focus, and then returning to the horizontal position to take the picture.

EN 93

Camera shake
Taking pictures without camera shake.
· Taking pictures using [Image Stabilizer]. g P. 46 The camera detects camera movement to reduce the blur even if the ISO sensitivity is not increased. This function is also effective when taking pictures at a high zoom magnification.
· Shooting movies using [IS Movie Mode]. g P. 50 · Select [J Sport] in the scene mode. g P. 22
The [J Sport] mode uses a fast shutter speed and can reduce the blur incurred by a moving subject. · Taking pictures at a high ISO sensitivity. g P. 39 If a high ISO sensitivity is selected, pictures can be taken at a high shutter speed even at locations where a flash cannot be used.
Exposure (brightness)
Taking pictures with the right brightness.
· Taking pictures of a subject against a backlight Faces or backgrounds are bright even when shot against backlight. [Shadow Adjust] g P. 53 [E Backlight HDR] g P. 22
· Taking pictures using [Face/iESP]. g P. 44 Appropriate exposure is obtained for a face against backlight, and the face is brightened.
· Taking pictures using [Spot Metering]. g P. 45 Brightness is matched with a subject in the center of the screen and the image is not affected by background light.

Important information about water and shock resistant features
Water resistance: The waterproof feature is warranted1 to operate at depths up to 15 m (49.2 feet) for up to one hour. The waterproof feature may be compromised if the camera is subject to substantial or excessive impact. · Do not push the monitor hard with it opened. Shock resistance: The anti-shock feature warrants2 the operation of the camera against accidental impact incurred from everyday use of your digital compact camera. The anti-shock feature does not unconditionally warrant all defective operation or cosmetic damage. Cosmetic damage, such as scratches and dents, are not covered under the warranty. As with any electronic device, proper care and maintenance are required to preserve the integrity and operation of your camera. To maintain camera performance, please take your camera to the nearest Olympus Authorized Service Center to have it inspected after any major impact. In the event the camera is damaged as a result of negligence or misuse, the warranty will not cover costs associated with the service or repair of your camera. For additional information on our warranty, please visit to the Olympus website for your local area. Please observe the following care instructions for your camera.
1 As determined by Olympus pressure testing equipment in accordance with IEC Standard Publication 529 IPX8 – This means that the camera can be used normally under water at a specified water pressure.
2 This anti-shock performance is confirmed by Olympus’s testing conditions (with the back monitor closed).
Before Use:
· Check the camera for foreign material including dirt, dust or sand. · Firmly close the battery/card compartment/connector cover latch and LOCK
knob. · Do not open the battery/card compartment/connector cover with wet hands,
while under water, or in a damp or dusty environment (e.g. beach).

After Use:
· Be sure to wipe off any excess water or debris after using the camera under water.
· After the camera is used under seawater, immerse the camera in a bucket containing fresh water for about 10 minutes (with the battery/ card compartment/connector cover firmly closed). Do not leave the camera without cleaning for more than 60 minutes. This will cause damage to the camera’s appearance and/or deteriorate water resistance.
· When opening the battery/card compartment/connector cover, take care not to allow water drops to enter the camera. If any water drops are found on the inner side of the cover, be sure to wipe them off before using the camera.
Storage and Maintenance
· Do not leave the camera in an environment at high temperature (40°C (104°F) or more) or at low temperature (-10°C (14°F) or less). Failure to do so may break down water resistance.
· Do not use chemicals for cleaning, rust prevention, anti-fogging, repairing, etc. Failure to do so may break down water resistance.
· Do not leave the camera in water for a long time. Prolonged exposure to water will cause damage to the camera’s appearance and/or deteriorate water resistance.
· In order to preserve the water resistant feature, as with any underwater housing, it is recommended that the waterproof packing (and seals) are replaced annually. For the Olympus distributors or service stations where the waterproof packing can be replaced, visit Olympus website for your local area.
The included accessories (e.g. USB-AC adapter) do not offer shock or water resistance.
