How to make print reservations

Print reservation allows you to save printing data (the number of prints and the date and time information) with the pictures stored on the card.

With print reservation, you can print out pictures easily either at home using a personal DPOF-compatible printer or at a photo store that supports DPOF. DPOF is a standard format used to record automatic print information from digital cameras.

Only the images stored on the card can be reserved to print. Insert a card with recorded pictures into the camera before making print reservations.

Pictures with print reservations can be printed using the following procedures.

Printing using a DPOF-compatible photo store.

You can print the pictures using the print reservation data.

Printing using a DPOF-compatible printer.

Printing is possible directly from a card containing print reservation data, without using a computer. For more details, refer to the printer's instruction manual. A PC card adapter may also be necessary.

The battery has been pulled out of the camera

- The date and time settings will be returned to the factory default settings if the camera is left without battery for approximately 1 day. Also, the date and time setting will be canceled earlier than this if the battery has been in the camera for a short period of time. Before taking important pictures, check that the date and time settings are correct.

Focusing on the subject

There are several ways to focus, depending on the subject.

When the subject is not in the center of the frame

  • Place the subject in the center of the frame, lock the focus on the subject, and then recompose your picture.
  • Set [AF MODE] to [iESP].

“AF MODE Changing the focusing area” (P. 22)

The subject is moving quickly

- Focus the camera on a point roughly the same distance away as the subject you want to shoot and lock the focus (by pressing the shutter button halfway). Then recompose your picture and press the shutter button completely as the subject enters the frame.

Subjects that are difficult to focus on

- Under certain types of conditions, it is difficult to focus using auto focus. The green lamp on the monitor lights, allowing you to check if the focus is locked.

The green lamp blinks. The subject cannot be brought into focus.

OLYMPUS STYLUS 770 SW - Subjects that are difficult to focus on - 6
The subject is not in the center of the frame

In these cases, focus (focus lock) on an object with high contrast at the same distance as the intended subject, recompose your shot and then take the picture. If the subject has no vertical lines, hold the camera vertically and focus the camera using the focus lock function by pressing the shutter button halfway, and then return the camera to the horizontal position while keeping the button pressed halfway and take the picture.

Prevent blur by using image stabilization

Be sure to hold the camera firmly with both hands and press the shutter button slowly so as to avoid moving the camera. You can reduce the blurring when shooting the picture in (₹) mode.

“(《》) Shooting pictures using digital image stabilization” (P. 11)

The digital images are not stabilized when:

  • images are shot at a high-magnification zoom setting, i.e. using both optical zoom and digital zoom functions,
  • the object is dark and the shutter speed is slow, or
  • scene modes where the flash is turned off and/or the shutter speed is slow.

Taking stabilized pictures without the flash

The flash is activated automatically when there is insufficient light, or when the camera is shaken. To take pictures with no flash in dark places, set the flash mode to [④] and set as follows:

Increase the [ISO] setting

OLYMPUS STYLUS 770 SW - Increase the [ISO] setting - 1

"ISO Changing the ISO sensitivity" (P. 21)

The picture is too grainy

There are several factors that can cause the picture to appear grainy.

Using the digital zoom to take close-up pictures

- With the digital zoom, part of the image is cropped and enlarged. The greater the magnification, the grainier the picture appears.

OLYMPUS STYLUS 770 SW - Using the digital zoom to take close-up pictures - 1

“DIGITAL ZOOM Zooming in on your subject” (P. 22)

Increasing the ISO sensitivity

- When you increase the [ISO] setting, “noise”, which appears as spots of unwanted color or unevenness in the color, can be introduced and give the picture a grainy appearance. This camera is equipped with a function to allow shooting at high sensitivity while suppressing noise; however, increasing the ISO sensitivity can result in some noise, depending on the shooting conditions.

OLYMPUS STYLUS 770 SW - Increasing the ISO sensitivity - 1

"ISO Changing the ISO sensitivity" (P. 21)

Taking pictures with the correct color

- The reason why there are sometimes differences between the actual colors and the colors recorded in a picture is related to the light source illuminating the subject. [WB] is the function that helps the camera determine the true colors. Normally, the [AUTO] setting provides the optimal white balance, but depending on the subject, results may be better if you manually adjust the [WB] setting.

  • When the subject is in the shade on a sunny day
  • When the subject is illuminated by both natural light and indoor lighting, such as when near a window
  • When there is no white in the center of the frame

OLYMPUS STYLUS 770 SW - Taking pictures with the correct color - 1

"WB Adjusting the color of a picture" (P. 21)

Taking pictures of a white beach or snow scene

• Take pictures with 7/6 in SCN mode. Suitable for taking pictures on a sunny day at the beach or in the snow.

OLYMPUS STYLUS 770 SW - Taking pictures of a white beach or snow scene - 1

"SCN (Scene) Selecting a scene mode according to the shooting situation" (P. 20)

- Often, bright subjects (such as snow) turn out darker than their natural colors. Use △ to adjust toward [+] to make these subjects closer to their true shades. Conversely, when you are shooting dark subjects, it can be effective to adjust toward the [-]. Sometimes, using the flash may not produce the brightness (exposure) that was intended.

"△+ button Changing picture brightness" (P. 15)

Taking pictures of a subject against backlight

- With [ESP/[●]] set to [●], the picture can be taken based on the brightness at the center of the monitor without being affected by the light in the background.

OLYMPUS STYLUS 770 SW - Taking pictures of a subject against backlight - 1

“ESP/☐ Changing the area for measuring the brightness of a subject” (P. 22)

- Set the flash to [⚡] to activate fill-in-flash. You can shoot a subject against backlight without the face of the subject appearing dark. [⚡] is effective for shooting against backlight and under fluorescent and other artificial lighting.

- 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.

OLYMPUS STYLUS 770 SW - WARNING - 1

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.

- 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 or AC adapter 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.

- Do not touch the metallic parts of the camera for a long period of time at low temperatures.

- This may damage your skin. At low temperatures, handle the camera while wearing gloves.

  • 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.

OLYMPUS STYLUS 770 SW - DANGER - 1

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.

OLYMPUS STYLUS 770 SW - WARNING - 1

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.

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 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 CCD, or may possibly cause fires.
  • Do not push or pull severely on 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.
  • Always observe the operating environment restrictions described in the camera's manual.
  • The altitude/depth measurement function is not approved by an official institution. Use the readings only for your reference.

Battery Handling Precautions

  • 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.
  • 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.

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. A 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 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.
  • Olympus makes no representations or warranties regarding any damages, or benefit expected by using this unit lawfully, or any request from a third person, which are caused by the inappropriate use of this product.
  • Olympus makes no representations or warranties regarding any damages or any benefit expected by using this unit lawfully which are caused by erasing picture data.
