Open the battery compartment cover.  
Insert the new battery correctly as  
indicated below and close the bat-  
tery compartment cover tightly.  
*Use a 3V lithium battery  
(Duracell DL123A, Panasonic CR123A,  
or equivalent.)  
Before you  
begin  
*Remove the battery if you do not plan to  
use the camera for an extended period of  
time.  
Loading the  
battery

*Open the battery compartment cover  
and remove the battery, as illustrated  
below, when replacing the battery.  
*Be sure to close the lens barrier when  
replacing the battery.  
Open the lens barrier as shown  
below until you hear a "Click"  
and check the battery power  
remaining.  
When  
is displayed (Approx. 12  
sec.), battery is OK.  
If  
flashes, battery is low, have spare  
handy.  
If  
is displayed continuously, battery  
should be replaced immediately.  
*When closing the lens barrier, slide  
gently to allow the lens to retract as the  
barrier is being closed.

Open the back cover by sliding  
the back cover release toward the  
top of the camera.  
The camera back will open.  
Simple point  
and shoot  
photography  
Loading  
the film  
This camera is  
designed to use DX  
coded 35 mm film to  
automatically set film  
speed. If DX-coded  
film is unavailable,  
use ISO 100 film.  
 
7
Prepare a "DX" film cartridge.  
The camera will set itself auto-  
matically for DX-coded film  
speeds from ISO 50 to 3200.  
*When using non-DX film, the film  
speed is automatically set to ISO 100.  
Insert the film cartridge into the  
camera.  
Avoid direct sunlight when load-  
ing the film.  
Be sure the film is lying flat.  
 
8
Close the camera back firmly.  
(Make sure the back cover lock  
snaps down.)  
Align the film leader with the red film loading indicator.  
Adjust the length of the film leader before loading so that it matches  
with the red loading indicator.  
Make sure the film leader tip is not bent and the film perforations are  
properly aligned and engaged as shown.  
*
 
9
Use the window in the camera back  
to check type of film loaded.  
*
Open the lens barrier until you hear a "Click". Be sure the exposure  
counter on the LCD panel will display a number "1" indicating the  
first picture on the roll.  
*
If the film is improperly loaded, the LCD panel will display a blinking "E" as  
shown in the illustration (B). In this case, open the back cover, and realign the  
film leader.  
 
10  
The camera automatically rewinds the film when you reach the end  
of the roll. You will hear the motor operating and the exposure  
counter will count down as the film is rewinding.  
The final reading on the exposure counter before rewinding may be  
more than the number of exposures specified for the film.  
Unloading  
the film  
 
11  
If you want to rewind the film before  
the end of a roll, press the rewind but-  
ton with the tip of a ballpoint pen.  
Do not use any device with a sharp tip  
and do not press the rewind button too  
hard.  
Open the back cover after the  
motor has stopped.  
Once the film has been rewound,  
a blinking "E" will be displayed on  
the LCD panel. Further operations are  
not possible until the rewound film  
cartridge is removed.  
Remove the film cartridge from  
the camera in the shade.  
 
12  
Slide the lens barrier as far as it will go until you hear a click.  
(The shutter will not release unless the lens barrier is fully open.)  
When the camera is not in use, always close this barrier so that the  
shutter will not release accidentally. When the lens barrier is opened,  
normal shooting mode (AUTO or AUTO-S) will be indicated  
on the LCD panel. After 4.5 minutes, the LCD will go out.  
How to take  
pictures  
 
13  
Hold the camera correctly. Keep your fingers and the strap away from the lens, viewfinder  
and flash reflector.  
 
14  
The subject should be within the  
picture frame.  
Press the shutter release button  
lightly and confirm that the auto-  
focus lamp (green) to the right  
of the viewfinder is lighted.  
Position your subject within the  
autofocus frame.  
 
15  
*If the distance between the subject and  
the camera is less than 0.35 m (1.1 ft.),  
the autofocus lamp (green) to the right  
of the viewfinder will blink and shutter  
will not release.  
However, the shutter may sometimes be  
released erroneously when the subject  
is extremely close to the camera.  
*If the distance between the subject and  
the camera is set at 0.35 m (1.1 ft.), the  
picture area will be inside the close-up  
correction marks as shown in the  
illustration.  
Shooting range: From 0.35 m  
(1.1 ft.) to— (infinity)  
 
16  
As soon as the shutter is  
Press the shutter release button  
(Gently to minimize camera  
shake.)  
released, the film will automati-  
cally advance to the next frame.  
You will hear the motor operat-  
ing. The exposure counter will  
advance to the next frame when  
film winding is completed.  
 
17  
If you are taking pictures in low light, the flash lamp (orange) to  
the right of the viewfinder and the red lamp on the front of the camera  
will light when the shutter release button is pressed halfway.  
•While the flash is still charging and the flash lamp (orange) is blinking,  
the shutter will not release.  
•It takes about 3 sec. after the film is advanced to recharge the flash  
(at normal temperatures).

*The flash range as shown below is optimal  
for color negative film. Actual flash  
working range for other film types  
may vary.  
The flash will activate automatically  
when the shutter release button is  
fully pressed.  
 
19  
This indicates that the flash will  
activate automatically.  
If the backlighted subject is so small  
that it does not fill the autofocus  
frame, the flash may not activate  
automatically. In this case, use the  
FILL-IN flash mode. (Refer to p. 27)  
If you are taking backlighted  
subjects, the flash lamp (orange)  
and red lamp on the front of

Troubleshooting  
release if the barrier has been left open over 4 hours.  
Q: Will the camera operate without film?  
Close and re-open the barrier once before shooting.  
Q: The flash does not activate.  
A: Even if there is no film in the camera, if the lens  
barrier is open, the shutter will release. Under low light  
the flash will activate. If the lens barrier is closed, the  
camera will not operate; and if the flash is activated in  
rapid succession, the camera may get warm. (In the  
latter case, pause between shots.)  
A: Check the flash mode.  
Q: How long does the battery last?  
A: Since lithium batteries have extra long lives, you can  
shoot approximately 20 rolls of 24-exp. film. Using a  
flash will shorten the life of a battery by about 50%;  
thus if you use the flash less frequently, the battery will  
last longer.  
Q: The camera does not work in extremely cold weather.  
What should I do?  
A: In low temperature conditions, batteries temporarily  
lose performance. Try to keep the camera warm.  
Q: The camera will not operate. What shall I do?  
A: (1) Open the lens barrier fully. (2) Be sure the battery is  
placed in the camera correctly and that the battery  
power isn't low. (3) The camera will not operate when  
the flash is recharging. (4) Be sure the subject is not  
closer than the shooting distance. (5) The camera will  
not operate until the camera back has been opened af-  
ter the film has been rewound. (6) The shutter will not

Q: The pictures aren't sharp. What's wrong?  
A: In the following examples, the camera's autofocus  
mechanism may not function properly. Use the focus  
lock mechanism when taking pictures of:  
a. (1) Objects that reflect too much light (2) Black  
objects (3) Objects through glass windows or wire  
screens (4) Subjects in which flames or smoke are  
included (5) Subjects in which the sun is part of the  
picture.  
b. Subjects in high - light situations, such as summer sea  
shores or snowy mountains.  
Q: Where can I buy lithium batteries?  
A: At your local camera dealer or nearest Olympus  
service center. When purchasing batteries, order  
Duracell DL123A or Panasonic CR123A, or equivalent.
