n

Do not leave the camera unused for a long period of time. This may cause battery leakage and can lead to problems including the growth of mold in the camera. Before using, press the Shutter release button to check operation.

n Do not turn the camera when it is mounted on a tripod. Turn the tripod head instead.

n Do not touch any of the camera’s internal parts.

n Do not use the flash for extended periods as this can cause the flash to become excessively hot. Do not touch the flash when it is hot.

n Do not improperly open or modify the camera, as it may result in a shock or injury.

BATTERY HANDLING n This camera uses four AA NiMH batteries, AA alkaline batteries, AA lithium batteries or AA NiCd batteries. n Performance will be limited with alkaline batteries, especially in low temperatures. NiMH batteries are recommended.

n AA manganese batteries or a CR-V3 lithium battery pack cannot be used.

n Use the batteries correctly. Incorrect use can cause fluid leakage, heat generation, or other damage. When replacing batteries, be sure to load them correctly.

n The batteries may be temporarily disabled when exposed to cold temperatures. Try to keep the camera and batteries warm when using the camera in a cold environment. Batteries that are weak in cold temperatures will be restored under normal temperatures.

n

Sweat, oil, etc. can prevent a battery’s terminals from making electrical contact. To avoid this, wipe both terminals before loading the battery.

n

Keep spare batteries on hand when going on a long trip. New batteries may be difficult or impossible to obtain abroad.

n

When using NiMH batteries or NiCd batteries, make sure to charge them fully with the correct battery charger.

HQ

Note:

• The camera emits pre-flashes before the regular flash.

• It takes about a second before the Shutter is released.

• Performance may be limited when the subject is not looking at the preflashes from right in front of the camera, or due to medication/alcohol intake or individual characteristics.

58

FILL-IN FLASH (FORCED ACTIVATION)

In the Fill-In Flash mode, the flash fires regardless of available light. For example, this mode can be used to brighten up the subject’s shaded face. Another use of this mode is to correct the color shift produced by artificial lights (eg. fluorescent light).

MISCELLANEOUS

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q

How long will the batteries last?

A

Battery life is affected by many variables such as the amount of LCD monitor use, the frequency of flash use, as well as by the kind of battery used and the environmental conditions under which the camera is used. Using the LCD monitor frequently will use up your batteries quickly. Keep the LCD monitor turned off to save power. Use of the optional AC adapter is recommended.

Q

How can I correct the clock in the camera that will be used to record the date on the image data?

A

Date adjustment is not made when the camera is shipped. You can adjust the date either from the camera or from the computer. (p. 30)

Q

How should I store the camera?

A

Cameras are susceptible to damage caused by dust, moisture, and salt. Wipe and dry the camera thoroughly before storing it. After using it at the beach, wipe it with a cloth that has been moistened with fresh water and then wrung out. Do not store in an area where mothballs are used. Unload the batteries if you do not plan to use the camera for a long period.

Q

Why do the subjects’ eyes sometimes appear red in pictures?

A

This “red-eye phenomenon” occurs with all cameras when a flash is used. It is caused by light from the flash reflecting off the retina at the back of the eye. Red-eye varies depending on the individual and the shooting conditions such as ambient lighting. Use of the Red-Eye

Reducing Pre-Flash mode significantly reduces this phenomenon.

188

Q

Can I use a filter or hood?

A

Olympus does not provide one.

Q

Can I use an extension flash?

A

Yes you can. Please see our Internet home page

(http://www.olympus.com).

NOTES ON DISPLAY AND

BACKLIGHT

• The Control panel and the fluorescent lamps used in the LCD monitor have a limited service life. If they begin to darken or flicker, contact your nearest service center.

• In cold conditions, the display backlight may be slow to come on or may change color suddenly. To avoid this, keep the camera warm when using in cold temperatures. Backlight performance will return to normal under normal temperature conditions.

• When the color LCD monitor shows different pictures, some pixels may not change color and remain on or off. This phenomenon may be due to a lag in some circuits, but is considered to be within the normal operating tolerances of the LCD monitor. In addition, the brightness of the color LCD monitor may vary between pictures.
