Focusing and shooting functions

Setting the focal length

By setting in advance the focal length of the lens, you can

use the image stabilizer function also with lenses other

than Four Thirds system lenses. This setting is deactivated

when a Four Thirds system lens is attached.

1 Press the F button in the [IMAGE STABILIZER]

screen.

2 Use the control dial or ac to set the focal length

and press i.

Focal lengths that can be set

• If the focal length of the lens you are using is not listed, select the closest value.

Checking the image stabilizer effect with live view

You can hold down the o button during live view to see

the effect of the image stabilizer on the monitor. While in

that position, you can press the shutter button fully to take

a picture.

• When [IMAGE STABILIZER] is set to [OFF], pressing

and holding the o button activates the image stabilizer

([I.S. 1]).

• Either releasing the o button or holding down the o

button for several seconds turns off the image stabilizer.

x Notes

• The image stabilizer cannot correct excessive camera shake or camera shake that occurs

when the shutter speed is set to the slowest speed. In these cases, it is recommended that

you use a tripod.

• When using a tripod, set [IMAGE STABILIZER] to [OFF].

• When using a lens with an image stabilization function, turn off the image stabilization

function of either the lens or the camera.

• If [IMAGE STABILIZER] is set to [I.S.1], [I.S.2] or [I.S.3] and you turn off the camera, the

camera will vibrate. This is due to the camera initializing the image stabilizer mechanism.

Without this initialization, the image stabilizer may not be able to achieve the proper effect.

• If the image stabilizer icon is displayed in red on the monitor, it indicates a failure of the image

stabilizer function. If you take a picture as is, the composition may be off. Consult your

Olympus Authorized Service Center.
