2 Tips before you start taking pictures
Tips before you start
taking pictures
2
Your pictures are almost guaranteed to

come out well just by setting the mode dial
to h or P and pressing the shutter
button. But occasionally, you can’t focus on
your subject, or the subject is too dark, or
the picture doesn’t come out the way you
want…
Just knowing which button to press or which
setting to change can help you solve these
problems.
And did you know that by selecting an
image size according to how you plan to use
the pictures afterwards, you can store more
pictures on the memory card? These are
just some of the hints provided in this
chapter.

Holding the camera
Sometimes when you look at a picture you have taken, the contours of the
subject are blurred. This is often caused by movement of the camera at the
precise moment that the shutter button is pressed.
Tips before you start taking pictures

Picture where subject is not clearly defined
To prevent the camera from moving, hold the camera firmly with both
hands while keeping your elbows at your sides. When taking pictures
with the camera in the vertical position, hold the camera so that the flash
is positioned higher than the lens. Keep your fingers and the strap away
from the lens and flash.
Horizontal grip Vertical grip
Top view
Do not hold this part of the lens.
23
If correct focus cannot be obtained
The camera automatically detects the focus target in the frame. The level
of contrast is one of the criteria it uses to detect the subject. The camera
may fail to determine subjects with lower contrast than the surroundings or
with an area of extremely strong contrast in the frame. If this happens, the
simplest solution is to use the focus lock.
How to focus (focus lock)

2
1 Position the AF target mark on P

the subject you want to focus on.
• When shooting a hard-to-focus or fast-
moving subject, focus the camera on an
object about the same distance away as
the subject.
HQ 2288 1712 5

AF target mark
Press the shutter button halfway
until the green lamp lights.
• When the focus and exposure are
locked, the green lamp lights.
• When the green lamp blinks, the focus Shutter button
and exposure are not locked. Release
your finger from the shutter button, re-
position the AF target mark on the subject and press the shutter button
halfway again.
3 Keeping the shutter button Green lamp

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, then return the
camera to the horizontal position while keeping the button pressed halfway and take
the picture.
25
Record mode
You can select a record mode in which to take pictures or shoot movies.
Select the best record mode for your purpose (printing, editing on a
computer, website editing, etc.). For information on the image sizes for
each record mode and memory capacity, see the table on P. 27.
Still picture record modes

2 Record mode depicts the image size and compression rate of pictures you wish to
record.
Pictures are made from thousands of dots (pixels). If a picture with relatively few
pixels is enlarged, it looks like a mosaic. A picture with many pixels is denser and
clearer, but requires a larger file size (data size), decreasing the number of pictures
that can be saved. Increasing the compression rate reduces the file size, but makes
the pictures appear grainy.

TIPS
• 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 with an image size of 1,024 × 768 fills the screen if
you set the picture to 1× when the monitor setting is 1,024 × 768. However, if
the monitor setting is over 1,024 × 768 (such as 1,280 × 1,024), the picture only
takes up part of the screen.
27

Note
• The number of storable still pictures and remaining recording times listed in the
table are approximate.
• The number of storable still pictures may change according to the subject or
factors like whether print reservations have been made or not. In certain
instances, the number of remaining pictures does not change even when you
take pictures or stored images are erased.

Recording pictures
Pictures taken are stored in the internal memory.
You can also use an optional xD-Picture Card (referred to as “card” in this
manual) to store pictures. The card has greater capacity than the internal
memory, and so is able to store more pictures. The card is convenient, for
example, when you are traveling and you want to take a lot of pictures.
(Internal memory basics
The internal memory corresponds to the film of a normal camera for recording
pictures you have taken. 2
Pictures recorded and stored in the internal memory can easily be erased,

overwritten, and/or edited on a computer. The internal memory cannot be replaced
or removed from the camera.

exposure to the optimal setting, chooses the
best focusing method and even selects the
type of film according to the subject.
With a digital camera, you don’t need to
learn how to make difficult settings. Your
camera will adjust the settings for you! All
you have to do is choose a scene mode
according to whether you are taking a
landscape, a night scene, a portrait-style
image or whatever, and the camera will set
the best exposure and white balance.
There’s nothing to it – just press the shutter

i Portrait
Suitable for taking a portrait-style shot of a person. This mode is optimum for

l Landscape
Suitable for taking pictures of landscapes and other outdoor scenes. Both the
foreground and the background are in focus. Since blues and greens are vividly
reproduced in this mode, it is excellent for shooting natural scenery.
z Night Scene*
Suitable for shooting pictures in the evening or at night. The camera sets a slower
shutter speed than is used in normal shooting. For example, if you take a picture of
a street at night in P mode, the lack of brightness will result in a dark picture with
only dots of light. In the Night Scene shooting mode, the true appearance of the
street is captured. Since the shutter speed is slow, make sure that you stabilize the
camera by using a tripod.
j Sports
Suitable for capturing fast-moving action (such as sports) without blurring. Even fast-
moving subjects appear to be stationary.

