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.]: "Customizing camera settings" (P. 81)

■ Wireless flash control range

Position the wireless flash units with their remote sensors facing the camera. The illustration on the right 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 can not 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 supplied flash by, for example, using a diffuser).

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. 15) 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 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 difficult 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].
  [3] "Customizing camera settings" (P. 81)

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. 9)

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

In modes other than P, A, S, and M, default settings are restored when another shooting mode is selected or the camera is turned off.

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. 100)

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. 98)

Functions that cannot be selected from menus

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

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 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.

• 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.
- If the battery's terminals get wet or greasy, camera contact failure may result. Wipe the battery well with a dry cloth before use.
- Always charge a battery when using it for the first time, or if it has not been used for a long period.
- When operating the camera with battery power at low temperatures, try to keep the camera and spare battery as warm as possible. A battery that has run down at low temperatures may be restored after it is warmed at room temperature.
- The number of pictures you can take may vary depending on the shooting conditions or battery.
- Before going on a long trip, and especially before traveling abroad, purchase extra batteries. A recommended battery may be difficult to obtain while traveling.
- When the camera will not be used for an extended period, store it in a cool place.
- Please recycle batteries to help save our planet's resources. When you throw away dead batteries, be sure to cover their terminals and always observe local laws and regulations.

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.
  The operating temperature range is -10^ - 40^ (14^ - 104^) . Always use within this temperature range.
