Noise in images  
While 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. [NOISE REDUCT.]:

designated for use with this camera on the camera hot shoe:  
• Using obsolete ash units that apply currents of more than about 24V to the camera  
hot shoe X-contact will damage the camera.  
• Connecting ash units with signal contacts that do not conform to Olympus  
specications may damage the camera.  
• Use only with the camera in shooting mode M at shutter speeds slower than 1/180s  
and at ISO settings other than [AUTO].  
• Flash control can only be performed by manually setting the ash to the ISO  
sensitivity and aperture values selected with the camera. Flash brightness can be  
adjusted by adjusting either ISO sensitivity or aperture.  
• Use a ash with an angle of illumination suited to the lens. Angle of illumination is  
usually expressed using 35-mm format equivalent focal lengths.

Shooting tips and information  
The camera does not turn on even when a battery is loaded  
The battery is not fully charged  
• Charge the battery with the charger.  
The battery is temporarily unable to function because of the cold  
• Battery performance drops at low temperatures. Remove the battery and warm it by  
putting it in your pocket for a while.  
No picture is taken when the shutter button is pressed  
The camera has turned off automatically  
• The camera automatically enters sleep mode to reduce the drain on the battery if no  
operations are performed for a set period of time. g [SLEEP] (P. 13)  
If no operations are performed for a set time (5 minutes) after the camera has  
entered sleep mode, the camera will turn off automatically.  
The ash is charging  
• On the LCD monitor, the #mark blinks when charging is in progress. Wait for the  
blinking to stop, then press the shutter button.  
Unable to focus  
• The camera can not focus on subjects that are too close to the camera or that are  
not suited to autofocus (the AF conrmation mark will blink in the monitor). Increase  
the distance to the subject or focus on a high contrast object at the same distance  
from the camera as your main subject, compose the shot, and shoot.  
11  
Subjects that are difcult to focus on  
It may be difcult to focus with auto focus in the following situations.

Noise reduction is activated  
• When shooting night scenes, shutter speeds are slower and noise tends to appear  
in images. The camera activates the noise-reduction process after shooting at  
slow shutter speeds. During which, shooting is not allowed. You can set [NOISE  
REDUCT.] to [OFF]. g“Custom menu” (P. 78)  
The date and time has not been set  
The camera is used with the settings at the time of purchase  
• The date and time of the camera is not set when purchased. Set the date and time  
before using the camera. g“Setting the date/time” (P. 7)  
The battery has been removed from the camera  
• The date and time settings will be returned to the factory default settings if the  
camera is left without the battery for approximately 1 day. The settings will be  
cancelled more quickly if the battery was only loaded in the camera for a short time  
before being removed. Before taking important pictures, check that the date and  
time settings are correct.  
Set functions are restored to their factory default settings  
When you rotate the mode dial or turn off the power in a shooting mode other than P,  
A, S, or M, functions with changes made to their settings are restored to the factory  
default settings.  
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 are 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. 98)  
11  
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.

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.  
LCD monitor:  
• Wipe gently with a soft cloth.  
Lens:  
• Blow dust off the lens 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.  
• Remove dust and other foreign matter from the body and rear caps before attaching  
them.  
Attach the body cap to the camera to prevent dust from getting inside when no lens is  
attached. Be sure to replace the front and rear lens caps before putting the lens away.  
• Clean the camera after use.  
• Do not store with insect repellent.  
Cleaning and checking the image pickup device  
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. The dust reduction function operates  
when the camera is turned on.  
11  
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.  
# Caution  
• 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.

Battery and charger  
• Use the single Olympus lithium-ion battery (BLS-5). Batteries other than genuine  
OLYMPUS BLS-5 batteries can not be used.  
• The camera’s power consumption varies widely with usage and other conditions.  
• 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.  
• Displaying images on the LCD monitor for a prolonged period.  
• When connected to a computer or printer.  
• When using a drained battery, the camera may turn off without the low battery  
warning being displayed.  
• The battery will not be fully charged at the time of purchase. Charge the battery  
using the provided charger (BCS-5) before use.  
• The normal charging time using the provided charger is approximately 3 hours 30  
minutes (estimated).  
• Do not attempt to use chargers not specically designated for use with the supplied  
battery, or to use batteries not specically designated for use with the supplied  
charger.  
# 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. “Battery Handling  
Precautions” (P. 115)  
Using your charger abroad  
• The charger can be used in most home electrical sources within the range of 100V  
to 240V 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.  
11  
• Do not use commercially available travel adaptors as the charger may malfunction.

