QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q: How long will the batteries last?
A: Two new 3V lithium batteries will last for
roughly 20 rolls of 24-exposure film on
which the flash was used on half of all
the shots (determined under Olympus
test conditions). If you do not use the
flash and zoom very often, the batteries
will last much longer.
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 use mothballs.
Q: When does the camera measure and
set the exposure?
A: When the shutter release button is
pressed halfway, the camera measures
both the exposure and the focus and
then locks them as long as the shutter
release button remains halfway
depressed. In the Spot Metering mode,
the exposure is locked when the spot
button is pressed.
Q: How should I clean the lens?
A: Wipe the lens gently with lens cleaning
tissue that has been moistened with a
small amount of lens cleaning fluid.
Q: Can I use a filter?
A: Yes, you can. Use one with a diameter
of 52 mm. When you use a thick one,
like a C-POL (circular-polarizing) filter,
the edges of the picture plane
sometimes become dark or the lens
cap may not close. Be sure to turn off
the power before mounting or removing
a filter. When doing so, even with the
power off, sometimes the lens rotates
and the motor operates. This is not a
malfunction.
Q: Can I use infrared film?
A: No.
