Loading batteries
Selecting batteries or the optional AC adapter
In addition to the batteries provided, this camera can also use the following
types of batteries or AC adapter. Choose the power source best suited to
the situation.
●CR-V3 lithium battery packs (Not rechargeable)
Because CR-V3 lithium battery packs have long lives, they are convenient
when traveling. Do not peel off their labels.
1
●NiMH batteries (Rechargeable)
Olympus NiMH batteries are rechargeable and economical. If they are
often charged without first using all their power, the amount of time they
can be used will become gradually shorter.
●AA (R6) alkaline batteries
When you need batteries in a hurry, you can use AA (R6) alkaline
batteries, which are easy to get anywhere. However, the number of
pictures you can store may vary greatly, depending on the battery
manufacturer, shooting conditions, etc. To save power, turn off the monitor
whenever possible.
●AC adapter
Be sure to use the specified AC adapter. An AC adapter is useful for time-
consuming tasks such as image downloads.
Use an AC adapter designed to operate on the AC voltage in the area the
camera is being used.
Consult your nearest Olympus dealer or service center for details.

Using the flash
ⅷAuto-flash (No indication)
The flash fires automatically in low light or backlight conditions.
To shoot a subject with backlight, position the AF target mark over the
subject.
ⅷRed-eye reduction flash (
)
The light from the flash may make the subject’s eyes appear red in the
picture. The red-eye reduction flash mode reduces this phenomenon by
emitting pre-flashes before firing the regular flash. This helps accustom the
subject’s eyes to the bright light and minimizes the red-eye phenomenon.
3
The subject’s eyes appear red.
• After the pre-flash, it takes about 1 second before the shutter is
released. Hold the camera firmly to avoid camera movement.
Note
• Effectiveness may be limited if the subject is not looking directly at
the pre-flashes, or if the shooting range is too far. Individual
physical characteristics may also limit effectiveness.
ⅷFill-in flash (
)
The flash fires regardless of the available light. This mode is useful for
eliminating shadows on the subject’s face (such as shadows from tree
leaves), in a backlight situation, or for correcting the color shift produced by
artificial lighting (especially fluorescent light).
• The fill-in flash may not have the desired effect under excessively
bright light.
Note

Using the flash
ⅷFlash off (
)
The flash does not fire even in low light conditions. Use this mode in
situations where flash photography is not desired or is prohibited, such as in
an art museum. You can also use this mode when you want to shoot a
natural-looking twilight or night scene.
• Since a slow shutter speed is automatically selected in low light
situations when in the flash off mode, the use of a tripod is
recommended to prevent your pictures from being blurred by
camera movement.

The macro mode allows you to shoot at a distance of 20 cm to 50 cm (0.7

You can also shoot subjects which are at a distance of over 50 cm (1.6 ft.).
However, compared to shots between 20 cm and 50 cm, the camera may

Selecting the metering area (Spot metering)
In a backlight situation, your subject may appear dark if the picture is taken
with the normal metering value (center-weighted average light metering). In
this case, by changing the metering area to the center of the viewfinder (spot
metering), a subject can be shot with optimal exposure regardless of the
background light.
OFF:
Meters the entire viewfinder to obtain the optimum exposure. (No indication
is displayed on the monitor.)
ON (spot metering):
Meters only the center of the viewfinder to obtain the appropriate exposure
for a subject there.

Changing the record mode
TIPS
• Resolution
The number of pixels (horizontal x vertical) used when saving an
image. If the image will be printed, higher resolutions (larger
numbers) are recommended so that the image will be clearer.
However, higher resolutions make the file size (amount of data)
larger, so the number of pictures that can be saved will be fewer.
• Pixels
A pixel is the smallest unit (dot) used to make up an image. Clear
large-sized printed images require millions of pixels.
• Resolution and picture size on a computer screen
When a picture is transferred to a computer, the size of the picture
on the computer screen varies depending on the computer’s
monitor setting. For instance, a picture taken in 1024
ן 768 resolution is the same size as the screen if you set the picture to
1
ן when the monitor setting is 1024 ן 768. However, if the monitor setting is over 1024
ן 768 (such as 1280 ן 1024), the picture only takes up part of the screen.

Varying the image brightness (Exposure compensation)
TIPS
• Often bright subjects (such as snow) will turn out darker than their
natural colors. Adjusting toward + makes these subjects closer to
their real shades. For the same reason, adjust toward – when
shooting dark subjects.
• If the flash is used, the image brightness (exposure) may differ from
the intended brightness (exposure).
• Exposure compensation cannot correct the image if the
Note
surroundings of the subject are extremely bright or dark.

Adjusting the White balance
Color reproduction differs depending on the light conditions. For instance,
when daylight, the setting sun or tungsten lighting are reflected on white
paper, the shade of white produced will be slightly different for each. By

colors.

