You can download the manual direct from Olympus website.Excellent camera for the money. The camera can use lithium batteries bought with charger from under £20. Memory flash cards 16 gb for under £20. Camera pictures are outstanding. Invest in a cable to transfer direct to laptop. Pick this camera up 2nd hand with lenses for a bargain. You will love it.

After taking photos with a camera phone and getting good feedback I wanted to learn 'real' photography skills. So I bought this camera knowing it was a few years old and has 2 lenses to play with (making me look the part lol). I feel this camera is great for a beginner as I'm able to play with settings (apature, shutter speed, exposure .etc). As far as I'm concerned the results I'm getting are great and easily transferred to my apple laptop to share/edit/view. Controls are simple and it's a nice size to. Maybe not the camera for someone who hasn't got a clue/care for photography but idea for someone who respects the skills and wants to learn the technical. This camera retailed at approx £500 back in the day and I picked it up for just over £100 but what I've learnt and the pics I've achieved are priceless.Read full review

The camera was bought as a Christmas present for self/family. We already have a compact digital Olympus,which has been very good for most purposes but wanted something with higher resolution and more ability to control the settings particularly with flash settings and aperture/shutter speed. we found that indoor shots were often out of focus with no way of actually controlling the focus. Took advice from a professional photograher friend as we wanted the camera to be as light and small as possible. Read lots of reviews online which indicated that it was a good buy. The Olympus is apparently the lightest and smallest at the moment . The cost from the main retailers was likely to be high with one asking over £700 at the time and most with only one lens but found the item on eBay offering a bonus of two lenses for under £400 so took a chance. It has a large screen and has live view so you have the choice of using the view finder or screen to take pictures. The pictures are stored on Compact Flash cards or Olympus XD which was an atttraction as we already have some large XD cards for use with the Compact camera So far we are very pleased with purchase. The quick start intruction sheet was in French?? but main book in English. Still learning the finer points of use but results so far with Christmas pictures taken indoors and out have been very good and the instruction book is clear. The whole thing is heavier,bulkier and less convenient than the compact camera but am looking forward to the extra picture quality and variation that can be achieved. Did consider the Nikon and Canon alternatives but they were heavier and /or didn't have the live view. Happy with decision.Read full review
I am a keen photographer and currently studying freelance and commercial photography. I needed an SLR camera to assist me with my projects and to develop my skills further. I had read some good reviews about this camera and I have to say that all the reviews were correct. This is a high resolution 10-megapixel camera and the images produced are sharp and crystal clear. When used with a tripod, I have taken some amazing photographs. The camera is relatively easy to use, and has the range of options that you would expect to have with a standard SLR. The LCD monitor is of a good size. My purchase came with two Zuiko zoom lenses which was a bonus and the lenses are very easy to change. It can also be used with underwater housing. The camera body is reasonably light and compact for an SLR and came with camera strap but no case. The instruction manuals are OK, and do provide some guidelines and explanations but could be more descriptive to benefit buyers with little experience of using SLR's. There are built in shooting modes to choose from for taking shots in different scenes such as portrait, macro, sunset, beach, action, nightscene etc, that save you having to manually adjust the camera settings. However there is no movie option as per other Olympus models, and not as many built in Edit options. Alternatively you can set the aperture and shutter speed manually fo greater control. Overall I have been very impressed with the quality of the photographs produced and the camera was purchased at a very reasonable cost.Read full review
