IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
When using your photographic equipment, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
• Read and understand all instructions before using.
• Close supervision is necessary when any flash is used by or near children. Do not leave
flash unattended while in use.
• Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts.
• Do not operate if the flash has been dropped or damaged - until it has been examined by
qualified service personnel.
• Let flash cool completely before putting away.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse this flash in water or other liquids.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this flash, but take it to qualified

recording
Cautions
• When using a camera with a CMOS image sensor, moving objects may appear distorted
due to the rolling shutter phenomenon. This is a physical phenomenon whereby distortion
occurs in the filmed image when shooting a fast-moving subject or due to camera shaking.
In particular, this phenomenon becomes more noticeable when using a long focal length.
• If the camera is used for extended periods, the temperature of the image pickup device
will rise and noise and colored fog may appear in images. Turn off the camera for a short
time. Noise and colored fog may also appear in images recorded at high ISO sensitivity
settings. If the temperature rises further, the camera will turn off automatically.
• When using a Four Thirds system lens, the AF will not operate while recording movies.
• The R button cannot be used to record movies in the following instances:
Multiple exposure (still photography also ends.)/shutter button pressed halfway/during
bulb, time or composite photography/sequential shooting/Panorama/SCN mode
(e-Portrait, Hand-Held Starlight, 3D)/time lapse shooting
20 EN
Taking photographs during movie recording (Movie+Photo Mode)
• Press the shutter button during movie recording to record one of the frames of the movie
as a photograph (mode1). To end movie recording, press the R button. The photograph
and movie files will be recorded separately to the memory card. The record mode of the
photographs will be XN (16:9).
• There is also a way of recording a photograph of a higher quality (mode2). In mode2, the
movie footage from before and after the photograph is recorded in separate files.
g [Movie+Photo Mode] (P. 92)
2
Cautions
Shooting
• In mode2 and certain shooting modes, it is only possible to capture a single-frame as a
picture during recording. Other shooting functions may also be limited.
• The autofocus and metering used in movie mode may differ from that used to take
photographs.
• If the record mode for the movie is Motion JPEG (H or I), the camera is set to mode2.
EN 21
Using the touch screen
You can use the touch screen during playback or when framing pictures in the monitor.
Cautions
• The situations in which touch screen operations are not available include the following.
Panorama/3D/e-portrait/multiple exposure/during bulb, time or live composite
2 photography/one-touch white balance dialog/when buttons or dials are in use
• Do not touch the display with your fingernails or other sharp objects.

[LIVECOMP].
Cautions
• Even when you have set [Noise Reduct.], noise and/or light spots may still be noticeable
in the image displayed on the monitor and shot images under certain environmental
conditions (temperature etc.) and camera settings.
Noise in images
While shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on screen. These phenomena
occur when the temperature rises in the image pickup device or image pickup device
internal drive circuit, causing current to be generated in those sections of the image pickup
device that are not normally exposed to light. This can also occur when shooting with a
high ISO setting in a high-temperature environment. To reduce this noise, the camera
activates the noise reduction function. g [Noise Reduct.] (P. 88)
Choosing long exposures (bulb/time photography)

Use for night landscapes and fireworks. In M mode, set the shutter speed to [BULB] or
[LIVE TIME].
Bulb photography (BULB): The shutter remains open while the shutter button is pressed.
The exposure ends when the shutter button is released.
Time photography (TIME): The exposure begins when the shutter button is pressed all
the way down. To end the exposure, press the shutter button
all the way down again.
• During bulb, time, or live composite photography, the screen brightness changes
automatically. g “BULB/TIME Monitor” (P. 89)
• When using [LIVE TIME], the progress of the exposure will be displayed in the monitor
during shooting. The display can also be refreshed by pressing the shutter button halfway.
• [Live BULB] (P. 89) can be used to display the image exposure during bulb photography.
EN 35
Cautions
• There are limits on the available ISO sensitivity settings.
• To reduce camera blur, mount the camera on a sturdy tripod and use a remote cable (P. 127).
• During shooting, there are limits on the settings for the following functions.
Sequential shooting/self-timer shooting/interval shooting/AE bracket shooting/image
stabilizer/flash bracketing/multiple exposure* etc.
*When an option other than [Off] is selected for [Live BULB] or [Live TIME] (P. 89)
Comparative bright composites (live composite photography)

You can record a composite image from multiple shots while observing changes in
bright flashes of light, such as fireworks and stars, without changing the brightness of
the background.
4 1 Set an exposure time to be the reference in [Composite Settings] (P. 89).
2 In M mode, set the shutter speed to [LIVECOMP].

Basic operations
• When the shutter speed is set to [LIVECOMP], you can display the [Composite
Settings] by pressing the MENU button.
3 Press the shutter button once to prepare for shooting.

• You can shoot when a message that indicates preparations are complete is displayed
in the monitor.

External flash units designated for use with this camera
With this camera, you can use one of the separately sold external flash units to
achieve a flash suited to your needs. The external flashes communicate with the
camera, allowing you to control the camera’s flash modes with various available flash
control modes, such as TTL-AUTO and Super FP flash. An external flash unit specified
for use with this camera can be mounted on the camera by attaching it to the camera’s
hot shoe. You can also attach the flash to the flash bracket on the camera using the
bracket cable (optional). Refer to the documentation provided with the external flash
units as well.
The upper limit of the shutter speed is 1/200 sec. when using a flash*.

