# Caut i ons
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 lmed 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.
Tak i ng phot ogr aphs dur i ng movi e r ec or di ng
Press the shutter button during movie recording to pause movie recording and take a
photograph. Movie recording restarts after the photograph is taken. Press the R button
to end recording. Three les will be recorded to the memory card: the movie footage
preceding the photograph, the photograph itself, and the movie footage following the
photograph.
Only one photograph can be taken at a time during movie recording; the self-timer and
ash cannot be used.
# Caut i ons
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 cannot be used to record movies in the following instances:

[Live BULB] (P. 94) can be used to display the image exposure during bulb photography.
# Caut i ons
ISO sensitivity can be set to a value up to ISO 1600 for live bulb and live time

To reduce camera blur during long exposures, mount the camera on a tripod and use a
remote cable (P. 133).
The following features are not available during long exposures:
Sequential shooting/self-timer shooting/AE bracket shooting/image stabilizer/

* An option other than [Off] is selected for [Live BULB] or [Live TIME] (P. 94).
Even when [Noise Reduct.] is in use, noise may be noticeable in the image displayed on
the monitor during shooting.
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. 93)

One-touch white balance
Measure white balance by framing a piece of paper or other white object under the lighting
that will be used in the nal photograph. This is useful when shooting a subject under natural
light, as well as under various light sources with different color temperatures.
1
Prepare a neutral-colored paper, such as white or gray.
Frame the object so that it lls the display and no shadows fall it.
2
Shoot while pressing the Y (one-touch white balance) button.
You can also shoot after selecting P, Q, W, or X from the white balance
options screen and then pressing I NFO.
3
Select from P, Q, W, or X and register.
If it is already selected in the white balance menu, select [Yes] and press the Q
button.
The new value is saved as a preset white balance option.
The new value is stored until one-touch white balance is measured again. Turning the
power off does not erase the data.
% Ti ps
If the subject is too bright or too dark or visibly tinted, the message [WB NG Retry] will be
displayed and no value will be recorded. Correct the problem and repeat the process from
Step 1.
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.

External ash units designated for use with this camera
With this camera, you can use one of the separately sold external ash units to
achieve a ash suited to your needs. The external ashes communicate with the
camera, allowing you to control the cameras ash modes with various available ash
control modes, such as TTL-AUTO and Super FP ash. An external ash unit specied
for use with this camera can be mounted on the camera by attaching it to the cameras
hot shoe. You can also attach the ash to the ash bracket on the camera using the
bracket cable (optional). Refer to the documentation provided with the external ash
units as well.
The upper limit of the shutter speed is 1/250 sec. when using a ash.

# Caut i ons
We recommend using a single group of up to three remote ash units.
Remote ash units cannot 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 ashes emitted by the camera ash
may affect exposure (this effect can be reduced by reducing the output of the camera
ash by, for example, using a diffuser).
The upper limit of ash synchronization timing is 1/250 sec. when using the ash in
remote control mode.
Other external ash units
Use after connecting the synchro cord to the hot shoe
or external ash jack. When not using an external ash
terminal, be sure to attach the cap.
When attaching a third-party ash to the cameras hot shoe
or external ash jack, be careful of the following points.
Cap
Using obsolete ash units that apply currents of more than about 250 V to the X-contact
will damage the camera.
Connecting ash units with signal contacts that do not conform to Olympus specications
may damage the camera.
Set the Shooting mode to M, set the shutter speed to a value no higher than ash
synchronous speed, and set ISO sensitivity to a setting other than [AUTO].
Flash control can only be performed by manually setting the ash 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 ash with an angle of illumination suited to the lens. Angle of illumination is usually
expressed using 35-mm format equivalent focal lengths.

Principal Accessories
Four Thirds lens adapter (MMF2/MMF3)
The camera requires a Four Thirds lens adapter to attach Four Thirds lenses. Since
the AF method differs when using a Micro Four Thirds system lens, the AF operational
area is narrower.
Remote cable (RMUC1)
Use when the slightest camera movement can result in blurred pictures, for example
for macro or bulb photography. The remote cable attaches via the camera multi-
connector.
Converter lenses
Converter lenses attach to the camera lens for quick and easy sh-eye or macro
photography. See the OLYMPUS website for information on the lenses that can be
used.
Use the appropriate lens attachment for SCN mode (f, w, or m).
Macro arm light (MAL1)
Use to illuminate subjects for macro photography, even at ranges at which vignetting
would occur with the ash.
Microphone set (SEMA1)
The microphone can be placed at a distance from the camera to avoid recording
ambient sounds or wind noise. Third-party commercial microphones can also be used
depending on your creative intent. We recommend that you use the supplied extension
cord. (power supplied via l3.5 mm stereo mini-plug)
Eyecup (EP-13)
You can exchange this for a larger eyecup.

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. 93)
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]. When using a Four Thirds system lens, there are
37 targets.
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. 17)
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 are 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. 125)
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. g Pixel Mapping - Checking the
image processing functions (P. 141)
Functions that cannot be selected from menus
Some items may not be selectable from the menus when using the arrow pad.

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 cameras 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 cameras power is turned on, the camera should be held
upright for the dust reduction function to be effective.
# Caut i ons
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.

Monitor
The display on the rear of the camera is an LCD
monitor.
In the unlikely event that the monitor
breaks, do not put the liquid crystal in your
mouth. Any of the material adhering to your
hands, feet, or clothing should be rinsed off
immediately.
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
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.
The monitor is made with high-precision
technology. However, black spots or bright
spots of light may appear constantly on the
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.
Lens
Do not immerse in water or splash with water.
Do not drop or exert strong force on the lens.
Do not hold at the moving part of the lens.
Do not touch the lens surface directly.
Do not touch the contact points directly.
