Olympus Stylus 400 Digital 入門マニュアル

• Never open the card cover, remove the battery or disconnect the AC 

adapter while the orange lamp is blinking. Doing so could destroy 
stored pictures and prevent storage of the pictures you have just 
taken.

• When taking pictures against strong backlight, the area of the 

picture in shadow may appear colored.

• When you point the camera lens toward a bright subject, smears 

(lines like beams of light) may appear on the image in the monitor. 
This does not affect recorded pictures.

Viewfinder

Monitor

Advantages

Camera movement does 

not occur easily and 

subjects can be seen 

clearly even in bright 

places.

Little battery power is 

used.

You can check the picture area 

that the camera actually 

records more accurately.

Disadvantages When close to a subject, 

the image in the viewfinder 

is a little different from the 

picture that the camera 

actually records.

Camera movement can occur 

easily and subjects may be 

difficult to see in bright/dark 

places. The monitor uses more 

battery power than the 

viewfinder.

Tips

Use the viewfinder for 

general snapshots 

(landscape pictures, 

casual shots, etc.).

Use the monitor when you 
want to shoot while checking 
the picture area that the 
camera actually records. Use 
when taking macro pictures or 
close-ups of a person or flower.

• The camera records a wider area than the image in the 

viewfinder.

• As you get closer to the subject, the actual image recorded 

becomes lower than the one in the viewfinder (see left).
