PREPARATION
Selecting the Appropriate Card
Prepare another card.
ⅷ When you expect to shoot a large number of images (while traveling, on
special occasions, etc.), it is a good idea to bring an extra card (in addition
to the provided 8 MB card).
ⅷ The number of images you can shoot varies according to the card capacity and
Record mode used. Select a suitable card by referring to the following table.

capacity
The commercially available 5 V card cannot be used with this camera. Use the
Olympus brand card or a commercially available 3 V (3.3 V) card.
Unusable cards
This camera may not be able to recognize a card that is not manufactured by
Olympus or Lexar or a card which has been formatted on another device such as a
PC. To avoid problems, you should format each card before using it on this camera.
Using the Three Record Modes
SQ:
Select this mode when you want to attach the image to e-mail, simply view it on your PC
screen, or want to shoot more images per card.
HQ: Select this mode when you need image quality in between SQ and SHQ. Images can be enlarged
to a certain degree when they are viewed on a PC screen. (This is the default recording mode.)
SHQ: Select this mode when you want to print the image with high quality or a large size or
to retouch it on your PC.
ⅷFor details on the Record modes and how to select them, refer to
“Selecting the Image Quality” ( Page 54).
ⅷThe number of shootable images is also variable because the data
quantity per image is variable depending on the shot subject.
ⅷThe image counter may not decrement when an image is shot and may
not increment even when an image is erased.
ⅷCards with a capacity of 4 MB or more can be used with this camera.
ⅷFor details on handling your card, refer to the instructions provided with it.
*“999” is displayed on the monitor when the number of shootable images exceeds 999.
