Usage Tips

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” (P. 4)
  • 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

An error message is displayed.

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 lever 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, 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 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.

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 ^4 , 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.

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. P. 41 After focusing on an object at the same distance as the subject, compose the shot, and take the picture.
  • Set [AF Mode] to [Face/iESP]. 📋 P. 53
    • Taking a picture in [AF Tracking] mode. 📋 P. 53

The camera tracks the subject movement automatically to focus on it continuously.

• Taking a picture of a shadowy subject. P. 55

Using the AF illuminator makes focusing easier.

• 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.

natural_image Line drawing of a person sitting on grass reading a book, with mountains and water in the background (no text or symbols)

Subject not inside AF area

*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.

■ Camera shake

Taking pictures without camera shake.

  • Taking pictures using [Image Stabilizer]. ☐ P. 54 The camera detects camera movement to reduce the blur even if the ISO sensitivity is not increased. This function is also effective when taking pictures at a high zoom magnification.
  • Shooting movies using [IS Movie Mode]. 📋 P. 58
  • Select [ Sport ] in the scene mode. P. 26

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. P. 46

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.

■ 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. 61

[Backlight HDR] P. 26

• Taking pictures using [Face/iESP]. 📋 P. 53

Appropriate exposure is obtained for a face against backlight, and the face is brightened.

• Taking pictures using [Spot Metering]. 📋 P. 53

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] flash. P. 38

A subject against backlight is brightened.

• Taking pictures of a white beach or snow scene. P. 26

Select [Beach & Snow] in the scene mode.

• Taking pictures using exposure compensation. P. 39

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. 45

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 or super-resolution zoom. Avoid using digital zoom (P. 54) to take pictures.
    • Taking pictures at a low ISO sensitivity. P. 46

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.

Playback/Editing tips

■ Playback

Playing images in the internal memory and card.

- Remove the card and display the images in internal memory. P. 4

Viewing images with high picture quality on a highdefinition TV.

- Connect the camera to the TV using an HDMI cable. P. 79

■ Editing

Erasing the sound recorded to a still image.

- Record over the sound with silence when playing back the image. P. 61

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.

Precautions when using the wireless LAN function

If using the wireless LAN function in a country outside the region where the camera was purchased, there is a risk that the camera will not conform to the wireless communication regulations of that country. Olympus will not be held responsible for any failure to meet such 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. 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.
  • 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.

Disclaimer of Warranty

• Olympus makes no representations or warranties, either expressed or implied, by or concerning any content of these written materials or software, and in no event shall be liable for any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose or for any consequential, incidental or indirect damages (including but not limited to damages for loss of business profits, business interruption and loss of business information) arising from the use or inability to use these written materials or software or equipment.

FCC Notice

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

  • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
  • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
  • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
  • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
  • Only the OLYMPUS-supplied USB cable should be used to connect the camera to USB enabled personal computers.

FCC Caution

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. SH-2 has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF). Exposure Guidelines.

This equipment complies with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that are deemed to comply without testing of specific absorption ratio (SAR).
