Selecting batteries or the optional AC adapter
In addition to the batteries provided, this camera can use the following types
of battery or AC adapter. You are recommended to choose the power source
best suited to the situation.
CR-V3 lithium battery packs (Not rechargeable)
Since the CR-V3 lithium battery pack has a long service life, it is convenient
when traveling.
Do not peel off the label on a CR-V3 lithium battery pack.
NiMH batteries (Rechargeable)
Olympus NiMH batteries are rechargeable and economical. Their low-
temperature resistance makes them a good choice for cold areas.
AA (R6) alkaline batteries
When you need batteries in a hurry, you can use AA (R6) alkaline batteries,
which are easy to get anywhere. However, the number of pictures that you
can store in the camera may vary considerably with AA batteries, depending
on the battery manufacturer, camera shooting conditions, etc. Turn off the
monitor whenever possible to save power.
AC adapter
The optional Olympus AC adapter
allows you to power your camera
from a household electrical outlet.
Use an AC adapter designed to
operate on the AC voltage in the
area the camera is being used.
Consult your nearest Olympus
dealer or service center for details.
The power will be drawn from the AC
adapter even if there are batteries in the camera. The batteries in the camera
will not be recharged.

• Manganese (zinc-carbon) batteries cannot be used.
• If the batteries become exhausted when the camera is connected to a
PC for a long time while powered by the batteries and you are
downloading images from the camera, the image data may be lost or
damaged. You are therefore recommended to use the optional AC
adapter. However, do not connect or disconnect the AC adapter while
the camera is connected to the PC.
• Do not remove or load the batteries or connect or disconnect the AC
adapter while the camera is turned on. This may affect the camera’s
internal settings or functions.
• The life of battery packs may vary according to the type of battery,
manufacturer, camera shooting conditions, etc.
• Power is consumed continuously during the conditions below. This
could reduce the number of pictures that can be taken.
• When the monitor is turned on.
• When the monitor is in the playback mode for an extended
period of time.
• Repeated zooming of lens.
• Repeated auto-focus by depressing the shutter button halfway.
• When the camera is connected to a PC.

lightly press the shutter button or zoom lever. Whenever possible, turn
the camera off when you do not intend to take any pictures for a while.

Comparison of the viewfinder & monitor
Viewfinder Monitor
Advantages Camera movement does
not occur easily and
subjects can be seen clearly
even in bright places.
Little battery power is used.
You can check the picture
area that the camera
actually records more
accurately.
Disadvantages When close to a subject, the
image in the viewfinder is a
little different from the
picture that the camera
actually records.
Camera movement can
occur easily and subjects
may be difficult to see in
bright/dark places. The
monitor uses more battery
power than the viewfinder.
Tips Use the viewfinder for
general snapshots
(landscape pictures, casual
shots, etc.) or when taking
several pictures in a row
(approx. 0.8 m/2.6 ft – ).
Use the monitor when you
need to know the exact
area the camera records, or
when you want to shoot a
close subject such as a
close-up portrait or flower
(approx. 0.2 m - 0.8 m/0.7 ft
- 2.6 ft).
• The camera records a wider area than the image in the
viewfinder.
• As you get closer to the subject, the actual image
recorded becomes lower than the one in the viewfinder
(see left).

If correct focus cannot be obtained
When the subject you want to focus on is not in the center of the frame and
you cannot position the AF target mark on it, you can focus the camera on
another point at roughly the same distance (focus lock) and take the picture
as explained below.
Determine the position of the subject after focusing (Focus Lock)
1Open the lens barrier fully.
The camera turns on in the shooting
mode.
2Look into the viewfinder and
position the AF target mark over
the subject.
When shooting a hard-to-focus subject
or a fast-moving subject, point the
camera at an object about the same
distance away as the subject.
3Half-press the shutter button
until the green lamp on the right
of the viewfinder illuminates
steady.
The focus and exposure are locked
when the green lamp lights up.
4Keeping the shutter button
pressed halfway, recompose
your shot in the viewfinder.

Subjects that are difficult to focus on
Under certain types of conditions, the auto focus may not work properly. If this
happens, focus on an object with high contrast at the same distance as the
intended subject (focus lock), 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,
then return the camera to the horizontal position while keeping the button
half-pressed and take the picture.

Night scene mode
Setting the mode to NIGHT SCENE allows you to take landscape shots at
night under optimum conditions. In this mode, the shutter speed is not fixed
to 1/30 second even when the flash is activated. Depending upon the subject
or shooting conditions, shutter speed may extend up to 2 seconds. The noise
reduction function activates automatically reducing ‘noise’ when the shutter
speed is over 1 second. This function reduces electrostatic ‘noise’ that occurs
with long exposure shots.
The pictures above illustrate the difference between the two modes and do
not represent actual shots.

