Troubleshooting
Battery
"The camera does not work even when batteries are installed".
- Insert recharged batteries in the correct direction. "Inserting the battery" (p. 10), "Charging the battery with the included USB-AC adapter" (p. 12)
- Battery performance may have been reduced temporarily due to low temperature. Take the batteries out of the camera, and warm them by putting them in your pocket for a while.
Card/Internal memory
"An error message is displayed".
"Error message" (p. 53)
"No picture is taken when the shutter button is pressed".
- Cancel sleep mode.
To save battery power, the camera automatically goes into sleep mode and the monitor turns off if there is no operation for 3 minutes when the camera is turned on. No picture is taken even if the shutter button is fully pressed in this mode. Operate the zoom buttons or other buttons to restore the camera from sleep mode before taking a picture. If the camera is left for another 12 minutes, it automatically turns off. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the camera on.
- Press the ▶ button to switch to the shooting mode.
- Wait until ↓(flash charge) stops blinking before taking pictures.
- With prolonged camera use, the internal temperature may increase, resulting in automatic shutdown. If this occurs, remove the battery from the camera and wait until the camera has sufficiently cooled. The camera's external temperature may also increase during use, however this is normal and does not indicate malfunction.
Monitor
"Difficult to see".
- Condensation ^1 may have occurred. Turn off the power, and wait for the camera body to become acclimated to the surrounding temperature and dry out before taking pictures.
*1 Dew drops can form in the camera when it is suddenly taken from a cold location into a warm, humid room.
"Vertical lines appear on the screen".
- This condition may occur when the camera is pointed at an extremely bright subject under a clear sky and so on. The lines do not appear, however, in the final image.
"The light is caught in the picture".
- Shooting with flash in dark situations results in an image with many flash reflections on dust in the air.
Date and time function
"Date and time settings return to the default setting".
- If the batteries are removed and left out of the camera for about 3 days ^2 , the date and time settings return to the default setting, and must be reset.
^*2 The time until the date and time settings return to the default setting varies depending on how long the batteries have been loaded.
"Setting the date, time and time zone" (p. 13)
Miscellaneous
"The camera makes a noise when taking pictures".
- The camera may activate the lens and make a noise even if no operation is performed. This is because the camera automatically performs actions of auto focus as far as it is ready to shoot.

Shooting tips
When you are unsure of how to take a picture that you envision, refer to the information below.
Focusing
"Focusing on the subject"
● Taking a picture of a subject not in the center of the screen
After focusing on an object at the same distance as the subject, compose the shot, and take the picture.
Pressing the shutter button halfway (p. 15)
- Set [AF MODE] (p. 32) to [FACE/iESP]
● Taking a picture in [AF TRACKING] mode (p. 32)
The camera tracks the subject movement automatically to focus on it continuously.
● Taking a picture of subjects where autofocus is difficult
In the following cases, after focusing on an object (by pressing the shutter button halfway down) with high contrast at the same distance as the subject, compose the shot, and take the picture.
Subjects with low contrast
When extremely bright objects appear in the center of the screen
Object with no vertical lines ^4
^*1 It is also effective to compose the shot by holding the camera vertically to focus, and then returning to the horizontal position to take the picture.
When objects are at different distances
Fast-moving object
The subject is not in the center of the frame
Camera shake
"Taking pictures without camera shake"
● Taking pictures using [IMAGE STABILIZER] (p. 34)
When a picture is taken of a shadowy subject, the CCD ^1 shifts to correct for camera shake even if the ISO speed is not increased. This function is also effective when taking pictures at a high zoom magnification.
^*1 A device that takes light received through the lens and converts it into electric signals.
- Shooting movies using [IS MOVIE MODE] (p. 34)
- Select 📁 (SPORT) in the scene mode (p. 23)
The 🎨 (SPORT) mode uses a fast shutter speed and can reduce the blur incurred by a moving subject.
● Taking pictures at a high ISO sensitivity
If a high ISO sensitivity is selected, pictures can be taken at a high shutter speed even at locations where a flash cannot be used.
"Selecting the ISO sensitivity" (p. 29)
Exposure (brightness)
"Taking pictures with the right brightness"
● Taking pictures of a subject against a backlight
Faces or backgrounds are bright even when shot against backlight.
[SHADOW ADJUST] (p. 32)
● Taking pictures using [FACE/iESP] (p. 32)
Appropriate exposure is obtained for a face against backlight, and the face is brightened.
- Taking pictures using [☐] for [ESP/☐] (p. 32)
Brightness is matched with a subject in the center of the screen and the image is not affected by background light.
● Taking pictures using [FILL IN] (p. 27) flash
A subject against backlight is brightened.
● Taking pictures of a white beach or snow scene
Set the mode to [BEACH & SNOW] (p. 23)
● Taking pictures using exposure compensation (p. 28)
Adjust the brightness while viewing the screen for taking the picture. Normally, taking pictures of white subjects (such as snow) results in images that are darker than the actual subject. Use the exposure compensation to adjust in the positive (+) direction to express whites as they appear. When taking pictures of black subjects, on the other hand, it is effective to adjust in the negative (-) direction.
Color hue
"Taking pictures with colors at the same shade as they appear"
● Taking pictures by selecting white balance (p. 28)
Best results in most environments can normally be obtained with the [WB AUTO] setting, but for some subjects, you should try experimenting with different settings. (This is especially true for sunshade under a clear sky, mixed natural and artificial light settings, and so on.)
● Taking pictures using [FILL IN] (p. 27) flash
Use of the flash is also effective for shooting under fluorescent and other artificial lighting.
Image quality
"Taking sharper pictures"
● Taking pictures with the optical zoom
Avoid using digital zoom (p. 33) to take pictures.
● Taking pictures at a low ISO sensitivity
If the picture is taken with a high ISO sensitivity, noise (small colored spots and color unevenness that were not in the original image) can occur, and the image can appear grainy.
"Selecting the ISO sensitivity" (p. 29)
Panorama
"Taking pictures so that the frames are stitched smoothly"
● A tip for panoramic shooting
Taking pictures by pivoting with the camera at the center prevents shifting of the image. When taking pictures of close objects in particular, pivoting with the lens end at the center produces favorable results.
[PANORAMA] (p. 24)
Batteries
"Making batteries last longer"
- Avoid any of the following operations when not actually taking pictures because they deplete the battery power
- Repeatedly pressing the shutter button halfway.
- Repeatedly using the zoom.
- Set [POWER SAVE] (p. 46) to [ON]
Playback
"Playing images in the internal memory and card"
- Remove the card and display the images in internal memory
- “Inserting the battery” (p. 10), “Inserting the SD/SDHC memory card (sold separately)” (p. 14)
- Selecting a storage device
[INTERNAL/SD] (p. 41)
Editing
"Erasing the sound recorded to a still image"
- Record over the sound with silence when playing back the image
"Adding sound to still images [ψ]" (p. 40)

If you accidentally insert another type of card into the camera, contact an authorized distributor or service center. Do not try to remove the card by force.
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 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.
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 AC adapter or charger. Do not use any other AC adapters or 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, solder, 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.
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 batteries. 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 button to make sure that it is operating normally.
- Always observe the operating environment restrictions described in the camera's manual.
Battery Handling Precautions
- This camera uses a lithium ion battery specified by Olympus. Do not use any other type of battery.
- 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.
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.
