If the camera does not work as intended, or if an error message is displayed on the screen, and you are unsure of what to do, refer to the information below to fix the problem(s).

Troubleshooting

Battery

"The camera does not work even when batteries are installed".

• Insert recharged batteries in the correct direction.
  "Inserting and removing the battery and card (commercially available)" (p. 4), "Charging the battery" (p. 5)
• 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. 40)

Shutter button

"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 12 (flash charge) stops blinking before taking pictures.

Monitor

"Difficult to see".

• Condensation 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.

"Vertical lines appear on the monitor".

• This condition may occur when the camera is pointed at an extremely bright subject under a clear sky and so on.

The lines may appear on the recorded movie.

"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 12 hours ^-1 , the date and time settings return to the default setting, and must be reset.

1 The time until the date and time settings return to the default setting varies depending on how long the batteries have been loaded.

"Turning on the camera and making the initial settings" (p. 7)

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 monitor

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. 9)

• Set [AF Mode] (p. 25) to [Face/iESP]
• Taking a picture in [AF Tracking] mode (p. 25)

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 monitor

Object with no vertical lines

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 (p. 14)
• Select [Sport] in the scene mode (p. 13)
  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. "ISO sensitivity" (p. 22)

Exposure (brightness)

"Taking pictures with the right brightness"

• Taking pictures using [Face/IESP] (p. 25) Appropriate exposure is obtained for a face against backlight, and the face is brightened.
• Taking pictures using [Fill In] (p. 21) flash A subject against backlight is brightened.
• Taking pictures of a white beach or snow scene
• Select [Beach & Snow] in the scene mo (p. 13).

- Taking pictures using exposure compensation (p. 21)

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. 21)

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.)

Image quality

"Taking sharper pictures"

• Taking pictures with the optical zoom
• Avoid using digital zoom (p. 26) to take picture
• 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. "ISO sensitivity" (p. 22)

Batteries

"Making batteries last longer"

• Set [Power Save] (p. 33) to [On]

Playback/Editing tips

Playback

"Playing images in the internal memory and card"

• Remove the card and display the images in internal memory

Leaking and overheating may cause fire, injury, or malfunction.

• When storing the battery for a long period, select a cool location for storage.
  This camera uses one Olympus lithium ion battery. Use the designated battery. There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with the incorrect battery type.
• Power consumption by the camera varies depending on which functions are used.
• During the conditions described below, power is consumed continuously and the battery becomes exhausted quickly.
  The zoom is used repeatedly.

• The shutter button is pressed halfway repeatedly in shooting mode, activating the auto focus.
  A picture is displayed on the monitor for an extended period of time.
  The camera is connected to a printer.

• Using an exhausted battery may cause the camera to turn off without displaying the battery level warning.

• The Olympus lithium ion battery is designed to be used only for the Olympus digital camera.
  Do not use the battery to other devices.
• 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.
• 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.

Use Only Dedicated Rechargeable Battery, Battery Charger and USB-AC adapter

We strongly recommend that you use only the genuine Olympus dedicated rechargeable battery, battery charger and USB-AC adapter with this camera. Using a non-genuine rechargeable battery, battery charger and/or USB-AC adapter may result in fire or personal injury due to leakage, heating, ignition or damage to the battery. Olympus does not assume any liability for accidents or damage that may result from the use of a battery, battery charger and/or USB-AC adapter that are not genuine Olympus accessories.

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. The monitor exhibiting poor performance due to low temperatures will recover in normal temperatures.
• The monitor of this product is manufactured with high-quality accuracy, however, there may be a stuck or dead pixel on the monitor. These pixels do not have any influence on the image to be saved. Because of the characteristics, the unevenness of the color or brightness may also be found depending on the angle, but this is due to the structure of the monitor. This is not a malfunction.
