button to end recording. Three files will be recorded to the memory card: the movie
footage preceding the photograph, the photograph itself, and the movie footage following
the photograph.

flash can not be used.
# Cautions
• Image size and quality for photographs are independent of movie frame size.
• The autofocus and metering used in movie mode may differ from that used to take
photographs.
• The R button can not be used to record movies in the following instances:
shutter button pressed halfway/during bulb or time photography/Sequential shooting/
PANORAMA/3D/multiple exposure, etc. (still photography also ends)

Setting the image aspect
You can change the aspect ratio (horizontal-to-vertical ratio) when taking pictures
using live view. Depending on your preference, you can set the aspect ratio to [4:3]
(standard), [16:9], [3:2], [1:1], or [3:4].
Display the super control panel or live control and select the aspect ratio
item.
1
Use the sub dial to choose a setting.
2
# Cautions
• JPEG images are cropped to the selected aspect ratio; RAW images, however, are not
cropped but are instead saved with information on the selected aspect ratio.
• When RAW images are played back, the selected aspect ratio is shown by a frame.
% Tips
For information on cropping existing photographs or changing their aspect ratio, see “Editing
still images” (P. 72).
ISO sensitivity
Increasing ISO sensitivity increases noise (graininess) but allows photographs to be
taken when lighting is poor. The setting recommended in most situations is [AUTO],
which starts at ISO 200 — a value that balances noise and dynamic range — and then
adjusts ISO sensitivity according to shooting conditions.
Display the super control panel or live control and select the ISO
sensitivity item.

# Cautions
• The confirmation display is not available during sequential shooting at frame rates under 5
fps. At rates of 5 fps or above, the last photo taken will be displayed during shooting.
• During sequential shooting, if the battery check blinks due to low battery, the camera
stops shooting and starts saving the pictures you have taken on the card. The camera
may not save all of the pictures depending on how much battery power remains.
• Display quality may drop during sequential shooting. Filter effects are not reflected in the
display.
• Fix the camera securely on a tripod for self-timer shooting.
• If you stand in front of the camera to press the shutter button halfway when using the self-
timer, the photograph may be out of focus.

# Cautions
• ISO sensitivity can be set to values between ISO 200 and 1600 for live bulb and live time
photography.
• To reduce camera blur during long exposures, mount the camera on a tripod and use a
remote cable (P. 106).
• The following features are not available during long exposures:

flash bracketing/multiple exposure
* An option other than [Off] is selected for [Live BULB] or [Live TIME].
Noise in images
While shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on-screen. These phenomena
are caused when current is generated in those sections of the image pickup device that
are not normally exposed to light, resulting in a rise in temperature in the image pickup
device or image pickup device drive circuit. 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. [Noise Reduct.] (P. 89)

Optional external flash units designated for use with this camera support a wide variety
of options for flash photography, including automatic flash control, super FP, and
wireless flash control (P. 97).
Other external flash units
Observe the following precautions when mounting an external flash unit not designated
for use with this camera on the camera hot shoe:
• Using obsolete flash units that apply currents of more than about 24V to the camera hot
shoe X-contact will damage the camera.
• Connecting flash units with signal contacts that do not conform to Olympus specifications
may damage the camera.
• Use only with the camera in shooting mode M at shutter speeds slower than 1/180s and
at ISO settings 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.

# Cautions
• When recording a movie, you cannot change the settings for exposure compensation,
aperture value, and shutter speed.
• If [Image Stabilizer] is activated while recording a movie, the recorded image is enlarged
slightly. Even if [Vertical IS] or [Horizontal IS] is selected, the setting for [Auto] is applied.
• Stabilization is not possible when the camera shake is excessive.
• When using a lens with the image stabilizer function, turn off the image stabilizer function
of either the lens or the camera.
• When the inside of the camera becomes hot, shooting is automatically stopped to protect
the camera.
• With some art filters, [C-AF] operation is limited.
• Cards with an SD speed class of 6 or above are recommended for movie recording.

# Cautions
• We recommend using a single group of up to three remote flash units.
• Remote flash units can not be used for second curtain slow synchronization or anti-shock
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 (The effect can be moderated by reducing the output of the camera
flash using a diffuser or other similar techniques).

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.] (P. 89) to [Off].
The number of AF targets is reduced.
The number and size of AF targets varies with aspect ratio, group target settings, and the
option selected for [Digital Tele-converter].
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. 9)
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. g
“Interchangeable lenses” (P. 104)
11
Unknown bright dot(s) appear on the subject in the picture taken
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.

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 and viewfinder:
• 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
camera is turned on.
The dust reduction function operates at the same time as the pixel mapping, which
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.
11
# 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.
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.

In this manual, all storage devices are referred to as “cards.” The
following types of SD memory card (commercially available) can be
used with this camera: SD, SDHC, SDXC, and Eye-Fi. For the latest
information, please visit the Olympus website.
SD card write protect switch
The SD card body has a write protect switch. If you set the switch to
LOCK
the “LOCK” side, you will not be able to write to the card, delete data or
format. Return the switch to the unlock position enable writing.
# Cautions
• The data in the card will not be erased completely even after formatting the card or
deleting the data. When discarding, destroy the card to prevent leakage of personal
information.
• Use the Eye-Fi card in compliance with the laws and regulations of the country where the
camera is used.
• In locations such as on an airplane, where the Eye-Fi communication is prohibited,
remove the Eye-Fi card from the camera, or set [Eye-Fi] (P. 93) to [Off].
• The Eye-Fi card may became hot during use.
11
• When using an Eye-Fi card, the battery may run out faster.
• When using an Eye-Fi card, the camera may function more slowly.
Formatting the card
Cards formatted on a computer or other camera must be formatted with the camera
before they can be used.
All data stored on the card, including protected images, is erased when the card is
formatted. When formatting a used card, confirm there are no images that you still
want to keep on the card.

