40 EN 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/Recording 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. • Under certain types of conditions, it is difficult to focus using auto focus. 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. 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. 13) 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 f mode is selected. The flash fires automatically when insufficient light is available and may cause your image to be blurry.

EN 41 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. g “Zoom lever Zooming while shooting/Close-up playback” (P. 17) 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. 22) 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. 13) • The reason why there are sometimes differences between the actual colors and the colors recorded in a picture is related to the light source illuminating the subject. [WB] is the function that helps the camera determine the true colors. Normally, the [AUTO] setting provides the optimal white balance, but depending on the subject, results may be better if you manually adjust the [WB] setting. • When the subject is in the shade on a sunny day • When the subject is illuminated by both natural light and indoor lighting, such as when near a window • When there is no white in the center of the frame g “WB Adjusting the color of a picture” (P. 21) • 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. g “OF/< button Changing picture brightness (Exposure compensation)/ Printing pictures” (P. 15) • 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. g “Y# button Flash shooting” (P. 16) • Setting OF to [+] is effective when shooting against backlight. g “OF/< button Changing picture brightness (Exposure compensation)/ Printing pictures” (P. 15) • When [FACE DETECT] is set to [ON], faces in pictures appears bright, since adequate exposure for the detected face can be obtained even under backlight conditions. g “FACE DETECT Focusing on a face” (P. 23) The picture is too grainy Taking pictures with the correct color Taking pictures of a white beach or snow scene Taking pictures of a subject against backlight

Caution for Usage Environment

• 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. • 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. • Olympus makes no representations or warranties regarding any damages, or benefit expected by using this unit lawfully, or any request from a third person, which are caused by the inappropriate use of this product. • Olympus makes no representations or warranties regarding any damages or any benefit expected by using this unit lawfully which are caused by erasing picture data. • Olympus makes no representations or warranties, either expressed or implied, by or concerning any content of these written materials or software, and in no event shall be liable for any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose or for any consequential, incidental or indirect damages (including but not limited to damages for loss of business profits, business interruption and loss of business information) arising from the use or inability to use these written materials or software or equipment.
