Press the INFO button repeatedly to display the multi view display. g“Switching the information display” (P. 39) • The exposure compensation comparison screen is displayed.

  • Page 41: Exposure

    Exposure Program shooting The camera sets the optimum aperture value and shutter speed automatically according to the subject brightness. While holding down the MODE button, turn the main dial to set the shooting mode to P. • When the shutter button is half-pressed, the shutter speed and aperture value are displayed on the viewfinder and control panel.

  • Page 42: Aperture Value

    Aperture priority shooting The camera sets the optimum shutter speed automatically for the aperture value you have selected. When you open the aperture (decrease the aperture value), the camera will focus within a shorter range (shallow depth of field) and produce a picture with a blurred background.

  • Page 43: Shutter Priority Shooting

    Shutter priority shooting The camera sets the optimum aperture value automatically for the shutter speed you have selected. Set the shutter speed depending on the type of effect you want. A higher shutter speed allows you to capture a fast-moving subject without blur, and a slower shutter speed blurs a moving subject, creating a feeling of speed or motion.

  • Page 44: Manual Shooting

    Manual shooting Allows you to set the aperture and shutter speed manually. You can check how much it differs from the appropriate exposure by using the exposure level indicator. This mode gives you more creative control, allowing you to make whatever settings you like, regardless of the correct exposure.

  • Page 45: Bulb Shooting

    TIPS The picture looks blurred: j The use of a monopod or tripod is recommended when taking a picture at slow shutter speed. j When the shutter speed is slow, camera shake is more likely to occur. You can reduce camera shake by using the image stabilizer.

  • Page 46: Preview Function

    Preview function The viewfinder shows the focused area (depth of field) with the selected aperture value. Press the  (Preview) button to use the preview function. Changing the metering mode There are 5 ways to measure the subject brightness: Digital ESP metering, Center weighted averaging metering, and 3 types of spot metering.

  • Page 47: Spot Metering

    H Center weighted averaging metering This metering mode provides the average metering between the subject and the background lighting, placing more weight on the subject at the center. Use this mode when you do not want the light level of the background to affect the exposure value. I Spot metering The camera meters a very small area around the center of the subject, defined by the spot metering area mark in the viewfinder.

  • Page 48: Ae Lock

    • The exposure compensation indicator is displayed. The exposure compensation indicator will not be displayed when the exposure is compensated by 0. When set to 1/3 EV increments • If the exposure compensation value exceeds the scale of the exposure compensation indicator, the indicator will blink in the viewfinder and on the control panel.

  • Page 49: Ae Bracketing

    TIPS To lock the exposure only while pressing the AEL/AFL button: g“AEL/AFL MEMO” (P. 106) If you find it difficult to press the AEL/AFL button and shutter button at the same time: j You can switch the functions of the AEL/AFL button and the < button. g“A”...

  • Page 56: Af Target Selection

    AF target selection This camera has 11 AF targets for focusing on the subject with auto focus. Select the optimal AF target mode according to your subject and the composition. There are two AF target modes: All target AF mode, which uses AF at all AF targets, and Single target AF mode, which uses AF centering around one selected AF target.
  • Page 57 P + j/k Direct button • When the button is released, the currently selected AF target lights. When M or N is set, you can select the AF target to be used at that point. For operation, refer to Step 2 in “Selecting the AF target position” (gP. 57) in the next section.

  • Page 58: Registering An Af Target Mode

  • Page 60: Self-Timer Shooting

    Self-timer shooting This function lets you take pictures using the self-timer. You can set the camera to release the shutter after either 12 or 2 seconds. Fix the camera securely on a tripod for self-timer shooting. For the setting method, see “Sequential shooting” (gP. 59). Press the shutter button all the way.
  • Page 61 Transmitted signal effective area Point the remote control at the remote control receiver of the camera within the effective area as shown below. When powerful lighting such as direct sunlight is shining on the remote control receiver, or when fluorescent light or devices emitting electrical or radio waves are nearby, it could narrow the effective area.

  • Page 62: Anti-Shock

    Anti-shock You can select the interval from the time the mirror is raised until the shutter is released. This diminishes camera shake caused by vibrations when the mirror moves. This feature can be useful in astrophotography and microscope photography or other photographic situations where a very slow shutter speed is used, and camera vibration needs to be kept to a minimum.
  • Page 63 Without this initialization, the image stabilizer may not be able to achieve the proper effect. • If the image stabilizer icon blinks in red on the monitor, it indicates a failure of the image stabilizer function. If you take a picture as is, the composition may be off. Consult your Olympus Authorized Service Center.
