivity  
Subjects with low contrast  
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.  
“Selecting the ISO sensitivity” (p. 28)  
When extremely bright objects  
appear in the center of the  
screen  
Object with no vertical lines*1  
*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.  
When objects are at different  
distances  
EN 55  
Exposure (brightness)  
Image quality  
“Taking pictures with the right  
brightness”  
“Taking sharper pictures”  
● Taking pictures with the optical zoom  
Avoid using digital zoom (p. 32) to take pictures.  
● Taking pictures at a low ISO sensitivity  
● Taking pictures of a subject against a backlight  
Faces or backgrounds are bright even when shot  
against backlight.  
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.  
[SHADOW ADJUST] (p. 31)  
● Taking pictures using [FACE/iESP] (p. 31)  
Appropriate exposure is obtained for a face  
against backlight, and the face is brightened.  
“Selecting the ISO sensitivity” (p. 28)  
● Taking pictures using [n] for [ESP/n]  
(p. 32)  
Panorama  
Brightness is matched with a subject in the center  
of the screen and the image is not affected by  
background light.  
“Taking pictures so that the frames are  
stitched smoothly”  
● A tip for panoramic shooting  
● Taking pictures using [FILL IN] (p. 26) flash  
Taking pictures by pivoting with the camera at the  
center prevents shifting of the image. When taking  
pictures of close objects in particular, pivoting with  
the lens end at the center produces favorable  
results.  
A subject against backlight is brightened.  
● Taking pictures of a white beach or snow  
scene  
Set the mode to [q BEACH & SNOW] (p. 21)  
● Taking pictures using exposure compensation  
(p. 27)  
[PANORAMA] (p. 23)  
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.  
Batteries  
“Making batteries last longer”  
● Avoid any of the following operations when not  
actually taking pictures because they deplete  
the battery power  
● Repeatedly pressing the shutter button  
halfway.  
● Repeatedly using the zoom.  
Color hue  
● Set [POWER SAVE] (p. 47) to [ON]  
“Taking pictures with colors at the same  
shade as they appear”  
● Taking pictures by selecting white balance  
(p. 28)  
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 pictures using [FILL IN] (p. 26) flash  
Use of the flash is also effective for shooting under  
fluorescent and other artificial lighting.

Battery Handling Precautions  
Disclaimer of Warranty  
•
•
This camera uses a lithium ion battery specified by  
Olympus. Do not use any other type of battery.  
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.  
The number of pictures you can take may vary  
depending on the shooting conditions or battery.  
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.

Unauthorized photographing or use of  
copyrighted material may violate applicable  
copyright laws. Olympus assumes no  
responsibility for unauthorized photographing,

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.  
Copyright Notice  
•
•
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.  
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.
