in the image displayed on the monitor and shot images under certain environmental
conditions (temperature etc.) and camera settings.

Noise in images
While shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on screen. These phenomena
occur when the temperature rises in the image pickup device or image pickup device
internal drive circuit, causing current to be generated in those sections of the image pickup
device that are not normally exposed to light. This can also occur when shooting with ahigh ISO setting in a high-temperature environment. To reduce this noise, the camera
activates the noise reduction function. g [Noise Reduct.] (P. 108)

Pop Art I/II *Creates an image that emphasizes the beauty of color.

Soft Focus

Creates an image that expresses a soft tone atmosphere.
Creates an image that expresses warm light by scattering

Pale&Light Color I/II * overall light and slightly overexposing the image.

Shooting

Light Tone

Creates a high-quality image by softening both shadows andhighlights.

Grainy Film I/II *Creates an image that expresses the roughness of black andwhite images.

Pin Hole I/II/III *Creates an image that looks as if it was taken using an old or
toy camera by dimming the image perimeter.

Diorama I/II *Creates a miniature-like image by emphasizing saturation andcontrast, and blurring unfocused areas.

Cross Process I/II *Creates an image that expresses a surreal atmosphere.
Cross Process II creates an image that emphasizes magenta.

Gentle Sepia

Creates a high-quality image by drawing out shadows andsoftening the overall image.

Dramatic Tone I/II *Creates an image that emphasizes the difference between
brightness and darkness by partially increasing contrast.

Key Line I/II *Creates an image that emphasizes edges and adds anillustrative style.

Watercolor I/II *Creates a soft, bright image by removing dark areas, blending
pale colors on a white canvas, and further softening contours.

Vintage I/II/III *Expresses an everyday shot in a nostalgic, vintage tone using
printed film discoloration and fading.

Partial Color I/II/III *Impressively expresses a subject by extracting colors you
want to emphasize and keeping everything else monotone.

* II and III are altered versions of the original (I).

• We recommend using a single group of up to three remote flash units.
• Remote flash units cannot be used for second curtain slow synchronization or anti-shock
exposures longer than 4 seconds.
• If the subject is too close to the camera, the control flashes emitted by the camera flash
may affect exposure (this effect can be reduced by reducing the output of the camera
flash by, for example, using a diffuser).
• The upper limit of flash synchronization timing is 1/250 sec. when using the flash in RC
mode.

Other external flash units
Note the following when using a third-party flash unit mounted on the camera hot shoe:• Using obsolete flash units that apply currents of more than about 250 V to the X-contact
will damage the camera.
• Connecting flash units with signal contacts that do not conform to Olympus specifications
may damage the camera.
• Set the Shooting mode to M, set the shutter speed to a value no higher than flash
synchronous speed, and set ISO sensitivity to a setting other than [AUTO].
• Flash control can only be performed by manually setting the flash to the ISO sensitivity
and aperture values selected with the camera. Flash brightness can be adjusted byadjusting either ISO sensitivity or aperture.
• Use a flash with an angle of illumination suited to the lens. Angle of illumination is usually
expressed using 35-mm format equivalent focal lengths.

148 ENPrincipal Accessories
Remote cable (RM–UC1)
Use when the slightest camera movement can result in blurred pictures, for example
for macro or bulb photography. The remote cable attaches via the camera multiconnector. (P. 11)

if the battery was only loaded in the camera for a short time before being removed. Before
taking important pictures, check that the date and time settings are correct.

Set functions are restored to their factory default settings

Image taken appears whitish
This may occur when the picture is taken in backlight or semi-backlight conditions. This isdue 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 lightsource 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.

FCC Notice

FCC Caution

This equipment has been tested and foundto comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference ina residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used inaccordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If thisequipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off andon, the user is encouraged to try to correct theinterference by one or more of the following
measures:• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between theequipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on acircuit different from that to which the receiveris connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/
TV technician for help.
• Only the OLYMPUS-supplied USB cableshould be used to connect the camera to
USB enabled personal computers.

Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliancecould void the user’s authority to operate theequipment.
This transmitter must not be co-located or
operated in conjunction with any other antenna
or transmitter.
This equipment complies with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolledenvironment and meets the FCC radio frequency(RF) Exposure Guidelines. This equipment hasvery low levels of RF energy that are deemed
to comply without testing of specific absorption
rate (SAR).

9SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

The available scientific evidence does not showthat any health problems are associated withusing low power wireless devices. There is no
proof, however, that these low power wirelessdevices are absolutely safe. Low power Wirelessdevices emit low levels of radio frequency energy(RF) in the microwave range while being used.
Whereas high levels of RF can produce healtheffects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level
RF that does not produce heating effects causes
no known adverse health effects. Many studiesof low-level RF exposures have not found any
biological effects. Some studies have suggested
that some biological effects might occur, but suchfindings have not been confirmed by additional
research. PEN-F has been tested and found tocomply with IC radiation exposure limits set forth
for an uncontrolled environment and meets RSS102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposurerules.
