 Using the camera wireless LAN function
You can use the camera wireless LAN function to connect to a smartphone o\
ver a 
wireless network.
•  View and transfer images stored on the camera card.
•  Add position information to image using the smartphone position informat\
ion.
•  Operate the camera using your smartphone.
For these operations, a smartphone with the smartphone app installed is \
necessary. 
See the Olympus website for details on “OI.Share”, the smartphone \
app.
# Cautions
•  Before using the wireless LAN function, read “Precautions when using \
the wireless LAN function” (P. 137). 
•  If using the wireless LAN function in a country outside the region where\
 the camera  was purchased, there is a risk that the camera will not conform to the w\
ireless 
communication regulations of that country. Olympus will not be held responsible for 
any failure to meet such regulations.
•  As with any wireless communication, there is always a risk of intercepti\
on by a third  party.
•  The wireless LAN function on the camera cannot be used to connect to a h\
ome or  public access point.
 Preparing your smartphone
Install “OI.Share”, the smartphone app, and then start OI.Share on\
 your smartphone.
 Preparing your camera
There are 2 methods for the wireless LAN connection.
Private Connects using a preset password every time. Use this method 
when you always connect to the same devices, such as your 
smartphone to transfer images.
One-Time Connects using a different password each time. Use this method 
for one-time connection, such as when you wish to share selected 
images among a number of friends.
Select the wireless LAN connection method in advance.  g “Setting up a wireless 
LAN connection (Wi-Fi Settings)” (P. 75)

 appear in images. The camera activates the noise-reduction process after shooting at slow \
shutter 
speeds. During which, shooting is not allowed. You can set [Noise Reduct.] to [Off].
g [Noise Reduct.] (P. 79)

Image taken appears whitish
This may occur when the picture is taken in backlight or semi-backlight \
conditions. This is 
due to a phenomenon called  fl are or ghosting. As far as possible, consider a composition 
where strong light source is not taken in the picture. Flare may occur e\
ven when a light 
source is not present in the picture. Use a lens hood to shade the lens \
from the light source. 
If a lens hood does not have effect, use your hand to shade the lens from the light.

Cleaning and storing the camera
Cleaning the camera
Turn off the camera and remove the battery before cleaning the camera.
Exterior:
•  Wipe gently with a soft cloth. If the camera is very dirty, soak the cloth in mild soapy water and wring well. Wipe the camera with the damp cloth and then dry it with\
 a dry cloth. If you 
have used the camera at the beach, use a cloth soaked in clean water and\
 well wrung.
Monitor:
•  Wipe gently with a soft cloth.
Lens:
•  Blow dust off the lens with a commercially available blower. For the lens, wipe gently with a lens cleaning paper.
Storage
•  When not using the camera for a prolonged period, remove the battery and\
 card. Store the camera in a cool, dry place that is well ventilated.
•  Insert the battery periodically and test the camera’s functions.
•  Remove dust and other foreign matter from the body and rear caps before \
attaching them.
•  Attach the body cap to the camera to prevent dust from getting inside wh\
en no lens is  attached. Be sure to replace the front and rear lens caps before putting\
 the lens away.
•  Clean the camera after use.
•  Do not store with insect repellent.
Cleaning and checking the image pickup device
This camera incorporates a dust reduction function to keep dust from get\
ting on the 
image pickup device and to remove any dust or dirt from the image pickup\
 device 
surface with ultrasonic vibrations. The dust reduction function operates when the 
camera is turned on.
The dust reduction function operates at the same time as the pixel mappi\
ng, which 
checks the image pickup device and image processing circuitry. Since dust reduction 
is activated every time the camera’s power is turned on, the camera should be held 
upright for the dust reduction function to be effective.
# Cautions
•  Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or alcohol, or a chemically t\
reated cloth.
•  Avoid storing the camera in places where chemicals are treated, in order \
to protect the  camera from corrosion.
•  Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left dirty.
•  Check each part of the camera before use if it has not been used for a l\
ong time. Before  taking important pictures, be sure to take a test shot and check that th\
e camera works 
properly.