Interchangeable lenses  
Choose a lens according to the scene and your creative intent. Use  
lenses designed exclusively for the Micro Four Thirds System, which  
bear the symbol shown at right. With an adapter, you can also use Four  
Thirds System and OM System lenses.  
M.ZUIKO DIGITAL interchangeable lenses  
This is an interchangeable lens specically for use with the “Micro Four Thirds  
system” which is a smaller, thinner version of the “Four Thirds system”.  
Micro Four Thirds System lenses  
Cameras designed for the Micro Four Thirds System do away with the bulky mirror  
box and viewnder found in ordinary single-lens reex cameras, resulting in a  
camera body that is substantially more compact. Similarly, lens design is matched  
to the camera for a compact, light-weight photo system. One characteristic of Micro  
Four Thirds System lenses is that they can achieve magnications equivalent to  
double those produced by 35 mm format cameras with lenses of the same focal  
length, producing high-power lenses that are light and compact. For example, a  
Micro Four Thirds System lens with a focal length of 14–42 mm is equivalent to a  
35 mm format lens with a focal length of 28–84 mm. The aperture of a Micro Four  
Thirds System lens can also be made smaller than that of a 35 mm format lens,  
making it possible to achieve a lens with the same brightness (f-number) in a smaller  
package. The brighter the lens, the faster the shutter speeds that can be achieved  
under low-light conditions.  
# Caution  
• 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.  
11  
• 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.

location, such as under direct sunlight, where it is difcult to view the monitor,  
or are using the camera at a low angle. Also refer to the electronic view nder’s  
manual.  
1 Turn off the camera.  
2 Slide off the hot shoe cover.  
• Keep the shoe cover in a safe place to  
avoid losing it.  
3 Remove the connector cover from  
the electronic view nder.  
4 Align the electronic view nder with the hot shoe on the camera  
body, and slide it in until it stops.  
• Insert the electronic view nder by pushing on its lower part.  
5 Turn on the camera.  
6 Each press of the u button switches between the monitor  
display and electronic view nder display.  
You can adjust the brightness and color temperature of the electronic view  
nder. [EVF ADJUST]: g“Accessory port menu options” (P. 90)  
7 Turn the diopter adjustment ring to  
a position where the image on the  
viewnder can be seen clearly.  
11  
• Adjust the electronic view nder to your  
preferred angle (up to 90 degrees).  
# Caution  
You cannot use an external ash and the electronic  
view nder at the same time.  
• When carrying the camera, do not hold it by the  
electronic view nder. The camera may separate  
from the electronic view nder and drop.  
• Do not leave the camera with the electronic view  
nder attached in a location subject to direct

• Use optional off-camera ash units to prevent vignetting. To prevent photographs  
from being overexposed, select mode A or M and choose a high f-number, or  
reduce ISO sensitivity.  
External ash shooting  
With this camera, you can use one of the separately sold external ash units to  
achieve a ash suited to your needs. The external ashes communicate with the  
camera, allowing you to control the camera’s ash modes with various available  
ash control modes, such as TTL-AUTO and Super FP ash.  
11  
An external ash unit specied for use with this camera can be mounted on the  
camera by attaching it to the camera’s hot shoe. You can also attach the ash to  
the ash bracket on the camera using the bracket cable (optional). Refer to the  
documentation provided with the external ash units as well.

remove it immediately after using the camera.  
Do not twist the camera.  
Always unload the battery from the camera  
before storing the camera for a long period.  
Do not leave the camera pointed directly  
at the sun. This may cause lens or shutter  
curtain damage, color failure, ghosting on  
the image pickup device, or may possibly  
cause res.  
This camera uses a lithium ion battery  
specied by Olympus. Do not use any  
other type of battery. For safe and proper  
use, read the battery's instruction manual  
carefully before using it.  
Do not touch electric contacts on cameras  
and interchangeable lenses. Remember to  
attach the body cap when removing the lens.  
If the battery's terminals get wet or greasy,  
camera contact failure may result. Wipe the  
battery well with a dry cloth before use.  
Before storing the camera for a long period,  
remove the battery. 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 release button  
to make sure that it is operating normally.  
Always charge a battery when using it for  
the rst 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 camera may malfunction if it is used in  
a location where it is subject to a magnetic/  
electromagnetic eld, 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.  
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  
difcult to obtain while traveling.  
Always observe the operating environment  
restrictions described in the camera's manual.  
Do not directly touch or wipe the image  
pickup device of the camera.  
When the camera will not be used for an  
extended period, store it in a cool place.  
LCD Monitor  
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.  
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.  
Caution for Usage Environment  
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.  
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:  
12  
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.  
• 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 humidiers.  
• In sandy or dusty environments.  
• Near ammable items or explosives.  
• In wet places, such as bathrooms  
or in the rain. When using products  
with weatherproof designs, read their  
manuals as well.  
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.  
• 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.
