Tips before you start

taking pictures

Your pictures are almost guaranteed to

come out well just by setting the mode dial

to h or P and pressing the shutter

button. But occasionally, you can’t focus on

your subject, or the subject is too dark, or

the picture doesn’t come out the way you

want…

Just knowing which button to press or which

setting to change can help you solve these

problems.

And did you know that by selecting an

image size according to how you plan to use

the pictures afterwards, you can store more

pictures on the memory card? These are

just some of the hints provided in this

chapter.

Tips before you start taking pictures

Holding the camera

Sometimes when you look at a picture you have taken, the contours of the

subject are blurred. This is often caused by movement of the camera at the

precise moment that the shutter button is pressed.

Picture where subject is not clearly defined

To prevent the camera from moving, hold the camera firmly with both

hands while keeping your elbows at your sides. When taking pictures

with the camera in the vertical position, hold the camera so that the flash

is positioned higher than the lens. Keep your fingers and the strap away

from the lens and flash.

Horizontal grip Vertical grip

Top view

Do not hold this part of the lens.

Holding the camera

Tips before you start taking pictures

(Features of the monitor and viewfinder

When to use the monitor and viewfinder

Monitor Viewfinder

Advantages

You can check the picture area

that the camera actually

records.

Camera movement does not

occur easily and subjects can be

seen clearly even in bright places.

Little battery power is used.

Disadvantages

Camera movement occurs easily

and subjects may be difficult to

see in bright/dark places. The

monitor uses more battery power

than the viewfinder.

When close to a subject, the

image in the viewfinder differs

slightly from the picture that the

camera actually records.

Tips

Use the monitor when you need to

know the exact area the camera

records, or to take a close-up of a

person or flower (macro shooting).

Use the viewfinder for general

snapshots, landscape pictures

and other casual shots.

Viewfinder

• The camera records a wider area than the image in the

viewfinder.

• As you get closer to the subject, the actual image recorded

(the shaded area in the illustration on the left) differs

slightly from the image in the viewfinder.

TIPS

To turn the monitor off and take pictures using the viewfinder

→In shooting mode, press Z to display the top menu, and press c. The monitor

turns off. Repeat the steps to turn the monitor on.

When the monitor turns off automatically

→If the camera is not used for over 3 minutes, the monitor turns off automatically.

To turn the monitor on, press # or the shutter button.

To adjust the brightness of the monitor

→Adjust the brightness with the [s] settings. g“Adjusting the brightness

of the monitor” (P. 89)

When the monitor is hard to see

→

Bright light, such as direct sunlight, may cause vertical lines (smears) to appear

on the image in the monitor. This does not affect recorded pictures.

Tips before you start taking pictures

If correct focus cannot be obtained

The camera automatically detects the focus target in the frame. The level

of contrast is one of the criteria it uses to detect the subject. The camera

may fail to determine subjects with lower contrast than the surroundings or

with an area of extremely strong contrast in the frame. If this happens, the

simplest solution is to use the focus lock.

1Position the AF target mark on

the subject you want to focus on.

• When shooting a hard-to-focus or fast-

moving subject, focus the camera on an

object about the same distance away as

the subject.

2Press the shutter button halfway

until the green lamp lights.

• When the focus and exposure are

locked, the green lamp lights.

• The AF target mark moves to the focus

position.

• When the green lamp blinks, the focus

and exposure are not locked. Release your finger from the shutter button,

re-position the AF target mark on the subject and press the shutter button

halfway again.

3Keeping the shutter button

pressed halfway, recompose

your shot.

4Press the shutter button fully.

Under certain types of conditions, the auto focus may not work properly.

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, then return the

camera to the horizontal position while keeping the button pressed halfway and take

the picture.

Tips before you start taking pictures

Record mode

You can select a record mode in which to take pictures or shoot movies.

Select the best record mode for your purpose (printing, editing on a

computer, website editing, etc.). For information on the image sizes for

each record mode and memory capacity, see the table on P. 28.

Record mode depicts the image size and compression rate of pictures you wish to

record.

