Creating Panoramic Pictures
(Card Function)
Using standard Olympus SmartMedia cards also allows you to shoot
panoramic shots easily. This function is not available with other brands
of cards.
With multiple images in which the edges of the subject can be
overlapped, it is possible to use CAMEDIA Master 2.0 utility software
to combine the images into a single panoramic shot. The panorama
assembly function works only with Olympus-brand standard cards.
For details about how to use the menu, see “Using the Shooting
Menu” (p.74).

Taking Movie Pictures (continued)
Movie picture record mode
For movie pictures, there are two modes with different image sizes and
resolutions.
Movie picture record modes are set with the still picture record mode
settings. To change them, first cancel “Shooting movies” and enter the
still picture record mode to set the desired resolution (p.80).
Shooting hints
Start shooting a few moments before the action starts, and stop
shooting a few moments after it ends. This will ensure that you don't
miss any of the action at the beginning or end of the scene. After you
finish shooting you can go back and trim off the extra frames at the
beginning and end (see p.108).
Settings return to the default when the power is turned off.
When the power is turned off, the camera will return to the “Still
Picture” mode.
HELP
• Movie picture quality may be grainier than still shots.
• The scope of the shot may actually be slightly narrower than it appears in
the initial composition.
• A strip of light may appear at the top and bottom of the monitor. This does
not indicate a malfunction.
• You can adjust the zoom while shooting but zooming will be slower.
• To prevent losing the image, never open the card compartment cover,
remove the card, remove the batteries, or disconnect the AC adapter while
the write mark is blinking.
