White balance Color reproduction differs depending on the light conditions. For instance, when daylight or tungsten lighting are reflected on white paper, the shade of white produced will be slightly different for each. With a film camera, you can adjust color balance using different films for different light conditions or by using filters. With a digital camera, on the other hand, white color can be adjusted to reproduce more natural white with a digital processor.
PAGE 86
White balance Color temperature The spectral balance of different white light sources is rated numerically by color temperature—a concept of physics, expressed using the Kelvin (K) temperature scale. The higher the color temperature, the richer the light in bluish tones and the poorer in reddish; the lower the color temperature, the richer the light in reddish tones and the poorer in bluish. It follows, then, that the color temperatures of fluorescent lights make them unsuitable as artificial light sources.

7 Flash Optional electronic flashes You can take advantage of a variety of flash shooting techniques to suit different shooting conditions with the flash units specified for use with this camera — the Olympus FL-50, FL-40, and FL-20 electronic flashes. These flashes communicate with the camera to make available various flash modes, such as auto-flash, red-eye reduction flash, slow synchronization, and controlled light emission. The flash can be mounted on the camera by attaching it to the camera’s hot shoe.
PAGE 99
Using the electronic flash The following instructions describe how to connect and use the FL-50 electronic flash (optional). Be sure to attach the flash to the camera before turning on the flash’s power. 1 Remove the hot shoe cover by sliding it in the direction indicated by the arrow in the illustration. button ● Keep the shoe cover in a safe place to avoid losing it, and put it back on the camera after flash shooting. 2 Attach the FL-50 electronic flash to the hot shoe on the camera.
PAGE 100
Using the electronic flash Note ● When shooting with the flash control mode set to TTL-AUTO, pre-flashes are emitted before firing the regular flash. ● When the flash control mode is set to TTL-AUTO, or when shooting a subject at a distance with ISO set to 400 or higher, flash control accuracy will decrease. Flash mode The camera sets the flash mode according to various factors such as firing pattern and flash timing. Available flash modes depend on the exposure mode.
PAGE 101
Flash mode Slow synchronization (1st curtain) SLOW The slow synchronization flash is designed for slow shutter speeds. Normally, when shooting with a flash, shutter speeds cannot go below a certain level to prevent camera movement. But when shooting a subject against a night scene, fast shutter speeds can make the background too dark. Slow synchronization allows you to capture both the background and the subject.
PAGE 102
Flash mode Slow synchronization + Red-eye reduction flash SLOW This mode is for when you want to use slow synchronization, yet also reduce the redeye phenomenon. For instance, when shooting a person against a brightly lit night background. A normal flash might make the person’s eyes red, but this mode lets you capture the background correctly and reduce the red-eye phenomenon at the same time. 2nd curtain flash with red-eye reduction is not available.

Super FP flash Super FP flash is available with the FL-50. Super FP flash timing is longer than standard flash timing. This means that pictures can be taken at a higher speed than is possible with normal flashes. Viewfinder Flash shooting with the aperture open such as in portrait shooting is also possible with Super FP flash. For details, refer to the FL-50 manual. Flash intensity control This adjusts the amount of light emitted by the flash. In some situations (e.g.
PAGE 105
Using commercially available flashes The amount of light emitted cannot be adjusted on commercially available flashes except for those specified. The flash can be used by connecting to the hot shoe or by connecting the synchro cable to the external flash connector. A small versatile flash can be synchronized with the camera at a shutter speed of 1/180 sec. or less, whereas a large flash (such as a studio flash) can be synchronized at 1/125 sec. or less.
PAGE 106
Using commercially available flashes Non-specified commercial flashes Before selecting a non-specified commercial flash, be sure to read the following information carefully to determine whether or not it can be used with this camera. (1) Some flashes available on the market operate with a synchro terminal with a voltage of 250 V or over. If one of these is used, it may damage the camera, and/or the camera may not function normally.

Maintenance PIXEL MAPPING and dust reduction The PIXEL MAPPING feature allows the camera to check and adjust the CCD and image processing functions. It is not necessary to operate this function frequently. Approximately once a year is recommended. After using the monitor or taking continuous shots, wait for at least one minute before using the PIXEL MAPPING function to ensure that it operates correctly. Dust reduction also works at the same time to remove dust on the CCD.
PAGE 171
Maintenance CLEANING MODE The dust reduction function will remove most dirt or dust on the CCD. However, when dust or dirt is not removed completely, black dots may appear in the picture. If this happens, contact your Olympus Authorized Service Center to have the CCD physical cleaned. The CCD is a precision device and is easily damaged. When cleaning the CCD on your own, be sure to follow the instructions below. When cleaning the CCD, the specified AC adapter should be used (P. 21).

Glossary of terms Spot metering The meter reading is taken from a very small area around the center of the subject, defined by the spot metering area mark in the viewfinder. Spot metering is ideal for use in difficult light conditions, or when the important element of the picture (subject’s face) is small. Use spot metering for backlit subjects, or sports and stage performers. See also digital ESP metering and center weighted averaging metering.
