Noise in images

While shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on-screen. These phenomena are caused when current is generated in those sections of the image pickup device that are not normally exposed to light, resulting in a rise in temperature in the image pickup device or image pickup device drive circuit. This can also occur when shooting with a high ISO setting in a high-temperature environment. To reduce this noise, the camera activates the noise reduction function. [NOISE REDUCT.]:

Shooting tips and information

The camera does not turn on even when a battery is loaded

The battery is not fully charged

- Charge the battery with the charger.

The battery is temporarily unable to function because of the cold

- Battery performance drops at low temperatures. Remove the battery and warm it by putting it in your pocket for a while.

No picture is taken when the shutter button is pressed

The camera has turned off automatically

- The camera automatically enters sleep mode to reduce the drain on the battery if no operations are performed for a set period of time. 📋 [SLEEP] (P. 13) If no operations are performed for a set time (5 minutes) after the camera has entered sleep mode, the camera will turn off automatically.

The flash is charging

- On the LCD monitor, the ⏚ mark blinks when charging is in progress. Wait for the blinking to stop, then press the shutter button.

Unable to focus

- The camera can not focus on subjects that are too close to the camera or that are not suited to autofocus (the AF confirmation mark will blink in the monitor). Increase the distance to the subject or focus on a high contrast object at the same distance from the camera as your main subject, compose the shot, and shoot.

Subjects that are diffi cult to focus on

It may be difficult to focus with auto focus in the following situations.

AF confirmation mark is blinking. These subjects are not focused.

Subject with low contrast

Excessively bright light in center of frame

Subject containing no vertical lines

AF confirmation mark lights up but the subject is not focused.

Subjects at different distances

Fast-moving subject Subject not inside AF area

Noise reduction is activated

- When shooting night scenes, shutter speeds are slower and noise tends to appear in images. The camera activates the noise-reduction process after shooting at slow shutter speeds. During which, shooting is not allowed. You can set [NOISE REDUCT.] to [OFF]. “Custom menu” (P. 78)

The date and time has not been set

The camera is used with the settings at the time of purchase

- The date and time of the camera is not set when purchased. Set the date and time before using the camera. “Setting the date/time” (P. 7)

The battery has been removed from the camera

- The date and time settings will be returned to the factory default settings if the camera is left without the battery for approximately 1 day. The settings will be cancelled more quickly if the battery was only loaded in the camera for a short time before being removed. Before taking important pictures, check that the date and time settings are correct.

Set functions are restored to their factory default settings

When you rotate the mode dial or turn off the power in a shooting mode other than P, A, S, or M, functions with changes made to their settings are restored to the factory default settings.

Image taken appears whitish

This may occur when the picture is taken in backlight or semi-backlight conditions. This is due to a phenomenon called flare or ghosting. As far as possible, consider a composition where strong light source is not taken in the picture. Flare may occur even when a light source is not present in the picture. Use a lens hood to shade the lens from the light source. If a lens hood does not have effect, use your hand to shade the lens from the light. “Interchangeable lenses” (P. 98)

Unknown bright dot(s) appear on the subject in the picture taken

This may be due to stuck pixel(s) on the image pickup device. Perform [PIXEL MAPPING]. If the problem persists, repeat pixel mapping a few times. “Pixel mapping - Checking the image processing functions” (P. 96)

Functions that cannot be selected from menus

Some items may not be selectable from the menus when using the arrow pad.

• Items that cannot be set with the current shooting mode
• Items that cannot be set because of an item that has already been set: Combination of [☐] and [NOISE REDUCT.], etc.

Cleaning and storing the camera

Cleaning the camera

Turn off the camera and remove the battery before cleaning the camera.

Exterior:

- Wipe gently with a soft cloth. If the camera is very dirty, soak the cloth in mild soapy water and wring well. Wipe the camera with the damp cloth and then dry it with a dry cloth. If you have used the camera at the beach, use a cloth soaked in clean water and well wrung.

LCD monitor:

- Wipe gently with a soft cloth.

Lens:

- Blow dust off the lens with a commercially available blower. For the lens, wipe gently with a lens cleaning paper.

