ISO standards specify the sensitivity for digital cameras and lm, thus codes such as ISO 100 are used to represent sensitivity. In the ISO setting, although smaller values result in less sensitivity, sharp images can be taken under fully lit conditions. Larger values result in higher sensitivity, and images can be taken at fast shutter speeds even under low light conditions. However, High sensitivity introduces noise into the resulting picture, which may give it a grainy appearance. Submenu 2

Battery Handling Precautions

This camera uses a lithium ion battery specied by Olympus. Do not use any other type of battery. If the batterys terminals get wet or greasy, camera contact failure may result. Wipe the battery well with a dry cloth before use. Always charge a battery when using it for the rst time, or if it has not been used for a long period. When operating the camera with battery power at low temperatures, try to keep the camera and spare battery as warm as possible. A battery that has run down at low temperatures may be restored after it is warmed at room temperature. The number of pictures you can take may vary depending on the shooting conditions or battery. Before going on a long trip, and especially before traveling abroad, purchase extra batteries. A recommended battery may be difcult to obtain while traveling. Please recycle batteries to help save our planets resources. When you throw away dead batteries, be sure to cover their terminals and always observe local laws and regulations.
LCD Monitor
Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise the image may become vague, resulting in a playback mode failure or damage to the monitor. A strip of light may appear on the top/bottom of the monitor, but this is not a malfunction. When a subject is viewed diagonally in the camera, the edges may appear zigzagged on the monitor. This is not a malfunction; it will be less noticeable in playback mode. In places subject to low temperatures, the LCD monitor may take a long time to turn on or its color may change temporarily. When using the camera in extremely cold places, it is a good idea to occasionally place it in a warm place. An LCD monitor exhibiting poor performance due to low temperatures will recover in normal temperatures. The LCD used for the monitor is made with high-precision technology. However, black spots or bright spots of light may appear constantly on the LCD Monitor. Due to its characteristics or the angle at which you are viewing the monitor, the spot may not be uniform in color and brightness. This is not a malfunction.
