Loading batteries
Selecting optional batteries or an AC adapter
In addition to the batteries provided, this camera can also use the following
types of batteries or AC adapter. Choose the power source best suited to
the situation.
CR-V3 lithium battery packs (Not rechargeable)
Because CR-V3 lithium battery packs have long lives, they are convenient
when traveling. Do not peel off their labels.
NiMH batteries (Rechargeable)
Olympus NiMH batteries are rechargeable and economical. If they are
often charged without first using all their power, the amount of time they
can be used will become gradually shorter.
AA (R6) alkaline batteries
When you need batteries in a hurry, you can use AA (R6) alkaline
batteries, which are easy to get anywhere. However, the number of
pictures that you can store and the length of time you can shoot may vary
greatly, depending on the battery manufacturer, shooting conditions, etc.
To save power, turn off the monitor whenever possible.
AC adapter
Be sure to use the specified AC adapter. An AC adapter is useful for time-
consuming tasks such as image downloads.
Use an AC adapter designed to operate on the AC voltage in the area the
camera is being used.
Consult your nearest Olympus dealer or service center for details.

Still picture shooting modes
PROGRAM AUTO (factory default setting)
Used for regular photography. The camera automatically makes settings
for natural color balance. Other functions, such as the flash mode, can be
adjusted manually.
Portrait shooting
Suitable for taking a portrait-style shot of a person. The camera
automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions.
Landscape shooting
Suitable for taking photos of landscapes and other outdoor scenes. The
camera automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions.
Night-Scene shooting
Suitable for taking photos of landscapes
and people in the evening or at night.
The camera sets a slower shutter speed
than is used in normal shooting. If you
take a picture of a street at night in any
other mode, the lack of brightness will
result in a dark picture with the
background underexposed and without
details. In this mode, the true appearance
of the street is captured. The camera
automatically sets the optimal shooting
conditions. We recommend that you set
the flash mode to AUTO.

Shooting basics
Using the flash
After the pre-flash, it takes about 1 second before the shutter is
released. Hold the camera firmly to avoid camera movement.
Effectiveness may be limited if the subject is not looking directly at
the pre-flashes, or if the shooting range is too far. Individual
physical characteristics may also limit effectiveness.
Note
Auto-flash (No indication)
The flash fires automatically in low light or backlight conditions.
To shoot a subject with backlight, position the AF target mark over the
subject.
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. This helps accustom the
subjects eyes to the bright light and minimizes the red-eye phenomenon.
The subject s eyes appear red.
The fill-in flash may not have the desired effect under excessively
bright light.
Note
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).
52
3
Shooting basics
Using the flash
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.
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 you want to shoot a natural-looking twilight or
night scene.

4 Advanced shooting
The macro mode allows you to shoot at a distance of 20 cm to 50 cm (0.7
ft. to 1.6 ft.) from your subject.
You can also shoot subjects which are at a distance of over 50 cm (1.6 ft.).
However, compared to shots between 20 cm and 50 cm, the camera may
take more time to focus on the subject.
With the macro mode
If you are close to a subject, the picture in the viewfinder is different
from the area that the camera actually records. (~P. 43)
For macro mode shooting, we recommend using the monitor.
If you use the flash in macro shooting, shadows may be
conspicuous and the correct exposure may not be achieved. Check
the recorded image on the monitor.

Selecting the metering area (Spot metering)
In a backlight situation, your subject may appear dark if the picture is taken
with the normal metering value (center-weighted average light metering). In
this case, by changing the metering area to the center of the viewfinder (spot
metering), a subject can be shot with optimal exposure regardless of the
background light.
OFF:
Meters light in the entire picture plane to obtain the optimum exposure.
ON (Spot Metering):
Meters light only in the center of the picture plane to obtain the appropriate
exposure for a subject in the center. (This area corresponds approximately
to the AF target mark section on the monitor.)

TIPS
• Resolution
The number of pixels (horizontal x vertical) used when saving an
image. If the image will be printed, higher resolutions (larger
numbers) are recommended so that the image will be clearer.
However, higher resolutions make the file size (amount of data)
larger, so the number of pictures that can be saved will be fewer.
• Pixels
A pixel is the smallest unit (dot) used to make up an image. Clear
large-sized printed images require millions of pixels.
Resolution and picture size on a computer screen
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 in 1024 768
resolution is the same size as the screen if you set the picture to
1 when the monitor setting is 1024 768. However, if the
monitor setting is over 1024 768 (such as 1280 1024), the
picture only takes up part of the screen.

4Take the picture.
In some situations, you may get better results when the exposure that the
camera sets is compensated (adjusted) manually. You can adjust the
exposure by selecting the exposure compensation value. After adjusting the
exposure, you can check the picture on the monitor.

Varying the image brightness (Exposure compensation)
If the flash is used, the image brightness (exposure) may differ from
the intended brightness.
Exposure compensation cannot correct the image if the
surroundings of the subject are extremely bright or dark.
TIPS
Often bright subjects (such as snow) will turn out darker than their
natural colors. Adjusting toward + makes these subjects closer to
their real shades. For the same reason, adjust toward when
shooting dark subjects.