Ⅵ RESET
When RESET is selected, the file number and folder number are reset
every time a new card is inserted in the camera. The folder number returns
to No. 100, and the file number returns to No. 0001. This is useful when
grouping files on separate cards.
Ⅵ AUTO
When AUTO is selected, the same folder number is retained, but the file
number continues from the previous card, so that the same file number is
not used on different cards. This helps you to manage multiple cards. This
is useful when a group of files stretches over more than one card.

How to print pictures
Several different printing options are available when you want to print out
pictures.
ⅷPrinting at a photo lab that supports DPOF or printing on a DPOF-
compatible printer
Store the print reservation data on the card. Print reservation allows you to
save printing data (number of prints, date/time information, etc.) with the
pictures stored on the card.
● What is DPOF?
DPOF is short for Digital Print Order Format. DPOF is the format used to
record automatic print information from digital cameras.
If a card containing print reservation data is taken to a photo lab that
supports the DPOF format, the pictures can be printed according to the
DPOF reservations. Or pictures can be printed out at home on a personal
DPOF-compatible printer.
ⅷPrinting on an Olympus P-400, or P-200 digital color printer
Printing is possible on specified printers without using a PC. For more
details, refer to the printer's instruction manual.
An xD-Picture Card cannot be inserted into the printer without a specified
card adapter (sold separately).
7
ⅷTransferring pictures to a PC and printing them from a printer
connected to the PC
If your PC has software applications installed that support JPEG images
(Internet browser, Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop, etc.), you can print out your
pictures on a printer connected to the PC. (Printing is also possible using
CAMEDIA Master software.) Check your software before printing. For
details, refer to the application software's instructions.
For instructions on how to transfer images, or connect the camera to a PC,
see “DIGITAL CAMERA-PC CONNECTION OPERATION MANUAL” on the
CD-ROM.

How to print pictures
TIPS
• JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
A compression format for color still images. Photographs (images)
shot using this camera are recorded onto the card in JPEG format
when the record mode is set to SHQ, HQ or SQ. By downloading
these images to a personal computer, users can edit them using
graphics application software or view the images using an Internet
web browser.
• Picture size and printing
The resolution of a computer/printer is generally based on the
number of dots (pixel) per inch. This is called dpi (dots per inch).
The higher the dpi value, the better the printed results. Keep in
mind, however, that the dpi of the picture does not change. This
means that when you print an image with a higher resolution, the
size of the printed picture will be smaller. Although you can print
magnified images, picture quality will decrease.
If you want to print large, high-quality pictures, set the record mode
as high as possible when taking the pictures. ~ “Changing the
record mode” (P. 59)
• DPOF reservations set by another device cannot be changed by
this camera. Make changes using the original device.
• If a card contains DPOF reservations set by another device,
entering reservations using this camera may overwrite the previous
reservations.
7
Note
• DPOF reservations can be performed for only the first 999 frames
on a card.
• If the card is full, print reservation is not available. "CARD FULL" is
displayed.
• Even if an image appears with the message “PICTURE ERROR”, it
may be possible to make print reservations. In such a case, the
print reservation icon ( ) does not appear when an image is
displayed for full view.
appears when multiple images are
displayed (index-display mode), allowing you to confirm the print
reservation.
• Not all functions may be available on all printers or at all photo labs.
• Print reservation may take considerable time when saving printing
data to a card.

•
When connecting the camera to the computer, make sure that there is
sufficient remaining battery power. When connected (transmitting) to the
computer, the camera does not enter the sleep mode nor will the camera’s
power turn off automatically. Depending on the camera model, when the
battery power runs out or the internal temperature rises, the camera may
stop operating automatically. This could cause the computer to
malfunction, and any image data (file) being transmitted may be lost. Be
careful when downloading files for a long period of time. Use the AC
adapter (optional) when downloading files.
•
If you connect or disconnect the AC adapter when the camera is connected
to the computer and is running on battery power, it may result in the loss of
image data on the card or cause a malfunction in the computer. Before
connecting or disconnecting the AC adapter, disconnect the camera from
the computer and make sure that the camera is turned off.
•
•
To avoid computer malfunctions, do not turn off the camera when the
camera is connected to a computer.
If the camera is connected to the computer via a USB hub, operation may
not be stable if there are any compatibility problems between the computer
and the hub. In such cases, do not use the hub and connect the camera
directly to the computer.
•
You can view images using: graphics applications that support the JPEG
file format (Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop, etc.); Internet browsers (Netscape
Communicator, Microsoft Internet Explorer, etc.); CAMEDIA Master
software; or other software. For details on using commercial graphics
applications, refer to their instruction manuals.
•
•
QuickTime is needed for playing back movies. QuickTime is included on
the provided software CD.
If you want to process images, make sure to download them to your
computer first. Depending on the software, image files may be destroyed if
the images are processed (rotated, etc.) while they are on the card.
