Selecting the ISO sensitivity
Abbreviation for the International

standards specify the sensitivity for digital

In the ISO setting, although smaller values
result in less sensitivity, sharp images can
be taken under fully lit conditions. Larger
values result in higher sensitivity, and
images can be taken at fast shutter speeds
even under low light conditions. However,
high sensitivity introduces noise into the
resulting picture, which may give it a grainy
appearance.

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 fi x the problem(s).
Troubleshooting
Battery
“The camera does not work even when
batteries are installed”.
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)
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.
Card/Internal memory
“An error message is displayed”.
“Error message” (p. 43)
Shutter button
“No picture is taken when the shutter
button is pressed”.
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.
Press the q button to switch to the shooting
mode.
Wait until #(fl ash charge) stops blinking before
taking pictures.

●
●
Monitor
“Diffi cult 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.
*1 Dew drops can form in the camera when it is
suddenly taken from a cold location into a warm,
humid room.
“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 fi nal image.
“The light is caught in the picture”.
Shooting with fl ash in dark situations results in
an image with many fl ash refl ections on dust in
the air.
Date and time function
“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.
*2 The time until the date and time settings return
to the default setting varies depending on how
long the batteries have been loaded.
“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.

When you are unsure of how to take a picture
that you envision, refer to the information below.
Focusing
“Focusing on the subject”
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.
Pressing the shutter button halfway (p. 14)
Set [AF MODE] (p. 28) to [FACE/iESP]
Taking a picture in [AF TRACKING] mode
(p. 28)
The camera tracks the subject movement
automatically to focus on it continuously.
Taking a picture of subjects where autofocus
is diffi cult
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.
Subjects with low contrast
When extremely bright objects
appear in the center of the
screen
Object with no vertical lines*1
*1 It is also effective to compose the shot by holding the
camera vertically to focus, and then returning to the

(p. 28) (FE-4040)
Select C (SPORT) in s mode (p. 20)
The C (SPORT) mode uses a fast shutter speed
and can reduce the blur incurred by a moving
subject.
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 fl ash cannot be used.
“Selecting the ISO sensitivity” (p. 25)
Exposure (brightness)
“Taking pictures with the right
brightness”
Taking pictures using [FILL IN] (p. 23) fl ash
A subject against backlight is brightened.
Taking pictures using exposure compensation
(p. 24)
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.

“Taking pictures with colors at the same
shade as they appear”
Taking pictures by selecting white balance
(p. 25)
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
artifi cial light settings, and so on.)
Image quality
“Taking sharper pictures”
Taking pictures with the optical zoom
Avoid using digital zoom (p. 16) to take pictures.
Taking pictures at a low ISO sensitivity
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.

Battery and AC adapter
(included)
This camera uses one Olympus lithium ion
battery (LI-70B). No other type of batteries can
be used.
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)
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.
The zoom is used repeatedly.
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.
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.
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.
For plug-in type AC adapter:
The included AC adapter is intended to be
correctly orientated in a vertical or fl oor mount
position.

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.
Using your AC adapter abroad
The AC adapter can be used in most home
electrical sources within the range of 100
V to 240 V 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 AC adapter may require
a plug adapter to match the wall outlet. For
details, ask at your local electrical shop or
travel agent.
Do not use travel voltage converters as they
could damage your AC adapter.

Using an SD/SDHC memory
card
A card (and internal memory) also corresponds
to the fi lm that records images in a fi lm 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
enable writing.

Battery Handling Precautions
This camera uses a lithium ion battery specifi ed by
Olympus. Do not use any other type of battery.
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 fi 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 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 diffi cult 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 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.
