Subjects that are difficult to focus on
It may be difficult to focus with auto focus in the following situations.
In any situation, focus on something with high contrast that is at the same distance as the
subject, determine the composition and shoot the picture.
Image taken appears whitish
This may occur when the picture is taken in backlight or semi-backlight conditions. This is
due to a phenomenon called flare or ghosting. As far as possible, consider a composition
where strong light source is not taken in the picture. Flare may occur even when a light
source is not present in the picture. Use a lens hood to shade the lens from the light source.
If a lens hood does not have effect, use your hand to shade the lens from the light.

“Interchangeable lenses” (P. 138)
Unknown bright dot(s) appear on the subject in the picture taken
This may be due to stuck pixel (s) on the image pickup device. Perform
[PIXEL MAPPING]
. If
the problem persists, repeat pixel mapping a few times.

When the focus cannot be obtained with imager AF
When using a lens other than high-speed Imager AF-compatible, it may be difficult to focus
depending on the subject.Setting
[PD AFL]
to
[ON]
in the Custom Menu allows to use the
phase difference AF during live view by pressing AFL/AEL button

For the information about the high-speed Imager AF-compatible lens, visit the Olympus
website.
Camera vibration when the power is turned off
This is due to the camera initializing the image stabilizer mechanism. Without this
initialization, the image stabilizer may not be able to achieve the proper effect.
