Taking still pictures

Comparison of the viewfinder & monitor • The camera records a wider area than the image in the viewfinder. • As you get closer to the subject, the actual image recorded becomes lower than the one in the viewfinder (see left). Viewfinder Camera movement does not occur easily and subjects can be seen clearly even in bright places. Little battery power is used. When close to a subject, the image in the viewfinder is a little different from the picture that the camera actually records. Use the viewfinder for general snapshots (landscape pictures, casual shots, etc.). Monitor You can check the picture area that the camera actually records more accurately. Camera movement can occur easily and subjects may be difficult to see in bright/dark places. The monitor uses more battery power than the viewfinder. Use the monitor when you want to shoot while checking the picture area that the camera actually records, or to take close-up shots of people, flowers, etc. Advantages Disadvantages Tips

Using the flash

• After the pre-flash, it takes about 1 second before the shutter is released. Hold the camera firmly to avoid camera movement. • 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. Note �Auto-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. �Red-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. The subject’s eyes appear red. • The fill-in flash may not have the desired effect under excessively bright light. Note �Fill-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).

Using the flash

• 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. Note �Flash 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.

Macro mode shooting

4 Advanced shooting The macro mode allows you to shoot at a distance of 20 cm to 50 cm (0.7 ft. to 1.6 ft.) from your subject. 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 take more time to focus on the subject. With the macro mode • If you are close to a subject, the picture in the viewfinder is different from the area that the camera actually records. For macro mode shooting, we recommend using the monitor. • If you use the flash in macro shooting, shadows may be conspicuous and the correct exposure may not be achieved. Check the recorded image on the monitor. Note 1 Open the lens barrier fully. 2 In the shooting mode top menu, select MODE MENU T CAMERA T T ON, and press . ~ “How to use the mode menu” (P. 30) • Press again to exit the menu. 3 Take the picture while viewing the monitor.

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. 1 In the shooting mode top menu, select MODE MENU T CAMERA T T ON, and press . ~ “How to use the mode menu” (P. 30) • Press again to exit the menu. 2 Take the picture.

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 � 768 resolution is the same size as the screen if you set the picture to 1� when the monitor setting is 1024 � 768. However, if the monitor setting is over 1024 � 768 (such as 1280 � 1024), the picture only takes up part of the screen.

Varying the image brightness (Exposure compensation)

• If the flash is used, the image brightness (exposure) may differ from the intended brightness (exposure). • Exposure compensation cannot correct the image if the surroundings of the subject are extremely bright or dark. Note 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.

How to print pictures

7 Print settings Several different printing options are available when you want to print out pictures. �Printing 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. �Printing 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). �Transferring 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. • DPOF reservations can be performed for only the first 999 frames on a card. • If the card is full, print reservation is not available.
