MISCELLANEOUS OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA 6
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Q How long will the batteries last? A Battery life is affected by many variables such as the amount of LCD monitor use, the frequency of flash use, as well as by the kind of battery used and the environmental conditions under which the camera is used. Using the LCD monitor frequently will use up your batteries quickly. Keep the LCD monitor turned off to save power. Use of the optional AC adapter is recommended.
Q Why do the subjects’ eyes sometimes appear red in pictures? A This “red-eye phenomenon” occurs with all cameras when a flash is used. It is caused by light from the flash reflecting off the retina at the back of the eye. Red-eye varies depending on the individual and the shooting conditions such as ambient lighting. Use of the Red-Eye Reducing PreFlash mode significantly reduces this phenomenon. (P. 54) Q Can I use a filter or hood? A Olympus does not provide one.
