Shooting tips and information

Tips before you start taking pictures

The camera does not turn on even when a battery is loaded

The direction of the battery is incorrect

- Insert the battery in the correct direction.

The battery is not fully charged

- Charge the battery with the charger.

The battery is temporarily unable to function because of the cold

- Battery performance declines in low temperatures, and the charge may not be sufficient to turn on the camera. Remove the battery and warm it by putting it in your pocket for a while.

Cannot use the card

- If the card's contact area is dirty, the [CARD SETUP] screen may display without reading the card. In this case, select [CLEAN CARD], and press 🔒. Then, remove the card and wipe the contact area with a soft, dry cloth.

No picture is taken when the shutter button is pressed

The camera is in sleep mode

- To save battery power, the camera automatically goes into sleep mode and the monitor turns off if there is no operation after 3 minutes when the camera is turned on (when the lens cover is open and the monitor is on). No picture is taken even if the shutter button is fully pressed in this mode. Operate the zoom button or other buttons to restore the camera from sleep mode before taking a picture. If the camera is left on for 15 minutes, it automatically turns off (the lens cover closes and the monitor turns off). Press POWER to turn the camera on.

The mode dial is set to ▶ or ★

- This is the playback mode for displaying pictures on the monitor. Set the mode dial to a shooting mode.

The mode dial is in the position of GUIDE

- No pictures can be taken when the shooting guide is being displayed. Take pictures after selecting your desired shooting effect in the shooting guide or set it to a setting other than GUIDE in shooting mode.

The flash is charging

- Wait until the ↓ (flash charge) mark stops blinking before taking the picture.

The date and time have not been set

The camera has been used in the same conditions from the time of purchase

- No date and time have been set for the camera at the time of purchase. Set the date and time before using the camera.

OLYMPUS Μ 1030SW - The camera has been used in the same conditions from the time of purchase - 1

"Turn the camera on" (P. 6)

“Setting the date and time” (P. 37)

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].

OLYMPUS Μ 1030SW - When the subject is not in the center of the frame - 1

"AF MODE Changing the focusing area" (P. 29)

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.

OLYMPUS Μ 1030SW - Subjects that are difficult to focus on - 1
Subject with low contrast

OLYMPUS Μ 1030SW - Subjects that are difficult to focus on - 2
Subject with an extremely bright area in the center of the frame

Subjects at different distances

OLYMPUS Μ 1030SW - Subjects that are difficult to focus on - 5
Fast-moving subject

OLYMPUS Μ 1030SW - 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 blur when shooting the picture in «¶» mode.

OLYMPUS Μ 1030SW - Prevent blur by using image stabilization - 1

“《”) Shooting pictures using digital image stabilization” (P. 12)

Pictures are more likely to be blurry 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 [?] and set as follows:

Increase the [ISO] setting

“ISO Changing the ISO sensitivity” (P. 28)

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.

“DIGITAL ZOOM Zooming in on your subject” (P. 28)

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.

“ISO Changing the ISO sensitivity” (P. 28)

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

“WB Adjusting the color of a picture” (P. 27)

Taking pictures of a white beach or snow scene

- Take pictures with 34 in SCN mode. Suitable for taking pictures on a sunny day at the beach or in the snow.

“SCN (Scene) Selecting a scene mode according to the shooting situation” (P. 26)

- 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 (Exposure Compensation)” (P. 17)

Misalignment of panoramic pictures

  • Panning along the camera central axis reduces picture misalignment. When you shoot close subjects, panning along the axis of the lens gives good results.
  • In [COMBINE IN CAMERA1] mode, the camera automatically detects its own position except for the following cases (In such cases, use [COMBINE IN CAMERA 2] or [COMBINE IN PC].):

  • Camera moves too fast, or the camera was not moved along a straight line.

  • Subject with low contrast (the whole screen is filled with the sky, etc.).
  • A moving subject is taking up most of the screen.
  • Camera is moved while processing.

Taking pictures of a subject against backlight

- When Shadow Adjustment Technology is set to [ON], the subject's face appears brighter even against backlight and the color of the background is enhanced in the picture. This function can also be used to shoot indoor pictures from outdoors.

OLYMPUS Μ 1030SW - Taking pictures of a subject against backlight - 1

"Brightening the subject against backlight" (P. 18)

- 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 Μ 1030SW - Taking pictures of a subject against backlight - 2

“ESP/☐ Changing the area for measuring the brightness of a subject” (P. 29)

- 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.

OLYMPUS Μ 1030SW - Taking pictures of a subject against backlight - 3

"▷ button Flash shooting" (P. 17)

- It is effective to set the exposure compensation to [+] by pressing when shooting against strong backlighting.
