Q
How should I store the camera?
A
Cameras are susceptible to damage caused by dust,
moisture, and salt. Wipe and dry the camera thoroughly
before storing it. After using it at the beach, wipe it with a cloth
that has been moistened with fresh water and then wrung out.
Do not store in an area where mothballs are used. Unload the
batteries if you do not plan to use the camera for a long
period.
Q
Why do the subjects’ eyes sometimes appear red in
pictures?
A
This “red-eye phenomenon” occurs with all cameras when
a flash is used. It is caused by light from the flash
reflecting off the retina at the back of the eye. Red-eye varies
depending on the individual and the shooting conditions such
as ambient lighting. Use of the Red-Eye Reducing Pre-Flash
mode significantly reduces this phenomenon.
Q
Can I use a filter or hood?
A
Olympus does not provide one.
Q
Can I use an external flash?
A
A slave unit may not function with this camera.
