become excessively hot. Do not touch the flash when it is hot.

nDo not improperly open or modify the camera, as it may result in a shock or

injury.

BATTERY HANDLING

nFor the battery, use 2 CR-V3 lithium battery packs or 4 AA NiMH

batteries, NiCd batteries, alkaline batteries or lithium batteries.

nPerformance will be limited with alkaline batteries, especially in low

temperatures. NiMH batteries are recommended.

nAA manganese batteries cannot be used.

nUse the batteries correctly. Incorrect use can cause fluid leakage, heat

generation, or other damage. When replacing batteries, be sure to

load them correctly.

nThe batteries may be temporarily disabled when exposed to cold

temperatures. Try to keep the camera and batteries warm when using

the camera in a cold environment. Batteries that are weak in cold

temperatures will be restored under normal temperatures.

nSweat, oil, etc. can prevent a battery’s terminals from making

electrical contact. To avoid this, wipe both terminals before loading the

battery.

nKeep spare batteries on hand when going on a long trip. New

batteries may be difficult or impossible to obtain abroad.

nWhen using NiMH batteries or NiCd batteries, make sure to charge

them fully with the correct battery charger.

nRead instructions carefully before handling NiMH batteries or NiCd

batteries.

nNEVER use any battery whose body is not covered by the insulating

sheet, as it may cause a fire or injury.

nRecommended Temperature when Using NiMH Batteries

Operation: 32 ~ 104°F, Charge: 32 ~ 104°F, Storage: –4 ~ 86°F

(Usage outside this temperature range may limit battery performance or

shorten battery life. Unload batteries from the camera when not in use.)

USING THE FLASH

When the shutter button is pressed halfway, the orange lamp next to the

finder lights up when use of the flash is necessary. Select a flash mode

to match the photographic conditions and purpose.

If a setting other than Auto-Flash is

selected, the flash mode is displayed on

the control panel.

You can select the following flash modes with each press of the Flash

mode button.

Flash mode Use

Auto-Flash (p. 65) Automatically fires in low-light

and backlight conditions.

Red-Eye Reducing Flash (p. 65) Significantly reduces the

phenomenon of “red-eye”

(subject’s eyes appearing red).

Fill-In Flash (p. 66) Fires regardless of available

light.

Flash Off (p. 66) Never fires.

➟

➟➟

Flash working range:

Wide-angle : Approx. 31" ~ 12.5 ft

Telephoto : Approx. 8" ~ 12.5 ft

Note:

•The amount of flash light can be compensated for to match the picture

subject. (p. 86)

•The flash is being charged while the Orange lamp is blinking. Wait until

the Orange lamp goes off to take the picture.

•When using the flash in the Macro mode, especially with Wide-angle

shooting, the flash may not have the proper effect. Confirm the result

using the LCD monitor.

• See page 90 for using an extension flash.

• The main flash cannot be used in the Sequence mode. (p. 74)

AUTO-FLASH

The flash will fire automatically in low-light and backlight conditions.

When you take a picture that is backlit, position the subject within the

backlighting correction marks to fire the flash.

Note:

• The camera emits pre-flashes before the regular flash.

• It takes about a second before the Shutter is released.

•Performance may be limited when the subject is not looking at the pre-

flashes from right in front of the camera, or due to medication/alcohol

intake or individual characteristics.

USING THE FLASH (Cont.)

FILL-IN FLASH (FORCED ACTIVATION)

The flash fires regardless of available light. For example, this mode can

be used to brighten up the subject’s shaded face. Another use of this

mode is to correct the color shift produced by artificial lights (eg.

fluorescent light).

OFF (FLASH OVERRIDE)

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 in

twilight/night scenes.

Note:

• Use this mode within the flash working range. (p. 64)

• It may not have the desired effect under excessively bright light.

Note:

•Since a slow shutter speed is automatically selected in low-light situations

Note:

•If you are using another brand of extension flash, it cannot be used without the

•The camera’s flash mode has no effect on the extension flash. It will fire even

when the camera’s flash mode is set to Off.

•Before using another brand of flash unit, take care concerning the following

points.

•Some flashes available on the market operate with a high voltage synchro

terminal. If such a flash unit is used, it may not function normally. Contact the

manufacturer of the flash you are using concerning the specifications of the

flash’s synchro terminal.

•Some flashes available on the market have the polarity of the synchro

terminals reversed. In this case, even if the flash is connected, it will not fire.

Contact the manufacturer of the flash for more information.

•Confirm in advance that the flash unit you are using is synchronized with the

camera.

•If a flash unit or other accessory with additional communications functions is

used, it may not only fail to function normally, but may also cause damage to

the camera’s circuitry. Do not use such a device.

•It is recommended that the Olympus FL-40 extension flash be used with this

camera.

Other brands of extension flash that can be used.

When selecting an extension flash, use products which meet the

following basic conditions.

(1) Exposures when using an extension flash require that adjustments

be made on the extension flash unit.

If an extension flash is used in the Auto mode, matched it with the F

value and ISO sensitivity settings on the camera.

