Shooting Techniques:
General Introduction
This chapter briefly introduces some basic techniques you can apply to
different situations and shoot beautiful professional looking pictures to
achieve the effects that you want, even if you have little experience
using a camera.
You can vary the aperture setting to blur portrait
background, adjust flash, and select a different metering mode to
create artistic effects in portraits.
By lighting a subject from behind with
backlighting, you can soften shadows on the face and add highlight to
the outlines of the subject’s hair.
Even with sufficient light on the subject,
you can set the flash to fire and reduce daylight shadows on the
subject and get beautiful results.
There will be occasions
when you want to change the aperture value to ensure accurate
focusing of background scenery, or to make sure that all subjects in a
large group picture are in focus.
You can set a fast shutter speed to capture fast
moving subjects sharply frozen in time, or set a slow shutter speed and
show them in blurred motion.
After setting the camera in the macro mode, you can shoot
subjects as close as 20 cm from the lens for detailed nature shots.
You can use slow shutter speeds in combination with
lower ISO settings to experiment with shooting night scenes or other
dark subjects.
When you shoot a
subject with a flash against a night background, you can use slow
shutter speeds to achieve a variety of artistic effects.
By adjusting white balance and using manual
focusing, you can extend the range of creativity in your color pictures.

Taking Pictures:
Using a Flash
In this section you will learn how to use the built-in flash and external
dedicated flash FL-40. The built-in and external flash can be used
separately or together. We also describe the limitations on using other
external flash units not designed exclusively for this camera.
Use the built-in flash to take pictures of subjects in low incident light or
dark subjects in strong backlight. To use the flash, you must first press
the flash button to raise the built-in flash unit.
When you see the flash mark blinking in the viewfinder, the flash is
charging. Wait for the mark to stop flashing before firing the flash again.
To prevent the deterioration of the flash unit from overheating, do not fire
the flash more than 30 times in succession, and allow the flash to cool
for 10 minutes or more after a long session. Keep the flash unit clean.
Continuously firing the flash with the flash unit unclean, could cause the
flash unit to deteriorate.

Taking Pictures:
Color and Quality
In this section we will show you how to set up white balance, select the
record mode for images saved on the memory card, and how to use the
sharpness, contrast, and histogram options to enhance your captured
images.
There can be great differences in the way the camera reproduces color
in images taken in natural or artificial light, especially under fluorescent
lights. In such cases, you may need to adjust the white balance setting
of the camera in order to achieve the best natural color reproduction in
pictures taken indoors under incandescent or fluorescent lighting.
You can select a record mode best suited for your purpose. You can
select a high quality setting to produce the best quality image possible,
resulting in a larger file size but reducing the number of images that you
can save on a card. If your aim is to store more images on a card, or to
store as many images as possible on a card, you can select a lower
quality setting which will compress the images into smaller file sizes,
allowing you to store more images on a single card.
You can use the sharpness, contrast, and histogram options to enhance
the appearance of your images as they are taken.

Managing Stored
Pictures
In this chapter we describe copying and deleting images, and
formatting a memory card.
You can copy all or selected images
from one memory card to another in the camera to create backup
copies of important pictures that you do not want to lose.
You can delete images stored on a memory card one
at a time or all at one time to create more storage space on a memory
card.
Some memory cards may require formatting in the
camera before they can be used. Formatting is also a quick way to
delete all images from a card.
When pictures are taken, they are
automatically named to prevent them from writing over other files on
the card which could possibly have the same names.

Selecting Pictures for
Printing
This chapter describes how to select pictures for printing on a DPOF
(Data Print Order Format) printer or by a DPOF printing service.
To print the pictures taken with this camera, you can remove the
memory card with the stored pictures from the camera and print them
on a DPOF printer, or have them printed by a DPOF printing service.
You can also transfer the pictures to a computer and then print them on
a printer connected to the computer.
Pictures cannot be printed on an Olympus Digital Printer P-300 or
other digital printer connected directly to the camera.
If an Olympus Digital Printer P-330 is connected to the video OUT
connector of the camera for printing, the printed images may appear
slightly grainy. The following limitations apply to printing images on a
SmartMedia card on a P-330.
(1) Only the first 256 images stored on a SmartMedia card can be
printed. The remaining images will not be recognized.
(2) Setting index printing or date and time stamping, and selecting
more than two images for printing will be disabled.
