Displayed during recording
Recording time

Cautions

• When using a camera with a CMOS image sensor, moving objects may appear distorted due to the rolling shutter phenomenon. This is a physical phenomenon whereby distortion occurs in the filmed image when shooting a fast-moving subject or due to camera shaking. In particular, this phenomenon becomes more noticeable when using a long focal length.
• If the camera is used for extended periods, the temperature of the image pickup device will rise and noise and colored fog may appear in images. Turn off the camera for a short time. Noise and colored fog may also appear in images recorded at high ISO sensitivity settings. If the temperature rises further, the camera will turn off automatically.

Taking photographs during movie recording

• Press the shutter button during movie recording to pause movie recording and take a photograph. Movie recording restarts after the photograph is taken. Press the button to end recording. Three files will be recorded to the memory card: the movie footage preceding the photograph, the photograph itself, and the movie footage following the photograph.
• Only one photograph can be taken at a time during movie recording; the self-timer and flash cannot be used.

Cautions

• Image size and quality for photographs are independent of movie frame size.
• The autofocus and metering used in movie mode may differ from that used to take photographs.
• The button cannot be used to record movies in the following instances: Multiple exposure (still photography also ends.)/shutter button pressed halfway/during bulb or time photography/sequential shooting/Panorama/3D/time lapse shooting

Switching the information display

You can switch the information displayed in the monitor during shooting using the INFO button.

Histogram display

Display a histogram showing the distribution of brightness in the image. The horizontal axis gives the brightness, the vertical axis the number of pixels of each brightness in the image. Areas above the upper limit at shooting are displayed in red, those below the lower limit in blue, and the area metered using spot metering in green.

Level gauge display

Indicate the orientation of the camera. The "tilt" direction is indicated on the vertical bar and the "horizon" direction on the horizontal bar. Use the indicators on the level gauge as a guide.

Using the shooting modes

"Point-and-shoot" photography (P program mode)

In mode P, the camera automatically adjusts shutter speed and aperture in response to subject brightness. Set the mode dial to P.

• The functions you can set with the dials depend on the position of the lever.

Dial	Position of the lever
	1	2
	Exposure compensation	ISO
	Program shift	White balance

• The shutter speed and aperture selected by the camera are displayed.
• The shutter speed and aperture displays flash if the camera is unable to achieve optimal exposure.

Warning display example (blinking)	Status	Action
60° F2.8	The subject is too dark.	Use the flash.
8000 F22	The subject is too bright.	The metered range of the camera is exceeded. A commercially available ND filter (for adjusting the amount of light) is required.

• The aperture value at the moment when its indication blinks varies with the lens type and focal length of the lens.
• When using a fixed [ISO] setting, change the setting. [ISO] (P. 45)

Program shift (Ps)

In P and ART modes, you can choose different combinations of aperture value and shutter speed without altering exposure. "s" appears next to the shooting mode during program shift. To cancel program shift, turn the dial until "s" is no longer displayed.

Cautions

• Program shift is not available when you are using a flash.

Program shift

Choosing aperture (A aperture-priority mode)

In mode A, you choose the aperture and let the camera automatically adjust shutter speed for optimal exposure. Rotate the mode dial to A.

Dial	Position of the lever
	1	2
	Exposure compensation	ISO
	Aperture value	White balance

• Larger apertures (lower F-numbers) decrease depth of field (the area in front of or behind the focus point that appears to be in focus), softening background details. Smaller apertures (higher F-numbers) increase depth of field.

Setting the aperture value

Reducing aperture value

Increasing aperture value

F2←F3.5←F5.6→F8.0→F16

• The shutter speed display will blink if the camera is unable to achieve optimal exposure.

• Shutter speed can be set to values between 1/8000 and 60 seconds or to [BULB] or [LIVE TIME].

Cautions

• Exposure compensation is not available in M mode.

Choosing when the exposure ends (bulb/time photography)

Use for night landscapes and fireworks. Shutter speeds of [BULB] and [LIVE TIME] are available in mode M.

Bulb photography (BULB): The shutter remains open while the shutter button is pressed. The exposure ends when the shutter button is released.

Time photography (TIME): The exposure begins when the shutter button is pressed all the way down. To end the exposure, press the shutter button all the way down again.

Cautions

• ISO sensitivity can be set to a value up to ISO 1600 for live bulb and live time photography.
• To reduce camera blur during long exposures, mount the camera on a tripod and use a remote cable (P. 123).
• The following features are not available during long exposures:

• Sequential shooting/self-timer shooting/AE bracket shooting/image stabilizer/flash bracketing/multiple exposure*

• An option other than [Off] is selected for [Live BULB] or [Live TIME].

