Using the flash

Auto-flash (No indication)

basics Shooting

The flash fires automatically in low light or backlight conditions.

To shoot a subject with backlight, position the target mark over the subject in the viewfinder.

Red-eye reduction flash ()

The light from the flash may make the subject???s eyes appear red in pictures. The red-eye reduction flash mode reduces this phenomenon by emitting pre- flashes before firing the regular flash. This helps accustom the subject???s eyes to the bright light and minimizes the red-eye phenomenon.

The subject???s eyes appear red.

???After the pre-flashes, it takes about 1 second before the shutter is released, so do not move the camera and hold it firmly.

???Effectiveness may be limited if the subject is not looking directly at the pre-flashes, or if the shooting range is too far. Individual physical characteristics may also limit effectiveness.

Fill-in flash ( )

The flash always fires every time the shutter button is released. This mode is suitable when you need minimize shadows around the subject (such as the shade of tree leaves on the subject???s face), in backlight conditions, or under artificial light such as a fluorescent lamp.

The fill-in flash may not have the desired effect under excessively bright light.

Using the flash

Flash off ( )

The flash does not fire even in low light conditions. Use this mode in situations where flash photography is not desired or is prohibited, or when you want to shoot a natural-looking twilight or night scene.

Night scene ( )

Use this mode when shooting a subject against a night background. In this mode, the flash is designed for slow shutter speeds, enabling the flash to brighten the subject and the slow shutter speed to shoot the background, ensuring both are exposed.

basics Shooting

Night scene with red-eye reduction ()

Use this mode when shooting a portrait against a night background to reduce the red-eye phenomenon. In this mode, pre-flashes are emitted to counter the red-eye phenomenon.

Since a slow shutter speed is automatically selected in low light situations when the flash off, night scene or night scene with red-eye reduction flash mode is set, the use of a tripod is recommended to prevent your pictures from being blurred by camera shake. The green lamp blinks in low light conditions to warn of camera shake, but you can take pictures. Note that a moving subject will be blurred.

Taking close-up pictures (Macro mode)

The macro mode allows you to shoot a subject at a distance of 25 - 60 cm/0.8 - 2 ft. You can also use the macro mode to shoot a subject at a distance of more than 60 cm/2 ft. This camera uses a smaller lens aperture in this mode, making it useful for taking pictures in bright surroundings, such as snow- covered mountains in bright sunshine.

Varying the image brightness (Exposure compensation)

This function allows you to make fine changes to the automatic exposure setting. In some situations, you may get better results when the exposure that the camera sets is compensated (adjusted) manually. You can adjust the brightness in the range of ??2.0 in 0.5 steps.

Often white subjects (such as snow) will turn out darker than their natural colors. Adjusting towards [+] makes these subjects closer to their real shades. For the same reason, adjust towards [-] when shooting black subjects.

Resolution

The number of pixels (horizontal ??? vertical) used when saving an image. If the image will be printed, higher resolutions (larger numbers) are recommended so that the image will be clearer. However, higher resolutions make the file size (amount of data) larger, so the number of pictures that can be saved will be fewer.

Resolution and picture size on a computer screen

When a picture is transferred to a computer, the size of the picture on the computer screen varies depending on the computer???s monitor setting. For instance, a picture taken in 1024 ??? 768 resolution is the same size as the screen if you set the picture to 1??? when the monitor setting is 1024 ??? 768.

However, if the monitor setting is over 1024 ??? 768 (such as 1280 ??? 1024), the picture only takes up part of the screen.

How to print pictures

When you want to print out pictures, perform print reservation. Several different printing options are available:

Printing at a photo lab that supports DPOF or printing on a DPOF compatible printer

Print reservation allows you to save printing data (number of prints, date printed on pictures, etc.) with the pictures stored on the card.

What is DPOF?

DPOF is short for Digital Print Order Format. DPOF is a format used to record automatic print information from cameras.

By specifying which pictures are to be printed, the pictures can be printed easily by DPOF-compatible printing service labs or on a personal DPOF- compatible printer.

Printing on an Olympus CAMEDIA P-400, P-330N(E) or P-200 digital printer

If you insert a card containing the print reservation data into the printer, printing is possible without using a PC. For more details, refer to the printer???s instructions.

Transferring pictures to a PC and printing them from a printer connected to the PC

If you have installed software for displaying JPEG pictures on your PC (internet browser, Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop, etc.), you can print out pictures on a printer connected to the PC. (Printing is also possible using CAMEDIA Master software.) Check your software before printing. For details, refer to the application software???s instructions.

By connecting the camera to a computer with the provided USB cable, images on a card can be transferred to the computer. Some OS???s (operating systems) may need a special setup before connecting to the camera for the first time. Follow the chart below.

Installing the USB driver for Windows 98 (p.9)

Connecting the camera to the computer using the provided USB cable (Windows p.11, Mac p.24)

Confirming the computer recognizes the camera (p.14)

Downloading image files (Windows p.17, Mac p.26)

Disconnecting the USB cable (Windows p.20, Mac p.30)

Even if your computer has a USB connector, data transfer may not function correctly if you are using one of the operating systems listed below or if you have an add-on USB connector (extension card, etc.).

Windows 95/NT 4.0

Windows 98/98 SE upgrade from Windows 95

Flowchart

???When connecting the camera to the computer, make sure that there is sufficient remaining battery power. When connected (transmitting) to the computer, the camera does not enter the sleep mode nor will the camera???s power turn off automatically. Depending on the camera model, when the battery power runs out or the internal temperature rises, the camera may stop operating automatically. This could cause the computer to malfunction, and any image data (file) being transmitted may be lost. Be careful when downloading files for a long period of time. Use the AC adapter (optional) when downloading files.

???If you connect or disconnect the AC adapter when the camera is connected to the computer and is running on battery power, it may result in the loss of image data on the card or cause a malfunction in the computer. Before connecting or disconnecting the AC adapter, disconnect the camera from the computer and make sure that the camera is turned off.

???To avoid computer malfunctions, do not turn off the camera when the camera is connected to a computer.

???If the camera is connected to the computer via a USB hub, operation may not be stable if there are any compatibility problems between the computer and the hub. In such cases, do not use the hub and connect the camera directly to the computer.

???You can view images using: graphics applications that support the JPEG file format (Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop, etc.); Internet browsers (Netscape Communicator, Microsoft Internet Explorer, etc.); CAMEDIA Master software; or other software. For details on using commercial graphics applications, refer to their instruction manuals.

???QuickTime is needed for playing back movies. QuickTime is included on the provided software CD.

???If you want to process images, make sure to download them to your computer first. Depending on the software, image files may be destroyed if the images are processed (rotated, etc.) while they are on the card.
