“ISO” is short for “International Organization for

cameras and fi lm, thus codes such as “ISO 100” are used to
represent sensitivity.
In the ISO setting, although smaller values result in less
sensitivity, sharp images can be taken under fully lit conditions.
Larger values result in higher sensitivity, and images can be taken
at fast shutter speeds even under low light conditions. However,
high sensitivity introduces noise into the resulting picture, which
may give it a grainy appearance.

MonitorMonitor“Diffi cult to see”.
Condensation*1 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.*1 Dew drops can
form in the camera when it is
suddenly taken from a cold location into a warm, humid room.
“Vertical lines appear on the screen”.This condition may occur
when the camera is pointed at an extremely bright subject under a
clear sky and so on. The lines do not appear, however, in the fi
nal image.
“The light is caught in the picture”.Shooting with fl ash in
dark situations results in an image with many fl ash refl ections
on dust in the air.

If the batteries are removed and left out of the camera for
about a day*2, the date and time settings return to the default

Shooting tipsWhen you are unsure of how to take a picture that
you envision, refer to the information below.
Focusing
“Focusing on the subject”Taking a picture of a subject not in
the center of the screenAfter focusing on an object at the same
distance as the subject, compose the shot, and take the
picture.Pressing the shutter button halfway (p. 20)Set [AF Mode]
(p. 35) to [Face/iESP]Taking a picture in [AF Tracking] mode (p.
35)The camera tracks the subject movement automatically to focus on
it continuously.Taking a picture of subjects where autofocus is
diffi cultIn 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.
Subjects with low contrast

camera vertically to focus, and then returning to the horizontal
position to take the picture.
When objects are at different distances
Fast-moving object
The subject is not in the center of the frame
Camera shake
“Taking pictures without camera shake”Taking pictures using N
mode (p. 26)Select C (Sport) in s mode (p. 26)The C (Sport) mode
uses a fast shutter speed and can reduce the blur incurred by a
moving subject.Taking pictures at a high ISO sensitivityIf a high
ISO sensitivity is selected, pictures can be taken at a high
shutter speed even at locations where a fl ash cannot be
used.“Selecting the ISO sensitivity” (p. 32)
Exposure (brightness)
“Taking pictures with the right brightness”Taking pictures using
[Fill In] (p. 30) fl ashA subject against backlight is
brightened.Taking pictures using exposure compensation (p.
31)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. 32)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 artifi cial light settings, and so
on.)
Image quality
“Taking sharper pictures”Taking pictures with the optical
zoomAvoid using digital zoom (p. 21, 36) to take pictures.Taking
pictures at a low ISO sensitivityIf 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. The resulting image is grainier than with
low ISO sensitivity as well.“Selecting the ISO sensitivity” (p.

Battery/USB-AC adapterWipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.
Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or alcohol, or
chemically treated cloth.
Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left dirty.
StorageWhen storing the camera for extended periods, remove the
battery, USB-AC adapter and card, and keep in a cool, dry place
that is well ventilated.Periodically insert the battery and test
the camera functions.
Avoid leaving the camera in places where chemical products are
handled since this may result in corrosion.

The battery and USB-AC adapterThis camera uses one Olympus
lithium ion battery (LI-70B). No other type of batteries can be
used.
Caution:There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced
with the incorrect battery type.Dispose of the used battery
following the instructions. (p. 66)
Power consumption by the camera varies depending on which
functions are used.During the conditions described below, power is
consumed continuously and the battery becomes exhausted
quickly.
The zoom is used repeatedly.The shutter button is pressed
halfway repeatedly in shooting mode, activating the auto focus.A
picture is displayed on the monitor for an extended period of
time.The camera is connected to a printer.
Using an exhausted battery may cause the camera to turn off
without displaying the battery level warning.The rechargeable
battery is not fully charged at the time of purchase. Use the
supplied F-2AC USB-AC adapter (hereafter referred to as USB-AC
adapter) to charge the battery before use.When the included USB-AC
adapter is used, charging usually takes approximately 3 hours
(varies on usage).The supplied USB-AC adapter is for charging and
playback only. Do not take pictures while the USB-AC adapter is
connected to the camera. The camera cannot playback without the
battery even when connected to the USB-AC adapter.

adapter:The included USB-AC adapter is intended to be correctly
orientated in a vertical or fl oor mount position.
Using your USB-AC adapter abroadThe USB-AC adapter can be used
in most home electrical sources within the range of 100 V to 240 V
AC (50/60Hz) around the world. However, depending on the country or
area you are in, the AC wall outlet may be shaped differently and
the USB-AC adapter may require a plug adapter to match the wall
outlet. For details, ask at your local electrical shop or travel
agent.Do not use travel voltage converters as they could damage
your USB-AC adapter.

Using an SD/SDHC memory cardA card (and internal memory) also

Otherwise, the recorded images (data) can be erased, and retouching
is also available with the use of a computer. Cards can be removed
from the camera and exchanged, but this is not possible with the
internal memory. Use of larger capacity cards enables you to take
more pictures.