Pictures are made from thousands of dots (pixels). If a picture with relatively few

pixels is enlarged, it looks like a mosaic. A picture with many pixels is denser and

clearer, but requires a larger file size (data size), decreasing the number of pictures

that can be saved. Increasing the compression rate reduces the file size, but makes

the pictures appear grainy.

Image size

The number of pixels (horizontal × vertical) used when saving an image. Save your

pictures in a large image size to get clearer prints.

Compression

Image data is compressed and recorded. The higher the compression, the less clear

the image will be.

TIPS

• When a picture is transferred to a computer, the size of the picture on the

computer screen varies depending on the computer’s monitor setting. For

instance, a picture taken with an image size of 1,024 × 768 fills the screen if

you set the picture to 1× when the monitor setting is 1,024 × 768. However, if

the monitor setting is over 1,024 × 768 (such as 1,280 × 1,024), the picture only

takes up part of the screen.

Tips before you start taking pictures

Recording pictures

Pictures taken are stored in the internal memory.

You can also use an optional xD-Picture Card (referred to as “card” in this

manual) to store pictures. The card has greater capacity than the internal

memory, and so is able to store more pictures. The card is convenient, for

example, when you are traveling and you want to take a lot of pictures.

(Internal memory basics

The internal memory corresponds to the film of a normal camera for recording

pictures you have taken.

Pictures recorded and stored in the internal memory can easily be erased,

overwritten, and/or edited on a computer. The internal memory cannot be replaced

or removed from the camera.

The monitor displays which memory (internal or card) is being used for shooting and

displaying images.

• The internal memory and the card cannot be used at the same time.

• When the card is inserted, the internal memory is disabled. When you want to use

the internal memory, remove the card.

• You can copy all the image data stored in the internal memory to a card.

Caution

unctions

A professional photographer adjusts the

exposure to the optimal setting, chooses the

best focusing method and even selects the

type of film according to the subject.

With a digital camera, you don’t need to

learn how to make difficult settings. Your

camera will adjust the settings for you! All

you have to do is choose a scene mode

according to whether you are taking a

landscape, a night scene, a portrait-style

image or whatever, and the camera will set

the best exposure and white balance.

There’s nothing to it – just press the shutter

button!

foreground and the background are in focus. Since blues and greens are vividly

reproduced in this mode, it is excellent for shooting natural scenery.

z Night Scene*

Suitable for shooting pictures in the evening or at night. The camera sets a slower

shutter speed than is used in normal shooting. For example, if you take a picture of

a street at night in P mode, the lack of brightness will result in a dark picture with

only dots of light. In the Night Scene shooting mode, the true appearance of the

street is captured. Since the shutter speed is slow, make sure that you stabilize the

camera by using a tripod.

j Sports

Suitable for capturing fast-moving action (such as sports) without blurring. Even fast-

moving subjects appear to be stationary.

Zooming in on a distant subject

You can zoom in on your subject using the optical zoom and digital zoom.

With the optical zoom, the image is enlarged on the CCD when the lens

magnification is changed, and the image is formed by all the CCD pixels.

With the digital zoom, the area at the center of the image captured by the

CCD is cropped and enlarged. When you zoom in on a subject, you are

essentially taking a small area of the picture and making it bigger.

Therefore, the greater the magnification with the digital zoom, the grainier

the resulting picture will be.

The following zoom magnifications are available on this camera.

Optical zoom 3× (equivalent to 38 mm to 114 mm on a 35 mm

camera)

Flash shooting

Select the flash mode best suited to the light conditions and the effect you

want to achieve.

T (max.): Approx. 0.6 m to 2.1 m (2.0 ft. to 6.9 ft.)

Auto-flash (No indication)

The flash fires automatically in low light or backlight conditions.

Red-eye reduction flash (!)

The light from the flash may make the

subject’s eyes appear red in the picture.

The red-eye reduction flash mode

reduces this phenomenon by emitting

pre-flashes before firing the regular flash.

Fill-in flash (#)

The flash fires regardless of the available light.

