Usage Tips

If the camera does not work as intended, or if an error message is displayed on the screen, and you are unsure of what to do, refer to the information below to fix the problem(s).

Troubleshooting

Battery

"The camera does not work even when batteries are installed".

- Insert new or recharged batteries in the correct direction.

"Inserting the battery" (p. 11)

- Battery performance may have been reduced temporarily due to low temperature. Take the batteries out of the camera, and warm them by putting them in your pocket for a while.

Card/Internal memory

"An error message is displayed".

"Error message" (p. 55)

Shutter button

"No picture is taken when the shutter button is pressed".

- Cancel sleep mode.

To save battery power, the camera automatically goes into sleep mode and the monitor turns off if there is no operation for 3 minutes when the camera is turned on. No picture is taken even if the shutter button is fully pressed in this mode. Operate the zoom lever or other buttons to restore the camera from sleep mode before taking a picture. If the camera is left for another 12 minutes, it automatically turns off. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the camera on.

- Press the ▶ button to switch to the shooting mode.

- Wait until ⬆(flash charge) stops blinking before taking pictures.

- With prolonged camera use, the internal temperature may increase, resulting in automatic shutdown. If this occurs, remove the battery from the camera and wait until the camera has sufficiently cooled. The camera's external temperature may also increase during use, however this is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

Monitor

"Diffi cult 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.

"Vertical lines appear on the screen".

- Vertical lines may be visible in the monitor when the camera is pointed at very bright subjects under clear skies or similar conditions, but they will not appear in the final image unless [Hi 2] is selected.

"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".

- If the batteries are removed and left out of the camera for about 3 days ^1 , the date and time settings return to the default setting, and must be reset.

*1 The time until the date and time settings return to the default setting varies depending on how long the batteries have been loaded.

"Date, time, time zone, and language" (p. 14)

Miscellaneous

"The camera makes a noise when taking pictures".

- The camera may activate the lens and make a noise even if no operation is performed. This is because the camera automatically performs actions of auto focus as far as it is ready to shoot.

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 screen

After focusing on an object at the same distance as the subject, compose the shot, and take the picture.

Pressing the shutter button halfway (p. 17)

• Set [AF Mode] (p. 35) to [Face/iESP]
  • Taking a picture in [AF Tracking] mode (p. 35)

The camera tracks the subject movement automatically to focus on it continuously.

• Taking a picture of subjects where autofocus is diffi cult

In the following cases, after focusing on an object (by pressing the shutter button halfway down) with high contrast at the same distance as the subject, compose the shot, and take the picture.

Subjects with low contrast

When extremely bright objects appear in the center of the screen

Object with no vertical lines ^4

^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

Fast-moving object

The subject is not in the center of the frame

Camera shake

"Taking pictures without camera shake"

• Taking pictures using [Image Stabilizer] (p. 36)

The image pickup device shifts to correct for camera shake even if the ISO sensitivity is not increased. This function is also effective when taking pictures at a high zoom magnifi cation.

- Shooting movies using [IS Movie Mode] (p. 36)

- Select [Sport] in the scene mode (p. 23)

The [ Sport] mode uses a fast shutter speed and can reduce the blur incurred by a moving subject.

• Taking pictures at a high ISO sensitivity

If a high ISO sensitivity is selected, pictures can be taken at a high shutter speed even at locations where a flash cannot be used.

"Selecting the ISO sensitivity" (p. 30)

Exposure (brightness)

"Taking pictures with the right brightness"

• Taking pictures of a subject against a backlight

Faces or backgrounds are bright even when shot against backlight.

[Shadow Adjust] (p. 35)

• Taking pictures using [Face/iESP] (p. 35)

Appropriate exposure is obtained for a face against backlight, and the face is brightened.

- Taking pictures using [☐] for [ESP/☐] (p. 35)

Brightness is matched with a subject in the center of the screen and the image is not affected by background light.

• Taking pictures using [Fill In] (p. 18) flash

A subject against backlight is brightened.

• Taking pictures of a white beach or snow scene

Set the mode to [Beach & Snow] (p. 23)

- Taking pictures using exposure compensation (p. 29)

Adjust the brightness while viewing the screen for taking the picture. Normally, taking pictures of white subjects (such as snow) results in images that are darker than the actual subject. Use the exposure compensation to adjust in the positive (+) direction to express whites as they appear. When taking pictures of black subjects, on the other hand, it is effective to adjust in the negative (-) direction.

Color hue

"Taking pictures with colors at the same shade as they appear"

- Taking pictures by selecting white balance (p. 29)

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"

• Taking pictures with the optical zoom

Avoid using digital zoom (p. 36) to take pictures.