Storage

• When not using the camera for a prolonged period, remove the battery and card. Store the camera in a cool, dry place that is well ventilated.
• Insert the battery periodically and test the camera's functions.
• Remove dust and other foreign matter from the body and rear caps before attaching them.
• Attach the body cap to the camera to prevent dust from getting inside when no lens is attached. Be sure to replace the front and rear lens caps before putting the lens away.
• Clean the camera after use.
• Do not store with insect repellent.

Cleaning and checking the image pickup device

This camera incorporates a dust reduction function to keep dust from getting on the image pickup device and to remove any dust or dirt from the image pickup device surface with ultrasonic vibrations. The dust reduction function operates when the camera is turned on.

The dust reduction function operates at the same time as the pixel mapping, which checks the image pickup device and image processing circuitry. Since dust reduction is activated every time the camera's power is turned on, the camera should be held upright for the dust reduction function to be effective.

! Caution

• Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or alcohol, or a chemically treated cloth.
• Avoid storing the camera in places where chemicals are treated, in order to protect the camera from corrosion.
• Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left dirty.
• Check each part of the camera before use if it has not been used for a long time. Before taking important pictures, be sure to take a test shot and check that the camera works properly.

Pixel mapping - Checking the image processing functions

Battery and charger

• Use the single Olympus lithium-ion battery (BLS-5). Batteries other than genuine OLYMPUS BLS-5 batteries can not be used.
• The camera's power consumption varies widely with usage and other conditions.

• As the following consume a lot of power even without shooting, the battery will be drained quickly.

• Performing auto focus repeatedly by pressing the shutter button halfway in shooting mode.

• Displaying images on the LCD monitor for a prolonged period.
• When connected to a computer or printer.

- When using a drained battery, the camera may turn off without the low battery warning being displayed.

- The battery will not be fully charged at the time of purchase. Charge the battery using the provided charger (BCS-5) before use.

- The normal charging time using the provided charger is approximately 3 hours 30 minutes (estimated).

- Do not attempt to use chargers not specifically designated for use with the supplied battery, or to use batteries not specifically designated for use with the supplied charger.

! Caution

- There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with the incorrect battery type. Dispose of the used battery following the instructions. “Battery Handling Precautions” (P. 115)

Using your charger abroad

• The charger can be used in most home electrical sources within the range of 100 V to 240 V AC (50/60 Hz) around the world. However, depending on the country or area you are in, the AC wall outlet may be shaped differently and the charger may require a plug adapter to match the wall outlet. For details, ask at your local electrical shop or travel agent.
• Do not use commercially available travel adaptors as the charger may malfunction.

Interchangeable lenses

Choose a lens according to the scene and your creative intent. Use lenses designed exclusively for the Micro Four Thirds System, which bear the symbol shown at right. With an adapter, you can also use Four Thirds System and OM System lenses.

M.ZUIKO DIGITAL interchangeable lenses

This is an interchangeable lens specifically for use with the “Micro Four Thirds system” which is a smaller, thinner version of the “Four Thirds system”.

Micro Four Thirds System lenses

Cameras designed for the Micro Four Thirds System do away with the bulky mirror box and viewfinder found in ordinary single-lens reflex cameras, resulting in a camera body that is substantially more compact. Similarly, lens design is matched to the camera for a compact, light-weight photo system. One characteristic of Micro Four Thirds System lenses is that they can achieve magnifications equivalent to double those produced by 35 mm format cameras with lenses of the same focal length, producing high-power lenses that are light and compact. For example, a Micro Four Thirds System lens with a focal length of 14–42 mm is equivalent to a 35 mm format lens with a focal length of 28–84 mm. The aperture of a Micro Four Thirds System lens can also be made smaller than that of a 35 mm format lens, making it possible to achieve a lens with the same brightness (f-number) in a smaller package. The brighter the lens, the faster the shutter speeds that can be achieved under low-light conditions.

! Caution

• When you attach or remove the body cap and lens from the camera, keep the lens mount on the camera pointed downward. This helps prevent dust and other foreign matter from getting inside the camera.
• Do not remove the body cap or attach the lens in dusty places.
• Do not point the lens attached to the camera toward the sun. This may cause the camera to malfunction or even ignite due to the magnifying effect of sunlight focusing through the lens.
• Be careful not to lose the body cap and rear cap.

