Setting the focal length
By setting in advance the focal length of the lens, you can
use the image stabilizer function also with lenses other than
Four Thirds system lenses. This setting is deactivated when
a Four Thirds system lens is attached.

Press the F button when the image stabilizer is
turned on.

2

Use the dial or

Focal lengths that can be set (based on a 35-mm camera)

• 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 blinks 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.