This mode is useful for eliminating shadows on

the subject’s face (such as shadows from tree

leaves), in a backlight situation, or for

correcting the color shift produced by artificial

lighting (especially fluorescent light).

Flash off ($)

The flash does not fire even in low light conditions. Use this mode in situations where

flash photography is not desired or is prohibited. You can also use this mode when

shooting landscapes, sunsets, and other subjects outside the range of the flash.

Note

• After the pre-flashes, it takes about 1 second before the shutter is released.

Hold the camera firmly, and prevent it from moving.

• Effectiveness may be limited if the subject is not looking directly at the pre-

flashes, or if the shooting subject is too far. Individual physical characteristics

may also limit effectiveness.

Note

• The fill-in flash may not have the desired effect under excessively bright light.

Note

• Since a slow shutter speed is automatically selected in low light situations when in

the flash off mode, the use of a tripod is recommended to prevent your pictures from

being blurred by camera movement.

Noise reduction

When shooting in dark places, shutter speeds become slower as there is

less light focused on the CCD. During long exposures, signals are

generated by parts of the CCD where no light is focused and are recorded

on the image as noise. When [NOISE REDUCTION] is set to [ON], the

camera automatically reduces the noise to produce clearer images.

The purpose of these pictures is to illustrate the effects of noise reduction. They are

not actual pictures.

Top menu [MODE MENU] [CAMERA] [NOISE REDUCTION]

g“How to use the menus” (P. 16)

1Select [ON] or [OFF], and press Z.

ON OFF

Noise is reduced. Shooting time is twice

as long as usual. Noise reduction is

enabled when the shutter speed is

slow.

Noise is not reduced. Noise may be

conspicuous with slow shutter speeds.

Note

• [NOISE REDUCTION] is always set to [ON] when the camera is set to z or

f ( * & ( , , , or )).

• When [NOISE REDUCTION] is set to [ON], the camera implements noise-

reducing processes after each shot to produce clearer images. However,

shooting time is approximately twice as long as usual. During this time, the next

shot cannot be taken. Also, the picture is larger than normal. Use the monitor

to view what you are taking.

• When [NOISE REDUCTION] is set to [ON], sequential shooting and two-in-one

pictures are not possible.

• This function may not work effectively with some shooting conditions or

subjects.

With film-type cameras, you cannot see the

pictures you have taken until the film has

been developed. And aren’t you sometimes

disappointed with the results when you do

eventually see them? Pictures of blurred

scenery or someone with their eyes shut. Or

maybe you took several pictures of the

same scene because you weren’t sure

whether they would come out or not. That’s

no way to record important memories!

With a digital camera, you can review your

pictures immediately.

Just play the picture back as soon as you’ve

taken it. If you don’t like what you see, erase

and take it again. So don’t be afraid of

pictures not coming out well – just keep on

pressing that shutter button!

Resetting the file name (FILE NAME)

The camera automatically creates file names and folder names for images

to be stored in. Files can be numbered from 0001 to 9999 and folders can

be numbered from 100 to 999. Examples are shown below.

There are two settings from which you can choose: [RESET] or [AUTO]. Choose the

one that is best for you when transferring images to a computer.

RESET The file number and folder number are reset every time a new card is

inserted in the camera. The folder number returns to No. 100 and the file

number returns to No. 0001. This method is useful when grouping files

on separate cards.

AUTO Even if a new card is inserted, the folder number and file number are

retained from the previous card, so the same file number is not used on

different cards. This helps you to manage multiple cards. This method is

useful when you want to manage all your files with sequential numbers.

store the print reservation data on the card

first. This lets you select the pictures you

want to print and decide how many prints

you want.

If you print the pictures at home, you can

either connect the camera directly to the

printer or you can connect the camera to a

instruction manual.

What is PictBridge?… It is the standard for connecting digital cameras and printers

of different manufacturers and printing out pictures directly.

STANDARD… All printers that support PictBridge have standard print settings. If

[STANDARD] is selected on the settings screens (P. 93 to P. 97), images are printed

according to these settings. Refer to the printer’s instruction manual for its standard

settings or contact the printer manufacturer.