Noise in images

While shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on screen. These phenomena occur when the temperature rises in the image pickup device or image pickup device internal drive circuit, causing current to be generated in those sections of the image pickup device that are not normally exposed to light. 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.] (P. 79)

Using movie mode (2)

Movie mode (品) can be used to film movies with special effects.

One-touch white balance

Measure white balance by framing a piece of paper or other white object under the lighting that will be used in the final photograph. This is useful when shooting a subject under natural light, as well as under various light sources with different color temperatures.

1 Select [Q] or [Q] (one-touch white balance 1 or 2) and press the INFO button.
2 Photograph a piece of colorless (white or gray) paper.

• Frame the object so that it fills the display and no shadows fall it.
• The one-touch white balance screen appears.

3 Select [Yes] and press 心

• The new value is saved as a preset white balance option.
• The new value is stored until one-touch white balance is measured again. Turning the power off does not erase the data.

Tips

• If the subject is too bright or too dark or visibly tinted, the message [WB NG Retry] will be displayed and no value will be recorded. Correct the problem and repeat the process from Step 1.

ISO sensitivity

Increasing ISO sensitivity increases noise (graininess) but allows photographs to be taken when lighting is poor. The setting recommended in most situations is [AUTO], which starts at ISO 200 — a value that balances noise and dynamic range — and then adjusts ISO sensitivity according to shooting conditions.

1 Set the lever to 2, and turn the sub-dial to select items.

AUTO	The sensitivity is set automatically according to the shooting conditions.
LOW, 200–25600	Sensitivity is set to the selected value.

Cautions

• The number of storable still pictures may change according to the subject, whether or not print reservations have been made, and other factors. In certain instances, the number of storable still pictures displayed on the monitor will not change even when you take pictures or erase stored images.
• The actual file size varies according to the subject.
• The maximum number of storable still pictures displayed on the monitor is 9999.
• For the available recording time for movies, see the Olympus website.

Choose a lens according to the scene and your creative intent. Use lenses designed exclusively for the Micro Four Thirds system and bearing the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL label or the symbol shown at right. With an adapter, you can also use Four Thirds System and OM System lenses.

Cautions

• 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.
• Attach the body cap to the camera to prevent dust from getting inside when no lens is attached.

Snapshot focus

With snapshot focus, a distance is set using the focus ring based on the shooting distance. The camera focuses over a depth of field corresponding to the set aperture value.

• We recommend setting the aperture to at least F5.6.
• You can shoot at the selected distance irrespective of the AF mode on the camera.

Cap lens control (BCL-1580)

Use the MF lever to open and close the lens barrier, and adjust the focus between infinity and close-up.

• There is no data communication between camera and lens.
• Some functions of the camera cannot be used.
• Set the focal distance to 15 mm for the image stabilization function.

Cautions

• Edges of pictures may be cut off if more than one filter is used or if a thick filter is used.

Electronic Viewfinder (VF-4)

The VF-4 electronic viewfinder switches on automatically when you look through it. While the viewfinder is on, the camera monitor display is switched off. You can select whether to automatically switch the display between the viewfinder and monitor using the menu settings. Note that menus and other settings information are still displayed on the camera monitor when the viewfinder is switched on.

Cautions

• In the following situations, the viewfinder may not switch off automatically.
  When in sleep mode/when shooting using movie, 3D, multiple exposure, live bulb, live time etc./when the shutter button is pressed halfway/when the monitor is pulled out
• The viewfinder may also fail to turn on automatically when viewed in certain situations, such as when wearing glasses, or under strong sunlight. Change to manual settings.

- Attaching and removing an electronic viewfinder

Remove the connector cover while pressing down on the lock release button, and then keep pressing into the camera hot shoe until it will go no further.

• To remove, turn off the camera, and remove while pressing down on the lock release button.

• Do not allow direct sunlight to pass into the viewfinder through the eyepiece lens.

External flash units designated for use with this camera

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.

The upper limit of the shutter speed is 1/250 sec. when using a flash.

Functions available with external flash units

• The focal length of the lens that can be used (Calculated based on 35 mm film camera).

Wireless remote control flash photography

External flash units that are designated for use with this camera and have a remote control mode can be used for wireless flash photography. The camera can separately control each of three groups of remote flash units, and the internal flash. See the instruction manuals provided with the external flash units for details.

1 Set the remote flash units to RC mode and place them as desired.

• Turn the external flash units on, press the MODE button, and select RC mode.
• Select a channel and group for each external flash unit.

2 Select [On] for [RC Mode] in 2 Shooting Menu 2 (P. 126).

• The LV super control panel switches to RC mode.
• You can choose an LV super control panel display by repeatedly pressing the INFO button.
• Select a flash mode (note that red-eye reduction is not available in RC mode).

