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”
● Taking a picture of a subject not in the center
of the screen
After 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. 41) to [Face/iESP]
● Taking a picture in [AF Tracking] mode (p. 41)
The camera tracks the subject movement
automatically to focus on it continuously.
● 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.
Subjects with low contrast
When extremely bright objects
appear in the center of the screen
62
EN
Object with no vertical lines*1
*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.
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 [Image Stabilizer] (p. 42)
When a picture is taken of a shadowed subject,
the CCD*1 shifts to correct for camera shake even
if the ISO speed is not increased. This function is
also effective when taking pictures at a high zoom
magnification.
*1
A device that takes light received through the
lens and converts it into electric signals.
● Shooting movies using [IS Movie Mode] (p. 42)
● Select [C Sport] in the scene mode (p. 29)
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 sensitivity
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.
“Selecting the ISO sensitivity” (p. 37)
Exposure (brightness)
“Taking pictures with the right brightness”
● Taking pictures of a subject against a backlight
Faces or backgrounds are bright even when shot
against backlight.
[Shadow Adjust] (p. 41)
● Taking pictures using [Face/iESP] (p. 41)
Appropriate exposure is obtained for a face against
backlight, and the face is brightened.
● Taking pictures using [n] for [ESP/n]
(p. 41)
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] (p. 34) flash
A subject against backlight is brightened.
● Taking pictures of a white beach or snow scene
Set the mode to [q Beach & Snow], [a Snow]*
(p. 29).
*
TG-610 only
● Taking pictures using exposure compensation
(p. 36)
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. 37)
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 with the optical zoom
Avoid using digital zoom (p. 42) to take pictures.
● Taking pictures at a low ISO sensitivity
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.
“Selecting the ISO sensitivity” (p. 37)
Panorama
“Taking pictures so that the frames are stitched
smoothly”
● A tip for panoramic shooting
Taking pictures by pivoting with the camera at the
center prevents shifting of the image. When taking
pictures of close objects in particular, pivoting with
the lens end at the center produces favorable
results.
[Panorama] (p. 30)

Batteries
“Making batteries last longer”
● Avoid any of the following operations when not
actually taking pictures because they deplete
the battery power
● Repeatedly pressing the shutter button
halfway.
● Repeatedly using the zoom.

Important information about water
and shock resistant features
Water resistance: The waterproof feature is warranted*1 to
operate at the following depths for up to one hour.
TG-310: 3 m (9.8 ft.)
TG-610: 5 m (16.4 ft.)
The waterproof feature may be compromised if the camera is
subject to substantial or excessive impact.
Shock resistance: The anti-shock feature warrants*2 the
operation of the camera against accidental impact incurred from
everyday use of your digital compact camera. The anti-shock
feature does not unconditionally warrant all defective operation
or cosmetic damage. Cosmetic damage, such as scratches and
dents, are not covered under the warranty.
As with any electronic device, proper care and maintenance are
required to preserve the integrity and operation of your camera.
To maintain camera performance, please take your camera
to the nearest Olympus Authorized Service Center to have it
inspected after any major impact. In the event the camera is
damaged as a result of negligence or misuse, the warranty will
not cover costs associated with the service or repair of your
camera. For additional information on our warranty, please visit
to the Olympus website for your local area.
Please observe the following care instructions for your camera.
*1 As determined by Olympus pressure testing equipment
in accordance with IEC Standard Publication 529 IPX8 This means that the camera can be used normally under
water at a specified water pressure.
*2 This anti-shock performance is confirmed by Olympus’
testing conditions in accordance with MIL-STD-810F,
Method 516.5, Procedure IV (Transit Drop Test). For
more details of Olympus’ testing conditions, please refer
to the Olympus website for your local area.
Before Use:
• Check the camera for foreign material including dirt, dust or
sand.
• Be sure to close the battery/card/connector cover firmly so that
lock makes the clicking sound.
• Do not open the battery/card/connector cover with wet hands,
while under water, or in a damp or dusty environment (e.g.
beach).
EN
69
After Use:
• Be sure to wipe off any excess water or debris after using the
camera under water.
• After the camera is used under seawater, immerse the camera in
a bucket containing fresh water for about 10 minutes (with the
battery/card/connector cover firmly closed). After that, dry the
camera in the shade with good ventilation.
• Water drops may be observed on the inner surface of the
battery/card/connector cover after you open the cover. If any
water drops are found, be sure to wipe them off before using
the camera.
• Do not leave the camera in water for a long time. Prolonged
exposure to water will cause damage to the camera’s appearance
and/or deteriorate water resistance.
• In order to preserve the water resistant feature, as with any
underwater housing, it is recommended that the waterproof
packing (and seals) are replaced annually.
For the Olympus distributors or service stations where the
waterproof packing can be replaced, visit Olympus website for
your local area.
Closing Battery/card/connector cover
Notes after use
• Foreign materials may be attached to the camera when
using the camera in conditions with foreign materials such as
dirt, dust or sand. If you continue to use the camera in such
conditions, it could cause damage to the camera. To avoid
such damage, wash the camera using the following method.
1 Insert the battery and close the battery/card/
connector cover firmly so that lock makes the
clicking sound.
2 Fill a bucket or other container with fresh water,
immerse the camera facing downward in the
bucket and shake the camera thoroughly. Or rinse
the camera by placing it directly under a strong
stream of tap water.
Battery/card/connector cover
The included accessories (e.g. USB-AC adapter) do
not offer shock or water resistance.
Storage and Maintenance
• Do not leave the camera in an environment at high
temperature (40°C (104°F) or more) or at low temperature
(-10°C (14°F) or less). Failure to do so may break down water
resistance.