(2) Even if the auto F value and ISO sensitivity of the extension flash are

set to the same conditions as those on the camera, depending on the

photographic conditions, it is possible that the correct exposure may

not be obtained anyway. In such a case, adjust the auto F value or

ISO value on extension flash unit or calculate the distance in the

manual mode and use it that way. However, generally, the auto F

value and ISO value can only be adjusted 1 step and beyond that,

exposure compensation cannot be made. (Exposure compensation in

the camera is made invalid in extension flash photography.)

(3) Use a flash which is capable of covering an illumination angle for a

35 mm or larger lens when calculated for 32 mm film. However, in

close-up photography with the lens on the wide setting, the bottom of

the image may not expose correctly. The ideal is to have a wide

angle adapter to fit on the flash and spread the illumination angle so

it is wider.

(4) Use a flash unit with a flash time of 1/200 sec. or less when using the

flash at full strength. For devices with a long flash time, such as a

ring flash, a portion of the light emitted will not contribute to the

exposure.

(5) If a flash unit or other accessory with additional communications

functions other than the FL-40 is used, it may not only fail to function

normally, but may also cause damage to the camera’s circuitry. Do

not use such a device.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

STORING DATA FOR

PRINTING PICTURES

●Recorded images can be printed out with a printer.

●Selected images can be reserved in a SmartMedia

card for printing on a printer or at a photo lab that

supports the DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)

system.

166

ABOUT PRINT SETTINGS

You can make prints of images stored in a SmartMedia, using one of the

following methods:

1. Images in the SmartMedia can be selected for printing, as well as the

number of copies for each and whether or not to print the date and

time with them. This information is saved in the card (Print-reserve)

for later printing from a printer or at a photo lab that supports DPOF.

2. If a SmartMedia with Print-reserve data recorded in it is inserted into

an Olympus CAMEDIA P-330N/P-300 printer, printing can be

performed at the touch of a button. For more information, consult

your printer’s user manual.

3. Images can be transferred directly to a personal computer via USB or

a PC connection kit, or by using an optional FlashPath, PC Card

Adapter or USB SmartMedia Reader/Writer. Images can then be

printed on a printer connected to the personal computer using a

softtware application. For more information, consult the software’s

user manual.

About DPOF

DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) is a system that allows you to

select images in a SmartMedia card to be printed as well as the

number of copies to make of each. This information is stored in the

card for use by printers or photo labs that support this system to

make prints automatically.

167

Note:

•Images taken with this camera can also be printed using a printer or at a

photo lab that supports the Design rule for Camera File system/DCF.

•DPOF reservations set by another device cannot be changed by this

camera. Make changes using the original device.

•If a card contains DPOF reservations set by another device, entering

reservations using this camera may overwrite the previous reservations.

•Even if an image appears with the message "PICTURE ERROR", print

reserve may be performed on it. In such a case, the print reserve icon

() does not appear on the screen where an image is displayed for full

view. Since appears on the screen where multiple images are

displayed (index-display mode), it is possible to confirm the print reserve

status.

•This camera cannot be directly connected to printers such as the

Olympus P-300 digital printer.

• Not all functions may be available on all printers or at all photo labs.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

QHow long will the batteries last?

ABattery life is affected by many variables such as the amount of LCD

monitor use, the frequency of flash use, as well as by the kind of

battery used and the environmental conditions under which the

camera is used. Using the LCD monitor frequently will use up your

batteries quickly. Keep the LCD monitor turned off to save power. Use

of the optional AC adapter is recommended.

QHow can I correct the clock in the camera that will be used to record

the date on the image data?

ADate adjustment is not made when the camera is shipped. You can

adjust the date either from the camera or from the computer. (p. 34)

QHow should I store the camera?

ACameras are susceptible to damage caused by dust, moisture, and

salt. Wipe and dry the camera thoroughly before storing it. After using

it at the beach, wipe it with a cloth that has been moistened with fresh

water and then wrung out. Do not store in an area where mothballs

are used. Unload the batteries if you do not plan to use the camera for

a long period.

Q Why do the subjects’ eyes sometimes appear red in pictures?

AThis “red-eye phenomenon” occurs with all cameras when a flash is

used. It is caused by light from the flash reflecting off the retina at the

back of the eye. Red-eye varies depending on the individual and the

shooting conditions such as ambient lighting. Use of the Red-Eye

Reducing Pre-Flash mode significantly reduces this phenomenon.

221

QCan I use a filter, hood or conversion lens?

AYou cannot use a filter or a hood. A conversion lens adapter (optional)

is required to attach a conversion lens to the camera.

QCan I use an extension flash?

AYes you can. You can use an extension flash with a grip (p. 90).

NOTES ON DISPLAY AND

BACKLIGHT

• The Control panel and the fluorescent lamps used in the LCD monitor

have a limited service life. If they begin to darken or flicker, contact your

nearest service center.

• In cold conditions, the display backlight may be slow to come on or may

change color suddenly. To avoid this, keep the camera warm when

using in cold temperatures. Backlight performance will return to normal

under normal temperature conditions.

• When the color LCD monitor shows different pictures, some pixels may

not change color and remain on or off. This phenomenon may be due

to a lag in some circuits, but is considered to be within the normal

operating tolerances of the LCD monitor. In addition, the brightness of

the color LCD monitor may vary between pictures.
