Using the shooting modes

"Point-and-shoot" photography (P program mode)

In mode P, the camera automatically adjusts shutter speed and aperture in response to subject brightness. Set the mode dial to P.

  • The shutter speed and aperture selected by the camera are displayed in the monitor.
  • The shutter speed and aperture displays flash if the camera is unable to achieve optimal exposure.

Choosing aperture (A aperture-priority mode)

In mode A, you choose the aperture and let the camera automatically adjust shutter speed for optimal exposure. Rotate the mode dial to A.

Lower aperture valueF2.0 ← F5.6 → F8.0Higher aperture value
  • You can set the aperture value with the control ring, and the exposure compensation with the sub dial.
  • Larger apertures (lower F-numbers) decrease depth of field (the area in front of or behind the focus point that appears to be in focus), softening background details. Smaller apertures (higher F-numbers) increase depth of field.
  • The shutter speed display will blink if the camera is unable to achieve optimal exposure.

  • You can set the shutter speed with the control ring, and the exposure compensation with the sub dial.
  • A fast shutter speed can freeze a fast action scene without any blur. A slow shutter speed will blur a fast action scene. This blurring will give the impression of dynamic motion.
  • The aperture value display will blink if the camera is unable to achieve optimal exposure.

Choosing aperture and shutter speed (M manual mode)

In mode M, you choose both the aperture and the shutter speed. Set the mode dial to M, and set the shutter speed with the control ring, and the aperture value with the sub dial.

  • The shutter speed can be set to 1/2000–30 sec.
  • You can change the functions assigned to the control ring and the sub dial. [Dial Function] (P. 51)

! Cautions

- Exposure compensation is not available in M mode.

Noise in images

While shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on-screen. These phenomena are caused when current is generated in those sections of the image pickup device that are not normally exposed to light, resulting in a rise in temperature in the image pickup device or image pickup device drive circuit. This can also occur when shooting with a high ISO setting in a high-temperature environment. To reduce this noise, the camera activates the noise reduction function. [Noise Reduct.] (P. 52)

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. 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. 67)

■ 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 no operations are performed for a pre-determined period of times while the camera is 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 5 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.

• Take pictures using the touch screen. P. 29
• Taking a picture of a subject not in the center of the monitor. P. 37
After focusing on an object at the same distance as the subject, compose the shot, and take the picture.

• Using the face priority AF. P. 38

• Taking a picture of a shadowy subject. P. 51

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. 32
The image pickup device shifts to correct for camera shake even if the ISO sensitivity is not increased. This function is also effective when taking pictures at a high zoom magnification.

- Select [ Sport ] in the scene mode. P. 17

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. 38

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.

  • Select [Auto] for [Gradation] in picture mode. P. 42
    • Using the face priority AF. P. 38
    • Taking pictures using [Spot Metering]. P. 36
    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. 22

A subject against backlight is brightened.

• Taking pictures of a white beach or snow scene. P. 17

Select [Beach & Snow] in the scene mode.

• 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. 33

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 at a low ISO sensitivity. P. 38

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.

- Remove the card and display the images in internal memory. P. 5

Viewing images with high picture quality on a highdefinition TV

- Connect the camera to the TV using an HDMI cable (sold separately). P. 56

■ Editing

Erasing the sound recorded to a still image.

- Display a still image to erase the sound, and select [Erase] for [☐]. 📋 P. 27

OLYMPUS XZ-10 - ■ Wireless flash control range - 1

text_image 30° 60° 30° 7m 50° 50° 100° 5m

! Cautions

• We recommend using up to 3 remote flash units.
- Remote flash units can not be used for second curtain slow synchronization longer than 4 seconds.
- If the subject is too close to the camera, the control flashes emitted by the built-in flash may affect exposure (this effect can be reduced by reducing the output of the built-in flash by, for example, using a diffuser).