Cautions
• We recommend using a single group of up to three remote flash units.
• Remote flash units cannot be used for second curtain slow synchronization or anti-shock 11
exposures longer than 4 seconds.
• If the subject is too close to the camera, the control flashes emitted by the camera flash

may affect exposure (this effect can be reduced by reducing the output of the camera
flash by, for example, using a diffuser).
• The upper limit of flash synchronization timing is 1/160 sec. when using the flash in RC
mode.
EN 125
Other external flash units
Note the following when using a third-party flash unit mounted on the camera hot shoe:
• Using obsolete flash units that apply currents of more than about 24 V to the X-contact will
damage the camera.
• Connecting flash units with signal contacts that do not conform to Olympus specifications
may damage the camera.
• Set the Shooting mode to M, set the shutter speed to a value no higher than flash
synchronous speed, and set ISO sensitivity to a setting other than [AUTO].
• Flash control can only be performed by manually setting the flash to the ISO sensitivity
and aperture values selected with the camera. Flash brightness can be adjusted by
adjusting either ISO sensitivity or aperture.
• Use a flash with an angle of illumination suited to the lens. Angle of illumination is usually
expressed using 35-mm format equivalent focal lengths.

Shooting tips and information
The camera does not turn on even when a battery is loaded

The battery is not fully charged
• Charge the battery with the charger.
The battery is temporarily unable to function because of the cold
• Battery performance drops at low temperatures. Remove the battery and warm it by
putting it in your pocket for a while.
No picture is taken when the shutter button is pressed

The camera has turned off automatically
• The camera automatically enters sleep mode to reduce the drain on the battery if no
operations are performed for a set period of time. g [Sleep] (P. 88)
If no operations are performed for a set time (about 5 minutes) after the camera has
entered sleep mode, the camera will turn off automatically.
The flash is charging
• On the monitor, the # mark blinks when charging is in progress. Wait for the blinking to
stop, then press the shutter button.
Unable to focus
• The camera cannot focus on subjects that are too close to the camera or that are not
suited to autofocus (the AF confirmation mark will blink in the monitor). Increase the
distance to the subject or focus on a high contrast object at the same distance from the
camera as your main subject, compose the shot, and shoot.

Noise reduction is activated
• When shooting night scenes, shutter speeds are slower and noise tends to appear in
images. The camera activates the noise-reduction process after shooting at slow shutter
speeds. During which, shooting is not allowed. You can set [Noise Reduct.] to [Off].
g [Noise Reduct.] (P. 88)
The number of AF targets is reduced

The number and size of AF targets varies with group target settings and the option selected
for [Digital Tele-converter] and [Image Aspect].
The date and time has not been set

The camera is used with the settings at the time of purchase
• The date and time of the camera is not set when purchased. Set the date and time before
using the camera. g “Setting the date/time” (P. 16)
The battery has been removed from the camera
• The date and time settings will be returned to the factory default settings if the camera is
left without the battery for approximately 1 day. The settings will be cancelled more quickly
if the battery was only loaded in the camera for a short time before being removed. Before
taking important pictures, check that the date and time settings are correct.
Set functions are restored to their factory default settings

When you rotate the mode dial or turn off the power in a shooting mode other than P, A,
S, or M, functions with changes made to their settings are restored to the factory default
settings.
Image taken appears whitish

This may occur when the picture is taken in backlight or semi-backlight conditions. This is
due to a phenomenon called flare or ghosting. As far as possible, consider a composition
where strong light source is not taken in the picture. Flare may occur even when a light
source is not present in the picture. Use a lens hood to shade the lens from the light source.
If a lens hood does not have effect, use your hand to shade the lens from the light. 12
g “Interchangeable lenses” (P. 118)
Unknown bright dot(s) appear on the subject in the picture taken Information
This may be due to stuck pixel(s) on the image pickup device. Perform [Pixel Mapping].
If the problem persists, repeat pixel mapping a few times. g “Pixel Mapping - Checking the
image processing functions” (P. 135)

Cleaning and storing the camera
Cleaning the camera

Turn off the camera and remove the battery before cleaning the camera.
Exterior:
• Wipe gently with a soft cloth. If the camera is very dirty, soak the cloth in mild soapy water
and wring well. Wipe the camera with the damp cloth and then dry it with a dry cloth. If you
have used the camera at the beach, use a cloth soaked in clean water and well wrung.
Monitor:
• Wipe gently with a soft cloth.
Lens:
• Blow dust off the lens with a commercially available blower. For the lens, wipe gently with
a lens cleaning paper.
Storage
• When not using the camera for a prolonged period, remove the battery and card. Store
the camera in a cool, dry place that is well ventilated.
• Insert the battery periodically and test the camera’s functions.
• Remove dust and other foreign matter from the body and rear caps before attaching them.
• Attach the body cap to the camera to prevent dust from getting inside when no lens is
attached. Be sure to replace the front and rear lens caps before putting the lens away.
• Clean the camera after use.
• Do not store with insect repellent.
Cleaning and checking the image pickup device

This camera incorporates a dust reduction function to keep dust from getting on the
image pickup device and to remove any dust or dirt from the image pickup device
surface with ultrasonic vibrations. The dust reduction function operates when the
12 camera is turned on.
The dust reduction function operates at the same time as the pixel mapping, which
Information
checks the image pickup device and image processing circuitry. Since dust reduction
is activated every time the camera’s power is turned on, the camera should be held
upright for the dust reduction function to be effective.
Cautions
• Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or alcohol, or a chemically treated cloth.
• Avoid storing the camera in places where chemicals are treated, in order to protect the
camera from corrosion.
• Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left dirty.
• Check each part of the camera before use if it has not been used for a long time. Before
taking important pictures, be sure to take a test shot and check that the camera works
properly.
134 EN
Pixel Mapping - Checking the image processing functions
The pixel mapping feature allows the camera to check and adjust the image pickup
device and image processing functions. After using the monitor or taking continuous
shots, wait for at least one minute before using the pixel mapping function to ensure
that it operates correctly.