Handling the Camera
WARNING
• Do not use the camera near flammable or explosive gases.
• Do not use the flash and LED (including AF illuminator) on
people (infants, small children, etc.) at close range.
• You must be at least 1 m (3 ft.) away from the faces of your
subjects. Firing the flash too close to the subject’s eyes could
cause a momentary loss of vision.
• Keep young children and infants away from the camera.
• Always use and store the camera out of the reach of young
children and infants to prevent the following dangerous
situations which could cause serious injury:
• Becoming entangled in the camera strap, causing
strangulation.
• Accidentally swallowing the battery, cards or other small
parts.
• Accidentally firing the flash into their own eyes or those of
another child.
• Accidentally being injured by the moving parts of the
camera.
• Do not look at the sun or strong lights with the camera.
• Do not use or store the camera in dusty or humid places.
• Do not cover the flash with a hand while firing.

contact an authorized distributor or service center. Do not try to
remove the card by force.
CAUTION
• Stop using the camera immediately if you notice any unusual
odors, noise, or smoke around it.
• Never remove the batteries with bare hands, which may
cause a fire or burn your hands.
EN
71
• Do not leave the camera in places where it may be subject to
extremely high temperatures.
• Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate and, in some
circumstances, cause the camera to catch fire. Do not use
the charger or USB-AC adapter if it is covered (such as a

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 the camera is mounted on or removed from a tripod,
adjust the position of the camera using the tripod head. Do not
twist the camera.
• When carrying the camera, remove all accessories other
than genuine Olympus accessories, such as a tripod (sold
separately).
• 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
batteries. 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 button to make sure that it is operating normally.
• The camera may malfunction if it is used in a location where
it is subject to a magnetic/electromagnetic field, radio waves,
or high voltage, such as near a TV set, microwave, video
game, loud speakers, large monitor unit, TV/radio tower, or
transmission towers. In such cases, turn the camera off and on
again before further operation.
• Always observe the operating environment restrictions
described in the camera’s manual.
Battery Handling Precautions
• This camera uses a lithium ion battery specified by Olympus.
Do not use any other type of battery.
• If the battery’s terminals get wet or greasy, camera contact
failure may result. Wipe the battery well with a dry cloth
before use.
• Always charge a battery when using it for the first time, or if it
has not been used for a long period.
• When operating the camera with battery power at low
temperatures, try to keep the camera and spare battery
as warm as possible. A battery that has run down at low
temperatures may be restored after it is warmed at room

the shooting conditions or battery.
• Before going on a long trip, and especially before traveling
abroad, purchase extra batteries. A recommended battery may
be difficult to obtain while traveling.
• When storing the battery for a long period, select a cool
location for storage.
• Please recycle batteries to help save our planet’s resources.
When you throw away dead batteries, be sure to cover their
terminals and always observe local laws and regulations.
LCD 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 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.
