Using a new card

If you use a non-Olympus card or a card used for another application, such as for a computer,

the message

[CARD ERROR]

is displayed. To use this card with this camera, use the

[FORMAT]

function to format the card.

“Formatting the card” (P. 118)

Extending the useful life of the battery

Performing any of the following operations when not actually taking pictures can deplete the

battery power.

•

Repeatedly pressing the shutter button halfway.

•

Repeatedly playing back the captured images over a long period of time.

•

Using the live view function over a long period.

To save battery power, turn off the camera whenever it is not in use.

Cannot use the Imager AF

Imager AF is available only when using compatible lenses. For the latest information about

Olympus lenses compatible with Imager AF, visit the Olympus website.

Selecting the optimal record mode

Record modes are divided into 2 main types: RAW and JPEG. RAW records without reflecting

the settings for white balance, contrast, etc. on the images themselves. JPEG records as

images that reflect these settings. JPEG also compresses images to reduce the file size when

recording them. For JPEG, you can register four combinations of images sizes (

) and

compression rates (SF, F, N, B) from the 12 total combinations available. The higher the

compression rate, the grainier the image will appear when enlarged during display. A rough

guide for selection is shown below.
