Focal lengths that can be set
• If the focal length of the lens you are using is not listed, select the closest value.
Checking the image stabilizer effect with live view
You can hold down the o button during live view to see
the effect of the image stabilizer on the monitor. While in
that position, you can press the shutter button fully to take
a picture.
• When [IMAGE STABILIZER] is set to [OFF], pressing
and holding the o button activates the image stabilizer
([I.S. 1]).
• Either releasing the o button or holding down the o
button for several seconds turns off the image stabilizer.

Notes
• The image stabilizer cannot correct excessive camera
shake or camera shake that occurs when the shutter
speed is set to the slowest speed. In these cases, it is recommended that you use a tripod.
• When using a tripod, set [IMAGE STABILIZER] to [OFF].
• When using a lens with an image stabilization function, turn off the image stabilization function of
either the lens or the camera.
• If [IMAGE STABILIZER] is set to [I.S.1], [I.S.2] or [I.S.3] and you turn off the camera, the camera
will vibrate. This is due to the camera initializing the image stabilizer mechanism. Without this
initialization, the image stabilizer may not be able to achieve the proper effect.
• If the image stabilizer icon is displayed in red on the monitor, it indicates a failure of the image
stabilizer function. If you take a picture as is, the composition may be off. Consult your Olympus
Authorized Service Center.