Flash range

Flash range can be calculated as shown below.

$$ \text { Flash range (m) } = \frac {\text { GN (ISO 200) } \times \text { ISO sensitivity factor }}{\text { Aperture (f - number) }} $$

GN (ISO200)

Depending on flash output, the Guide Number (GN) may be from 1.4 (minimum) to 10 (FULL).

ISO sensitivity factor

	ISO sensitivity (x)
	200 4	00 800	1600 32	00 6400
ISO sensitivity factor (K)	1.0 1	4 2.0 2	8 4.0 5	6

Aperture (f-number)

Aperture can be set to values between the maximum aperture for the lens and f/22. Check the maximum aperture for the lens.

Minimum range

The lens may cast shadows over objects close to the camera, causing vignetting, or be too bright even at minimum output.

Lens	Approximate distance at which vignetting occurs
14–42 mm 0.3	5 m
17 mm 0.25 m
40–150 mm 1.0 m
14 – 150 mm	Flash can not be used

- Use optional off-camera flash units to prevent vignetting. To prevent photographs from being overexposed, select mode A or M and choose a high f-number, or reduce ISO sensitivity.

External fl ash shooting

With this camera, you can use one of the separately sold external flash units to achieve a flash suited to your needs. The external flashes communicate with the camera, allowing you to control the camera's flash modes with various available flash control modes, such as TTL-AUTO and Super FP flash.

An external flash unit specified for use with this camera can be mounted on the camera by attaching it to the camera's hot shoe. You can also attach the flash to the flash bracket on the camera using the bracket cable (optional). Refer to the documentation provided with the external flash units as well.

- Never store batteries where they will be exposed to direct sunlight, or subjected to high temperatures in a hot vehicle, near a heat source, etc.

- To prevent causing battery leaks or damaging their terminals, carefully follow all instructions regarding the use of batteries. Never attempt to disassemble a battery or modify it in any way, by soldering, etc.

- If battery fluid gets into your eyes, flush your eyes immediately with clear, cold running water and seek medical attention immediately.

• Always store batteries out of the reach of small children. If a child accidentally swallows a battery, seek medical attention immediately.

WARNING

• Keep batteries dry at all times.
• To prevent batteries from leaking, overheating, or causing a fire or explosion, use only batteries recommended for use with this product.
• Insert the battery carefully as described in the operating instructions.

- If rechargeable batteries have not been recharged within the specified time, stop charging them and do not use them.

- Do not use a battery if it is cracked or broken.

- If a battery leaks, becomes discolored or deformed, or becomes abnormal in any other way during operation, stop using the camera.

- If a battery leaks fluid onto your clothing or skin, remove the clothing and flush the affected area with clean, running cold water immediately. If the fluid burns your skin, seek medical attention immediately.

- Never subject batteries to strong shocks or continuous vibration.

CAUTION

- Before loading, always inspect the battery carefully for leaks, discoloration, warping, or any other abnormality.

- The battery may become hot during prolonged use. To avoid minor burns, do not

remove it immediately after using the camera.

• Always unload the battery from the camera before storing the camera for a long period.
- This camera uses a lithium ion battery specified by Olympus. Do not use any other type of battery. For safe and proper use, read the battery's instruction manual carefully before using it.
- If the battery's terminals get wet or greasy, camera contact failure may result. Wipe the battery well with a dry cloth before use.

Caution for Usage Environment

- 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 humidifi ers.
  • In sandy or dusty environments.
• Near fl ammable 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 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 fi res.
• Do not touch electric contacts on cameras and interchangeable lenses. Remember to attach the body cap when removing 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.
• 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.
  • Always observe the operating environment restrictions described in the camera's manual.
• Do not directly touch or wipe the image pickup device of the camera.

LCD 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 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.

Lens

• Do not immerse in water or splash with water.
• Do not drop or exert strong force on the lens.
• Do not hold at the moving part of the lens.
• Do not touch the lens surface directly.
• Do not touch the contact points directly.
• Do not subject to abrupt temperature changes.
