A Guide to Using the Olympus Digital Camera

Taking Pictures There are a number of modes to use to take photos. If you want to learn the fancy stuff, study the users manual. Otherwise, follow these steps:

1. Place the top dial to the P position. The camera will turn on, make grinding noises and emit a number of beeps. Ignore all of that.

2. Take the lens cap off.

You don’t need a picture for this step.

3. Push the “Quick View” button. This allows you to see the screen. Alternately, you could use the viewfinder and save batteries.

4. Find the shutter button on the top of the camera. It is surrounded by the zoom lever switch.

5. Use this lever to operate the zoom.

6. Depress the shutter button half way to get a preview of a potential picture.

7. Depress the shutter all the way to take a picture.
