this is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

90 EN
 Monitor
Difficult to see.
• When the screen is difficult to see in bright environment (e.g. outdoors),
maximize the screen brightness. g “Difficulty of seeing the screen (monitor
boost)” (P. 11)
• Condensation may have occurred. Turn off the power, and wait for the camera
body to become acclimated to the surrounding temperature and dry out before
taking pictures.
The light is caught in the picture.
• Shooting with flash in dark situations results in an image with many flash
reflections on dust in the air.

 Date and time function

Date and time settings return to the default setting.
• If the batteries are removed and left out of the camera for about 3 days*1, the
date and time settings return to the default setting, and must be reset.
*1 The time until the date and time settings return to the default setting varies
depending on how long the batteries have been loaded.
g “Turning on the camera and making the initial settings” (P. 9)

 Lens
Lens gets fogged.
• For rapid temperature change, lens fogging (condensation) may occur.

 Shooting tips
When you are unsure of how to take a picture that you envision, refer to the
information below.

 Focusing
Focusing on the subject.
• Taking a picture of a subject not in the center of the monitor. g P. 10
After focusing on an object at the same distance as the subject, compose
the shot, and take the picture.
• Set [AF Mode] to [Face/iESP]. g P. 45
• Taking a picture in [AF Tracking] mode. g P. 45
The camera tracks the subject movement automatically to focus on it
continuously.
• Taking a picture of a shadowy subject. g P. 48
Using the AF illuminator makes focusing easier.
• Taking a picture of subjects where autofocus is difficult.
In the following cases, after focusing on an object (by pressing the shutter
button halfway down) with high contrast at the same distance as the subject,
compose the shot, and take the picture.

Subject with low contrast Excessively bright light in Subject containing no

center of frame vertical lines *1

Subjects at different Fast-moving subject Subject not inside AF

distances area
*1 It is also effective to compose the shot by holding the camera vertically to
focus, and then returning to the horizontal position to take the picture.

94 EN
 Camera shake
Taking pictures without camera shake.
• Taking pictures using [Image Stabilizer]. g P. 47
The camera detects camera movement to reduce the blur even if the ISO
sensitivity is not increased. This function is also effective when taking
pictures at a high zoom magnification.
• Shooting movies using [IS Movie Mode]. g P. 51
• Select [J Sport] in the scene mode. g P. 22
The [J Sport] mode uses a fast shutter speed and can reduce the blur
incurred by a moving subject.
• Taking pictures at a high ISO sensitivity. g P. 40
If a high ISO sensitivity is selected, pictures can be taken at a high shutter
speed even at locations where a flash cannot be used.

 Exposure (brightness)
Taking pictures with the right brightness.
• Taking pictures of a subject against a backlight
Faces or backgrounds are bright even when shot against backlight.
[Shadow Adjust] g P. 54
[E Backlight HDR] g P. 22
• Taking pictures using [Face/iESP]. g P. 45
Appropriate exposure is obtained for a face against backlight, and the face
is brightened.
• Taking pictures using [Spot Metering]. g P. 46
Brightness is matched with a subject in the center of the screen and the
image is not affected by background light.
• Taking pictures using [Fill In] flash. g P. 34
A subject against backlight is brightened.
• Taking pictures of a white beach or snow scene. g P. 22
Select [g Beach & Snow] in the scene mode.
• Taking pictures using exposure compensation. g P. 39
Adjust the brightness while viewing the screen for taking the picture.
Normally, taking pictures of white subjects (such as snow) results in images
that are darker than the actual subject. Use the exposure compensation to
adjust in the positive (+) direction to express whites as they appear. When
taking pictures of black subjects, on the other hand, it is effective to adjust in
the negative (-) direction.

EN 95
  Color hue
Taking pictures with colors at the same shade as they appear.
• Taking pictures by selecting white balance. g P. 39
Best results in most environments can normally be obtained with the [WB
Auto] setting, but for some subjects, you should try experimenting with
different settings. (This is especially true for sunshade under a clear sky,
mixed natural and artificial light settings, and so on.)

 Image quality
Taking sharper pictures.
• Taking pictures with the optical zoom or super-resolution zoom.
Avoid using digital zoom (P. 46) to take pictures.
• Taking pictures at a low ISO sensitivity. g P. 40
If the picture is taken with a high ISO sensitivity, noise (small colored spots
and color unevenness that were not in the original image) can occur, and the
image can appear grainy.

Playback/Editing tips
 Playback
Playing images in the internal memory and card.
• Remove the card and display the images in internal memory. g P. 5
Viewing images with high picture quality on a highdefinition TV.
• Connect the camera to the TV using an HDMI cable. g P. 78

 Editing
Erasing the sound recorded to a still image.
• Record over the sound with silence when playing back the image.

 Important information about water and shock
resistant features
Water resistance: The waterproof feature is warranted*1 to operate at
depths up to 15 m (49.2 feet) for up to one hour.
The waterproof feature may be compromised if the camera is subject to
substantial or excessive impact.
• Do not push the monitor hard with it opened.
Shock resistance: The anti-shock feature warrants*2 the operation of the
camera against accidental impact incurred from everyday use of your digital
compact camera. The anti-shock feature does not unconditionally warrant
all defective operation or cosmetic damage. Cosmetic damage, such as
scratches and dents, are not covered under the warranty.
As with any electronic device, proper care and maintenance are required
to preserve the integrity and operation of your camera. To maintain camera
performance, please take your camera to the nearest Olympus Authorized
Service Center to have it inspected after any major impact. In the event the

• In a location not open to the sky (inside, underground, underwater, in a forest, near high buildings) or in a
location subject to strong magnetic or electric fields (near new high-voltage power lines, magnets or electrical
goods, 1.5GHz mobile telephones), it may not be possible to determine measurements or generate errors.
• The altitude displayed on the measurement information screen or picture playback screen etc. is displayed/
recorded based on information from pressure sensors built into camera body. Be careful since the displayed
altitude is not based on GPS position measurements.
• Electronic compass errors may be caused by the effects of strong magnetic or electrical fields (such as
televisions, microwaves, large motors, radio towers and high-voltage lines). To restore the electronic compass
function, hold the camera firmly and move in a figure of 8 while turning your wrist over.
• Since the GPS is not required to be accurate, there is no guarantee that the measured values (latitude,
longitude, compass direction etc.) are accurate.

114 EN
 Monitor
• Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise the image may become vague, resulting in a playback mode
failure or damage to the monitor.
• A strip of light may appear on the top/bottom of the monitor, but this is not a malfunction.
• When a subject is viewed diagonally in the camera, the edges may appear zigzagged on the monitor. This is
not a malfunction; it will be less noticeable in playback mode.
• In places subject to low temperatures, the monitor may take a long time to turn on or its color may change
temporarily. When using the camera in extremely cold places, it is a good idea to occasionally place it in
a warm place. The monitor exhibiting poor performance due to low temperatures will recover in normal
temperatures.
• The monitor of this product is manufactured with high-quality accuracy, however, there may be a stuck or
dead pixel on the monitor. These pixels do not have any influence on the image to be saved. Because of the
characteristics, the unevenness of the color or brightness may also be found depending on the angle, but this
is due to the structure of the monitor. This is not a malfunction.

 FCC/IC Caution
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power
wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power
Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas
high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce
heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found
any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have
not been confirmed by additional research. STYLUS TG-870 has been tested and found to comply with FCC/IC
radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure
Guidelines and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.
