QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q
How long will the batteries last?
A
Four new AA alkaline batteries may last for as many as 100
frames when the flash is used on half of all the shots
(determined under Olympus test conditions). But this is just a
yardstick — in actual use, battery 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 very
quickly. Keep the LCD monitor turned off to save power.
The battery consumption figures regarding the number of
pictures the camera can take are based on our tests and our
designated batteries. These figures are for reference only. The
actual number of pictures the camera can take on a set of
batteries may vary.
For best results, use lithium AA batteries.
Q
How can I correct the clock in the camera that will be used
to record date on the image data?
A
Date adjustment isn’t made when the camera is shipped.
After loading the lithium battery, connect the camera to a
personal computer and use the provided application software
to correct the date. The date also needs to be reset whenever
the AA batteries and lithium battery are replaced at the same
time.
Q
How should I store the camera?
A
Cameras 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?
A
This “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.
Q
Can I use a filter or hood?
A
No, you can’t.
Q
How should I clean the LCD monitor?
A
Wipe the LCD monitor gently with lens cleaning tissue.