Using the direct printing function

TIPS

• For details of printing paper types, ink cassettes, etc., refer to the printer’s

instruction manual.

Note

• You are recommended to use the optional AC adapter when printing pictures.

If you use batteries, make sure they have enough power. If the camera stops

operating while communicating with the printer, the printer may malfunction or

image data may be lost.

• Movies cannot be printed.

• The camera does not enter sleep mode when connected to the printer by the

USB cable.

Available printing modes, paper sizes etc., vary depending on the printer you

use. Refer to the instruction manual for your printer.

Print settings (DPOF)

Print reservation allows you to save printing data (the number of prints and the date/

time information) with the pictures stored on the card.

With print reservation, you can print out pictures easily either at home using a

personal DPOF-compatible printer or at a photo store that supports DPOF. DPOF is

a standard format used to record automatic print information from digital cameras.

You can print out pictures automatically, at home or at a photo store, by storing data,

such as which pictures you want to print and the number of prints, on the card.

Pictures with print reservations can be printed using the following procedures.

Printing using a DPOF-compatible photo store.

You can print the pictures using the print reservation data.

Printing using a DPOF-compatible printer.

Printing is possible directly from a card containing print reservation data without

using a computer. For more details, refer to the printer’s instruction manual. A

PC card adapter may also be necessary.

How to make print reservations

Only pictures stored on the card can be reserved to print. Insert a card with

recorded pictures into the camera before making print reservations.

Pictures stored in the internal memory cannot be printed at a photo store.

The pictures need to be copied to a card before taking them.

Printing pictures

TIPS

Relation between printing and record mode when shooting

The resolution of a computer/printer is generally based on the number of dots

(pixels) per inch (dpi). Increasing the dpi when printing a picture produces a

finer print. However, as the resolution of the picture is not changed, the size of

the print will be smaller. You can enlarge the size of the print, but the picture

will appear grainy.

If you want to print large, high-quality pictures, set the record mode as high as

possible when taking the pictures. g“Record mode” (P. 27)

Note

• DPOF reservations set by another device cannot be changed by this camera.

Make changes using the original device.

• If a card contains DPOF reservations set by another device, entering

reservations using this camera may overwrite the previous reservations.

• If there is not enough space in the card memory, you may not be able to enter

the reservation data. [CARD FULL] will be displayed.

• You can make DPOF print reservations for up to 999 images per card.

• Even if an image is displayed with the message [PICTURE ERROR], it may be

possible to make print reservations. In this case, the print reservation icon (<)

is not displayed when the image is displayed for full view. < is displayed when

there are multiple images (index display), allowing you to confirm the print

reservation.

• Not all functions may be available on all printers, or at all photo stores.

• Print reservation may take a little time when saving printing data to a card.

Safety Precautions

• To protect the high-precision technology contained in this product, never

leave the camera in the places listed below, no matter if in use or storage:

• Places where temperatures and/or humidity are high or go through

extreme changes. Direct sunlight, beaches, locked cars, or near other

heat sources (stove, radiator, etc.) or humidifiers.

• In sandy or dusty environments.

• Near flammable items or explosives.

• In wet places, such as bathrooms or in the rain. When using products with

weatherproof designs, read their manuals as well.

• In places prone to strong vibrations.

• 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 battery. Select a

cool, dry location for storage to prevent condensation or mold from forming

inside the camera. After storage, test the camera by turning it on and

pressing the shutter release button to make sure that it is operating normally.

• Always observe the operating environment restrictions described in the

camera’s manual.

• Olympus NiMH batteries (included in some areas) are intended for use only

with Olympus digital cameras. Never use these batteries with any other

device.

• Always charge NiMH batteries (included in some areas) before using them

for the first time, or if they have not been used for a long period.

• Always charge sets of batteries (included in some areas) (2 or 4) together.

• Do not use alkaline batteries unless it is absolutely necessary. In some

cases, alkaline batteries may have a shorter service life than NiMH or CR-

V3 lithium battery packs. Alkaline battery performance is limited, especially

at low temperatures. The use of NiMH batteries is recommended.