Zooming in on a distant subject
You can zoom in on your subject using the optical zoom and digital zoom.
With the optical zoom, the image is enlarged on the CCD when the lens
magnification is changed, and the image is formed by all the CCD pixels.
With the digital zoom, the area at the center of the image captured by the
CCD is cropped and enlarged. When you zoom in on a subject, you are
essentially taking a small area of the picture and making it bigger.
Therefore, the greater the magnification with the digital zoom, the grainier
the resulting picture will be.
The following zoom magnifications are available on this camera.

Optical zoom 3× (equivalent to 38 mm to 114 mm on a 35 mm
3 camera)

However, in macro mode focusing is performed quickly.

Select the flash mode best suited to the light conditions and the effect you
want to achieve.
Flash working range

T (max.): Approx. 0.6 m to 2.1 m (2.0 ft. to 6.9 ft.)
Auto-flash (No indication)
The flash fires automatically in low light or backlight conditions.
Red-eye reduction flash (!)
The light from the flash may make the
subject’s eyes appear red in the picture.
3
The red-eye reduction flash mode

reduces this phenomenon by emitting
pre-flashes before firing the regular flash.
The subject’s eyes appear red.

Note
• After the pre-flashes, it takes about 1 second before the shutter is released.
Hold the camera firmly, and prevent it from moving.
• Effectiveness may be limited if the subject is not looking directly at the pre-
flashes, or if the shooting subject is too far. Individual physical characteristics
may also limit effectiveness.
Fill-in flash (#)

The flash fires regardless of the available light.
This mode is useful for eliminating shadows on
the subject’s face (such as shadows from tree
leaves), in a backlight situation, or for
correcting the color shift produced by artificial
lighting (especially fluorescent light).
Note
• The fill-in flash may not have the desired effect under excessively bright light.
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. You can also use this mode when
shooting landscapes, sunsets, and other subjects outside the range of the flash.
Note
• 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.

How to make print reservations
Print reservation allows you to save printing data (the number of prints and the date/
time information) with the pictures stored on the card.
Only pictures stored on the card can be reserved to print. Insert a card with
recorded pictures into the camera before making print reservations.
With print reservation, you can print out pictures easily either at home using a
personal DPOF-compatible printer or at a photo store that supports DPOF. DPOF is
a standard format used to record automatic print information from digital cameras.
You can print out pictures automatically, at home or at a photo store, by storing data,
such as which pictures you want to print and the number of prints, on the card.
Pictures with print reservations can be printed using the following procedures.
Printing using a DPOF-compatible photo store.
You can print the pictures using the print reservation data.
Printing using a DPOF-compatible printer.
Printing is possible directly from a card containing print reservation data without
using a computer. For more details, refer to the printer’s instruction manual. A
PC card adapter may also be necessary.
To use print services without using DPOF

Pictures stored in the internal memory cannot be printed at a photo store.
The pictures need to be copied to a card before taking them.

TIPS
Relation between printing and record mode when shooting
The resolution of a computer/printer is generally based on the number of dots
(pixels) per inch (dpi). Increasing the dpi when printing a picture produces a
finer print. However, as the resolution of the picture is not changed, the size of
the print will be smaller. You can enlarge the size of the print, but the picture
will appear grainy.
If you want to print large, high-quality pictures, set the record mode as high as
possible when taking the pictures. g“Record mode” (P. 26)
Note
• DPOF reservations set by another device cannot be changed by this camera.
Make changes using the original device.
• If a card contains DPOF reservations set by another device, entering
reservations using this camera may overwrite the previous reservations.
• If there is not enough space in the card memory, you may not be able to enter
the reservation data. [CARD FULL] will be displayed.
• You can make DPOF print reservations for up to 999 images per card.
• Even if an image is displayed with the message [PICTURE ERROR], it may be

Safety Precautions
Caution for Usage Environment
• To protect the high-precision technology contained in this product, never
leave the camera in the places listed below, no matter if in use or storage:
• Places where temperatures and/or humidity are high or go through
extreme changes. Direct sunlight, beaches, locked cars, or near other
heat sources (stove, radiator, etc.) or humidifiers.
• In sandy or dusty environments.
• Near flammable items or explosives.
• In wet places, such as bathrooms or in the rain. When using products with
weatherproof designs, read their manuals as well.
• In places prone to strong vibrations.
• Never drop the camera or subject it to severe shocks or vibrations.
• When mounted on a tripod, adjust the position of the camera with the tripod
head. Do not twist the camera.
• Do not touch electric contacts on cameras.
• Do not leave the camera pointed directly at the sun. This may cause lens or
shutter curtain damage, color failure, ghosting on the CCD, or may possibly
cause fires.
• Do not push or pull severely on the lens.
• Before storing the camera for a long period, remove the battery. Select a
cool, dry location for storage to prevent condensation or mold from forming
inside the camera. After storage, test the camera by turning it on and
pressing the shutter release button to make sure that it is operating normally.
• Always observe the operating environment restrictions described in the
camera’s manual.
Battery Handling Precautions

