Switching the Camera On/Off
To switch the camera on or off, move the power
switch to ON or OFF. When the camera is in the
shooting mode (mode dial set to P, A, S, or M),
if it remains idle for a specified length of time it
will switch off the displays automatically and
enter the sleep mode to conserve battery
power. To restore the camera to full operation,
press any button on the camera. If the camera
remains idle for one hour after entering the
sleep mode, the camera will shut itself off
completely. In order to restore full operation,
switch the camera off and switch it on again.
The first time that you switch the camera on,
you should set the date and time.
Checking the Number of Storable Pictures
The large two-digit number in the lower right
section of the control panel displays the
number of storable images. When this number
reaches zero, replace the card or if you have
two cards installed in the camera, select the
other card. The number of images that you can
store on a card is determined by the size of the
images. The size of the image is determined by
the record mode and its settings (resolution
and compression). See "Setting the Record
Mode."

(Photoshop requires the Olympus RAW File Import Plug-in included in the software CD.)
Checking the Battery
The battery check mark [shaped like an AA
(R6) battery] in the control panel indicates
battery performance. When the camera is
switched on, if the battery check appears full
and goes off this means the batteries are fully
charged. If the battery check mark appears
partially filled and continues blinking, the
batteries are low and should be replaced as
soon as possible. If the battery check mark
partially filled goes off and the control panel
extinguishes completely, this means the
batteries are fully discharged and you cannot
continue shooting pictures unless you replace
the batteries.
