Camera shake 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 horizontal position to take the picture. When objects are at different distances “Taking pictures without camera shake” ● Taking pictures using [Image Stabilizer] (p. 49) ● Using the C (Sport) option in SCN mode (p. 31) The C (Sport) mode uses a fast shutter speed and can reduce the blur incurred by a moving subject.
Color hue “Taking pictures with colors at the same shade as they appear” ● Taking pictures by selecting white balance (p. 40, 46) 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 artificial light settings, and so on.
Appendix Camera care The battery and USB-AC adapter Exterior • Wipe gently with a soft cloth. If the camera is very dirty, soak the cloth in mild soapy water and wring well. Wipe the camera with the damp cloth and then dry it with a dry cloth. If you have used the camera at the beach, use a cloth soaked in clean water and wrung well. • This camera uses one Olympus lithium ion battery (LI-50B). No other type of batteries can be used. Monitor • Wipe gently with a soft cloth.
Connecting the camera to a computer Using an SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card The battery can be charged by connecting the camera to a computer. A card (and internal memory) also corresponds to the film that records images in a film 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.
Using a new card Readout/recording process of the card Cards must be formatted with this camera before first use or after being used with other cameras or computers. [Memory Format]/[Format] (p. 57) During shooting, the media access icon blinks red while the camera is recording data. Never open the battery/card compartment cover or unplug the USB cable. This can not only damage the image data but also render the internal memory or card unusable.
Number of storable pictures (still images)/Continuous recording length (movies) in the internal memory and SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards The figures for the number of storable still pictures and continuous recording length are approximate. The actual capacity varies with shooting conditions and the card used.
Using an electronic view finder (sold separately) An electronic view finder (sold separately: VF-2) can be used as a shooting display. This is convenient when you are in a very bright location, such as under direct sunlight, where it is difficult to view the monitor, or are using the camera at a low angle. The electronic viewfinder attaches to the camera hot shoe and accessory port.
• Flash control can only be performed by manually setting the flash to the ISO sensitivity and aperture values selected with the camera. Flash brightness can be adjusted by adjusting either ISO sensitivity or aperture. • Use a flash with an angle of illumination suited to the lens. Angle of illumination is usually expressed using 35-mm format equivalent focal lengths.

• Never drop the camera or subject it to severe shocks or vibrations. • When mounted on a tripod, adjust the position of the camera with the tripod head. Do not twist the camera. • Do not touch electric contacts on cameras. • Do not leave the camera pointed directly at the sun. This may cause lens or shutter curtain damage, color failure, ghosting on the CCD, or may possibly cause fires. • Do not push or pull severely on the lens. • Before storing the camera for a long period, remove the batteries.
