Additional shooting tips and information
Increasing the number of pictures that can be taken
The captured image will be recorded on the card. The following ways describe
how to record more images.
• Change the image mode.
The size of an image varies with the record mode. When you are not sure of the
available card capacity, change the image mode and shoot the picture. The
smaller the [PIXEL COUNT] and the bigger the [COMPRESSION], the smaller
the size of the image becomes. You can select both in [SQ] of the record mode.
• Use a card with large capacity.
The number of recordable images varies with the capacity of the card. Use a
card with large capacity.
Using a new card
If you use a non-Olympus card or a card used for another application, such as
for a computer, the message [CARD FULL] is displayed. To use this card with
this camera, use the [FORMAT] function to format the card.

Performing any of the following operations when not actually taking pictures
can deplete the battery power.