Battery and charger
• Use the single Olympus lithium-ion battery. Use only genuine OLYMPUS rechargeable
batteries.
• The camera’s power consumption varies widely with usage and other conditions.
• As the following consume a lot of power even without shooting, the battery will be drained
quickly.
• Performing auto focus repeatedly by pressing the shutter button halfway in shooting
mode.
• Displaying images on the monitor for a prolonged period.
• When connected to a computer or printer.
• When using a drained battery, the camera may turn off without the low battery warning
being displayed.
• The battery will not be fully charged at the time of purchase. Charge the battery using the
provided charger before use.
• The normal charging time using the provided charger is approximately 4 hours
(estimated).
• Do not attempt to use chargers not specifically designated for use with the supplied
battery, or to use batteries not specifically designated for use with the supplied charger.
# Cautions
• There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with the incorrect battery type.
Dispose of the used battery following the instructions. “Battery Handling Precautions”
(P. 119)
Using an optional AC adapter
The camera can be connected to an optional AC-3 AC adapter via a power battery
holder (HLD-6). Other adapters can not be used. The power cable supplied with the AC
adapter can not be used with other products.
Using your charger abroad
11
• The charger can be used in most home electrical sources within the range of 100V to
240V 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 charger may require a plug
adapter to match the wall outlet. For details, ask at your local electrical shop or travel
agent.
• Do not use commercially available travel adapters as the charger may malfunction.
Interchangeable lenses
Choose a lens according to the scene and your creative intent. Use
lenses designed exclusively for the Micro Four Thirds system and
bearing the M. ZUIKO label or the symbol shown at right. With an
adapter, you can also use Four Thirds System and OM System lenses.
# Cautions
• When you attach or remove the body cap and lens from the camera, keep the lens mount
on the camera pointed downward. This helps prevent dust and other foreign matter from
getting inside the camera.
• Do not remove the body cap or attach the lens in dusty places.
104 EN
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
• Do not point the lens attached to the camera toward the sun. This may cause the camera
to malfunction or even ignite due to the magnifying effect of sunlight focusing through the
lens.
• Be careful not to lose the body cap and rear cap.

Do not use the charger if it is covered (such
as a blanket). This could cause overheating,
resulting in fire.
WARNING
Keep batteries dry at all times.
To prevent batteries from leaking,
overheating, or causing a fire or explosion,
use only batteries recommended for use with
this product.
•
•
•
Handle the camera with care to avoid
getting a low-temperature burn.
When the camera contains metal parts,
overheating can result in a low-temperature
burn. Pay attention to the following:
•
•
Insert the battery carefully as described in the
operating instructions.
• When used for a long period, the camera
will get hot. If you hold on to the camera
in this state, a low temperature burn may
be caused.
If rechargeable batteries have not been
recharged within the specified time, stop
charging them and do not use them.
• In places subject to extremely cold
temperatures, the temperature of the
camera's body may be lower than the
environmental temperature. If possible,
wear gloves when handling the camera in
cold temperatures.

•
If a battery leaks fluid onto your clothing
or skin, remove the clothing and flush the
affected area with clean, running cold water
immediately. If the fluid burns your skin, seek
medical attention immediately.
•
Be careful with the strap.
Be careful with the strap when you carry
the camera. It could easily catch on stray
objects - and cause serious damage.
Never subject batteries to strong shocks or
continuous vibration.

•
This camera uses a lithium ion battery
specified by Olympus. Do not use any other
type of battery. For safe and proper use, read
the battery's instruction manual carefully
before using it.
•
•
•
Do not allow direct sunlight into the
viewfinder. Failure to observe this precaution
may result in image burn-in.
Do not touch electric contacts on cameras
and interchangeable lenses. Remember to
attach the body cap when removing the lens.
•
•
•
If the battery's terminals get wet or greasy,
camera contact failure may result. Wipe the
battery well with a dry cloth before use.
Before storing the camera for a long period,
remove the battery. 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 release button to make
sure that it is operating normally.
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 temperature.
•
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.
•
•
The number of pictures you can take may
vary depending on 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.
•
•
Always observe the operating environment
restrictions described in the camera's
manual.
Do not directly touch or wipe the image
pickup device of the camera.
•
•
When the camera will not be used for an
extended period, store it in a cool place.
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.
Monitor
An organic electro-luminescent display is used
on the rear of the camera.
•
•
Prolonged display of a single image may
burn the image into the display, resulting in
decreased brightness or mottling in some
areas of the monitor. In some cases this
effect may be permanent. Image data are not
affected.
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:
In the unlikely event of the monitor breaking,
do not put the organic substance into your
mouth. Any of the material adhering to your
hands, feet, or clothing should be rinsed off
immediately.
• 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.
12
•
•
A strip of light may appear on the top/bottom
of the monitor, but this is not a malfunction.
• In sandy or dusty environments.
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.
• 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 subject to low temperatures, the
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 monitor exhibiting poor
performance due to low temperatures will
recover in normal temperatures.
• In places prone to strong vibrations.
•
•
Never drop the camera or subject it to severe
shocks or vibrations.
When mounted on a tripod, adjust the
position of the camera with the tripod head.
Do not twist the camera.
•
Do not leave the camera pointed directly
at the sun. This may cause lens or shutter
curtain damage, color failure, ghosting on
the image pickup device, or may possibly
cause fires.
•
The monitor is made with high-precision
technology. However, black spots or bright
spots of light may appear constantly on the
