QuickStart Guide

C-4000 ZOOM
It is strongly recommended
START
that you follow these step-
by-step numbered
instructions to set up and
quickly begin using your
new C-4000 Zoom digital
camera.
For more detailed instructions on advanced features, please refer
to the printed Basic Manual included in your package, or the
Reference Manual on the CD-ROM.
PREPARE THE CAMERA FOR USE
Before you begin using your Olympus C-4000 Zoom Digital Camera...
a.
Load the batteries
The CR-V3 lithium batteries included with your C-4000 Zoom
are much more powerful than standard AA alkaline batteries.
Please note that they are not rechargeable.
Load the two CR-V3 lithium batteries. Note they can only be
inserted with the indentations facing each other. The contact terminals
must be inserted first, as shown at right. Never force battery insertion.
When loading CR-V3 batteries ignore the illustration on the camera body.
If you are loading four AA type batteries into the compartment, load them as
indicated in the illustration on the camera body. Close the cover and lock the
battery compartment door.
TIP: For best results, Olympus strongly recommends using four AA nickel metal
hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries. An optional Olympus AC adapter also
is available, and is recommended when downloading images to ensure a consistent
power supply.
See the C-4000 Zoom Basic Manual for more information on battery use.
b.
Insert the SmartMedia
The SmartMedia card is where the camera stores your pictures. The pictures
you take remain on the SmartMedia card even when the camera is turned off
and/or the batteries are removed.

TURNING ON THE CAMERA

The camera Power/Mode dial is used to select the various operation modes.
a.
Turn the camera ON
• Squeeze the tabs on the sides of the lens cap to remove it.
• Turn the Power/Mode dial counter clock-wise to the "P" position.The monitor will activate briefly,
and then turn off.
TIP: To maximize battery life, the C-4000 Zoom features a power saving mode in which the camera enters a sleep
mode after approximately three (3) minutes of non-use. Press the shutter button or zoom lever to wake up the camera.
b.
Set the Date and Time
Although this is not required, it is recommended that you set the date and time. This affects the way
image files are named, and each picture will be recorded with this information.
• Set the mode dial to "P" and press
• Press on the arrow pad to select MODE MENU.
• To access the Date/Time menu, press
• Press five (5) times to select
• Use the keys to select the desired date format (usually M, D, Y).
• Press to proceed to the next field. Adjust the date and time in the appropriate fields using the
keys. Repeat the process until all date/time fields have been set.
Note: Time is entered using the 24-hour format.
• Press twice to set the date and time and exit the menu.

UNPACKING THE BOX CONTENTS

Gather your C-4000 Zoom and all the parts as shown in the illustrations. You'll need these to complete the steps for the
camera set-up procedures that follow.
C-4000 Zoom Strap
with lens cap retainer string
The following items are also included in the C-4000 Zoom package: Video cable, SmartMedia card instructions, Basic Manual,
warranty card, registration card, safety precautions booklet, and SmartMedia write-protect adhesive seals.
First, make sure the camera is OFF. Open the card cover door. Note the diagram on the inside of the
door. Match the orientation of the SmartMedia card to the diagram, and slide the card into the spring-
loaded slot as far as it will go. Close the cover until it locks into place; you will feel it snap closed.
Avoid opening the card cover, removing the SmartMedia card, or removing the
batteries while the camera is ON. Doing so could damage all pictures stored on the
SmartMedia card.
Battery compartment lock
To remove a SmartMedia card, push it into the camera, and then release it. The card partially ejects
and can now be removed.
c.
Attach the carrying strap and lens cap retainer string
We recommend that you attach the strap and lens cap retainer string at this time to make the
camera easier to handle and prevent loss of the lens cap. Attach the strap as illustrated.
