Instruction Manual
Thank you for purchasing an Olympus digital camera. Before you start to use your new camera, please read these instructions carefully to enjoy optimum performance and a longer service life. We recommend that you take test shots to get accustomed to your camera before taking important photographs.

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 final image.
Battery performance may have been reduced
temporarily due to low temperature. Take the batteries out of the camera, and warm them by putting them in your pocket for a while.
"The light is caught in the picture".
Shooting with flash in dark situations results in
an image with many flash reflections on dust in the air.

"Error message" (p. 43)
Date and time function
"Date and time settings return to the default setting".
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 setting, and must be reset. *2 The time until the date and time settings return to the default setting varies depending on how long the batteries have been loaded. 12)
Shutter button
"No picture is taken when the shutter button is pressed".
Cancel sleep mode.
To save battery power, the camera automatically goes into sleep mode and the monitor turns off if there is no operation for 3 minutes when the camera is turned on. No picture is taken even if the shutter button is fully pressed in this mode. Operate the zoom buttons or other buttons to restore the camera from sleep mode before taking a picture. If the camera is left for another 12 minutes, it automatically turns off. Press the n button to turn the camera on.
Miscellaneous
"The camera makes a noise when taking pictures".
The camera may activate the lens and make a
noise even if no operation is performed. This is because the camera automatically performs actions of auto focus as far as it is ready to shoot.
Press the q button to switch to the shooting
mode.
Wait until #(flash charge) stops blinking before
taking pictures.
