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 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 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 flash in dark situations results in
an image with many flash reflections 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 #(flash charge) stops blinking before
taking pictures.

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. 14)
● Set [AF MODE] (p. 28) to [FACE/iESP]
“Taking pictures without camera shake”
● Taking a picture in [AF TRACKING] mode
(p. 28)
● Taking pictures using N mode (p. 20)
(FE-4020/X-940)
The camera tracks the subject movement
automatically to focus on it continuously.
● Taking pictures using [IMAGE STABILIZER]
(p. 28) (FE-4040)
● Taking a picture of subjects where autofocus
● Select C (SPORT) in s mode (p. 20)
is difficult
The C (SPORT) mode uses a fast shutter speed
and can reduce the blur incurred by a moving
subject.
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.
● Taking pictures at a high ISO sensitivity
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.
Subjects with low contrast
“Selecting the ISO sensitivity” (p. 25)
Exposure (brightness)
“Taking pictures with the right
brightness”
When extremely bright objects
appear in the center of the
screen
● Taking pictures using [FILL IN] (p. 23) flash
A subject against backlight is brightened.
● Taking pictures using exposure compensation
(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.
*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.

Playback/Editing tips
Color hue
“Taking pictures with colors at the same
shade as they appear”
Playback
● Taking pictures by selecting white balance
(p. 25)
“Playing images in the internal memory
and card”
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.)
● Remove the card when playing pictures in the
internal memory
“Inserting the battery and the SD/SDHC memory
card (sold separately)” (p. 10)
Editing
Image quality
“Erasing the sound recorded to a still
image”
“Taking sharper pictures”
● Record over the sound with silence when
● Taking pictures with the optical zoom
Avoid using digital zoom (p. 16) to take pictures.
● Taking pictures at a low ISO sensitivity
playing back the image
“Adding sound to still images [R]” (p. 31)
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.
“Selecting the ISO sensitivity” (p. 25)
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
● Set [POWER SAVE] (p. 36) to [ON]

Appendix
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 floor mount
position.

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 film that records images in a film 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

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
