Consult your nearest Olympus dealer or Service center for details. Loading the batteries This camera uses a CR-V3 lithium battery pack or 2 AA (R6) NiMH batteries, NiCd batteries, alkaline batteries or lithium batteries. Important: ● CR-V3 lithium battery packs cannot be charged. ● Do not peel the label on a CR-V3 lithium battery pack. If an insulating sheet covers the terminals, peel it off ONLY from the terminals. Make sure the camera is turned off (i.e. the lens barrier is closed and the monitor if turned off).
Press. 1 C-40ZBasic-E1 01.10.11 9:39 AM Page 1617 Inserting/ejecting the card Be sure to use a 3V (3.3 V) card. Non-Olympus 3 V (3.3 V) cards must be formatted with the camera. Do not use a 5 V card or a 2 MB card. Insert the card all the way with the contact area facing towards the lens side so that the label’s edge is aligned with the guideline ( É) printed on the camera. ● Insert the card while keeping it straight. Be sure not to insert it an angle. ● Note the orientation of the card. If it is inserted incorrectly, it may become jammed. ● If the card is not inserted fully, the card cover will not close. Closing the card cover forcibly will damage the card cover. Grasp the card and pull in straight out.

The camera sets optimal focusing and exposure. Suitable for simple shooting. Portrait shooting Suitable for shooting a portrait-style shot of a person. This mode features an in-focus subject against a blurred background. The camera automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions. Landscape-Portrait shooting For example, if you want to take a picture with a beautiful background, you will want to have both your subject and the background in focus. The camera automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions. Landscape-Scene shooting Suitable for taking pictures of landscapes and other outdoor scenes landscape. The camera focuses on a distant subject (tree, mountain, etc.) and the picture comes out clear. Since blues and greens are reproduced vividly in this mode, the Landscape-Scene mode is excellent for shooting natural scenery. The camera automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions. 1 C-40ZBasic-E1 01.10.11 9:39 AM Page 1920 SHOOTING BASICS (Cont.) Night Scene shooting Suitable for shooting pictures in the evening or at night. The camera sets a slower shutter speed than is used in normal shooting. For example, if you take a picture of a street at night in the mode, the lack of brightness will result in a dark picture with only the sparkle of lights such as street lamps appearing. In the Night Scene shooting mode, the true appearance of the street can be captured. The camera automatically selects the optimal settings for this type of shooting condition. Self-Portrait shooting Enables you to take a picture of yourself while holding the camera. Point the lens towards you and take a shot. The focus is locked on you (shooter). The camera automatically selects the optimal settings for this type of shooting condition. Zooming is not possible. Program shooting Allows you to take still pictures. The camera sets aperture and shutter speed. Other functions, such as flash modes and drive modes, can be adjusted manually. Aperture priority/Shutter priority/Manual shooting Allows you to set aperture and/or shutter speed manually. When the mode dial is set to A/S/M, the following items can be set with the menus: A (Aperture priority shooting) You set the aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed. S (Shutter priority shooting) You set the shutter speed and the camera sets the aperture. M (Manual shooting) You set both the aperture and shutter speed. My Mode Allows you to take still pictures. Your favorite settings can be saved in MY MODE SETUP (in the menu’s SETUP). Customized settings are activated when the power is turned on in the mode. The shortcut menu can also include different items than the shortcut menus in the P or A/S/M mode. Movie record Allows you to record movies. The camera sets the aperture and shutter speed automatically. Even if the subject moves during recording or the distance to the subject changes, correct focusing and exposure are maintained continuously. 1 C-40ZBasic-E1 01.10.11 9:39 AM Page 2021 Using the menu Shortcut menu The shortcut menu consists of the items other than MODE MENU on the Top menu. These can be replaced with your favorite items, but only when the mode dial is set to P, A/S/M or .