• Taking pictures at a low ISO sensitivity

If the picture is taken with a high ISO sensitivity, noise (small colored spots and color unevenness that were not in the original image) can occur, and the image can appear grainy.

"Selecting the ISO sensitivity" (p. 30)

Panorama

"Taking pictures so that the frames are stitched smoothly"

• A tip for panoramic shooting

Taking pictures by pivoting with the camera at the center prevents shifting of the image. When taking pictures of close objects in particular, pivoting with the lens end at the center produces favorable results.

"Creating panoramic images (mode)" (p. 25)

Batteries

"Making batteries last longer"

- Avoid any of the following operations when not actually taking pictures because they deplete the battery power

• Repeatedly pressing the shutter button halfway.
  • Repeatedly using the zoom.

• Set [Power Save] (p. 47) to [On]

Playback/Editing tips

Playback

"Playing images in the internal memory and card"

- Remove the card and display the images in internal memory

- "Inserting the battery" (p. 11), "Inserting an SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card or Eye-Fi card (commercially available)" (p. 15)

"Viewing images with high picture quality on a high-defi nition TV"

• Connect the camera to the TV using an HDMI cable (sold separately)
  • "To play back camera images on a TV" (p. 46)

Editing

"Erasing the sound recorded to a still image"

- Record over the sound with silence when playing back the image

"Adding sound to still images [ψ]" (p. 39)

Appendix

• Do not use the flash and LED (including AF illuminator) on people (infants, small children, etc.) at close range.

- You must be at least 1 m (3 ft.) away from the faces of your subjects. Firing the flash too close to the subject's eyes could cause a momentary loss of vision.

- Keep young children and infants away from the camera.

• Always use and store the camera out of the reach of young children and infants to prevent the following dangerous situations which could cause serious injury:

• Becoming entangled in the camera strap, causing strangulation.
• Accidentally swallowing the battery, cards or other small parts.
• Accidentally firing the flash into their own eyes or those of another child.
• Accidentally being injured by the moving parts of the camera.

EN

• Do not look at the sun or strong lights with the camera.
• Do not use or store the camera in dusty or humid places.
• Do not cover the flash with a hand while firing.
• Use SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards or Eye-Fi cards only. Never use other types of cards.

If you accidentally insert another type of card into the camera, contact an authorized distributor or service center. Do not try to remove the card by force.

CAUTION

• Stop using the camera immediately if you notice any unusual odors, noise, or smoke around it.
• Never remove the batteries with bare hands, which may cause a fire or burn your hands.
• Never hold or operate the camera with wet hands.
• Do not leave the camera in places where it may be subject to extremely high temperatures.
• Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate and, in some circumstances, cause the camera to catch fi re. Do not use the charger or USB-AC adapter (sold separately) if it is covered (such as a blanket). This could cause overheating, resulting in fi re.

• Handle the camera with care to avoid getting a low-temperature burn.

• When the camera contains metal parts, overheating can result in a low-temperature burn. Pay attention to the following:

• When used for a long period, the camera will get hot. If you hold on to the camera in this state, a low-temperature burn may be caused.
• In places subject to extremely cold temperatures, the temperature of the camera's body may be lower than the environmental temperature. If possible, wear gloves when handling the camera in cold temperatures.
• Be careful with the strap.

• Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera. It could easily catch on stray objects and cause serious damage.

• 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 attaching the camera to or removing it from a tripod, rotate the tripod screw, not the camera.
• Before transporting the camera, remove a tripod and all other non-OLYMPUS accessories.
• 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 image pickup device, 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. 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 button to make sure that it is operating normally.

• The camera may malfunction if it is used in a location where it is subject to a magnetic/electromagnetic fi eld, radio waves, or high voltage, such as near a TV set, microwave, video game, loud speakers, large monitor unit, TV/radio tower, or transmission towers. In such cases, turn the camera off and on again before further operation.

Use Only Dedicated Rechargeable Battery, Battery Charger and USB-AC adapter

We strongly recommend that you use only the genuine Olympus dedicated rechargeable battery, battery charger and USB-AC adapter with this camera. Using a non-genuine rechargeable battery, battery charger and/or USB-AC adapter may result in fi re or personal injury due to leakage, heating, ignition or damage to the battery. Olympus does not assume any liability for accidents or damage that may result from the use of a battery, battery charger and/or USB-AC adapter that are not genuine Olympus accessories.

Monitor

- Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise the image may become vague, resulting in a playback 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 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. The monitor exhibiting poor performance due to low temperatures will recover in normal temperatures.
• The monitor of this product is manufactured with high-quality accuracy, however, there may be a stuck or dead pixel on the monitor. These pixels do not have any influence on the image to be saved. Because of the characteristics, the unevenness of the color or brightness may also be found depending on the angle, but this is due to the structure of the monitor. This is not a malfunction.
