START HERE
It is strongly recommended that you follow these step-by-step numbered instructions to set up and quickly begin using your new Digital camera.

For more detailed instructions on advanced features, please refer to the printed Basic Manual included in your package, or the Reference Manual on the CD-ROM.

1. UNPACKING THE BOX CONTENTS

Gather your Digital Camera and the parts as shown in the illustration. You’ll need these to complete the steps for the camera set-up procedures that follow.

The following items are also included in the Digital Camera package: Basic Manual, A/V cable, RM-2 remote control, warranty card, registration card (not provided in some areas).

2. PREPARING THE CAMERA FOR USE

Before you begin using your Olympus Digital Camera…

3. TURNING ON THE CAMERA

All you need to do is slide the lens barrier open or close to turn the camera ON or OFF.

4. TAKING PICTURES

There are two ways to compose your subject: using the monitor or with the viewfinder. Depending upon the shooting situation, there may be advantages to each method. Please refer to the printed Basic Manual for more information.

a. Taking a Picture with the Monitor
• Open the lens barrier fully.
• Frame your subject using the monitor.

Icons representing camera settings appear on the monitor, telling you important information such as the
Flash and record modes, battery life, and the number of frames remaining.
• Press the shutter button halfway. The green lamp will light steadily when the focus and exposure are set.
• Press the shutter button completely to take the picture. A short beep confirms your picture has been taken.

b. Taking a Picture with the Viewfinder
• Open the lens barrier fully.
• Frame your subjects using the AF target mark in the viewfinder.
• Press the shutter button halfway.

The Digital Camera confirms the focus and exposure are properly set when the green lamp in the viewfinder lights steadily.

• Press the shutter button completely to take the picture.
A short beep confirms your picture has been taken.

c. Zooming
This Digital Camera features a zoom lens, allowing you to get closer to action, or capture wide-angle shots and get everything into the picture.

• Push the zoom button W to zoom out and get everything into the picture.
• Push the zoom button T to choose telephoto shooting and get closer to the action.

d. Flash Modes
This Digital Camera features multiple flash modes.
Please note that not all flash modes are available depending on the shooting mode selected.

With the shutter button depressed halfway, the flash is ready to fire when the # indicator in the monitor or the orange lamp next to the viewfinder lights. When the orange lamp is blinking, the flash is charging.

e. Number of Storable Pictures
Your Digital Camera can handle xD-Picture Cards from 16 MB to 512 MB. The number of storable pictures depends on the image quality selected. The default quality mode is HQ mode. This mode allows you to capture high quality images with medium file sizes. The HQ mode is suitable for most shooting situations.
See the Camera Reference Manual on the CD-ROM for complete descriptions of each recording mode and the storable frame capacity for the various resolution modes and xD-Picture Card capacities.

TIP:

To find out how many frames you have left, turn on the monitor and look for the number in the lower right corner. Remember, you can always delete unwanted pictures to make room for more. (See Step 5.)

5. VIEWING AND ERASING PICTURES

With a Digital Camera, you can easily view the photos you want—and delete the ones you don’t.

6. CONNECTING THE CAMERA TO A COMPUTER

TIP: Olympus recommends using the optional AC adapter to ensure a consistent power supply when downloading images.

Make sure that the camera is turned off before connecting it to your computer.
Windows 98 users must install the “USB Driver for Windows 98” software before connecting the Digital camera to the computer.
Refer to the Software Installation Guide for complete information.
