Sensitivity is automatically adjusted according to the conditions of the  
subject.

800  
A low value lowers the sensitivity for daylight shooting of clear, sharp  
pictures. The higher the value, the better the camera’s light sensitivity  
and ability to shoot with a fast shutter speed and in low light conditions.  
However, high sensitivity introduces noise into the resulting picture,  
which may give it a grainy appearance.  
R (still picture) ...............................................................Recording sound with still pictures  
When activated [ON], the camera will record about 4 seconds of  
OFF /ON  
audio after the picture is taken.  
When recording, aim the camera microphone at the source of the  
sound you want to record.  
R (movie)................................................................ Recording movies with or without sound  
When [ON] (sound is recorded) is selected, the optical zoom

How to make print reservations  
Print reservations allow you to save printing data (the number of prints and the date and time  
information) with the pictures stored on the card.  
With print reservation, you can print out pictures easily either at home using a personal  
DPOF-compatible printer or at a photo store that supports DPOF. DPOF is a standard format  
used to record automatic print information from digital cameras.  
Only the images stored on the card can be reserved to print. Insert a card with recorded  
pictures into the camera before making print reservations.  
Pictures with print reservations can be printed using the following procedures:  
Printing using a DPOF-compatible photo store  
You can print pictures using the print reservation data.  
Printing using a DPOF-compatible printer  
Printing is possible directly from a card containing print reservation data, without using  
a computer. For more details, refer to the printer’s instruction manual. A PC card  
adapter may also be necessary.  
Note  
• 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.  
• You can make DPOF print reservations for up to 999 images per card.  
• Not all functions may be available on all printers or at all photo stores.

Shooting tips and information  
Tips before you start taking pictures  
The camera does not turn on even when a battery is loaded  
The battery is not charged  
• Charge the battery with the charger.  
The battery is temporarily unable to function because of the cold  
• Battery performance declines in low temperatures, and the charge may not be sufficient  
to turn on the camera. Remove the battery and warm it by putting it in your pocket for a  
while.  
The card cannot be used

and the [CARD SETUP] screen will be displayed. In this case, select [xD CARD CLEAN] and  
after pressing H, take out the card, and wipe the contact area with a soft, dry cloth.  
No picture is taken when the shutter button is pressed  
The camera is in 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 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 o to turn the camera  
on.  
The mode dial is in the position of R

Shooting tips  
Focusing on the subject  
There are several ways to focus, depending on the subject.  
When the subject is not in the center of the frame  
• Place the subject in the center of the frame, lock the focus on the subject, and then  
recompose your picture.  
g
“Shutter button Shooting pictures/movies” (P. 11)  
The subject is moving quickly  
• Focus the camera on a point roughly the same distance away as the subject you want to  
shoot (by pressing the shutter button halfway); and then recompose your picture and wait  
for the subject to enter the frame.  
Subjects that are difficult to focus on  
• Under certain types of conditions, it is difficult to focus using auto focus. The green lamp  
on the monitor lights, allowing you to check if the focus is locked.  
The green lamp  
blinks.  
The subject cannot be  
brought into focus.

contrast  
Subject with an  
extremely bright area

frame  
Subject without  
vertical lines  
The green lamp lights,  
but the subject cannot  
be brought into focus.  
Subjects at different  
distances  
Fast-moving subject  
The subject is not in  
the center of the frame  
In these cases, focus (focus lock) on an object with high contrast at the same distance as  
the intended subject, recompose your shot and then take the picture. If the subject has  
no vertical lines, hold the camera vertically and focus the camera using the focus lock  
function by pressing the shutter button halfway, and then return the camera to the  
horizontal position while keeping the button pressed halfway and take the picture.  
Taking pictures without blurring  
Hold the camera correctly and press the shutter button gently to shoot the picture. In  
addition, blurring is reduced when taking pictures in the h mode.  
g h Shooting pictures using digital image stabilization” (P. 12)  
The factors that can cause the picture to blur are as follows:  
• When you zoom at a high magnification to shoot the picture  
• When the shutter speed is set low to shoot a dark subject  
• When the flash cannot be used or a low shutter speed set shooting mode is selected.  
Taking pictures without the flash  
The flash fires automatically when insufficient light is available and may cause your image  
to be blurry.  
When taking pictures in low lights without the flash, set the flash mode to [$] (flash off).

The picture is too grainy  
There are several factors that can cause the picture to appear grainy.  
Using the digital zoom to take close-up pictures  
• With the digital zoom, part of the image is cropped and enlarged. The greater the  
magnification, the grainier the picture appears.  
Increasing the ISO sensitivity  
• When you increase the [ISO] setting, “noise”, which appears as spots of unwanted color  
or unevenness in the color, can be introduced and give the picture a grainy appearance.  
This camera is equipped with a function to allow shooting at high sensitivity while  
suppressing noise; however, increasing the ISO sensitivity can result in some noise,  
depending on the shooting conditions.  
g
“ISO Changing the ISO sensitivity” (P. 19)  
Taking pictures with the f mode set to M, W, S or X  
• When taking pictures of dark subjects using the above scene modes, the picture may  
appear grainy.  
g
f Shooting pictures by selecting a scene mode according to the situation” (P. 12)  
Taking pictures of a white beach or snow scene  
• Often, bright subjects (such as snow) turn out darker than their natural colors. Adjusting  
OF toward [+] makes the subject closer to their real shades. Conversely, when you are  
shooting dark subjects, it can be effective to adjust toward [–]. Sometimes, using the flash  
may not produce the brightness (exposure) that was intended.

Taking pictures of a subject against backlight  
• Set the flash to [#] (fill-in) to activate fill-in-flash. You can shoot a subject against backlight  
without the face of the subject appearing dark. [#] is effective not only for shooting against  
backlight, but also for shooting under fluorescent and other artificial lighting.

Additional shooting tips and information  
Increasing the number of pictures that can be taken  
There are two ways to record the pictures you take with this camera.  
Recording pictures to the internal memory  
• Pictures are recorded to the internal memory, and when the number of storable still  
pictures reaches 0, you connect the camera to a computer to download the pictures; and  
then erase the pictures from the internal memory.  
Using a card (xD-Picture Card) (optional)  
• Pictures are recorded to the card when inserted in the camera. When the card is full, you  
download the pictures to a computer and then either erase the pictures from the card or  
use a new card.  
• Pictures are not recorded to the internal memory when a card is inserted in the camera.  
Pictures in the internal memory can be copied to the card using the [BACKUP] function.

Battery Handling Precautions  
• This camera uses a lithium ion battery specified 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.  
• 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.  
LCD Monitor  
• Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise the image may become vague, resulting in a playback  
mode failure or damage to the LCD monitor.  
• 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.
