Glossary of terms Aperture The adjustable lens opening which controls the amount of light that enters the camera. The larger the aperture, the shorter the depth of field and the fuzzier the background. The smaller the aperture, the greater the depth of field and the sharper the background. Larger aperture values indicate smaller apertures, and smaller aperture values indicate larger apertures. CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) This converts light passing through the lens into electrical signals.
ISO A method for indicating film speed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) (ex.gISO100h). Higher ISO values indicate greater sensitivity to light, so images can be exposed even in low-light conditions. JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) A compression format for still images. Photographs (pictures) taken using this camera are recorded onto the card in JPEG format.
6 Miscellaneous 6 Miscellaneous Camera care Cleaning the camera Exterior: • Wipe gently with a soft cloth. If the camera is very dirty, soak the cloth in mild soapy water and wring well.

Safety Precautions Caution for Usage Environment 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.
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.