3 Adjust the settings for each group in the LV super control panel.

Group

• Select the flash control mode and adjust the flash intensity separately for each group. For MANUAL, select the flash intensity.

Adjust settings for the camera flash unit.

Flash control mode

Normal flash/Super FP flash

• Switch between normal flash and Super FP flash.

Communication light level

• Set the communication light level to [HI], [MID], or [LO].

Channel

• Set the communication channel to the same channel used on the flash.

4 Press the flash switch to pop up the internal flash.

• After confirming that the built-in and remote flash units have charged, take a test shot.

Wireless flash control range

Position the wireless flash units with their remote sensors facing the camera. The following illustration shows the approximate ranges at which the flash units can be positioned. The actual control range varies with local conditions.

Cautions

• We recommend using a single group of up to three remote flash units.
• Remote flash units cannot be used for second curtain slow synchronization or anti-shock exposures longer than 4 seconds.
• If the subject is too close to the camera, the control flashes emitted by the supplied flash may affect exposure (this effect can be reduced by reducing the output of the internal flash by, for example, using a diffuser).
• The upper limit of flash synchronization timing is 1/160 sec. when using the flash in remote control mode.

Other external flash units

Note the following when using a third-party flash unit mounted on the camera hot shoe:

• Using obsolete flash units that apply currents of more than about 24V to the camera hot shoe X-contact will damage the camera.
• Connecting flash units with signal contacts that do not conform to Olympus specifications may damage the camera.
• Set the Shooting mode to M, set the shutter speed to a value no higher than flash synchronous speed, and set ISO sensitivity to a setting other than [AUTO].
• Flash control can only be performed by manually setting the flash to the ISO sensitivity and aperture values selected with the camera. Flash brightness can be adjusted by adjusting either ISO sensitivity or aperture.
• Use a flash with an angle of illumination suited to the lens. Angle of illumination is usually expressed using 35-mm format equivalent focal lengths.

Principal Accessories

Four Thirds lens adapter (MMF-2/MMF-3)

The camera requires a Four Thirds lens adapter to attach Four Thirds lenses. Some features, such as autofocus, may not be available.

Remote cable (RM-UC1)

Use when the slightest camera movement can result in blurred pictures, for example for macro or bulb photography. The remote cable attaches via the camera multi-connector.

Converter lenses

Converter lenses attach to the camera lens for quick and easy fish-eye or macro photography. See the OLYMPUS website for information on the lenses that can be used.

• Use the appropriate lens attachment for SCN mode (图, 图, or 图).

Macro arm light (MAL-1)

Use to illuminate subjects for macro photography, even at ranges at which vignetting would occur with the flash.

Microphone set (SEMA-1)

The microphone can be placed at a distance from the camera to avoid recording ambient sounds or wind noise. Third-party commercial microphones can also be used depending on your creative intent. We recommend that you use the supplied extension cord. (power supplied via 03.5mm stereo mini-plug)

Product Handling Precautions

WARNING

• Do not use the camera near flammable or explosive gases.
• Do not use the flash and LED 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, infants, and animals such as pets 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.

• 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.

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 fire.

Do not use the charger if it is covered (such as a blanket). This could cause overheating, resulting in fire.

• 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.

Battery Handling Precautions

Follow these important guidelines to prevent batteries from leaking, overheating, burning, exploding, or causing electrical shocks or burns.

DANGER

• The camera uses a lithium ion battery specified by Olympus. Charge the battery with the specified charger. Do not use any other chargers.
• Never heat or incinerate batteries.
  Take precautions when carrying or storing batteries to prevent them from coming into contact with any metal objects such as jewelry, pins, fasteners, etc.
• 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.
• Should you notice that the charger is emitting smoke, heat, or an unusual noise or smell, immediately cease use and unplug the charger from the power outlet, and then contact an authorized distributor or service center.

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.

Precautions when using the wireless LAN function

WARNING

• Turn off the camera in hospitals and other locations where medical equipment is present.

The radio waves from the camera may adversely affect medical equipment, causing a malfunction that results in an accident.

• Turn off the camera when onboard aircraft.

Using wireless devices onboard may hinder safe operation of the aircraft.

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 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 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 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 field, 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.

Monitor

The display on the rear of the camera is an LCD monitor.

• In the unlikely event that the monitor breaks, do not put the liquid crystal in your mouth. Any of the material adhering to your hands, feet, or clothing should be rinsed off immediately.
• 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. An monitor exhibiting poor performance due to low temperatures will recover in normal temperatures.

• The monitor is made with high-precision technology. However, black spots or bright spots of light may appear constantly on the 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.
