QuickStart Guide

D-550 ZOOM

It is strongly recommended that

you follow these step-by-step

numbered instructions to set up

and quickly begin using your

new D-550 Zoom Digital

Camera.

For more detailed instructions on advanced features, please refer to the

printed Basic Manual included in your package, or the Reference

Manual on the CD-ROM.

PREPARE THE CAMERA FOR USE

Before you begin using your Olympus D-550 Zoom Digital Camera...

Load the Batteries

Load 4 AA batteries into the compartment as indicated in

the illustrations and on the camera body. Close the cover and

slide it towards the camera body until you feel a click. Put the

battery compartment door back into the locked position.

Confirm you have installed the batteries properly and that there

is power to the monitor by pressing

message should be displayed in the LCD monitor. Turn the monitor

off by pressing

again.

TIP: For best results, Olympus strongly recommends using four AA nickel metal hydride (NiMH) rechargeable

batteries. An optional Olympus AC adapter also is available, and is recommended when downloading images to

ensure a consistent power supply.

See the D-550 Zoom Basic Manual for more information on battery use.

Insert the SmartMedia

The SmartMedia card is where the camera stores your pictures. The pictures

you take remain on the SmartMedia card even when the camera is turned off

and/or the batteries are removed.

TURNING ON THE CAMERA

All you need to do is slide the lens cover open or closed to turn the

camera ON or OFF.

Turn the camera ON (Shooting Mode)

Open the lens cover fully. You should feel two clicks. The lens barrel extends and the flash pops up.

If the lens barrel does not extend, the lens cover is probably not fully open. Slide the lens cover

completely to the open position.

To turn the camera off, slide the lens cover until you feel the first click. Allow the lens barrel to retract,

then close the lens cover completely, and press the flash down until it locks into place.

TIP: To maximize battery life, the D-550 Zoom features a power saving mode in which

the camera enters a sleep mode after approximately three (3) minutes of non-use. Press

the shutter button or zoom lever to wake up the camera.