Fill-in flash ( )
The flash always fires every time the shutter button is released. This mode is
useful when you want to minimize shadows around the subject (such as the
shade of tree leaves on the subject’s face), in backlight condition, or under
artificial light such as a fluorescent lamp.
Flash off ( )
The flash does not fire even in low light conditions. Use this mode in situations
where flash photography is not desired or is prohibited, such as in an art
museum. You can also use this mode when you want to shoot a natural-
looking twilight or night scene.
The fill-in flash may not have the desired effect under excessively bright
light.
Since a slow shutter speed is automatically selected in low light
situations when in the flash off mode, the use of a tripod is
recommended to prevent your pictures from being blurred by camera
movement.

Relation between the record mode and the resolution
Resolution
The number of pixels (horizontal × vertical) used when saving an image. If the
image will be printed, higher resolutions (larger numbers) are recommended
so that the image will be clearer. However, higher resolutions make the file
size (amount of data) larger, so the number of pictures that can be saved will
be fewer.
Resolution and picture size on a computer screen
When a picture is transferred to a computer, the size of the picture on the
computer screen varies depending on the computer’s monitor setting. For
instance, a picture taken in 1024 × 768 resolution is the same size as the
screen if you set the picture to 1× when the monitor setting is 1024 × 768.
However, if the monitor setting is over 1024 × 768 (such as 1280 × 1024), the
picture only takes up part of the screen.
Compression rate
In record modes other than TIFF, image data are compressed. The higher the
compression rate, the less clear the image.
File format
This camera saves images with either TIFF or JPEG formats. In record
modes other than TIFF, images are compressed in the JPEG format. The
compression rate also varies in each mode.

Selecting the ISO sensitivity
The higher the ISO value, the greater the camera’s light sensitivity and the
better its ability to shoot in low light conditions. However, higher values also
introduce electrical noise into the resulting image, which may make them a
grainy appearance.
1Display the top menu in the shooting
mode.
• Open the lens barrier fully.
• Press .
2Press to select MODE MENU.
3Press to select the CAMERA
tab, then press .
4Press to select ISO, then
press .
ISO settings
AUTO : Sensitivity is automatically adjusted according to the light
conditions and the subject brightness. (No indication is displayed
on the monitor.)
100/200/400 : 100 is best when you want to shoot clear, sharp images in
daylight. With a higher ISO setting, you can use faster shutter
speeds with the same amount of light.

The ISO value returns to AUTO (factory default setting) when the lens
barrier is closed. “Saving the settings (All Reset)” ( p.110)
• Higher ISO settings produce more electrical noise.
• The ISO is standardized based on the sensitivity of normal camera
film. The scale is approximate.
• When the ISO is set to AUTO and you are shooting in dark conditions
without a flash, the ISO automatically increases, otherwise the
shutter speed will be reduced, possibly resulting in camera
movement and blurred images.
• If the subject is too far away for the flash illumination to reach when
the ISO is set to AUTO, the ISO is automatically increased.

Varying the image brightness (Exposure compensation)
This function allows you to make fine changes to the automatic exposure
setting. In some situations, you may get better results when the exposure that
the camera sets is compensated (adjusted) manually. You can adjust the
brightness in the range of ±2.0 in 0.5 steps.
Often bright subjects (such as snow) will turn out darker than their natural
colors. Adjusting towards [ + ] makes these subjects closer to their real
shades. For the same reason, adjust towards [ - ] when shooting dark
subjects.

5Take the picture.
• The exposure compensation value returns to ±0 (factory default
setting) when the lens barrier is closed. “Saving the settings (All
Reset)” ( p.110)
• When you adjust the exposure while observing the subject on the
monitor, the brightness of the image displayed also changes.
However, the variation may be less noticeable when the subject is
dark. In this case, play back the recorded image to confirm that the
exposure is satisfactory.
• If the flash is used, the image brightness (exposure) may differ from
the intended brightness (exposure).
• Exposure compensation cannot correct the image if the surroundings
of the subject are extremely bright or dark.

Adjusting the color tone (White balance)
Color reproduction differs depending on the light conditions. For instance,
when daylight, the setting sun or tungsten lighting are reflected on white
paper, the shade of white produced will be slightly different for each. By
setting the WB (white balance), you can achieve more natural-looking colors.