• Olympus NiMH batteries (included in some areas) are intended for use only
with Olympus digital cameras. Never use these batteries with any other
device.
• Always charge NiMH batteries (included in some areas) before using them
for the first time, or if they have not been used for a long period.
• Always charge sets of batteries (included in some areas) (2 or 4) together. 9
• Do not use alkaline batteries unless it is absolutely necessary. In some
Appendix
cases, alkaline batteries may have a shorter service life than NiMH or CR-
V3 lithium battery packs. Alkaline battery performance is limited, especially
at low temperatures. The use of NiMH batteries is recommended.
• AA manganese (Zinc-Carbon) batteries cannot be used with this camera.
• When operating the camera with battery power at low temperatures, try to
keep the camera and spare batteries as warm as possible. Batteries which
run down at low temperatures may be restored after they are warmed at
room temperature.
117
Safety Precautions
• Recommended temperature ranges for NiMH batteries:

Operation ................. 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
Charge ..................... 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
Storage .................... -20°C to 30°C (-4°F to 86°F)
• Using, charging, or storing the batteries outside these ranges could shorten
battery life or affect battery performance. Always unload the batteries from
the camera before storing the camera for a long period.
• Before using NiMH or NiCd batteries, always read the provided instructions.
• The number of pictures you can take may vary depending on the shooting
conditions or batteries.
• Before going on a long trip, and especially before traveling abroad, purchase
an ample supply of extra batteries. The recommended batteries may be
difficult to obtain while traveling.
LCD Monitor
• Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise the image may become vague,
resulting in a Display 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 LCD 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. An LCD monitor exhibiting poor performance due to low temperatures
will recover in normal temperatures.
• The LCD used for the monitor is made with high-precision technology.
However, black spots or bright spots of light may appear constantly on the
LCD Monitor. Due to its characteristics or the angle at which you are viewing
the monitor, the spot may not be uniform in color and brightness. This is not
a malfunction.

Glossary of terms
Aperture
The adjustable lens opening which controls the amount of light that enters the
camera. The larger the aperture, the shorter the depth of field and the fuzzier the
background. The smaller the aperture, the greater the depth of field and the sharper
the background. Larger aperture values indicate smaller apertures, and smaller
aperture values indicate larger apertures.
CCD (Charge-Coupled Device)
This converts light passing through the lens into electrical signals. On this camera,
light is picked up and converted into RGB signals to build a single image.
Contrast Detection Method
This is used to measure the distance to the subject. The camera determines if the
image is focused by the level of contrast in the subject.
Conventional Photograph
This refers to recording images using silver halide (the method for recording images
in conventional, non-digital photography). This system is in contrast to still video and
digital photography.
DCF (Design Rule for Camera File System)
A standard for image files by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology
Industries Association (JEITA).
Digital ESP Light Metering
This determines the exposure by metering and calculating the light levels in the
center and other areas of the image separately.
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)
This is for saving desired print settings on digital cameras. By entering which images
to print and the number of copies of each, the user can easily have the desired
images printed by a printer or print lab that supports the DPOF format.
Eclipsing (Vignetting)
This refers to when an object obscures part of the field of view so that the whole
subject is not photographed. Eclipsing also refers to when the lens barrel obscures
part of the view seen through the viewfinder. In addition, eclipsing can occur when
an incorrect lens hood is used, causing shadowing to appear in the corners of the
image.
EV (Exposure Value) 9
A system for measuring exposure. EV0 is when the aperture is at F1 and the shutter
Appendix
speed is 1 second. The EV then increases by 1 each time the aperture increases by
one F stop or the shutter speed increases by one increment. EV can also be used to
indicate brightness and ISO.
Exposure
The amount of light used to capture an image. The exposure is determined by the
time the shutter is open (shutter speed) and the amount of light that passes through
the lens (aperture).
121
Glossary of terms
Image size
The size of an image expressed by the number of pixels that make up the image. For
instance, a picture taken with an image size of 640 × 480 fills the computer screen
when the monitor setting is 640 × 480. However, if the monitor setting is
1,024 × 768, the picture only takes up part of the screen.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
A compression format for still images. Photographs (images) shot using this camera
are recorded in JPEG format. By downloading these images to a computer, users
can edit them using graphics application software or view the images using an
Internet web browser.
Noise reduction
When shooting in dark places, shutter speeds become slower as there is less light
focused on the CCD. During long exposures, signals are generated by parts of the
CCD where no light is focused and are recorded on the picture as noise. When noise
reduction works, the camera automatically reduces the noise to produce clearer
images.
PictBridge
A standard for connecting digital cameras and printers of different makers and
printing out pictures directly.
Pixels
A pixel is the smallest unit (dot) used to make up an image. Clear large-sized printed
images require millions of pixels.
Sleep Mode
A mode designed to save battery life. The camera automatically enters the sleep
mode if you do not operate it for a certain time. To exit the sleep mode, use any
button on the camera (shutter button, arrow pad, etc.).
TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) Color Monitor
A transistor color monitor constructed using thin-film technology.
TTL (Through-The-Lens) System
To help adjust exposure, a light receptor built into the camera directly measures the
light passing through the lens.
