Information for Your Safety
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
When using your photographic equipment, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
Read and understand all instructions before using.
Close supervision is necessary when any flash is used by or near children. Do not leave
flash unattended while in use.
Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts.
Do not operate if the flash has been dropped or damaged - until it has been examined by
qualified service personnel.
Let flash cool completely before putting away.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse this flash in water or other liquids.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this flash, but take it to qualified
service personnel when service or repair work is required. Incorrect reassembly can
cause electric shock when the flash is used subsequently.
The use of an accessory attachment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause a
risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

The exposure determined by the aperture value and shutter speed you have set, and the
difference relative to a suitable exposure measured by the camera are displayed on the
monitor.
Shutter speed can be set to values between 1/8000 and 60 seconds or to [BULB] or

If you change the aperture value and shutter speed, the display on the monitor (or
viewfinder) will not change. To display the image as it is going to be shot, set [Live View

Even when you have set [Noise Reduct.], noise and/or light spots may still be noticeable
in the image displayed on the monitor and shot images under certain environmental
conditions (temperature etc.) and camera settings.
Noise in images
While shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on screen. These phenomena
occur when the temperature rises in the image pickup device or image pickup device
internal drive circuit, causing current to be generated in those sections of the image pickup
device that are not normally exposed to light. 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. g [Noise Reduct.] (P. 108)

Interchangeable lenses
Choose a lens according to the scene and your creative intent. Use
lenses designed exclusively for the Micro Four Thirds system and
bearing the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL label or the symbol shown at right.
With an adapter, you can also use Four Thirds System and OM System
lenses.
When you attach or remove the body cap and lens from the camera, keep the lens mount
on the camera pointed downward. This helps prevent dust and other foreign matter from
getting inside the camera.
Do not remove the body cap or attach the lens in dusty places.
Do not point the lens attached to the camera toward the sun. This may cause the camera
to malfunction or even ignite due to the magnifying effect of sunlight focusing through the
lens.
Be careful not to lose the body cap and rear cap.
Attach the body cap to the camera to prevent dust from getting inside when no lens is
attached.

External flash units designated for use with this camera

With this camera, you can use one of the separately sold external flash units to
achieve a flash suited to your needs. The external flashes communicate with the
camera, allowing you to control the cameras flash modes with various available flash
control modes, such as TTL-AUTO and Super FP flash. An external flash unit specified
for use with this camera can be mounted on the camera by attaching it to the cameras
hot shoe. You can also attach the flash to the flash bracket on the camera using the
bracket cable (optional). Refer to the documentation provided with the external flash
units as well.
The upper limit of the shutter speed is 1/250 sec. when using a flash*.
* 1/20 sec. in silent mode (silent mode, high res, or focus bracketing).

We recommend using a single group of up to three remote flash units.

Remote flash units cannot be used for second curtain slow synchronization or anti-shock
exposures longer than 4 seconds.
If the subject is too close to the camera, the control flashes emitted by the camera flash
may affect exposure (this effect can be reduced by reducing the output of the camera
flash by, for example, using a diffuser).
The upper limit of flash synchronization timing is 1/250 sec. when using the flash in RC
mode.
Other external flash units

Note the following when using a third-party flash unit mounted on the camera hot shoe:
Using obsolete flash units that apply currents of more than about 250 V to the X-contact
will damage the camera.
Connecting flash units with signal contacts that do not conform to Olympus specifications
may damage the camera.
Set the Shooting mode to M, set the shutter speed to a value no higher than flash
synchronous speed, and set ISO sensitivity to a setting other than [AUTO].
Flash control can only be performed by manually setting the flash to the ISO sensitivity
and aperture values selected with the camera. Flash brightness can be adjusted by
adjusting either ISO sensitivity or aperture.
Use a flash with an angle of illumination suited to the lens. Angle of illumination is usually
expressed using 35-mm format equivalent focal lengths.

Principal Accessories
Remote cable (RMUC1)
Use when the slightest camera movement can result in blurred pictures, for example
for macro or bulb photography. The remote cable attaches via the camera multiconnector. (P. 11)
Converter lenses
Converter lenses attach to the camera lens for quick and easy fish-eye or macro
photography. See the OLYMPUS website for information on the lenses that can be

Storage
7
Cautions
When not using the camera for a prolonged period, remove the battery and card. Store
the camera in a cool, dry place that is well ventilated.
Insert the battery periodically and test the cameras functions.
Remove dust and other foreign matter from the body and rear caps before attaching them.
Attach the body cap to the camera to prevent dust from getting inside when no lens is
attached. Be sure to replace the front and rear lens caps before putting the lens away.
Clean the camera after use.
Do not store with insect repellent.
Cleaning and checking the image pickup device

This camera incorporates a dust reduction function to keep dust from getting on the
image pickup device and to remove any dust or dirt from the image pickup device
surface with ultrasonic vibrations. The dust reduction function operates when the
camera is turned on.
The dust reduction function operates at the same time as the pixel mapping, which
checks the image pickup device and image processing circuitry. Since dust reduction
is activated every time the cameras power is turned on, the camera should be held
upright for the dust reduction function to be effective.
Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or alcohol, or a chemically treated cloth.
Avoid storing the camera in places where chemicals are treated, in order to protect the
camera from corrosion.
Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left dirty.
Check each part of the camera before use if it has not been used for a long time. Before
taking important pictures, be sure to take a test shot and check that the camera works
properly.
152 EN

The battery has been removed from the camera

The date and time settings will be returned to the factory default settings if the camera is
left without the battery for approximately 1 day. The settings will be cancelled more quickly
if the battery was only loaded in the camera for a short time before being removed. Before
taking important pictures, check that the date and time settings are correct.
Set functions are restored to their factory default settings
Image taken appears whitish

This may occur when the picture is taken in backlight or semi-backlight conditions. This is
due to a phenomenon called flare or ghosting. As far as possible, consider a composition
where strong light source is not taken in the picture. Flare may occur even when a light
source is not present in the picture. Use a lens hood to shade the lens from the light source.
If a lens hood does not have effect, use your hand to shade the lens from the light.

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.

FCC Notice
FCC Caution
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.
Changes or modifications not expressly

approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the users authority to operate the
equipment.
This transmitter must not be co-located or
operated in conjunction with any other antenna
or transmitter.
This equipment complies with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment and meets the FCC radio frequency
(RF) Exposure Guidelines. This equipment has
very low levels of RF energy that are deemed
to comply without testing of specific absorption
rate (SAR).
9
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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. PEN-F has been tested and found to
comply with IC radiation exposure limits set forth
for an uncontrolled environment and meets RSS102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure
rules.