• AA manganese (Zinc-Carbon) batteries cannot be used with this camera.

• When operating the camera with battery power at low temperatures, try to

keep the camera and spare batteries as warm as possible. Batteries which

run down at low temperatures may be restored after they are warmed at

room temperature.

133

Appendix

• Recommended temperature ranges for NiMH batteries:

Operation ................. 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)

Charge ..................... 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)

Storage..................... -20°C to 30°C (-4°F to 86°F)

• Using, charging, or storing the batteries outside these ranges could shorten

battery life or affect battery performance. Always unload the batteries from

the camera before storing the camera for a long period.

• Before using NiMH or NiCd batteries, always read the provided instructions.

• The number of pictures you can take may vary depending on the shooting

conditions or batteries.

• Before going on a long trip, and especially before traveling abroad, purchase

an ample supply of extra batteries. The recommended batteries may be

difficult to obtain while traveling.

• Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise the image may become vague,

resulting in a Display 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.

• 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.

Appendix

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. On this camera,

light is picked up and converted into RGB signals to build a single image.

Contrast Detection Method

This is used to measure the distance to the subject. The camera determines if the

image is focused by the level of contrast in the subject.

Conventional Photograph

This refers to recording images using silver halide (the method for recording images

in conventional, non-digital photography). This system is in contrast to still video and

digital photography.

DCF (Design Rule for Camera File System)

A standard for image files by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology

Industries Association (JEITA).

Digital ESP Light Metering

This determines the exposure by metering and calculating the light levels in the

center and other areas of the image separately.

DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)

This is for saving desired print settings on digital cameras. By entering which images

to print and the number of copies of each, the user can easily have the desired

images printed by a printer or print lab that supports the DPOF format.

Eclipsing (Vignetting)

This refers to when an object obscures part of the field of view so that the whole

subject is not photographed. Eclipsing also refers to when the lens barrel obscures

part of the view seen through the viewfinder. In addition, eclipsing can occur when

an incorrect lens hood is used, causing shadowing to appear in the corners of the

image.

EV (Exposure Value)

A system for measuring exposure. EV0 is when the aperture is at F1 and the shutter

speed is 1 second. The EV then increases by 1 each time the aperture increases by

one F stop or the shutter speed increases by one increment. EV can also be used to

indicate brightness and ISO.

Exposure

The amount of light used to capture an image. The exposure is determined by the

time the shutter is open (shutter speed) and the amount of light that passes through

the lens (aperture).

Glossary of terms

137

Appendix

Image size

The size of an image expressed by the number of pixels that make up the image. For

instance, a picture taken with an image size of 640 × 480 fills the computer screen

when the monitor setting is 640 × 480. However, if the monitor setting is

1,024 × 768, the picture only takes up part of the screen.

ISO

A method for indicating film speed by the International Organization for

Standardization (ISO) (ex. “ISO100”). 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 (images) shot using this camera

are recorded in JPEG format. By downloading these images to a computer, users

can edit them using graphics application software or view the images using an

Internet web browser.

M (Manual) Mode

The user sets both the aperture and shutter speed.

NTSC (National Television Systems Committee) / PAL (Phase

Alternating Line)

Television formats. NTSC is mainly used in Japan, North America and Korea. PAL

is mainly used in Europe and China.

PictBridge

A standard for connecting digital cameras and printers of different makers and

printing out pictures directly.

Pixels

A pixel is the smallest unit (dot) used to make up an image. Clear large-sized printed

images require millions of pixels.

P (Program) Mode

Also called Program AE mode. The camera automatically sets the best shutter

speed and aperture for the shot.

Sleep Mode

A mode designed to save battery life. The camera automatically enters the sleep

mode if you do not operate it for a certain time. To exit the sleep mode, use any

button on the camera (shutter button, arrow pad, etc.).

TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) Color Monitor

A transistor color monitor constructed using thin-film technology.

TTL (Through-The-Lens) System

To help adjust exposure, a light receptor built into the camera directly measures the

light passing through the lens.
