Monitor Difficult to see. • Condensation 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. The light is caught in the picture. • Shooting with flash in dark situations results in an image with many flash reflections on dust in the air. Date and time function Date and time settings return to the default setting.

Shooting tips 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 monitor. g P. 12 After focusing on an object at the same distance as the subject, compose the shot, and take the picture. • Set [AF Mode] to [Face/iESP]. g P. 43 • Taking a picture in [AF Tracking] mode. g P. 43 The camera tracks the subject movement automatically to focus on it continuously.
Camera shake Taking pictures without camera shake. • Taking pictures using [Image Stabilizer]. g P. 44 The camera detects camera movement to reduce the blur even if the ISO sensitivity is not increased. This function is also effective when taking pictures at a high zoom magnification. • Shooting movies using [IS Movie Mode]. g P. 48 • Select [J Sport] in the scene mode. g P. 24 The [J 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. g P. 37 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.) Image quality Taking sharper pictures.

If you have used the camera at the beach, use a cloth soaked in clean water and well wrung. • Foreign materials may be attached to the camera when using the camera in conditions with foreign materials such as dirt, dust or sand.
Storage • When storing the camera for extended periods, remove the battery, adapter and card, and keep in a cool, dry place that is well ventilated. • Periodically insert the battery and test the camera functions. Avoid leaving the camera in places where chemical products are handled since this may result in corrosion. Using a separately sold USB-AC adapter The USB-AC adapter F-3AC (sold separately) can be used with this camera. Do not use any USB-AC adapter other than the dedicated one.
Using the card Cards compatible with this camera SD/SDHC/SDXC/Eye-Fi/FlashAir (with Wireless LAN function) card (commercially available) (for compatibility card details, visit the Olympus website.) • This camera can be used without a card by storing images in its internal memory. FlashAir/Eye-Fi card • “FlashAir” SD cards have built-in wireless LAN and cannot be formatted. Use the software supplied with the FlashAir card to format the card.
Checking the image saving location The memory indicator shows whether the internal memory or card is being used during shooting and playback. Current memory indicator v: Internal memory is being used w: Card is being used Even if [Memory Format]/[Format], [Erase], [Sel. Image], [All Erase], or [Erase Group] is performed, the data in the card is not completely erased. When disposing of the card, damage the card to prevent the disclosure of personal data.
Number of storable pictures (still images)/Recording length (movies) in the internal memory and cards The figures for the number of storable still pictures and recording length are approximate. The actual capacity varies with shooting conditions and the card used.
Increasing the number of pictures that can be taken Either erase unwanted images, or connect the camera to a computer or other device to save the images, and then erase the images in the internal memory or card. [Erase] (P. 16, 55), [Sel. Image], [All Erase], [Erase Group] (P. 55), [Memory Format]/ [Format] (P.
Important information about water and shock resistant features Water resistance: The waterproof feature is warranted*1 to operate at depths up to 10 m (32.8 feet) for up to one hour. The waterproof feature may be compromised if the camera is subject to substantial or excessive impact. • Do not push the monitor hard with it opened. Shock resistance: The anti-shock feature warrants*2 the operation of the camera against accidental impact incurred from everyday use of your digital compact camera.
After Use: • Be sure to wipe off any excess water or debris after using the camera under water. • After the camera is used under seawater, immerse the camera in a bucket containing fresh water for about 10 minutes (with the battery/ card compartment/connector cover firmly closed). Do not leave the camera without cleaning for more than 60 minutes. This will cause damage to the camera’s appearance and/or deteriorate water resistance.
